kibble drools

Back when I was first starting obedience class with Otis, I was trying to figure out which treats would motivate him to perform. What a joke. He's about the pickiest, least food motivated dog I've ever met. It was so frustrating trying to get him to sit, lie down, etc, for even the tastiest & most discusting things (liver, beef heart, steak, etc) while all the other dogs were manically flying into position for crappy kibbles and dog junk food. Then one day while I was training him I ran out of treats and figured, against all logic, that I'd try kibble. He went nuts for it, doing everthing I asked with bizarre amounts of gusto all the while dripping glistening droplets of drool all over the floor for measly bits of kibble. And this is not a drooly dog. Alas, I have never been able to replicate that inexplicable desire in him. What a fruitcake.
