Subject: Food Motivation and Connecticut

I could easily swing by Connecticut with two cute females!!

Speaking of food motivation, Azaan is completely not food motivated. She is the only dog I have ever owned that really can turn her nose up at food. Just yesterday I decided to use raw ground meatballs during our short training session. I use marker training. We went out and I gave her a command, said "Yes!" as her marker, and then plopped a raw meatball into her mouth. The look on her face was as though I was trying to poison her. She dropped her head and spit the entire perfectly formed meatball into the grass and looked at it like it was the nastiest thing on earth. I have NEVER owned a dog that has been so unmotivated by food. Keep in mind that this was grocery store fresh raw ground meat I was using. She has spit out other things when training -- cooked white meat chicken, cooked hamburger, hot dogs, etc. I get the impression that most BB's are chow hounds.
