The ball is on our court, or perhaps I should say, the treat is on the ground while our duty lies in front of us. Which way will we look?

Does this work for ‘Dog the Bounty Hunter’? Guess his new wife is not satisfying his needs, thus he’s out banging on doors.

For 20 years in the Water Business and too many of them Reading Meters I always kept a box of Treats in the truck and a few in My pocket. After a couple of Readings most of the Dog’s on My Route were sitting at the fence, tails wagging and almost smiling when I pulled up to Read. Even the “really mean and big ones.”
Mind over matter...

That system works for most dogs—for not for chows chows.
They will ignore the treat and growl at the stranger.
Rumor is they guarded the loot of the Mongolian Hordes back in the old days...

It’s not so great with Dobermans, either.
They’ll ignore the ones you toss in the yard, hoping you’ll come close to the fence and ‘hand feed’ them.
Sneaky bastards.
:D

I had a couple of “scary“ dogs years ago. One day I opened the food to get the mail, and they bolted past me. They ran half a block after the mail lady, It was a race to see who could get there first, and sit for a treat. Then they trotted back to the house.

My dogs won’t take treats from anyone but me.

Precisely what those stimulus checks to the serfs was all about...
Look how the serfs have rolled over and played dead ever since...

What? It says “food” where it should say “door,” Aside from that it’s pretty straight forward.

Back in the ‘40s I would walk with our mailman, Harry, on his route some weekends. He always had dog treats as well. Time tested. Fond memories.

We have owned two Chows.
They were great Watch Dogs.
Otherwise they excelled in indifference.
It’s like we had two 90 Pound Cats who wouldn’t give us the time of day.

I suspected it was an amusing story that’s why I was trying hard to figure it out. Thanks for the clarification. My brain is just not working too well I guess.

too bad the chicken littles that are running around screeching “we’re all gonna die” won’t stop barking after getting their treatment...
