Just give the dog meat, not some dried stuff or "baked" vanila cookies rofl. God some people are silly.
You should meet my dog, Indiana Bones.

Indy does not like normal dog treats or chews: if we buy him bones, meaty treats, etc, he will ignore them. This suits our other dog fine, as she loves things like cow ears and beef bones and other normal dog things, so she reaps the benefits of Indy not caring for normal dog treats.

But if you have anything remotely sweet, he will beg and beg and beg. That dog has a bigger sweet tooth than any person I've ever met. And he SAVORS the stuff - it will take him a good 2-3 minutes to eat a cookie, and he has definite favorite flavors of jelly beans that he'll "save" and won't let the other animals near. It's actually pretty hilarious, because he's usually the most submissive dog ever - the only time he stands up to the other animals in our house is if they try to get too close to his sweets!

I also used to have a cat that, when I was little, would ignore treats but would steal my butterscotch pudding if I even looked the other way. Jerk cat, stealing a little girl's pudding.

So yeah, you're wrong. Animals that are exposed to all sorts of food tend to develop various tastes and preferences as well, it's only natural.

The other dog that I mentioned, for example, has a definite preference for kibble that has duck in it - but she doesn't like kibble with buffalo. Like I said, if they have options (and they do, since I worked at a pet store for awhile and still love to spoil them), they will develop their own preferences!
