My DH has a slight addiction problem - he's addicted to Hersheys kisses. Nearly every evening since we've had Jax, our older GSD, DH will get a handful of kisses out of the candy jar and sit down to eat them; with Jax watching him closely. DH gives Jax the lecture on how dogs can't have chocolate, but that hasn't kept Jax from wanting them.
While grocery shopping last night we found a small package of chocolate (really carob) flavored dog treats, meant for little yippy dogs. According to the ingredients label, they're junk, but since we won't be feeding them regularly, we bought a pack.
Got home and at his usual time DH got out a handful of kisses and settled in his recliner, with Jax watching his every move. This time, instead of giving Jax the lecture, DH pretended to unwrap a kiss and substituted one of these dog treats. He offered it to Jax. Jax was ecstatic and took it quickly. The look Jax got on his face was priceless.
I'll bet those treats didn't taste anything like what his nose has been telling them they would for the last two years.
