Update:
First off, I tried a piece of Acana and a piece of Science Diet, wont lie the SD smelled better than Acana... BUT when I ate 'em they tasted the same! It's just that's outter layer grrrr.

I think I found a trick... I couldn't find any gravy type products to mix in up here in my small town except for some no name stuff... so today I took a piece of Acana and put in my hand and showed it to Tikka.

She put it in her mouth and spit it out. So I did it again, except the second time as soon as she put it in her mouth I put my hand under her chin... for about 30 seconds she just looked like she was holding her breath, so I opened her mouth and there was the kibble, just sitting on her tongue.

I kept my hand under her chin and 10 seconds later she ate it, THEN I took a handful of Acana and she scarfed it down! And even a second handful!

All she needed to do was try it! She was going by the smell and not the taste! And people say dogs aren't anything like children... I'll bed to differ! I even gave her a treat for eating all her Acana.
