Edit for my first post, first paragraph: '....and the fact that you say he doesn't like training....', I left out the word "TREATS" after the word 'training'. I added the word "treats" but apparently forgot to save it! Sorry. Wanted to make point that not liking training treats can lessen his feeling of reward when training or handling him. To me, a food-oriented dog is ever so much easier to train than the rest with one exception: Those intense, high-drive, self-motivated, always-alert working/herding type dogs that make such good service dogs and are always pushing you to work - they are highly toy or prey/object driven.
