Can't understand why my dog didn't like the peanut butter dog cookies

Wow, I am surprised. My labradaoodle eats anything, even ants. But he was not interested in these biscuits. He loves peanut butter. Leaves me wondering!!!!
Chef's Comments ~ Thanks for letting me know. One of my taste testers is very very picky. When I first started to give her treats, she would
literally spit them back out at me. It wasn't until I was able to get her to really taste the homemade dog treats that she fell in love with them.
The way I was able to get her to actually taste the treat was to break off a little piece, then act like I wasn't going to give it to her. Then she became interested. Then I asked her to do a familiar trick that I knew after she completed the trick she would eagerly gobble up her usual treat.
That was all I needed to do to get her to actually taste the treat, and after that she was always interested in what I gave her.
Dogs are comfortable with what they know, so it can sometimes be challenging to get them to try new things. Another trick is to "hide" the treat in her regular food. She may eat it, and like it after that.
I hope this helps! Happy Dog Treat Baking. :)
