Most dogs don't dislike all treats, so it may just be that you haven't found one that she likes. You can look into more natural treats or ones that have a distint flavor that is more appealing to her. You can start here with your search--> https://www.amazon.com/s?k=dog+treats&ref=nb_sb_noss_2 Also, look at the ingredients (chicken, beed, turkey) in her dog food and use that same profile when selecting treats. You can also just use her normal dog kibble and give this to her in treat form. I do hope that this helps you find something that Zuzia likes. Best wisehs with her training moving forward!
