One of the most notable characteristics of our canine friends is that they passionately love food. However, despite their love for eating, there are certain foods that they will definitely not eat – and lettuce is one of them.
Our furry companions generally prefer human food to dry kibble because it is more delicious. However, since lettuce is mostly water, it lacks flavor and fails to excite our dogs. It would be remarkable if we could convince them to eat lettuce, as it is a low-calorie and very nutritious snack.
If you are one of the dog parents who could not convince your dog to eat lettuce, you should watch the video right here. This brilliant man from Milwaukee, Wisconsin figured out how to get his Golden Retriever, Goose, to always eat his lettuce!
What this man does is he acts as if the lettuce he is eating is the most delicious thing he has ever eaten. Obviously, since there is human food involved, the dog will also want to have a bite! After all, most dogs would really try to copy and have what their owner is doing or eating.
In the amusing video footage, we can see that Goose was fixated on the lettuce in his owner’s hand even before the owner began his acting. This surely shows that whatever this genius was doing was extremely effective even before.
Goose even took a mouthful of the lettuce while his owner described the situation to the camera. In the second part of the amusing video, the man showed the technique to the camera, and exactly two seconds later, Goose began nibbling on the opposite end of the lettuce! Way to go, fur dad!
If your canine is a fussy eater, you could try this method. But avoid feeding them too much lettuce, as it may upset their stomachs.
