The way dogs handle new food is interesting. They have very short digestive tracts so the idea for them is to eat everything once, and if it makes them sick it will make them sick very quickly. They then know not to eat something.
Thats a possible reason for the aversion. They can also associate foods with traumatic events sort of like humans do.
Not sure my dog has that ptsd linkage circuit working. Syringe forced like 60ml of h2o2 down his throat when he ate a bunch of grapes to make him barf them up and the dude will snatch up grapes like anything still.

So you’re saying they need to force feed the treats to get them to learn?
