ooooooh I forgot all about that! I used that for dog training about 15
years ago. Had a 100 mastiff that I adopted when he was about 5 years old.
Such a sweety... needed some training to live a completely different life
with me. He was left outside to be wild with no manners. He was very
smart, and with liverwurst he'd do anything I asked him.

Thanks for the reminder!
