I am training a foster dog that is a 70 pound pit bull mix. We are working on aversion therapy, he made it extremely hard to handle treats during training. I thought the price was high for a dog that isn't even mine. It has made life with Boscorelli so much easier. He just needs to see the dispenser to get his attention now. Also try different brands of hotdogs Boscorelli likes a variety, and different brands work better than others.
