Interesting read! I might replicate with my two whippets. What’s their inter-rater reliability?
You also should continue with a swap of the hands; randomize which one is in the left and record the results to see if the left bias is real

Author here: I did a quick experiment with my Greyhound, Bebop, to figure out the treat he prefers best using pair-wise comparison analyzed with the Bradley-Terry model. Same tech as Elo scores in chess, and several other places! Enjoy!

The best dog treat is always the treat the OTHER dog is eating.

I missed the word "Treat" in the title initially and I was incensed. All dogs are the best dog TYVM.

My dog told me to write that the set of treats is missing non bleached rawhide, other dehydrated meats (eg rabbit, goat, fish), animal parts (eg ears), and vegetables. Also, he volunteers.
Our Malinois really liked the dehydrated chicken too, currently finishing a bag of the Trader Joes organic chicken jerky sticks. Interesting idea for some experiments, thanks for sharing

Add some interesting smells and dogs will eat absolutely anything.
Used tampons, literal shit, soiled underwear, dierhia, dead bird, freshly killed cat, they owners... It is basically a pig with collar that lives in your house.

* varies by breed
I've seen many a lab eat their own shit, but my standard poodle takes his time investigating even a piece of steak before he decides whether it's worth eating.

And so useful when you don't feel like scraping the dishes. ;-)

This makes me wonder what the research is for whether certain types or breeds of dog prefer certain dog treats, and how individual dogs might develop a preference for one kind over another. Based on this experiment it doesn't seem like the type of meat matters much, since while the top ranked treat is chicken, his second favourite seems to be the duck one.

Bebop is clearly being paid off by Big Chicken to skew the results

Big Chicken == Tyson, I believe, at least in the US.
Big Strawberry == Driscoll's, at least on the west coast. And those are some pretty undistinguished strawberries.

No, Big Chicken == Shaquille O'Neal in the US. It’s right there on the official Big Chicken website and everything.
