Presenting the latest in dog training aid: the durian. Guaranteed to get the rapt attention of your dog at all times. Using the durian, you will have no problem recalling your dog, even from very far away. Sure your house and car and refrigerator will smell like a gas leak but that is really a small price to pay when your dog willingly performs all commands and tricks just for a taste of the durian flesh.
These pesticide free durians came courtesy of the relative whose friend owns a plantation in Malaysia. The thick, custard like flesh is delicious, the bitter and sweet perfectly balanced. The whole family, with the exception of the durian hating brother who has escaped to Mount Kinabalu, agrees these are the best we have tasted this year. Sadly, these fruits are the last of the current crop so my plan of having LL be the first dog to join Cirque du Soleil will have to be shelved for a while.
oh such a cute doggie :)

wow, your dog loves durian. I wonder if my cats will eat durian. Maybe I can try the same tactic since they like cream and durians are creamy.

hi there,
my golden retriever is miles away back home and he loves bread, he'll do anything for even a super small slice of one. durian is definitely an interesting dog treat ..
we wrote in our blog bout our frozen durian purchase, (no fresh ones here in Aus unfortunately) and it was no no no good.

Adorable doggie! He reminds me of a friend's chow-chow who would do positively anything for a bite of durian!
Lovely blog, btw. ^_^
