I had the same thought, I always ask for a kiss from my 20 year old QH when I go to do chores. He gets a treat and the " good boy" this all started on his natural behavior to slobber me. I just turned it into a trick, something asked for. I always go off the natural talent and turn it into a asked response. When correctly done I need very little if anything else but a treat and my voice. Treat be it food or plane out lovin' ! But as a student of life I bet their is always more to learn.
