I'd recommend our newly released course on Training Dogs with Food Rewards.

For dogs without a very strong food drive, you may need to manipulate the timing of his regular meals til after your daily training and you may need to find something very special for your dog, something he is really interested in.

Some favorites of my picky dogs of the past are string cheese, roasted chicken, small bits of steak, cooked liver, etc.

There is also a training process for luring and rewarding that some dogs will be overwhelmed with if you don't break it down into small steps. The herding breeds tend to be sensitive to someone "in their space" so to speak.
