Phred, I loved your post. I got a comical mental picture.

Yep my two love carrots! I buy the little baby carrots and offer them as treatsfor good behavior as well as snacks. Hubby eats an apple for breakfast every day (I know, it's a strange breakfast ) and he cuts up little pieces for the dogs and they really look forward to it. They also love, love, love lettuce. I discovered this one day by accident when I dropped a piece on the floor while making salad. I also give them cooked green beans mixed in with their kibble sometimes.
