A buddy told me this and I tried it on every dog I've had since.
Take a biscuit, show it to the dog, put it on the floor and then
put a light weight plastic bowl over it. Not a transparent one.
My smart dog wasn't fooled, and knocked the bowl off every time.
My 2 dumb dogs - hard as hell to train them anything - never had a
clue. The biscuit never existed once the bowl went over it.
Anybody care to give it a try?

I didn't trick Auggie Doggie either but he couldn't manage to knock
the bowl over. He pushed around and pawed at it for a while then just
started screwing with me about it.
"Hey buddy, you are the one with the thumbs, help me out here" sort
of thing.
Sounds like a smart one. Did you teach him any tricks?
That dog of mine had the same problem flipping the bowl,
so she got a butter knife from the drawer and slipped it under the
bowl to flip it over.
Best trick I taught her was to play poker with me, but that ended up
costing me quite a bit of cash.
