Dog Question and Request
 

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?

Wife just smacked me in the nose with a rolled up newspaper and told
me to stop playing with her good tupperware.

Now where was I...

I am trying to remember. Are you the guy that couldn't find your copy of
Chapman Piloting, only to find out your wife was using it to hold up the
coffee table with the broken leg?

I remember that story from years ago. It was one of the funniest posts on
rec.boats.

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.

Border Collies are pretty smart when it comes to figuring something
out.

I did this when they were about one year old. Both of them looked at
me, looked at the bowl, thought about it for a minute, then pickup up
the bowls with their teeth, put a paw under the edge and flipped it
over.

When they were about the same age, I used to take an old comforter we
had and I'd hide under it and call for them. The first time I did it,
they would try to "dig" through the cover to get to me without
success. The second time, they both grabbed a corner and pulled it
right off of me.

I've seen Border Collies learn how to turn a door knob.

No, but Loogy can be baited in the same fashion. Take a post from
Harry, and try NOT to get him to look at it...impossible, because the
man is stupid. Period.

Keep hanging around, I'll teach you how to be a real man, instead of
another one of Harry's bitches like Don.
