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?

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

Careful, dummy. Real men don't start their sentences with "Hee hee".
They also don't cater to their adult sons and get assigned "chores" from
their wives. They also have friends - guys who boat and fish with them
so they don't have to one-hand a camera in a rowboat.

Ok. I tried it with Mrs.E's. little Westie. Put the dog treat on the
floor so she saw it, then put a colored plastic cup over it. Stupid dog
just stared at it for a minute, then looked at me with a "what the hell?"
expression.

Didn't have a clue.

Haven't tried it with Sam Adams yet. He'd probably eat the cup. Not sure
I want to try it with Fudge.
He might get ****ed and eat me.

I was going to say, I would try it with my Chow but he would probably
just get ****ed and bite me.. My last dog was a funny dog, rescue
doggie too. If I screwed around and play hit the kid, she bit me, if
they fooled around and play hit me, ...................she still bit
me..... When I would screw around with them they would just yell
"help" and I would have to go lock myself in the bedroom...;)

I tried it with my GSD. He wasn't fooled for a second. Now... flipping the
bowl over was a different matter. He pushed that thing around the floor
'till he finally had it against a wall, and victory was his. Cute test.
