How smart is your dog?

if mine opens the door and leaves it open i say what did you forget to do she just groans and slams the door shut when i have an itch that i cant reach i just use the laser point and let het starch it well i starched her back she starches mine but the creepiest is when im sleeping and she goes behind me and starts stroking me with her paws its really creepy she's pretty smart but she'll eat anything i remember when she was at a school play and tried to eat the kid dressed up as a hot dog

Having four dogs now and having had many dogs, Their learning sit ,roll over and fetch really doesn't matter unless this is what you want them to do. Frankly thats boring. I taught my dog Trouble to catch footballs and frisbee. He could go out for a long pass and run patterns based on the call count at the line of scrimmage. Yea he played wide receiver with all of us. He was better then anyone even Jerry Rice. People were amazed. He caught the ball and just ran to the end zone. Then he dropped it or brought it back after the play. Now that's a dog! He passed on into the big dog heaven in the sky. He was pretty old for Belgian shepherd 12 and had cancer. My Dog Titus a really big Doberman just knows when it is time to go walking. Dogs all have their own tricks and they teach each other good tricks and bad ones. Trouble Taught Lucky my Stabbyhoun to catch frisbee. Lucky would also play defense against Trouble. It was funny to watch because Lucky was unstoppable.

I had a German Shepard when I was a kid that would meet me at school when it let out.He would just sit and wait. Well the dog catcher got him one day, and from then on he would meet me at the first road he would have to cross toward the school. I did not teach him that he figured it out by himself. I was kind of glad because when we would meet he would grab my arm with his teeth and pretty much drag me home. This was only one block compared to the 8 blocks previous to that. It really wasn't even my dog at first. The people that owned him had a 6 foot privacy fence and this dog would climb it and be at my house every morning waiting on me. They installed an electric fence on top of the privacy fence, an he would still be at my house every morning. Finally they said you can just have him. I loved that dog & he loved me too!

Saber..

He can

Sit

Stay

Come

Leave it

Ignore it

Fetch

Lay down

Stand Up

Give Paw

Go on

Agility Training [Still Not Perfected]

My dog goes with my on long walks but he likes to pull me on my skateboard, if he goes to fast I will command him with "Easy". If dogs bark at him I will tell him to "Ignore it" and he will not even glance, and i made sure to teach him "leave it" cause people leave food and stuff on the ground. If i need to stop Ill say "wait" and when I want to go "go on"....I think Saber is very smart and I am proud to own him.

P.S -.- He also recently learned to open the yard's gate and doors(If they have his tug of war short toy which only my room has =])...[had to put a lock on the gate lol >.<]

ADD: Thank you, I definitely like to think so =]

Smart enough to open the fridge with paws, open my metal pedal bin.

Smart dogs can be just as much work to train, if not more at times, but worth it.

Smart enough to turn lights on, fetch me things by name, and make my bed.

smart enough ti open a locked door lol

My dog is so smart.It is trained.It can even open the doors of the house also!~!~!.......

he is smart enough to get things his way
