I was standing on the sidewalk, and gave the command my dogs know by heart--HOLD!. They skidded to a halt, and Teddy looked first at one and then the other and slid to a halt as well. He'd never heard the command before, and he's been just as good with it as they are ever since.

Of course they taught her to jump on people for hugs.

They were all herding dogs so they liked to herd everything. <br />Take care.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16571726966413507123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-30208836236613597312011-08-24T09:49:20.273-07:002011-08-24T09:49:20.273-07:00As you can imagine I see this all the time with my...As you can imagine I see this all the time with my six dogs. Some habits have been wonderful for everyone to learn, and others have taken some time to get them back under control. Even between the two packs I have seen them communicate to each other through the door or blocked fence. <br /><br />Rather interesting. But if you think about, isn't that how we all learn, by imitating good and bad behaviors?24 Paws of Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574070591449171093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-58086206000062560902011-08-24T09:17:04.298-07:002011-08-24T09:17:04.298-07:00Dogs are SO observant and smart!

One at a time (and with the other dog able to observe), each dog was given a command. The first dog was given a treat when it correctly performed the command. The second dog was NOT given a treat when it performed the command correctly. Not fair, right? Apparently, the dogs thought so, too! They did this with multiple dogs, and what they found was that the dogs who got "gypped" would no longer perform on command. In fact, they refused to even *look* at the person giving commands after awhile.meowmeowmanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513539249219283256noreply@blogger.com
