OK, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! We all LOVE, ADORE, and WORSHIP our dogs! Sit, stay etc may just be obedience commands but I sure know a lot of dog owners that never attempt to get to that point. They may not be "tricks" but they are accomplishments! I'm sure my dog is not as "brillant" as a lot of yours by doing tricks, but getting him to stay in a stay down position during dinner is our kind of trick! I think it's fantastic and awesome that your dogs can do all those incredible things and I don't begrudge any of you, but the fact that Cody runs to get help when my dad has a fall, is the greatest feat to us!! This is a fun website and we learn from each other and are entitled to our opinions. Let's keep this funny, fun, informative and friendly.
