PUPPY TRICKS or just the usual?

YES, Bob is smart - as are all dogs. BUT YOU NOW... you Mrs Dogtrainer Person, you are D-U-M-B, Dumb as a Doornail! Just kidding, I know what you are saying. I guess she just meant like, "is Bob unusually intelligent"?

But thanks for the input. Bob is reading this now and he says to thank you too!!!

Just curious... where is Bob going for obedience training?

Hi Dixieland,

How's Dixie by the way. Any new word on the lump in her mouth or her white blood cell count???

Just a local PetCo who offers classes taught by an associate trainer. 6 weeks starting next month. Any suggestions what to look for?

I would say he's a puppy genius!!!!

All dogs are smart. That was a dumb question. LOL... Bob sounds really smart!! Sam is 7 months old and he doesn't know any commands at all! *my fault*

Thanks for asking but we won't have any update on Dixie until next week. She has another blood test done on Monday.

Local PetCo stores are ok if you are lucky enough to end up with a good trainer. As to what to look for.... someone who uses positive training methods and no harsh corrections such as pops using a choke chain. I personally find clicker training the best method. BTW.... Bob just keeps on getting cuter everytime I see a new picture of him!
