When I spell car they go look on the bed to see what clothes I took out so they know if it's a walk, a doc's appt. a vet appt or just shopping...I'll go teach yours all that...
Oh they know plenty - it's just that they only respond to the "good" ones. Cookie, lunch, chicken, yum-yums, are you hungry ~~~ do you see a pattern here??? Of course it's not all food tho - wanna go ride, get the ball, time for nite-nite, etc, all get a positive response. Then there are the ignore responses: come, no barking, bath time, time for your medicine, etc. As I said - selective hearing in action........
