My Lab is a great dog. For ages I have taken things like sweaters and such from the thrift store dumpster and cut chunks of it off and then hide the sweater and then come back and showed her what I had left and said search. This is just a game to keep her mind active. She has always kind of found the object. Recently she has started finding it all of the time. Today after work I gave her my house mates sock and told her to search, we did it on a 10 ft leash. She barked at the door and she actually smelled her way to the coffee shop where my house mate was at work. I freaked our and she got to play ball on the sidewalk there. I was super impressed. It seems at age two she is becoming such a Dog now that has skills.
That's so cool We're going to take our dog [a cocker spaniel] along to classes, can't wait til he learns some more cool things to do.
