Ingwe, Was over at the neighbors a bit ago and the wife's sister has a chocolate female, 1 year old. She says she is a hyper, chewing monster, that doesn't listen. I brought trap over. Now she wants to train her dog! !! Now, remember what you said about challenging trap's intelligence? In front of about 10 people, i asked trap to go home and get me a bumper. I have a huge head now! He took off around their house, across the yards to the side door, and came back with a bumper. We walked over and showed the sister the assortment of bumpers and duckys, so she could see he had a choice of what to get. She was just amazed at how smart he is. So it wasn't a fluke the other day. He is now about 20 months old. I pray, he and i have alot of years to go together. I just wished i had the knowledge to bring out everything he is capable of.
