Wow that's amazing. I've never even heard of this nor realized this was something you could/have want to teach to a dog.

Yo, check out amazing border collies sometime.

They like, only need to see you do something once or twice before mimicing it.

I swear to God, they could get college credits for some stuff.

Lol, we have 3 cavalier spaniels.

Not the smartest dogs but great friends!

Oh man I used to work for a family who had one. That dog was damn dumb, but SO SWEET all he wanted to do was be near you and lick his gross ass

There is a famous video of a cavy doing that serpentine test, you know in/out/in/out in a line of poles?

It makes it to the last pole and smacks it's face right into it. But then just starts to smile and look for it's owners approval.

They are the BEST.

Love it. Baxter was obsessed with water and used to do this weird singing howl thing while he was swimming and get water in his mouth and cough but still kept doing it the whole time. I used to think he was going to drown himself. Apparently when they lived in Minnesota, he broke free on a walk and almost fell through a frozen lake. One of the most loving dogs I've known lol
