My Dog Trains Me

[omnipoodle]

Training works both ways.  :)  Recently for some reason I have had cause to let Faith outside to potty when we're running late for class or something.  This has happened several times.  She is a very convenient dog in that she doesn't feel the need to poop sixteen times at a new place (like Joey), but because I don't love carrying excrement around

Oh, lordy, life with a smart dog is hard! That second one, especially, makes me laugh. I think you just need to get a new garbage can that's harder to open.

I could get a combination lock for the trash can, but I think she'd still figure out a way to outwit me. I sometimes make fun of my mom's dog Kiwi for being dumber than dirt, but you know? There is something to be said for a non-imaginative dog!

It's the classic trainer joke: The student brags to the instructor, "I have such a smart dog!" And the instructor replies, "I'm sorry."

It's true.

Love the trash can training. Hahahhahaha our dogs are too damned smart for us.

[omnipoodle]

They really are; it's a little embarrassing. :)

That's adorable, and somewhat amazing. My dog trains me too!

[omnipoodle]

At least they keep us on our toes!

Oh Faith is so good! Ein definitely is a multi-pooper, and always on our walk rather than at home!

And I love how smart Faith is, the fact she entertains herself is charming!

That is the way Joey is; I swear he just saves all his poop for when he's away from home. Maybe it's a boy dog thing.

Haha, I need to embrace your viewpoint and remember that Faith is charming, not annoying! ;)
