Now Mr. Baxter...well...he was with us about ten days when he 'learned' to open the lid of the kitchen trash can and partake of all the goodies hidden there. And he 'looks' around the corner to see if we are watching him! And he's broken the springy thingy that makes it pop. (Baxter is about 75 lbs...but also a terrier mix...go figure). We have to 'baby gate' the bathrooms because nothing is as refreshing as a drink from the commode...
So I think the doggie that doesn't knock over the can covering the treat is smart too...its just thinking...that could one of those lamp things...and I'm gonna get yelled at. :)PaMom
This test is predicated on the dog wanting the food. My wife had a dog that would have failed the test completely, food just didn’t interest him much.
Now put a female dog in the equation, different story altogether.
You'll need a very big can for test #1.
I think you’ll enjoy this.
That can test is nothing. Try keeping a smart dog separated from food...
We had to keep food away from my late dog, since he would eat everything in the house. Before we settled on a padlocked metal can, his food was placed on top of the fridge.
This dog pushed a kitchen chair up to the refrigerator, climbed up, got the bag of food, climbed down and -— PUSHED THE CHAIR BACK TO THE TABLE!!! Then he tried to eat five pounds of dog chow.
I just knew you would be here but you shocked me when I saw you drug Norm into this. Dolly the Canine just took her slave for a brisk one hour walk...
