Hey, your Golden was trying to "De-Cheat" you -- she just didn't have an E-Collar handy!

That reminds me of when our little Blue Point Siamese mama cat toilet-trained her kittens by the lecture-demonstration method. Hilarious!

Oh she was an accomplished people trainer. That dog had her people doing what she wanted. Wasn't my dog so I just enjoyed her precociousness.

Now THAT is a good cat!

My dad worked with a guy in New Zealand whose family raised sheep with Australian Shepherds. The dogs were so well trained by instinct and the originally applied training that they didn't even train new pups or dogs; they did what the other dogs did - and that was to unlatch the gate and take the sheep out in the morning, keep them together, then take them back in at night and close the gate latch.

I wondered what the humans did other than feed the dogs and sheer the sheep. Didn't even have to be there to open the gate. That always impressed me.
