[QUOTE="donna723, post: 458157, member: 1883"] Mine amaze me all the time with how human-like some of their actions are! They're like bratty little kids! Trace, my little boy Boston, will always go in his crate when I ask him to. But he always makes me tell him exactly [U]three times[/U] to get in before he actually does it. If it wasn't so funny, it would be really annoying! I hold his door open and call him ... "Trace"! And he immediately starts looking all around the room, avoiding eye contact, busy studying the ceiling. I call him again ... "Trace"! He continues to study the ceiling, examine his toenails, more eye rolling ... I finally raise my voice ... [B]"TRACE"! [/B]And he will look at me with faked surprise like, "Who, me? Were you talking to [U]me[/U]?" And just because I can't resist it, I always tell him, "No, not you. The OTHER Trace"! I tell him, "Come on!" and he hops right up and runs in to his crate! It's his little game and he never tires of it. My Katy is one of the smartest dogs I've ever had. She understands every single word I say to her! She is extremely toy-motivated and always has one favorite that nobody else is allowed to play with. If it goes under the furniture and she needs help getting it out, I ask her "Where is it?" and she will get down and show me with her head exactly where it is. She knows what we call the different rooms in the house. If she loses track of her toy, I can tell her, "It's in the dining room" and she will run straight in to the dining room and look for it!
