Dog Potential Unleashed

It is probably more impressive and certainly gets more views to show a dog mimicking a person than to show a person copying a dog. However, Elisabeth Weiss asked if I ever mimicked my dogs, and I do, although usually not quite like this.
Anyhow, I thought it would be fun, for Know Me’s birthday, to have an inside out lesson, in which he led me in activities.
He had great fun deciding what we were going to do.
We do quite a bit of table stuff with props, some of which is on the video, and also quite a bit of noise making, of which I included a small clip. He made big and small sounds very deliberately and also did a little bit of head shaking for me to copy.
All in all, a lot of fun.

I teach my dogs through conversations. It feels weird and anthropomorphic to say things like that, but the more we engage our dog’s mind and encourage them to share in the learning process, the easier it is to develop teamwork and create an environment in which we can teach our dog amazing skills.
