[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have trained him to do this. [/quote]

This. You reward your dog for picking up a thing you allege he knows he shouldn't have. It's a game, and you're losing.

Enjoy it while it's cute, I guess. Maybe consider teaching your dog better boundaries, before he gets something you value (or something dangerous to him).[/quote]

Oh FFS.  :roll: [/quote]

FFS? This isn't cute, it's dangerous to the dog. The dog isn't "so smart", he's conditioned to wait for better treats as a reward for taking things he shouldn't.

I mean, maybe OP's use of "shouldn't" is a bit weak; it's not like they seem to care what the dog takes.

For me, I prefer my dogs not take anything that isn't theirs. They're all smart enough to understand this, and I don't have to play weird "bribe me" games with them.

I see no appeal to this "trick". Since OP offered it like some sort of "is it normal for dogs to be as clever as my dog" humblebrag, I commented against it.

Take your dog for a walk, FFS. Maybe you'll feel better.[/quote]

Oh do bore off somewhere else. [/quote]

I love the antiquated, would-be-rich tone some posters take on this forum "Dooooooo bore off..."  :lol: So many pearls to clutch.

Your dog is obnoxious, like its owner. I'm glad you find it cute.[/quote]
