[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Golden seems as dumb as a rock most of the time. But, he does know to jump on command, and stay(for a few seconds) and sit and lay down, and knows not to come when called unless I am holding a snack in my hand. And to wait when kids are eating in hopes of getting some food, but will not eat any food of the table or kitchen counters. Heck, he is so dumb, my DS left a burger on a living room table and it was still there when I came back from work, 8 hours later. He also can't stay still when we go to his vet, no treats will help. So really, I don't know. I tried to teach him to knock the empty bottle down for a treat and he just lays there waiting for me to give up and give him food.  [/quote]

Oh, just to add, he does go to his spot when I say "night,night." Is that smart?[/quote]

Ha.  Our golden used to "shark" around the table when the kids were younger - she would circle the table and then suddenly go for something on their plates.  She is and always has been a major, unapologetic carb-aholic.  Bagels in particular are way too tempting.  Sandwiches, rolls, pizza - all fair game.  A burger on a bun? Gone.

I only wish that I could train her to stay off the counters and tables.  My kids are bigger now and they tend to eat at our breakfast bar which is a bit above golden retriever height.  I guess she's trained us all well.[/quote]
