SUPER ELITE UPPER TIER
We have two corgis. A 2 year old female named Charlotte. And an 8 month old male named Chase. Charlotte is one of the smartest dogs I know. I taught her how to high five in about an hour. Although, I kind of regret that because now anytime she wants what you're eating, she's constantly trying to give high fives. And instead of being like, "Don't leave me hanging, bro!", she'll eventually start to high five your face until you acknowledge her. She's also great at catching things. I can take a piece of food and flick it off my plate like a Nolan Ryan heater, and she'll snag it out of the air from a foot away. It's crazy. I've intentionally tried to see if I could get it past her, and she can almost always snag it. Her mouth/eye coordination is off the charts. And her favorite activity is playing tug o war. We grab a toy and she'll use her whole body to generate so much power. I mean, she's like 18 pounds, but could probably pull a fire engine like Magnus ver Magnusson. Friends and family come over and she'll bring the toy over in her mouth and growl at them and they'd be like, "Ohh, little puppy wants to play with the toy?" I tell them that she's stronger than she looks and they laugh only to have the toy ripped out of their hands. It's impressive.
Then we have Chase. So stupid. I love him, but he's a moron. I throw him some food and it hits him in the face. The other day, I tossed him some cupcake icing and it landed in between his eyes and stuck. He proceeded to walk around in circles trying to bite the air. Finally, Charlotte came over and ate it off his face. He knows no tricks and really only recognizes his name. She's tried to teach him tug o war, but he's to busy trying to eat the toy than to pull on it. Although, she has had a lot of patience and it seems like she's finally starting to make some headway. It truly is amazing to see how she takes her time with him trying to get him to understand the game.
But my favorite thing is when we go to eat dinner or some food. She sees me with a plate and will go grab a toy that they both fight over and squeak it away from me. He then runs over, she pretends to struggle with him, then lets him win. At that point, she runs over to me with the food while he's occupied with the toy. She's evil smart.
Anyway, no real big finish to this story. But would love to hear about other smart/dumb dog stories if you got them. I'm working a half day today and I'm bored.
