Admitting Defeat

Holmeshx2 · 10-19-2011, 11:03 PM

I'm convinced with these smart dogs that sometimes you just have to admit defeat and learn to move on. I was doing obedience with Jinx and was opening drawers and cabinets for her to shut. She was doing great and then when I picked up the speed I kind of lost focused and opened the cabinet with the milk bone box she came running full speed grabbed one out of the box and ran to the living room to eat it

Completely my fault and at that point I figured I could spaz run in and take the bone back but figured I would just gracefully accept my defeat and respect the shepherd intelligence lol

I love my girl and all her little mind has in store for me in this crazy journey together. Now she's laying next to me and seems to be rather pleased with herself and I'm stuck with nothing to do but complain to you all who can understand you have to be on your game or risk being outsmarted lol.

Better consider moving the milk bones!!! She knows how to close the drawers.... wait til she's opening them!!!!!! HAHA... too funny!

Holmeshx2 · 10-20-2011, 01:06 AM

She actually can open them but she only does it when I ask her to she will sit by the cabinet whining until I open it and let her get one. Normally even if I leave the cabinet open she wont get one she will sit there whining and looks at me and then back at the box until I say ok then she can get her own however apparently tonight she decided to have different plans which is why I'm not freaking out about it too much she's great like 99% of the time this time she decided to do her own thing and instead of freaking I'm just gonna laugh it off and then go back to training.

lol she apparently thought she deserved a treat for her hard work of closing drawers!
