Excuse me, Budweiser? I'll be impressed when it can bring a St. Pauli Girl.

Can he put down a toilet seat?

Can someone tell me how they manage to eat a piece of cheese without alerting their dogs? My lab can be completely asleep in my living room. I'll sneak into the kitchen, start to quietly unwrap a piece of cheese, and suddenly she's standing behind me in full alert mode. I thought it was great that this dog shut the fridge door. I know some teenagers that wouldn't think of doing that.

NC -- they apparently have Ultrasonic Cheese Radar. They can hear the wrapper crinkle on Mars.

But can the dog find Timmy in the well?

I taught my Lab to bring me a beer once. Then I rewarded him with a sip after he successfully brought it. The next time he raced upstairs with the beer for himself.

It's just modifying its natural canine instincts.

Betsy, and put clothes in the hamper?
Nurse! My dogs have cheese wrapper radar as well. I have to spell treat in front of them.

Cheese radar is activated when the fridge door is opened. It's impossible to open a cheese wrapper in silence, plus olfactory radar also has been activated. If cheese sounds and scents don't happen, the dog goes back to sleep unless I unwrap a piece of salmon.
It's great that dog learned to fetch a beer and close the fridge door, but I hope the meat compartment is out of reach.

This dog is already more trainable than my teenage son, and whines less.
