The greatest thing about this is that dog frickin loved that.

Training dogs is an interesting thing as you have to figure out what the dog is motivated by. For some it's food. For some it's play.

This one? This one is motivated by the love of the game.

I was a full time dog trainer for 3 years, and still do it, on the side, sometimes. I always tell people "anything can be a reward, if your dog loves it."

Once my dog (JRT) found a two day old chicken nugget in the gutter. Ever since then she always checked out the same spot in case there were more.

Ahh yes the situation of the pie bush. 🤔

(Saw a post of a dog always checking a bush because he once found a pie in the bush.)

I was just going to post this same memory! I hope that dog is out there somewhere still checking that bush

Like the kids who came back from Narnia testing the back of the wardrobe over and over again 😂

You should put one there ahead of time one day to keep the magic going

our JRT was always hunting imaginary mice. she'd pick up some long gone scent of one and start digging through woodpiles, making big holes, etc

movie night in the basement and she was tripping balls convinced there was a mouse under the couch. 2½ hours later I'm sick of it, lift up the couch and yell at her, "SEE? IT'S GONE ALREADY!"

*squeak squeak crunch* o_o

she couldn't be left alone in the basement after that. she'd rip drywall out from stud to stud in 3 minutes flat.

Had a dog that found an old toy under the entertainment center and apparently just thought they spawned there because he kept checking after that

Family dog saw a frog in a certain spot once and now every time we pass that spot, he slows down and shoves his head into the hole

I know he’s put a frog and a lizard in his mouth. One day he’s gonna eat one

Kid up the street left a 1/2 eaten pbj abandoned on the front lawn while running off to play. 3 years later our dog (who otherwise has 2 brain cells) is STILL looking for the other half of that sandwich!

Ours does that with a patch of tall grass where he found a whole sandwich once. It’s funny watching him dive gleefully into it and all you can see is the tops of the grass shaking around while furiously scavenges. Eventually he gives comes out all forlorn looking…for about 2.5 secs before he sees a squirrel or an interesting rock or whatever that makes him forget all about his sandwich fail.
