No. Not those balls. ;)

His tennis balls. They get dirty. So he dunks them in his water bowl. Swish's them around till clean. Then fishes them out with his paw. What a weirdo. Never had a dog do this.

Well, I was totally expecting a much different picture! 🤣

And many folks aren’t aware of just how smart some breeds are.

My son’s Queensland Heelers are scary smart. All you need do is ask or tell them something, and they’ll understand.

My daughter in-laws dog (yellow English lab) is very food driven. Bear will climb the spiral staircase at the lake because there might be food upstairs.

The other dogs just bark at the stairs because they have no idea how to climb up. I swear if bear got hold of a credit card he would order food for delivery.

I had a wirehair thst preferred crystal clear water. When hunting or away from the house he would drink out of any nasty muddy scummy stagnant puddle. But at home if there were a few specks of dirt on the bottom of his water dish he would come get you then stare at you and the bowl wanting it cleaned up.
 
My dog knows the word “Jeep” . Want to ride in the Jeep? And he is headed to the door. When he’s out chasing cats, rabbits, or squirrels and won’t come back all I do is holler let’s get in the Jeep and he’s back instantly. Needless to say we go for a ride and both of us are happy.

If I skip too many walks my hound shits in my workout room. Whole house is wide open, he just has to prove a point.

We had a black lab mix that was smart enough to open all the doors in the house that had levers. We had to swap them out for round handles so he'd stop getting into the panty. He could also scale a 7ft fence but would just run to the front door and bark, I think he just wanted to remind us at times that he could do it.

My wife's don't have handles... Am I missing out on some fun, new tech?

I've had a Choco-Lab with a pretty high vocabulary, but my little blue Weimaraner was far and away the most intelligent dog I've ever had. Knew TONS of words. Not an overly powerful chewer, but destroyed things like kongs and specialty built, heavy duty toys on the regular by finding the weakest point and continually going after it. If one of my other dogs had something she wanted, she'd come to me to get attention, which caught the attention of the other animal, who would then come over to get petted. Then, she'd quietly hop away and pick up whatever thing they had and hide it....

I have 2 dogs. The border collie pictured. And a german shephard. The gsd just buries any toys she finds. There must be 50 cow hooves and 45 tennis balls buried in the backyard. And im about to resupply. I thought of ataching a long piece of paracord to each. So when she buried them the cord would stick out from underground. And i could retrieve them.

I had a big male boxer that learned to open the side gate from watching me do it once. Years of having a piece of twine tied to it to be able to open it easier. One day he saw me do it, I shut the gate. He popped it open and followed me out front. Thinking I didn't shut it, I put him back on the inside and shut it. Pop! Out front again.

I had to remove the twine.

Current boxer likes to sit on our lounge chairs and watch the sunset. This is also his goto place if he steals toys from the kids.

BUSTED!
