Bailey will drop her toys behind the couch and then cry bloody murder because she can't get it back. I have to move the couch back from the wall and save her poor trapped toy. When I give it back to her she spins in circles and licks my hands to say thankyou. Then she grabs the toy and runs and drops it behind the couch again! She does this over and over until I pull my hair out and throw the toy outside. Then she cries bloody murder because I threw her toy outside for an hour.
Now, she either 1.) is having a not so smart moment and truly dosn't understand that if she drops the toy behind there she can't get it back or 2.) knows excatly what she is doing and just loves watching me get frusterated and pull my hair out.
Her rocket scientist side is the fact that she will get up on her hind legs and push the dining table chairs ( which are on wheels ) around the house so she can use them to climb up on the kitchen counters, book shelves, washing machine....etc, to look for food and toys that I took away from her ( for putting them behind the couch!!!!!). When I leave the house I have to push all of the chairs into the hall way and put a baby gate up to keep her away from them. Now what I'm wondering is how can a dog do something as smart as this but still not understand how to heel after two years of training? Perhaps thats another rocket scientist moment too?
