Ha, this dog is too clever & too bossy by half! Earlier today, Flynn apparently decided it was past time to go out for a walk (& being let in the garden just wasn't good enough). When I didn't immediately drop everything in response to him whining at me, Flynn wandered off... but he was back a moment later... carrying my shoe! He shoved it directly into my hands & then marched off & got the other shoe & gave me that one too.

Subtle? No!

Effective? Yes!

10 minutes later, we were off on Flynn's walk.

#I have never taught or encouraged Flynn to retrieve my footwear #but Flynn watches me intensely whenever I am getting ready to go out #he knows I put shoes on before going for a walk #so err... yeah I guess he just decided he'd hurry me up by bringing them to me #probably I shouldn't have rewarded him by doing what he wanted & going for a walk right away #because now the tactic worked once he is very likely to do it again!#but how could I say no?#border collie #dog
