DOG MIND GAMES

After your humans give you a bath, DON'T LET THEM TOWEL DRY YOU! Instead, run to their bed, jump up, and dry yourself off on the sheets. This is especially good if it's right before your humans' bedtime.

Act like a convicted criminal. When the humans come home, put your ears back, tail between your legs, chin down, and act as if you have done something really bad. Then, watch as the humans frantically search the house for the damage they think you have caused. (Note: This only works when you have done absolutely nothing wrong.)

Let the humans teach you a brand new trick. Learn it perfectly. When the humans try to demonstrate it to someone else, stare blankly back at the humans. Pretend you have no idea what they're talking about.

Make your humans be patient. When you go outside to go "potty", sniff around the entire yard as your humans wait. Act as if the spot you choose to go potty will ultimately decide the fate of the earth.

When your human calls you to come back in, always take your time. Walk as slowly as possible back to the door.

Make your own rules. Don't always bring back the stick when playing fetch with the humans. Make them go and chase it once in a while.

Wake up twenty minutes before the alarm clock is set to go off, and make the humans take you out for your morning potty. As soon as you get back inside, fall asleep. (Since humans can rarely fall back asleep after going outside, this will drive them nuts!)

Sounds like you personally trained my dog, especially the part about taking forever to pick the spot where he chooses to go potty. I think he knows I have to go to work after I walk him and he's silently mocking me. :twitch:

I've had this on my refrigerator for a couple of years.

My pet must have learned from the same doggie Jedi master as yours.
