My boxer can recognize F-O-O-D, B-O-X-E-R, W-A-L-K, D-O-G, O-U-T and probably a few others I have forgotten.
I started to spell when he started to recognize the words and freak out and jump around. Now he recognizes the spelling!! LOL

Yup - we don't dare say the "W" word or spell it. We have resorted to hand gestures. You know.....the two fingers walking....

Yep, we use to say R's for rabbits or S's for squirrels. Now they know. They know McDonalds/Mickey D's or the cone place.

Angel just goes crazy over "walk in the woods". Now she know W's.

Tonight I asked hubby to trim their nails. They knew. They got very little. Angle hid her feet.

If I am looking at something and say, "would you look at this"? Bear will come look.

LOL don't feel bad, my lab is not the brighest bulb in the box. I love her dearly but she is not smart. She can catch a mean frisbee but thats the extent of her abilities lol. I did have a rottweiler that could open doors. We figured it out when we came one day and all the dogs were in the backyard and we knew we hadnt left them out. HE DID! lol
