Have you guys ever simply said, "This dog is NOT smart!" and really meant it?
I've never said it before today. My friends dog, Bella (same mom as Art who is a genius dog I swear! And Bear, who is also pretty smart. The mom is very smart as well! lol) I've been helping them train Bella for about 6 months now. They have been working really hard with her to get her to do some basic commands and finally, after 6 MONTHS of a lot of work from them and me, Bella has finally fully grasped the concept of sit and lay down! :yikes: :rofl1:
HAHAH! I'm serious, she is not a smart dog! lol She constantly has a "duh" look on her face, wants nothing more than to sit in your lap or just wiggle and run. Don't get me wrong, she's the cutest dog ever, but she is just sooooo ... not smart. lol :rofl1:
I feel bad for even saying that, but maybe I'm just spoiled with Art who knew a ton of tricks by the time he was 6 months, and at almost two years old, continues to pick up tricks in a few sessions.
Bear was a quick learner too, she learned differently from Art and isn't quiet as fast to pick things up, but she's super smart.
Their mom, Sophie, from the little time I had her (a few months) and absolutely NO training at all, she learned to close doors by herself, she learned sit, stay, lay down, and come reliably, and shake pretty reliably. And that's at 6years or so.
I can only think Bella's father wasn't a bright bulb. lol!
