My husband & I have a border collie named Holly. She’s extremely intelligent & amazes me everyday. When it comes to teaching her tricks she is an extremely quick learner. We love her so much. 🙂

That was some commitment on your part. Shadow the dog trainer must have thought you were the most stubborn humans a dog could ever train.

And it works!

A long time ago, she realized that if I’m relaxing with my feet up while using the laptop there’s still a way to get me to play with her by bringing a toy to my feet. Yep, it’s kind of weird that sometimes she would rather play with people’s feet, haha.

I don’t know what’s smarter–that Smokey tapped her paws to wake you up. Or that she knew when it was 8:30?

Smart girl.

Wait. When are dogs NOT doing something cute or clever?

Heck, Harley has even trained you to be his publicist. Now that is a gifted trainer! 🙂

Yeah, Honey’s tried to pull that one with us too.

I agree that it falls under the “annoying but funny” category of dog behavior. And it sounds like Zach is a gifted trainer.
