So yesterday I started teaching Sue how to fetch me beers.
A couple of points:
1. Sue has been force fetched so he already knows that if I tell him to put an object in his mouth it better get in there toot sweet!
2. We were just screwin around so I wasn't being really strict about his FF manners
3. We started out with warm banquet beer cans
So up onto his crate he goes (this is where he was FF'd mostly so knows the drill). I hold the beer, tell him FETCH and bang, picked the can right outta my hand. Moved down to the crate, picked again. GOOD DOG! Set the can down upright, told him to fetch and he got it but was holding it funny and the beer slid out and rolled across the room: this is where the trouble starts.
Now, you can't let them fokkers get away with dropping stuff so I commanded FETCH and he jumped down to go get it. He picked it right up like a good dog but, like I said we were just messin around and I didn't have a lead on him so he decided that dickin with me was going to be fun and wouldn't come back up on the crate.
Now, remember he's holding a kind of slick unusual object that is fully pressurized after falling off the crate and rolling across the room. Well, let's just say about the only thing I taught the dog last night is that a shook up beer that get's punctured will immediately fill his mouth with lovely beer. Note, Sue does like beer.
I may have created a monster![]()
