A personal facebook memory popped up for Heather this week from years ago. We humans have advanced ways to communicate and sometimes we miss what animals understand/remember. Trying to be better at listening or explaining things in a way to aid understanding with either animals or our human counterparts is the training goal.

from August 2017.
"A cool end to my day.....I have a friend's dog staying with me this week. He is here maybe once a year, he certainly has not been here since last August. In a previous visit (I am thinking not last year but maybe the previous) I played a game once or twice (so maybe 20 or 25 treats) shaping him to put his feet inside a rubber ring that I have in the toy box. He brought me the ring tonight and we played the game for chicken hearts. Not sure where He found it. I am assuming it was at the bottom of the toybox in the dining room.".
... the world lost this pooch in June. RIP Kava. Thanks for showing the world your brilliance.
