I even tried to take a bit of video of her with it, assuming she'd go back to it after she had chased the cone, but nope. No further interest.
Who wants deer leg when you can have ROCKS . Have to admit you think you know your dogs then they prove you wrong . I wonder though whether because you pretty much ignored Willow with the deer leg that the value was reduced while that of rocks is high because you react straight away with the drop.
Maybe. I don't know. Do dogs really think like that? It's not as if I get all panicky and squeaky (aka FUN!) with the rocks. I just tell them to drop or leave, depending on whether it's in their mouth already, (now) pick it up and we're on our merry way. I could understand if I was chasing them for the rocks etc.
Don't know but I think we often don't credit them enough with powers for working things out and their powers to learn
