Sadie –

Good, good point!

I loved the look on the face of this dog when she mentions “Barack Obama.” Too cute!

Gringo…

You old dog you – you got it!

Oddly enough, that same trick was used on the pubic with the word CHANGE and they gobbled up the message like a Pavlov dog.

That’s some good training. Notice that you didn’t have to convince him of anything, just change his behavior. Same as with humans.

Reason takes too long. It’s much more efficient to modify behavior. The carrot treat will be the same and it will be just as good.
