Yeah, I know . . . mostly this is a hunting dog forum. Ginger is a service dog and doesn't hunt. I don't hunt . . . but she fetches and catches.

-- She also introduces me to any woman I'm interested in meeting.

I have a colleague with a Brittany who hunts with a Harris' Hawk. "Sadie" is on voice command control that is amazing to watch.

I have a friend in Louisiana who is training tracker dogs, and dead body search dogs. She's got the tracker fetching tossed balls by color.

My grandmother, 50 yrs ago trained "Shag" -- a mopsie mutt to say, "hubba, hubba, hubba" plain as day.

Getting a beer out of the fridge is easy to teach.

-- Any "tricks" ???

My Beagle mix will be 17 this January, He poops, eats and sleep. At his age, being blind and deaf, I would imagine any one of those is a trick.

My standard poodle will go and get a tissue for you if you sneeze. I didn't teach her to do that. Is that still a trick?
