Tilly Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I decided to wash the dog this morning ... I washed the older boy no problems. Went to wash the younger one but he decides to play hard to get. Normally he is reluctant to get in the hydrobath but is no problems once he is in. Every time I walked towards him he would take off ... so I thought I wasn't going to play his game. I let the older boy over into the other side of the yard to roll on the grass ... and told the younger one he could only go in if he had a bath too. He looks at me seriously ... ran up and down the fence line crying and then took off. I followed him and found him sitting in the hydrobath waiting for his bath!!!! He was bathed and once he was let out ... sat at the side gate until I opened it and let him into the other side of the yard to play ... I am negotiating with a dog ...

Perry's Mum Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 If you had a Koolie you would feel outsmarted by your dog every single day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tilly Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) If you had a Koolie you would feel outsmarted by your dog every single day. :laugh: they wear you out don't they ;) My boy was only home for about a week when he learnt to open the latches on the crate ... I had to put clips on them so he didn't open the crate at night ... When he was still little we used to keep both dogs separated on either side of the yard during the day when we were not home to supervise but every afternoon when we got home both dogs were on one side of the yard. Couldn't find any holes so we thought the older boy was jumping the fence - so we extended the fence. It was only after I was home sick one day that we worked out the younger dog was opening the latch on his side of the yard and letting the older dog in so they could play. Now if they need to be separated for any reason ... I use a padlock on the gate as he hasn't worked out how to remove them yet :laugh: He can turn on the garden taps ... so they have to be turned off and the handles removed.

Guest Ams Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Lord luv him but I'm so glad he is your dog Tilly and not mine. I have enough trouble at Peiradise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuddleDuck Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Every year when we take them to the snow about 2 hours into the trip Kodiak works out how to use the button to work the electric windows in the car. We have to lock them or she spends the next 8 hours playing with them We used to live next to a couple that had a GSD they would tie up before they left for the day. Our terrier would wander over 15 minutes after the left, chew through the rope (in the middle) then pick up the end still attached to the GSD and spend the rest of the day holding the rope in his mouth and leading the GSD around the properties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the owners ever find out and come up with a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory the Doted One Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 So far Dory does crates and car doors ( which is handy when she locks you out, not so handy every other time). She is working on the window winders at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used cheaper rope to tie him up and let our dog continue to walk him every day :laugh: everyone knew but no one minded My very first dog got out one day and got picked up by the ranger at the end of our drive. Same time the next day he did the same thing. He loved going in cars and for the next few months met the ranger out the front of our place at exactly the same time to go for a ride. Thankfully we had a nice ranger who used to drop him back on his way home each day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
