Ruin Maniac Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Don't know what to make of this one. Part of me is amazed, and the rest of me is... puzzled. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/2012/12/04/15/44/dogs-taught-to-drive-by-nz-animal-welfare-group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Crazy Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I saw this on the news last night on tele & couldn't believe it ay first. Apparently the message they are trying to convey is that rescue dogs can do anything. They taught a couple of these dogs to actually drive these modified cars by clicker training. Amazing. They were even changing the gears & Steering it. With their seat belts on of course :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salukifan Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) How cool is that? I see one dog has a good dose of Whippet in it. A driveable cart will be the next big thing in dog toys maybe. :cool: Edited December 5, 2012 by Haredown Whippets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minimax Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hmm, I wonder if I can teach my dogs to navigate ... my OH doesn't know her left and right so is useless at directions, maybe I can replace her with a pug :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Wei always wants to sit in the driver's seat, imagine the possibilities if she could really drive! She could be the dezzy driver instead of me from now on!
