Shakti Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Hi all, I had my dogs at an offleash dog park this evening just going on dusk and somehow lost my car keys. The sun was setting and I was beginning to panic knowing the likely cost of having new keys made and programmed etc . I had crisscrossed the entire soccer oval fruitlessly when I I told my four year old Newfie to find the keys.....and he did! We have often practiced him finding a dropped leash or bag etc but never with car keys - I am so rapt and so proud of my clever, good boy!!

Guest Wildthing Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 You just never know when all the training you do will come in useful! Congratulations on the good work. Wish I could train the cats to do that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VizslaMomma Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I trust large raw bones for a week will be the reward? Great news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfect partners Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Well done - your Newfie for finding the keys and you for training him. Newfs are awesome! I may be a little biased as I have two and have had two previously. I see you are in Victoria - are you a member of the Vic Newf Club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakti Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Thank you all for your kind comments - he has certainly been enjoying one or two extra treats this week! I love training with my dog and it is astounding to me how many owners don't teach even the basics to their dogs. It makes the bond with your dog so much stronger and hey, it may even come in useful in *the real world! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
