Simple Dog

A long time ago, I saw this post about the blogger's attempt to prove her dog was not simple minded by performing some tests. I have always thought the post was hilarious...until we got our own dog. =P So, after many frustrating moments of Thor not listening, we decided to do the same tests for him as Allie did for her simple dog.

What we found is that Thor can manage the tests of getting out from under the blanket, and he always knows how to get his treat. So, we were relatively confident that Thor was not a simple minded dog. That is until we saw him do this.

We have been continually entertained by him chasing his tail! He goes for a good while and then stops only because he is dizzy. So he stumbles around for a minute or two and then starts up again. It is so funny.

It's nice to have something to explain some of the difficulties in training our dog. He is slowly getting it, and he is truly learning. I'm just thankful we didn't have as many issues as Allie did. At least Thor does know how to use stairs. :P
