Dogs are smart as heck. Everybody knows that. Whoever thought of calling someone a dumb dog, didn't really know many dogs. If you're a dog person, then you know. There are some dogs that love to learn SO much, that you don't even have to teach them. Like a German Shepard below who taught himself the command "Go around me" because he saw it gave him an advantage at getting the ball before the other dogs during fetch. Or the sweet golden boy who realize when his mom said she was looking for spiders, he too can look for spiders and then either get a treat for finding the spider, or the spider is the treat… Either way, when you and your dog have a bond, you end up teaching them things you didn't even mean to. Yes, some of those can be annoying things, like jumping up on someone to say hi. But don't forget all the good things you accidentally teach them, like to fetch you the pen you just accidentally dropped or something. Someone on TikTok posed the question asking dog owners to share the accidentally training trick and boy have people got some good ones!
