| How smart is your Yorkie? I lost my tv remote control & was looking for it everywhere. Well, Princess found it for me, she's so smart! Sometimes when Princess gets scared or spooked by the vaccum cleaner or thunder, she hides under the bed. I thought she got scared bc I was uncovering my bed, lifting the blankets, tossing the pillow around to look for the remote & she went under the bed. I looked down & told her not to be scared & she was lying down right next to the remote! lolllll like she was telling me 'mommy, it's right here'. I was amazed @ her intelligence...or was it just coincidence? Anyone have stories to share? Would love to hear about how smart your Yorkie is!

| He hasn't located a remote yet!! WTG Princess I'm always surprised he remembers exactly where he left his ball in the yard when it's time for the nightly game of fetch |

| Rhia is definitely intelligent. She will take my socks from me when I take them off after work and places them in front of my closet, in which I keep my hamper! She also knows the sound of the bag of cheese in the fridge compared to other packaging. It's the only one she will come for. She also knows who "meemaw and pawpaw" (my parents) are. I'll tell her we're going to "meemaw's house!" and she will freak out and get on the couch, ready to have me put her harness on her to go!

| How cute! She knew you would look down there so just stayed there till you did to show mommie where the all important remote was. Give that girl a treat and a big hug from another person who is constantly hunting for remotes!!!!

| Daisy is real smart. She knows all the different names of her toys. "The Purple Hippo", " The Racoon", The "Kunk", (that's for "skunk"), Her "birdie", etc. I can also go tell her to "get a bone" and she will. I can also go tell her to get her "blue" bone or "green bone" etc., and she will. These dogs are SMART. |

| I made a list of all the words and phrases that I could think of that Snickers knows and I came up with at least 70+. He is very smart...sometimes a little too smart. A high energy, determined dog who is smart can be a big troublemaker!

| Wow they really are smart, just this morning when I was getting ready for work, Bentley took his bone and put it under the bed, and started to bark at me looking at the bed. It took me a few minutes to realize that he was telling me to get his bone so I got the bone from under the bed and the next thing I know he moves the bone to beside the rocking chair came over to me barking again,I got the bone and he did the same thing all over again. I finally realized that I wasn't playing fetch with him, he was playing fetch with me. LOL |

| Good girl Princess! I'm sure she did understand the word remote and knew what you were looking for. My boys understand a lot of language, too much. They always know what is going on, and I think Max can read my mind, lol.

We must have the same toys!!! All of Tyson's toys are stored in a basket by the television. If I tell him to go find a specific toy, he will dig through the toys until he finds the correct one. Also, he knows everybody's name and will go get them if I ask where that person is....Smart little guy!!! But he is soooo stubborn....he acts like he doesn't understand stay.....WTH

| Adorable! Max did this when he was a pup. He would sit in his bed in the xpen until I locked the little gate.

| That's exactly what she does . Amazed me since she hated the ex pen when we brought her home, she still doesn't like it during the day if I put her in there to mop the floors but she knows that's where she sleeps! |
