Old dog learns new tricks (vid) - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Rusty can be quite the goofball, but he's incredibly smart sometimes. Megan taught him a bunch of tricks, and he picks up new ones fast. Check it out.

Oh, and pay attention to the lack of snow in the video. Tomorrow, I will post another with what, so far, is 4" of new snow. If there was a bridge nearby, I'd jump off.

Good Boy Rusty! That's a smart bunch of boys you've got there, Mike

As usual, another cute video from Alaska.

I had to laugh when you posted " Guest instructor, Eddie " on the screen.

Rusty deserves an A for effort.

I had to look twice, cause I didn't see a speck of snow on the ground.

Bet you can't wait till the "S" word is totally not in your weather forecast.

Another great video...but I have to ask. I have seen this before and want to know what kind of dog treat y'all keep in your mouth. Murfee has no treats that I would store in my mouth!!!!

Good boy Rusty!

Ha ha ha. When I saw an obedience instructor do that for the first time, I was totally grossed out. She'd talk with a lisp because her mouth was full of hotdogs. I don't use hot dogs, but I use a soft wafer called a Yummy Chummie. It was gross at first, but I guess I've developed a tolerance.

The idea for storing them in your mouth is you want the dog to be focused on your face, not your hands.

The walking bridge over the highway may still be there tomorrow if this snow doesn't stop!

Great video!

Great video!

Is this nutty or what? How's Eagle River? We're looking at about a foot here in town and another foot expected.

I'd say we are looking at just shy of a foot, it is finally slowing down. We will see in the damage in the morning! I think I might go skiing!

So, I'm kind of excited.

Ha, might as well. I just took the studs off my bicycle tires yesterday, a little prematurely it seems.

akcook · 04-25-2008, 10:09 PM

I thought today would have been a great day to remove the studded tires and put on the summer ones, but my tire place was busy, who would have known?

alaskayorkie · 04-26-2008, 03:54 AM

Here's the same teeter from the video, 24 hours later.

AprilLove · 04-26-2008, 04:04 AM

Love the video! I like how Eddie is teaching Rusty the loop jump and I especially liked the cameo appearance by Jack!!

Great job Rusty!!

teri88 · 04-26-2008, 09:01 AM

Oh....you can keep that snow. I don't care how beautiful AK is I could never take all of that snow. Studs on the bike tires? Who'd a thunk it?

Great video Mike. Rusty looks so good. Glad you make him sing for his supper.

MeganS · 04-26-2008, 09:38 AM

Nicely done!! That was a really cute video.

PS - icky snow! You can keep it!
