My yorkie knows where I'm going based on the pants I wear. Home/lounge pants. Dog Park pants. Work pants. He can tell and he reacts differently when I get dressed.
He knows how to turn on my TV. He taught himself how to open his treat container. I've gone through 8 different types of containers in the 4 years I've had him. He learned how to take down the baby gate I have for him, I had to buy a different kind of baby gate.
He's so smart he had me CONVINCED for the first three years of his life that he was dumber than a box of rocks. It turns out he's so smart he had me completely fooled. He would mark and pee on the carpet and in his crate at my old apartment. He would pee on my bed. I thought he was stupid. Turns out he's amazingly smart. He acted out because he hated my two roommates and would want me to stay home with him.
I taught him to shake my hand and play dead in about 10 minutes. Sometimes I think he's smarter than me!
