That is so cute, I bet Eddie loves to play. The way he looks at you to lift the cup is adorable. Great way to keep him busy and challenged. I may have to try it with Lizzy to see what she would do.

Ha, thanks. He loves it. Eddie has a secret for his perfect accuracy, though. He's taking nose work classes and has learned how to identify the scent of birch oil. I have a Q-tip with birch odor on it taped to the inside of one cup and vent holes in the top.

But I would think any dog could do it just as accurately if you hid a treat in the cup.

That is awesome! Looks so much fun, I think I am going to have to do this with Jackson. What a great way to keep their mind occupied!

CouversMom · 10-27-2010, 05:20 PM

Eddie sure is smart

alaskayorkie · 10-27-2010, 05:27 PM

Thanks, you guys. Come to think of it, I would think any dog could do it with perfect accuracy with a familiar toy under the cup and vent holes in the top. That's exactly how they start us out in nose work. Either a treat or a toy hidden in a box. Once they get that down, we switch to the odors.

If I did that with my dogs, they would run off with all the cups!

I just have to say it again! I LOVES me some Eddie!

alaskayorkie · 10-27-2010, 06:42 PM

LOL, Luvla, let me know if you ever visit Alaska. I will have to HIDE Eddie!

snoopy42 · 10-28-2010, 04:17 PM

Eddie never ceases to amaze me. Keep the videos coming. They make me smile, and I can't go too long without seeing an Eddie or Jilly video, or I get cranky.

haha nothing keeps a yorkie from his ball or toy. NOTHING!

JMuedog · 10-28-2010, 06:52 PM

So adorable!!!

BanditSocks2 · 10-28-2010, 06:57 PM

That's a great game!!! We're going to have to try it! Eddie is a smart cookie

alaskayorkie · 10-28-2010, 09:00 PM

Thanks, you guys

Eddie does tricks at his therapy visits, and I'm thinking this will be a good one. It can be done in a small space.

Eddie, you are a smartie!
