dogs doing the house work

[Magz]

I have been researching into things to keep Kiera occupied in the house, read on a website about assistance dogs and thought that could be something to keep Kiera going in the future when I have ran out of things to teach her in the house, could get her to help me hang out the washing or collect up the dirty clothes. I was in tesco other night and decided to look at the magazines and Your dog actually had an article about it (spooky)

[marcella]

yeah Diesel loves to help with the washing ................. unfortunately he steals underwear and takes it into the back garden!

@ Marcella

I bought that magazine too, I have never bought a dog mag for ages either

Yes thats the problem, I have a 10 litre paint tub which I use as a raised feeder for the greyhound, well it sits in front of my kitchen unit, the ferret and cat crunchies live, can you imagine how hyper Pixel would get if she got into that high protien stuff

I liked the idea of learning to open and close doors though

[kendal]

i need to teach that to Inca, she is a nightmare she is always sneaking into my room after me and going to sleep not seeing i am leaving till i am gone and getting herself locked in.

Be careful what you teach
Remember dale opening the door and letting himself out when we were out. Also I got him so interested in doors that he'll use his teeth to grip a door to get it to move if he can't just paw it. Not always good for the paintwork especially if your visiting someone 's newly painted house:roll:

now if I could get the dogs to do the house work that would be bliss, just need a couple of goats for the back garden then that would be me no house work or garden to do

Does it work on men?

Actually I can't really complain - mine does all the washing and ironing. Benefits of an ex-army man, ladies.
