A Mind Reading Dog?
08 Oct 2008
Something strange happened to me today.
I was sitting in the livingroom, drinking some coffee and reading my book. Molly, my Golden Retriever was dozing on the floor next to my feet.
Then I had this thought popping up in my head. “Maybe it’s time to take Molly out for a walk…”
I swear I didn’t make even the tiniest movement that could have stirred her doze - not a muscle! But the dog instantly turns towards me with an intense expression in her face. And when I got up from the coach, Molly runs straight to the front door. There she sits down and waits for me to take her out.
Maybe it was all just coincidence, I cant say. But it was a little spooky.
A lot of things can happen between you and your dog. Most of them fun and pleasant. So feel very welcome to Dog Training Nuggets Blog! Come with me on my journey to the secrets of living with dogs.

I live in australia and I used to own a chocolate coloured Kelpy dog.
I lived in the foot hills on an unfenced property in amoungst other houses. I had some incrediable experiences with my dog on this topic.
I remember once working on a coffee table in my shed and did not have a good tape measure and I made a mental note to get one sometime. Within a couple of days of this I found a tape measure by my front door with my dogs little teeth marks in one corner. Not long after this I was watering my pot plant in the kitchen which looked a little withered and made a note to get some plant food. Within a couple of days of this I found a small bottle of liquid plant food at my front door with his teeth marks on it. Then a couple of days later a little pot plant. I quite often had the morning paper there also. Once he got caught running of with a bicycle helmet, from some kids bike. they chased him back to my house, my dog then started to chew it up. I ended up having to pay for it and for one that I was planning to buy also. He also used to pinch the milk cartons and suck them dry and then chew up the evidence as I used to find them littering my yard after I wondered why he was not hungry some mornings. I know that this seems far fetched but this is what actually happened and I still find it spooky just thinking about it. Choco was a dog in a million and my only explanation was that he could read my mind.
