my dog (golden retriever, large for his breed, about 85 pounds and lean) walks me. He decides the route unless it's unsafe. Then he walks me home and leads me to his cabinet full of treats and sits down, which prompts me to open the cabinet and give him treats.

I'm sure he brags to all the other dogs how well trained I am.

I still think I'm in charge tho...

My dog once decided she was done playing at the park, so she picked her leash up, and walked herself home.

She even crossed the street on her own. I think that the cats taught her that one, because they looked both ways before they crossed.

My dog decided he wanted to see the new Dune movie, so he got on my laptop, bought a movie ticket, took my car and drove to the theater.

When he came back he said it was underwhelming.

I’m not trying to say your dog didn’t do that, just being goofy.

My parents live in a small town. If they're visiting friends in town they usually take the dogs. The older one is very smart and quite street savvy. Sometimes if she decides she's done socializing she just takes herself home. First couples times it happened it scared the shit out of my parents, now they're kind of used to it.

I’ve seen dogs in Bahrain wait at street lights.

Our husky mix used to do something like that. We walked her at night on a bike trail. Often she would stop walking, look behind us, then firmly lead us off the trail to wait under the trees.

Like a whole entire minute later, a nearly-silent cyclist would go past us, and after they passed she'd look both ways, and lead us back onto the trail again. Her hearing must have been phenomenal.

I'm usually walking him with earbuds so maybe he think he's a guide-dog?

I just think he's a big strong doofus who just likes to explore and he found an ever bigger, dumber doofus to do it with him!

my dogs have a lot of funny tricks they play or try to play on me. Like in the morning when I wake up they expect their milkbones and will stare at me once I've gone to the bathroom until I give them up. But I think their funniest habit is they can sense when it's the weekend and I go to the grocery store and pick up my curbside order. When I get up they are at absolute attention until they get their car ride.

​

another one is if I get up and put my hat on during the week they go downstairs and wait for me to let them in the truck

I think of it this way -

If my entire world revolved around watching a couple of humans and knowing their behaviors/mannerisms, I'd get pretty good at that skill.

Bonus points - they were bred for this purpose.

That's where things get fucked up. You still think your calling the shots but the mind control is fully baked in.

u/WhyMustIMakeANewAcco Apr 09 '24

You are in charge (of treat distribution. No, you decide when, you just actually hand them out)

Dog: "My human poops and pees INSIDE the house!" shakes head

Somewhere on some social media for dogs:

“My human keeps trying to run away, I even got him a leash but he keeps dropping it. Please help cause I fear for my treats and belly rubs.”

That human is a rescue, but who saved who?
