| I was surfing the other nite- I got on an assistance dog site, and was so surprised to watch a video where they were teaching PUPPIES to read! I know adult dogs can be taught to read commands, but this was about a 3 month old yellow lab. He read 'sit', 'lie down'. Pretty smart I think, when I am still teaching housebreaking at this age usually!
Anybody know of any other sites/places where I can see more about this? I couldn't Google anything else. Thanks |

| I saw an article about this in the Whole Dog Journal, it explained how to train it: http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/issues/9_10/features/Dog_Training_158 49-1.html The founder of that assistance dog org. also has a book out called "Teach Your Dog to Read". |
