Way-out Willie gave them all a treat, when he did that hand jive with his feet
...just spent half an hour attempting to teach Spike to type. At the moment he's got as far as bashing the keyboard really hard with his front paws so I am using the old keyboard.
strangely enough Squish is actually a bit better at it, perhaps because when i hide the bit of corned beef under the keyboard he just nose-types, whereas Spike tries to flip the keyboard over.
*switches to own keyboard*
five minutes later: AH! Spike just made the intuitive leap!
Spike sez: g
^ ok, he isn't bashing the keyboard hard enough to make letters. But he is touching the keyboard with his nose on command now - in between the usual Spike-on-a-learning-curve activities like barking furiously at me, picking fights with Squish and dancing round the room with his food bowl in his teeth.
I love my dog.
