So, the Lab has been sleeping all morning as I go about the house and piddle around. The instant that I pull the camo pants off the rack in the closet she is standing beside me...

I want to know the OB opinions. I think my dog and previous dogs are somewhat psychic. Anyone else have a dog that knows when they are about to go do something fun?

maybe they are hearing you say what you're about to do and recognize the words associated.

Our terrier knows our walking shoes from our work shoes. Knows my wife's walking pants.

If she sees me hook up to the camper, she goes nuts.

There is no doubt about it. Try this as I did many years ago. It worked then and has worked on every dog since.

While sitting in the easy chair start paying attention to your dog when you get up. If you are headed to the kitchen or outside the dog will rise with you. If you are just getting up to grab a book or go to the restroom the dog might look at you but they know there is no need in them standing up.

If I stop, my lab runs into the back of my leg. All day, every day. He doesn't want to miss anything.

Ours knows when it's fishing time when she hears me open up my shed where I keep my rods.

No doubt about it. Mine really starts freaking when she sees me grab her collar, at that point she really knows it's time.

Side question I was wondering about yesterday. Why do they hate when you blow in there nose, but will hang there head out the window doing 55 down the highway?

My old lab used to go sit by my boots whenever he saw me put my hat on.

My terrier/dachshund mixed pup is only about9 months old, and he already runs to the back door when I ask if he wants to go outside, and of course he comes running when he hears me fiddling with his bag of food.

My lab knows when we get close to the camp. I can drive her around town all day and she will sleep the whole time. When we get 10 minutes from the camp (no matter which route i take) she jumps up and gets excited.

My beagles howl when I hook my dog trailer to my truck.
