When we first started this go for rides thing,it was the jingling of keys that cued her.Then when we started this marathon hiking action,it was a visual cue,first the leash,then shorts and a cap,then the grenade bag.Then it was indirect verbal cues.
Lately it's been the putting on of the bandanna...Which is removed until the next adventure.She snapped to that in a hurry.I'm thinking I should work on color codes next.You know...blue bandanna = Bull creek,white=Turkey creek etc...
Would it be the shades of gray dogs see?Or maybe the individual smells of the different bandannas?Could she be that smart?
I think maybe yes.
