LESSON 20
The cleverest dog in the world


Sharon Robinson: Some examples of her tricks are knowing her numbers from one to a hundred, adding, subtracting, multiplying. She knows the days of the week, the months of the year, the alphabet. Chanda can do all of the above reading it from cue cards.

When we do a show, we put her on a spot, we tell her to stay there until she hears the answer. When she hears the answer, she's to come and get a treat. We ask someone in the audience to do the counting for us, and that way she's not getting any cues or any signals from me, she's just listening to somebody counting off, and then she comes to me when she hears the right answer.

She does all the regular dog tricks like lie down, roll over, shake hands, bark. She picks up all her toys and puts them away in the toy box. In the event of a hostage situation, and provided she's not a hostage herself, she can untie us. She can untie knots.

Chanda does not do anything for free, Chanda does everything because I give her a treat. OK, Chanda, I want you to play the piano. Hit the red light!
