Dog that helps around the house

Back on crutches again after a second operation on the foot, I could use a little household help. I wish my dogs could help out a bit like this dog in the video.

I bet that most of us feel we could do with a helper like this at times.

Hope you recover soon.

Re: Dog that helps around the house

That made me laugh! What a dog. I loved the dog cleaning the windows. How adorable.

Hope your surgery went well, too!

Re: Dog that helps around the house

This is animal abuse!!! Poor dog having to get her dirty socks in his mouth...eeeeew

No kidding, hilarious. Actually my dog (black lab) comes from a helper dog family. All his brothers and sisters are either blind guiding dogs or helper dogs. He was the last one in the nest and I was looking for a working dog type lab, cause they are thinner and sportier (they come from gun dog background). Perfect match!

Re: Dog that helps around the house

You will have to get your parrot to watch the dog and learn a few tricks.

I showed that to my OH who despairs that I always leave cupboard doors open - next doggie will be trained to perform that task!

Hope that you are on the mend soon and not in too much pain....

Re: Dog that helps around the house

Mrs Doolittle, thanks for the lovely vid. Hope you´re recovering speedily and your long-eared pals are all well. I miss my little ´helper´ as she´s away doing her guiding exams at the mo´. The third pic is a seasonal tribute to your pooches.

Re: Dog that helps around the house

Absolutely brilliant!

What a fantastic little dog - and what a fantastic trainer! I am very impressed indeed.


(My guys are ... erm... not so helpful. )


Sorry to hear that you're back on crutches, Mrs D - hope that your recovery goes well this time around, and that you are soon back on your feet. Hope the bassety crew are watching that video and taking notes...

It´s funny how he makes that growly-barky noise while he performs. He´s so smart and then he goes to pee on a wall in his house - just to remind you he´s still a dog.

Re: Dog that helps around the house

Wow, what a dog, thanks for that!

I guess, it would take me longer to teach this to my dogs than to do all the jobs myself for the rest of their lives, even though they really try to be helpful by stealing my hat, abducting the cat's food bowl and other things...

I'm watching the you tube channel and I'm happy to report that jesse was trained with positive reinforcement and clicker methods.

Thanks for posting this. Makes me miss my jack at home. He wasn't quite as helpful though, but I think he always thought he was! Hope you feel better soon!
