BlueWolf Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Does anyone else do this with their dogs? Putting a treat quietly in front of their nose while they're asleep and watch how long it'll take them to wake up from the smell until they realise there is something edible is in front of them and start eating it. My current 'score' is 15 minutes. I secretly enjoy doing this Haven't got any complains from the dogs either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 No, I never have! But that seems like a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBELHOWLUC49 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 No but I will try it now. Bella woke up immediately. Howler moved about and is currently laying on it. Noah is upstairs but he wakes up the moment you walk in the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I would fail miserably at that as soon as i move they follow me lol How's Ruth doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Mine also won't do it....no matter how asleep they are they always leap up when I go into the kitchen and start rustling around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueWolf Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Sleeping with her eyes open. Hasn't noticed it yet, lol Wodak is standing behind her, staring at it intensively as he doesn't dare grabbing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I would fail miserably at that as soon as i move they follow me lol How's Ruth doing? Much better. Managed to contact today. The meds are kicking in and she's doing much better although still very tired. We hope she can come back home on Friday. She's quite lucky to be alive. All she thought was that she had a bad case of the flu And that's why you visit the docter when not feeling well even when you think you have it in control!

Sarah Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 aww glad she's picking up, tell her me and the woofs said get well soon - maybe you should send some husky fur into hospital for her to put in her food and drinks so that she's still getting her daily dose lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qweasd Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 My record with Sky was over an hour whilst I was driving him home from an HO walk. He was awake when the treat was put in front of him. He left it in the car when we got home. Treats aren't very useful for training him.

BlueWolf Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 If they wake up immediately you can always move it slightly further from time every time you try until you have found the maximum distance for them to notice it, lol.

Loripot Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 That sounds like fun. I have a new pup and will be sure to try with him. He's a little silly. He barely notices a treat right in front of him when he's awake, never mind asleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDogLove Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I wish I could try this with mine too, but they wake up if I even move my hand to touch the remote! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBELHOWLUC49 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) What about lucky ? Lucky was not here when this thread was started, but will try him. I will do it now and see how long. Mind you the moment I open the fridge they appear like magic. Not even a second, both of them woke up and sniffed it out. Howler then got up and went to Lucky;s bed to see if he had any left. They are both getting so big.
