Maybe you can even train her to talk, like Mishka <br /><br />Here's the link at youtube if you haven't already seen it.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRw-lfXy_tQ <br /><br /><br />But I wouldn't want to try it on Happy though (not that I could!). I may have a problem getting her to keep quiet after that LOL.

When Paul asks her "where's Hsin-Yi?"- she just looks at him blankly! :-) I think I'd settle for Honey bringing any of her toys if I say the word "toy" - never mind naming specific toys and adding an descriptor too! <br /><br />But good luck with your training! :-)<br />Hsin-YiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116997529248428606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179993983134824252.post-86590462431961027982011-01-27T05:59:25.864+11:002011-01-27T05:59:25.864+11:00Have you tried the match game??

All you have to do is buy a duplicate of a toy you already have and start showing her the toy you want to match. It's a lot of fun watching their brains figure out what you want!Jess the Dog Shopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907535355059493764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179993983134824252.post-12944228547006207582011-01-26T13:11:33.801+11:002011-01-26T13:11:33.801+11:00Very cool!

We've been lazy, and hearing that children get a good vocabulary by just listening to words, we've been leaving NPR on for the dogs every day.
