Honey the Great Dane tries the test to see how well she knows her basic commands when her human is not standing and giving them in the usual way… (*Dogs do not generalise – they learn each command only associated with specific cues such as position, place, tone ot voice, etc, and when any of these change, they have to ‘re-learn’ the command in the new setting. You cannot really say your dog is “trained” until they can reliably perform the same command in a number of different settings & contexts, with you in different positions. This is a good test to see just how well your dog knows his commands and the reliability of his training!)
