My neighbor by my last house had a bull terrier and training it was a constant battle of wits, mostly because the dog was smart. The damn thing was really nice and a good dog, just stubborn as hell.
mine is super goofy. she does this thing that drives me NUTS and she knows it...
we go outside and when its time to go back in, i call her name. she stops wherever she is and looks at me. just stands still and stares. I call her name and call her name and she's like a statue.
Then i yell my command that is supposed to make her come right over to me and sit, but what she does instead is run TOP speed around and around the house. when she passes me, she heads straight for me and i panick, thinking she's going to run me over, but she veers off and keeps running.
then she comes over, licks me, and goes in.
