Dog Song Saturday: Bad Dog Song

It's Saturday, so time for a dog song at Talking Dogs.  We think you'll enjoy this original song about dogs.  Listen closely to the lyrics and smile at the charming video slideshow for Bad Dog Song.  The composer notes:  About ten years ago my 5 year old daughter asked me why dogs always did bad things even though they seemed to want to please us.  I couldn't think of any satisfactory answers, but being a songwriter, came back a day later with something to sing.

Grab a dog.  Sit.  Stay.  Relax and enjoy Bad Dog Song.  If you're in the mood for more songs (and videos) about dogs, fetch Talking Dog's Dog Songs.    Then scroll down below today's dog song video and have a sniff at some barking good dog blogs because today is a Pet Bloggers Hop!

Dog IQ Test: How Smart is Your Dog

With the exception of what appears to be senility for Tucker, we happen to think our dogs are pretty darn smart.  Right now I've got Gary watching this video (below) that explains the rules for a dog IQ test.  Pretty simple tasks and, since they all involve treats, we think our dogs should do pretty well.  

We'll let you know how the For Love of a Dog dogs do in a future Talking Dogs blog post.  In the meantime take a look at this competition between a Puggle, an English Bulldog, and a Bernese Mountain Dog.  Though it is a bit of cheat, I have to say that if you're as beautiful as this Berner, who needs smarts?

Watch this battle of the doggie brains video from Purina, jot down the tasks and scoring, put your dogs through their paces and let us know how you do!
