Fun dog trick: We've taught Albee the cues "Where's mama?" and "Where's daddy?" (or "Find mama/daddy"). We use this to get him to run across the house and then back to get a treat. It's a good brain game as well as giving him a tiny bit of physical exercise.

transversely has also started using this cue to get Albee to help him find me when he doesn't know where in the house I am. Our house is quite small, so there aren't many places I could be, but apparently T still needs help finding me. ;) If he can't find me and I don't hear him calling, he'll tell Albee to "find mama!" and the dog will go stand by the door of the room I'm in.

Helpful dog is helpful!
