Animals are secret geniuses. You may have heard of different stories of how their mysterious brains work. Teaching your own cuties is a very challenging process, but is definitely rewarding in the end.

Not my dog but my Grandparents neighbors dog. If you step back like 10 feet and throw a treat, she will catch it in midair. I've never seen her fail that.

Wow cool. My dogs are have awful sight/ smell for a dog. I think they would be lucky to do that 3 times out of 50.

When my younger dog wants water, she will occasionally manage a bark that sounds just like "water". Once I told her I would walk her in a minute and she let out a growly- woofy sound that sounded just like "in a minute". She is always trying to communicate in a human way as possible. We are always trying to help her do these things so I guess it counts as a trick.

My dog opens our backdoor and lets herself out into the yard.

I didn't teach her this, but my young CAT, who is actually not that smart, plays fetch with a ball. Well, not exactly fetch. I just throw a ball and she sprints to go get it. She doesn't bring it back though. I always just go over and throw the ball again.

Not sure I can call this a trick but I have a cat who'll ride on my shoulders if I'm sitting or walking around. Didn't teach him that either, he just started doing it.
