Doing Sums
"Why do you have that dog barking as much?"
"I'm teaching her to count"
"That's clever from someone who can't count their fingers"
"Yes I can, I can count to two" "Look!"
Dogs do not need much encouragement to bark, so teaching them to count should not be too difficult, the only tricky part is getting them to stop at the right time. So how should you do it? The best approach to this was to hold a tit bit up to Molly and ask, "Do you want it?" "What?" "What?" of course she does, and at the first bark, she is given it. Ask again, this time wait for a second bark. Good, ask again, "Do you want it?" Put the emphasis on "What" Wait until it barks three times {good} give it the tit bit. Just remember to close your hand that contains the tit bit, and when it reaches the correct amount of barks, open your hand and allow it to take the tit bit. Now that it has the hang of it, let's try and count.
Getting your dog to bark may not at first appear to be unusual, what is unusual, is that you will be able to demonstrate that your pet will soon be able to answer when it is told to add or subtract, and then move on to much more complex problems such as fractions, percentages or any other math's problem you care to teach it. Every thing you need to know is listed in simple to follow instructions such as those listed above, which will make your pet to be able to solve any problem that you ask of it.
