Ive trained about a dozen dogs prior, most of them hunting dogs. Some of them certainly no slouches. But I have never had a dog as bright as this guy.

At 10 mos old he not only knows and obeys come, heel, sit, lay down, go right, go left, come closer, stop and stay, but he knows how to do them with three separate types of command, or a combination of, voice, hand/arm, whistle.
Sheps are that smart, plus a little credit for the trainer. Best of all they are VERY protective of home and family.
