I am pretty sure that all pets, no matter whether they are mammals, amphibians, lizards or avian, have a secret pact to troll the living daylights out of their owner and they secretly share the results amongst themselves so they can all laugh
That is really the only explanation I can give as to why my friend’s dog Carrie LOVES to embarrass her human
Also, by the way I want to explain playing hide-and-seek with your pet make your dog more smart:
Teaching your dog to play hide-and-seek is a fun workout for brain and body. Here's how to teach your dog this playground favorite
One of the best parts of having a dog companion is playing with your furry friend. Dog play can take many forms, from tug-of-war to fetch. If you're looking for a new game that will stay fun and challenging for both of you, think about hide-and-seek.
Hide-and-seek is a great game for just about any dog.
Get His Attention
Using a favorite toy or a treat, get the dog's attention. It helps to have someone to hold the dog, so she doesn't simply follow you -- which would make for a short game indeed. Kathy Santo, an award-winning dog trainer in Ramsey, New Jersey and author of Kathy Santo's Dog Sense, suggests making the game fairly easy at first. "Run away, calling the dog's name, and hide somewhere easy, like behind a chair. It's okay to let the dog see you do this," she says
Call Out
Call the dog so he can start figuring out where to look for you. Interestingly, Woodard says, dogs will start off the game using visual and voice cues, but then revert to their instincts and use scent. "They use their nose so much that they'll go by the person hiding and then turn when their nose catches the scent," she says. This gives them a chance to use their dog instincts
Celebrate Your Dog's Win
When your dog finds you, make it a big celebration so he's encouraged to not get distracted or discouraged during the game. Use praise, belly rubs, treats or hand over his favorite toy -- whatever his currency is. Santo suggests tossing some kibble on the floor, so the dog doesn't try to jump on you
Get the Whole Family Involved
You can hold the leash while one or more of your children hide and tell the dog to go find them. "One of the families that trains at my school has four kids, and when they play hide-and-seek, they use the dog to find the ones that are hiding. They call it 'search and rescue' and the dog loves it!" says Santo. Some dogs even play it with other pets in the household!
