That’s so cool, it’s amazing what a big range there is. There are always people saying that their dog/cat could never do those talking pet button things, yet there are other animals that seem to be able to remember and use dozens of them. I wonder how much of it is the animals natural ability, and how much of it is the amount of time that the person is able to spend on teaching.
Must be both. I used to have a super smart cat and I regret not teaching her more positive things (as opposed to negatives like “do not put the sink plug in the plughole” after I caught her trying to fill up a sink from a leaking tap).
