It sounds like Tornado-dog has some of those traits. He will sit in front of the dog bowls when he and Cat-dog want to eat. He will sit at the back door for me to towel dry him after playing in the water. At night, he will run into the bedroom, stand at the first nightstand and stare at the dog cookie jar. As soon as I take out the cookies, he runs to the other side of the bed and looks over the bed at me. When I get in bed, he sits for his cookie. He is a quick learner, but has the JRT tenacity so "redirection" is not a given.
He has learned two new commands, "touch noses" - my head has to be within 6-12 inches of his, but when I say it, he will touch his nose to mine. Occasionally he adds a lick. The other is "show me your face". He will go to the stair landing and paw at the baby gate to open it. I'll tell him to leave it and he'll get real quiet (not a good thing). So I say "show me your face" and he looks around the wall at me. Once he does that, I can call him and he'll come to me.
