Glimmers of brilliance ...LOL!
One of the first things I try to teach my dogs is "show me". Take me to the problem - are we out of food or water; or is there a goose in the yard? Need to go out and I can't see that you're standin...

We had the very first dog in Florida trained to find termites with her nose.
The training was six months long and I, as the handler, had to go to the kennel every day, six days a week for training sessions. Bugsy was taught to sit at the spot she found termites.
One day, Bugsy sat and looked up at me. I guess I was dreaming and soon the trainer said to me: “Bugsy is giving you a clear sign she found termites and you are ignoring her. WHAT DO YOU WANT HER TO DO? WRITE YOU A NOTE?”
Since then it has been a private joke in our house. “Need a note?”
