Huh. One wonders exactly how they conditioned the dog to turn away when it hears "Barack Obama". I can picture her smacking the dog's snout to bring about that response.
In the 60s my parents and some of their friends taught our German Shepard to chase after birds when they said Agnew, and to attack a cardboard box when they said Nixon. AFAIR it only took a few minutes, but they got endless amusement out of it.

My nephews trained Little Caesar (an intelligent but vicious Malta-Poo) to run behind the toilet when they said "Obrigato" (thank-you in Portuguese, I think), and to run and hide under the bed when they said "Immigration". Apparently he learned very quickly.

I was thinking the same thing. It sure is funny though. I was on board with Sarah's, and the dog's choice with the funny money hand out.

Instead of the command "play dead", we ask our dog if she would rather be a Packer fan or dead. She drops like a stone. With Favre in the fold she's a little confused.

Ha! Agreed! My next dog is definitely learning a variation of that trick, except maybe it will be The Leafs instead of The Packers.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

Unfortunately, the Leafs have been killing their fans for more than 40 yrs now
