Epic Dog Beer Fetching

Has anyone trained their dog to walk over to the fridge, open the door, grab a beer, and bring it to you? You know the movie Shooter? Just like that?

I cannot imagine a more epic trick a dog could do. I have a young 8month old Shiba Inu and she doesn't listen for ****, but if she ever learns one thing, it will be this!

Nothing


My pet ferret rinses a glass, pries the top, pours a perfect head and then drinks the whole damn thing.

I am about to shoot the little ****er.

My cat does it all the time.

The day my dog brings me a slobbery shook up beer will be a day for much rejoicing at the house. No more need for dog food, no more vaccuuming up dog hair, no more barking at 2 am at a person walking by....

Haha epic pic. Perhaps you are right and this would not be ideal for a home brew... don't want to shake anything up that has so nicely settles, but for a basic BMC I don't think a dog would shake it up to much... Still think this would be epic though lol

bad kitty thats not beer.

Kittay haz da decoy brew.........mad kittay.

Funny the linked thread is about a boxer & boxer mix. I have a boxer, way too freaking intelligent & independent. I started teaching her this trick only to have her learn to open the freaking fridge on the second try. At which point my wife & I looked at one another and said, 'this is a bad idea'. At that time we had a toddler so we had a child-proof latch on the fridge. But without it it would only be a matter of time before the dog decided to go 'fridge diving' while we were out of the house! I should also mention I already had her fairly well trained to pick up a bottle so connecting the dots wouldn't have taken much time at all.

I say it's a bad idea unless you want to live with a child-proof latch on your fridge door till said dog dies. At least it would be with my hunk of boxer love! She already opens the pantry door to grab a snack of bread when it's not closed securely. Yes she opens doors with her paws if they're not totally shut/latched or use her mouth if something is hanging on the knob.

I just ask one of my kids to please get me a beer, it's payback time!
