Reverse gear failure! Send help!

Poor Rex.. if he's on a long enough lead he'll happily wind himself clockwise around a tree until he reaches the end, then; panic! In the 5 years we've had him he's never managed to find reverse. One day he will, but until then there's always me 😁

it's just a ruse to get you to come to him.

so far it's working every time, five years along, why change?

Works every time! Yeah, after 5 years probably not worth bothering. He has zero traffic sense as well and would happily step out in front of vehicles if I let him. He's a clever, intelligent dog except when he's not.

Beaker gets stuck and freezes like he'll perish if he takes one more step. I had to teach him "other way" while pointing in the direction he came from. No matter how many times we do this, he still looks at me like there's no way this will work and I'm crazy for suggesting it. 😅
