When we were very young 10 or so My older brother trained our German Shepard for years.  If he told the dog to sit and stay, then walked off the dog would not move for no one but him.  You could put food in front of him and come back later and the dog would be in the same spot and food on the floor yet.  When my brother came home the dog would not move until my brother said OK!   I could tell the dog the same thing.  The dog would look it me like who the hell are you tell me what to do.   

Good dog.  Totally devoted!!!

Yeah, they generally bond with one person, and in our case I think she'll bond with toy and I.
I taught her to fetch today, and she already knows her name, tommorow she learns sit and stay.
Boy, if only parents today would teach their kids the basics.

Sit, fetch and stay are all useful commands for children. Now if they'd own forage for their own food....

I had a wolf mix in the 80s that got hooked on coffee, we didn't know it till one day when she sat whining and looking at my wife one Sunday morn.
So she sat her cup of coffee down, got up to let her outside, thinking she needed to pee, but instead, jumped up in the chair and started drinking her coffee.
Turned out, she used lots of cream in her coffee every morning in a mug she never finished, Ursa the wolf, that was her name, used to drink her half empty cup after she would leave for work.
I asked her how long do you suppose she had been drinking coffee, and she said she wondered why her cup was always clean when she'd go to fill it in the morning, and that had been at least two months.

And yes, she was blond. God the woman was thick at times, never once put two and two together. How could you not at least question who was drinking you coffee?
OK, I'll say, she was one dumb bitch, and I do mean bitch... No offense Ursa.
