Jack has been a huge fan of his stuffed hedgehog - he's gone through 2 of them now - but has also become a huge fan of my couch. So, when he drops the hedgehog off the couch, he will either figure out a way to retrieve his hedgehog without getting off the couch (this involves becoming a canine contortionist, trying to keep as much of his body on the couch as possible)...or trying to train his human to fetch it for him.
Here's me, sitting on the floor in front of the couch, and Jack lying ON the couch...he woofs to get my attention, then looks at me, then hedgehog, then back to me, then back to the hedgehog.
The message is clear. He's learning fast.

He has to bark to get your attention?!?! Clearly more training is required. You should be watching and waiting to assist Jack.

When he starts taking pics of you being obedient and doing tricks, tell him to post them, for sure!

I read a great book called My Human, My Slave. It was about parrots. After having several dogs and hounds, the same idea can apply. Totally fun anecdote
