border collie that knows 340 commands
This dog is obvious pretty unusual to have go this far, but I'm not sure it's so amazing is it? The report implies that the dog is so amazing that her identity has to be kept secret etc. My dog's not a BC but knows all sorts of commands and I've only really just started training him, and I can be very lazy about it some weeks. I'm sure we won't get to 340 words, but I can imagine that a committed owner with a BC or other clever breed wouldn't have so much trouble. The average 15 commands of a "well-trained dog" seems a bit unambitious.
What do you think?
