The Amazing Skidboot
I wish kids would listen as well as this dog does!
Meet Skidboot. This clever little dog took out the grand prize at Pet Star, a National pet competition aired on tv (watch her act below).
His owner, David Hartwig, a farrier by trade, took on Skidboot when his owners were ready to get rid of him for being too 'mischievous'. Within 5 minutes David was utterly amazed by Skidboot's intelligence, managing to teach him the fetch and wait routine showing below in record time.
Unfortunately in 2007 Skidboot died, but today David continues to train and perform with some of Skidboot's offspring.
Watch the video that sent Skidboot to national fame:
