[Baitball Blogger]

has hit a new phase. Now they recognize the commercial when it comes on and they both raise their heads in anticipation of the sounds.

4. It would be, wouldn't it?

At least, then, it would have a good reason to ignore me when I call them.

5. Mine is good at keeping her eye on me, but she's still a dog..

If she sees a rabbit running across the street, she's gone; and like most dogs, she's not going to respond to my voice.

WTF, dogs. WTF!

8. But they run to the door, barking, as if someone is at their door.

They haven't figure it out yet.

13. Our late German Shepherd 'sang' to the Andy Griffith show theme.

Nothing else.
But when that played she'd point her nose in the air and just howl.

15. You trained them to do it. Probably subconsciously

You could easily train them to stop.
