Many years ago, there was a horse named Clever Hans, who seemed to be able to do mathematical problems, and stomp out people's ages with his hoof.
When the trainer was put behind a blind, the horse could no longer solve the problems. He was reading his handler's body language, even though the handler wasn't aware of it. He would relax his body when the horse reached the correct sum, and that was the horse's cue to stop pawing with his hoof.
Prager, Timber was a Shiloh. I can well believe he had ESP. Shilohs are incredibly smart!
My female GSD loves to cuddle, but she knows she has to ask for permission first. She will come and stare at me, and all I have to do is give a very slight nod of my head, or even smile at her, and she knows it's okay to put the front part of her body in my lap for some cuddling.
Hey, we single gals have to take what we can get...

I think this is a hard thing to teach a person, to listen to your dog. I also think the stronger the bond with your dog the more you communicate with each other, be it physical or mental.

Here is why I believe in telepathy. It has nothing to do with dogs but just with me. When I was a teenager in high school we went every summer for mandatory pick up of hops. It was a lot of fun an very little money. There was a guy his name of Padovec and he was slightly "different". We were onece talking about telepathy. He (Padovec) said I can prove it to you but you will have to try not to fight it. And he did. He held 3 cards between us looking into my eyes and saying find ....what ever card, let say queen of hearts and he would be repeating it over and over again. Than he said select Queen of hearts and that was a signal to go ahead and pick the card which I at that point thought was that card. And I was right. Well at first I have thought that he has had 3 same cards but no, they were different . And now comes the kick. We started to add cards and have done it 13 times and last time I picked it up out of 12 cards. Then I was completaly exhausted and made firs mistake. That is when we quit. There were at least 20 witnesses all around us and there was no obvious trick to it. He made me believer. No I have not seen UFO yet but this has really happened. Honest truth! So if you live with your dog 24 /7 why it is not possible to have such connection with it. We do not know everything around us. Earth was flat; sure thing , and malaria was spread by humidity from mud.
I wonder where is Padovec now?

I don't know about ESP, but I have been re-reading Chuck Eisenman's Stop! SIt! and Think!, and he mentions how he was having trouble teaching one of the Hobo dogs to play dead. He had to repeat the exercise over and over. By the time he was done, he just had to hold his body a certain way, look at the dog and the dog would fall over!
Dogs are incredibly good at picking up on our body language. That's why a dog will sometimes bite someone you don't like. It picks up on how uncomfortable you are around that person. Could be a combination of body language and the odour your body gives off due to fear or anger.

apparently we give off pharamones for each command we give to our dogs, and they are all different.

This was one of the best dogs I ever had the pleasure to own.

Please live with your dogs. Allow them in your life, in your house, in your car, in your vacations, in your games, in your hikes, in your visit to the coffee shop......

Also, with the dog that did it before how would you think about the commands? Would you visualize the dog doing the command or would you just think about the word? Would you try and "send" the command out in your mind to the dog? How long would it take for the dog to get what you were thinking? I know this is getting a little weird but Im curious! LOL
