It seems to me that this video confirms the old saying that you can do anything as long as you put your mind to it! That`s exactly what this guy did when he was approached to create a dog driving training regimen, which he did. After only eight months, he had managed to teach three dogs the basics of driving, and not only that but they can handle a Mini Countryman without any difficulty! These are definitely the smartest dogs you`ll ever see – if they were people, they`d be professional race car drivers!
Monty, Ginny and Porter have been practicing for a while now and they are demonstrating in the video that they can, in fact, drive a car like the dog trainer said before.
Anyway, this dog driving training regimen appears to consist of positioning the dog behind the wheel and the dog`s owner behind the dog, so that he can observe it`s moves and correct them if they are wrong. This happens a lot, so all the parts that the dog touches need to be isolated and protected, so they`re wrapped with either duct tape, plastic or wicker – either way, the dog will feel safe and it will be able to concentrate on the driving lessons. After a while, the simple instincts in the dog`s head begin to accommodate this new, now trained skill – driving.
Also, the video says that this is all because of a dog adoption home and that we should all adopt one, and I support them 100%!
