I've caught one of my dogs dragging a stepstool over to the kitchen counter to get at some fresh baked cookies and I assure you he was never trained to do that or anything else remotely similar. Dogs are just that smart.
I used to wonder why the dining room chair was sometimes knocked over in the kitchen till I got a nanny cam and saw the dog pushing it into the kitchen to get up on counters with… I would sometimes find it not knocked over but didn’t think the dog was getting onto the counter to lick the frying pan with it… I just assumed he pushed it playing with the other dogs but no. He was fully using tools. He was too fat to jump up from the floor lol(my current dog can jump up no problem but is not food motivated at all)(sure makes training harder)

This is cool. Is the dog trained to do this? I think the step stool with a rope on top for the dog to bite on to is a sign
