Smart Aussie sticks tongue out at owner for hilarious game

This smart Aussie really knows how to have a good time! When it comes to playing games, she is all in. Her owner taught her how to play "catch the tongue" and it is now one of her favorite games to play!

When her owner asks her if she wants to play, you can immediately see the smile on her face and the light in her eyes. It is game on and she knows exactly what to do. When her human holds out his hand and a pinching position, she brings her head closer and slowly starts to stick out her tongue. When he reaches to grab her tongue, she quickly brings it back into her mouth and a huge smile erupts on her face! We have never seen a dog smile so much when playing a game!

This thirteen year old Australian Shepherd is no stranger to games. She plays many others like Simon Says, Got Your Nose, and Hide and Seek. She is always up for a game, and the Catch The Tongue seems to be her favorite based on the huge smile on her face.

Every time he gets close to catching her tongue, she wrinkles it up and slides it back in. This goes on over and over until she has finally had enough of the game, and give him a small nibble on the hand and walks away. It is better to walk away undefeated since he never did get his hands on the tongue!

Australian Shepherds are herding dogs and need to have a job to do by nature or they will get bored and mischievous. This Aussie is long retired, but still requires mental stimulation. This is where the games come in. Her owner has taught her how to use various parts of her body in order to play games. Her smile is contagious as you can see, and it is obvious how much she enjoys spending time with her owner and playing silly games to keep her brain young!
