I once had a German Shepard mixed with an Akita. She was gorgeous <3 and super smart. She actually learn to open the doors, like two types of door knobs that were in the house. We used to show her skills off to friends and family, when we arrived home and call her to open us the door. And everyone was like ohohoohoh. Hahahaha. But she never ever opened to others than my mum, me n sis... not even to close friends, we tried a few times. Anyway! The thing is when she arrived being a pup I went to school on the evenings and my sis on mornings, my mum worked almost all day. So I played with her until she fell asleep on mornings and I had to relay first on the complicated maneuvers to not wake her up by touch (cuz she always fell asleep on top of me), and on the tv to create sort of a background noise to shield my movements as I was leaving the house like a shinobi.
