When we lived in Minneapolis (really Plymouth), we had a neighbor with a
young black lab.  They had a command that dog understood, and I have always
wanted to teach my dogs the command, but they don't weem to undrstand.

The command was,"Go be a dog!".  

The lab would immediately race over to the dog area at the apartments we lived
in, and do everything it needed to.  Then it would come running back.  

There were about 20 acres of area behind the apartments.  We got 3-4 foot drifts
of snow.  That same dog could, on command, let you throw a ball into the field
(and under a drift), and it would find it everytime.  Unbelievable dog.
