Dogs have interest. They try to harness the distractions that dogs naturally have. You can’t compete with the dog’s natural views, “rear end vs owner.” You train a dog by making up rules, human rules, we don’t take the dog’s rules into account.

Pablos Holman – Bump Key Demo
December 4, 2007 – 12:39 am
During his presentation Pablos demonstrated a bump key, which is a trick to bump a specially crafted key in most locks and it will open it. One of my trading cards was actually getting one from him, and when I tracked him down he gave me a short demo for the camera:
