He is up there. Even by BC standards. I'm guessing the only reason he does it is because it occurred to him and because he can. You will send yourself mad trying to work out their brains. Just accept it. But he is really quite exceptional.
Kinga has quite a few little things he does, and this stick thing is just something he inherently wants to do. I do nothing but say "get yer stick" and **watch**. Like a child, if i stop watching, he will stop showing off ;)
None of the KingaStick vids really show how cool this action is. Like anything of value, it is hard for him to do right, and only happens from time to time, where he can spin it 5-10 times around his back, and i never got any on film yet.
@PoolerDude That really is amazing. God you must miss him. WHY WHY WHY did God bless Border Collies with SO many endearing traits but then curse them all with the worlds most stupid, annoying, tuneless, bark!
if you could spend a bit of time with Kinga, to watch him without guiding him, you start to see the most amazingly inquisitive dog.. he watches everything, and listens to every word, and you can almost see his brain working to figure things out. Hell, he even watches clouds roll by..

Beautiful dogs, how do you teach him how to balance the stick?

This is something Kinga does on his own. He knows *exactly* what he wants to do, now the real question is: why? ;)

Hehe, yeah that is the ultimate question, isn't it? :)
