golden retrievers (I have 2)
(1) are very smart (I knew that already),
(2) have very good hearing (well known for a long time)
(3) are very trainable (also very well know for a long time)
(4) are especially trainable when there's a reward of food for performance.

The Cleveland Orchestra!
Wow, they really ARE going to the Dogs...
BTW, do you know who the new Prin Clar is?
Edit- I guess they haven't had the Audition yet, saw the Position advertised in the International Musician Magazine.

Sadly, the Cleveland Orchestra hasn't attracted the quality of players that it once had..... When Cohen joined the Orchestra, he was the weak link amongst superstar wind principals.... But over time, due to decline in the wind personnel, he ended up being the star amongst wind mediocrity.

Strange sequence..... Lady Gaga -> Dogs -> Cleveland Orchestra ..... [-;

Does anyone else notice the dogs appear to "look" under the top shelf before they "find" the correct key? Particularly the lighter colored dog. Wouldn't be too hard "play" the piano when an LED light goes on above the key to press, would it?

Also curious is why she plays multiple notes on the same key instead of just one long tone. If her keyboard is triggering the LED queues for the dogs, a flashing LED will certainly draw their attention easier.

Carefully watching the keys the dog hits, they often don't correspond to the note that is heard when the key goes down.
I suspect the dog's keyboard is silent, and the 'trainer' is just repeating the note she has already played.
