googling challenge

[anotheranon]

I am advised that there is a dog obedience training facility in PA somewhere that will teach you to train your dog to respond to voice commands.

In Klingon.

Now, I have no reason to doubt my source, but this is "I heard it from a friend of a friend of.." sort of thing, and (admittedly extremely brief) search for "train dog klingon" this morning has netted me no proof (though I did learn that there is no Klingon word for "garden". Fancy that...), so I feel somewhat premature in sharing this wildly funny but unsubstantiated story with you :P

So I issue a challenge - can someone find me a link or a story - anything really - about this fabled school? Even a phone number would work - for something this odd I'd choke down my phone-phobia to check it out.

Go to it!

P.S. Cats cannot be voice trained, in Klingon or any other language. However, I do suspect they speak Elvish.

Oh, you KNOW I love a Google challenge. Pretty much all I came up with were people naming their dogs after Klingon characters, Star Trek fans who also happen to be dog owners, fanfic that includes Klingon dogs, and booksellers who happen to sell both dog training books and Star trek novels. :p

HOWEVER ...

I did get ONE hit within the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, but a Page Not Found when I clicked on it. 'tis possible that the rumour is elderly and the somebody who was doing it is no longer active.

P.S. My search, BTW, was in Google Advanced, with "klingon" and "obedience" in the "with all of the words" line and "dogs" and "dog" in the "with at least one of the words" line. Tried the same search with "obedience" removed; then tried it with "training" substituted ... same results, just in a different order.

Shoulda known you'd jump on this one :)

Interesting result! I will keep it in mind (packing/homeworking now).

I Remember!

It was my friend Erica English. her brother, who I think lives near pittsburgh, has three dogs. When he had the big stupid lab trained by some local guys, they gave him the options of english, german and klingon.

I'll get the name from her next time I see it.

See you tomorrow (squee!)
