You know, I bet that dog has perfectly wonderful mathematical potential, but what's his attention span like? I mean, can the poor dog focus on his math lessons long enough to really grasp the material? I recommend doing some observations--with a stop watch, time how long he is able to really pay attention without being distracted. My money's on the ADD. And if he's a Lab, make it ADHD. Of course, the other possibility is that he has some kind of hypersensitive sensory syndrome--you know, he is more sensitive than the rest of us to hearing things or smelling things, etc. etc. And finally, make sure the poor dog has had his bathroom break BEFORE trying to tutor him on his math problems, ok?
