HA! My Dad had Dachshunds, and was convinced they could tell time and would then tell him it was dinner time. What we FINALLY got him to understand, was that they were picking up on his cues (my wife is a certified dog trainer) of what he did every time before he fed them. During Superstorm Sandy in October 2012, he stayed with us for the 2 week duration and lo and behold....with a different environment and circumstances, 4:30PM came and went without the dogs having a clue. Unfortunately, he did not learn the lessons well, and things went back to the old way when he returned home.
