Dog knowing a place

Yes sir they learn.... seen it many times !!Them dogs ain't dumb they catch on very fast!!Before I had tracking system my dogs would come home even after looseing them 10 miles from the house!!I would get up to go look for them the next day and they would be on the porch happened alot!! My mother in law lived 2 miles from me and if I would go to her house my dogs would travel down there but if I went to town they would stay at home!You could not see her house and had to turn down roads... how did they know I was going to her house they even crossed a major highway to get there!! 2 of the best dogs I ever owned Rambo and Torbo!!
