I must have had too much coffee (where the heck IS Mike Arnold, anyway??), because I'm thinking I'm going to log my training of one of my dogs to "find the amber toy."
No no, Leo, AMBER! Get the AMBER toy!!
Maybe the aquamarine toy in the lineup of turquoise ones ....

I guess this would be an amber alert.
We interrupt this dog programming to bring you this pale beige alert. Do not confuse this with a light tan, dark ivory, or medium cream alert. This is a pale beige alert.

I like amber alert better...
"One last interesting note about dogs' eyes is that many old timers in the field of dog training think there is some truth to the saying, "Beware the dog with amber eyes." In my clinical practice with aggressive dogs, I have seen many dogs with amber eyes. Some, but not all, of them require caution, just like dogs with every other eye color. So, while I'm not convinced that there is any truth to the saying, I do always think of it whenever I meet a dog with amber eyes." http://www.dogbehaviorblog.com/2008/05/the-eyes-have-i.html
I find people in general are weird and misinformed about dog's and eye contact.
I always teach my dogs to make and hold eye contact with me it makes communicating and giving direction so much easier.
When they want attention or to see what is going to happen next they often make and hold eye contact with people.
This actually scared one of my son's friends not long ago. He ran up to me and said Loki was staring at him. His dad had told him never to look a dog in the eyes.
I had to explain to the little boy that Loki was staring at him waiting to see if he would be invited to cuddle, and that Loki was actually being very polite by laying down calmly across the room and watching to see if it was okay to come over.
I have been told several times by well meaning people that I was going to cause dominance, and that they were behaving aggressively by looking me in the eyes.

Holding eye contact with me is one of the first things I teach too. "Watch me," I call it. I ask for "sit" and "watch me" at every mealtime. It's a handy command to use when a dog is distracted and you want to get them to focus (like at agiliy class, with mine.)
