File this one under the "too much time on their hands" category, or alternately, "I just love to confuse the heck out of my dog."

In videos posted on YouTube and Facebook, challengers repeatedly raise and lower a blanket in front of their faces, impressing on their dog that they're behind the blanket until suddenly they're not (having given their pooch the slip by ducking behind a door).
