Dude, there's no reason dogs can't learn to count. When you're dealing with domesticated animals that are fed sufficiently similar items on a regular basis they become conditioned to eating that many milkbones. I'm sure the dogs would love more milkbones, but they've become conditioned to accept the fact that you're only going to give them 5 milkbones. Try giving them 6 milkbones for a month, then try going back to 5 (or whatever the number is).
Without your training, the dogs would almost certainly eat until they were full (or some other cause stopped them). Where the animal behaviourists at? Can anybody back me up that animals don't much care for numbers on their own?
