EDISON — Whoever said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks never met Chanda-Leah, a 12-year-old champagne-colored toy poodle from Canada.

The pet, headlined as “The World’s Smartest Dog,” was at the Super Pet Expo at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center this past weekend. Her repertoire of tricks ranges from balancing a tea cup on her head to fetching a tissue when someone sneezes.

“Chanda-Leah is in the Guinness Book of World Records for most tricks performed by a dog and currently knows 1,094 tricks,” said owner and trainer Sharon Robinson. The two traveled from Hamilton, Ontario, for the show.

The poodle is also a television show veteran. She has appeared on “The Maury Povich Show,” “Live with Regis and Kathy Lee,” the “Tonight Show” with Jay Leno and “The Late Show” with David Letterman.

Robinson says she started performing with her dog as a way to give back to the community. Now, she does the shows purely for charity.

“I bring Chanda to nursing homes, children’s hospitals, and schools,” Robinson said. “We do a whole hour of tricks. I wanted to do something to brighten up people’s lives, and to watch a kid smile and [laughter] is the best thing.
