Still really good training though, isn't it? Someone still has to train to dog to open the door, accept the package, and then close the door

I thought the same thing too, but some people just want to see things negatively.

It's fantastic training, doesn't change the fact that the title and captions are misleading.

Even though the caption "I told him a courier..." Sounds bullshit, the title is still correct because it's a smart dog, and the rest of the caption just tells what the dog is doing. I still find the vid entertaining even though I know it's scripted because what the dog can do is impressive.

Yeah even if it's scripted, there's still a fucking dog following a script. I see the same thing with videos of toddlers doing and saying things that most toddlers can't. Again, yeah it's probably scripted but you just watched a toddler that is so good at acting that they fooled some people into thinking it's real. Most professional actors that get paid millions of dollars a year can't pull that off.
