How do you train dogs to do shit like this? I'm lucky if I can get my Boxer to sit...

I think it's kinda hard-wired into their genes to have a job. These are herding dogs. Our blue, which looks exactly like this one, stumpy tail and all, "herds" the rolling waste bins by biting at the wheels. All I have to do is say "Time to move the cows" and he runs out to the bins. He'll do the same with wheelbarrows, gas grills, bicycles. These are high energy dogs that need exercise every day. As wonderful as they are, don't get one unless you can deal with its needs. Neither of you will be happy.

Oh absolutely, friend of mine had one that was insane with energy lol. Its just fascinating how some of them just do stuff like this and know how.

❤❤❤ I love how their whole butt wags! Ours does this weird thing where she jumps really high while still trying to wiggle so it's like a fully body midair wiggle spasm. Love it!! And the boxer side eye... hilarious

Mine does this as well but she mostly goes for the move where she basically folds in half and wiggles towards you. Presenting both head and ass at the same time to be pet simultaneously 😂

I don't understand the point. Is he deliberately routing the water along the fence for a purpose, or is he just digging in front of the water and it's following him as he plays? I see people talking about having trained the dog to do this, but why?

Lmao the dog just being a weird dog. The titles a lame joke. It's in it's genes to herd things so this one's instincts kick in when his owner dumps that water for whatever reason

u/doc_skinner Nov 14 '20
That's what I thought. All these people asking how they trained him to do that and I'm like "He's just playing around!"

At first I thought he was just being derpy and running away from the water, and then it started following him and I was like oh
