A hilarious new video is going viral on the internet, brilliantly demonstrating some of the amusingly playful and intelligent characteristics of Australian Shepherds. In this case, a young pup excitedly performs some basic tricks. However, before the puppy, Butters, can even finish demonstrating each trick, an older Aussie, Yuki, can be seen in the background simultaneously obeying the commands. And it is simply because she wants the treats too.
Australian Shepherd does puppy’s tricks for him because she wants treats in hilarious video
In the video, every time the parent asks the puppy to sit, go around, or shake their paw, the older Australian Shepherd takes off and performs the trick perfectly. She then looks at the treat bag, waiting for a reward, as if to say, “You’re welcome. Where’s my payment?”
These traits are totally representative of the breed. Australian Shepherds are one of the smartest, most active, and most eager to work dog breeds. This breed was bred primarily in the American West to assist with herding animals.
They have great problem-solving skills and have a desire to please their owners. Aussies thrive when they have something to do. Whether it’s to complete a task, face a challenge, or stimulate their minds and bodies during playtime, they absolutely love it.
Not only is the older dog performing tricks, but she is also utilizing her intellect to figure out the order of commands as they happen. Taking advantage of every opportunity to receive a reward, as well.
Her timing is right on target, her movement is fluid, and her enthusiasm is evident. If you have owned or lived with an Australian Shepherd, then you will recognize that this scenario is typical of this breed.
This video features a very typical example of an Australian Shepherd, a family member who is fun, intelligent, and wonderfully chaotic.
