It is a wholesome feeling when fur babies understand their pet parents. In an adorable Instagram video, an Australian Shepherd named Barney has a routine after coming home from his walk. He willingly goes for paw cleaning in the bathroom like a good boy. As soon as they enter the house, the pooch’s owner instructs him to go to the washroom, followed by more commands.
Interestingly, Barney follows every instruction and receives a treat in return. In the caption, the dog mom mentions, “We run a very tight paw-cleaning operation.”
Dog is surprisingly interested in paw washing
In a cute dog video on Instagram, an owner records her Australian Shepherd Barney’s willingness to wash his paws. On-screen, the dog mom mentions, “Watch where my Aussie goes after a walk.” Then, the clip shows the woman asking the fur baby to “go to the bathroom.”
It looks like Barney knows why his mom is telling him to rush inside the washroom. As he moves towards the bathroom, the owner asks him to “clean his paws.” After seeking mini-approvals from his pet parent, the dog stands in the shower area.
His face lights up when the owner praises him, saying, “Good boy!” Then she washes his paws with a hand shower, and he stays in one place without making a fuss. Barney continues to stand in the same place and calmly waits until the woman brings a towel. In the end, the dog with squeaky clean paws gets a delicious treat as a reward.
Meanwhile, viewers have praised Barney’s behavior in the dog paw video. A user wrote, “Oh how I love this boy, the most behaved and handsomest boy.” Many called him a “good boy” and shared relatable stories about their pets. One individual reflected upon themselves and said, “I think I need to learn.” Furthermore, the Instagram reel has received over 2K likes at the time of writing.
