Playing with a ball inside the house usually means a quick toss across the rug. But Poppy isn’t interested in the standard rules of the game. There is a gold club involved. Her owner, @destiney_watt, shared a video of the dog taking fetch to a whole new level. Poppy is a sweet Doodle who apparently does it all. She stands on the hardwood floor and waits for her human to take a swing. Her excitement and anticipation are contagious. She is clearly a pro at being a golf assistant.
Dog can barely contain its excitement during an indoor fetch game with a golf club
Poppy stands ready while her human holds the club. There is a tennis ball on the floor. She is told to wait. Interestingly, her tail starts wagging immediately. She can’t stop doing these little tippy taps. Her feet just won’t stay still. It makes the human filming laugh because the energy is so high. She knows exactly what is coming next. Her dog’s brain is totally locked on that ball. And she doesn’t stop dancing for a second.
The human shuffles their feet and gets into a ready stance. They raise the club. They fake a swing. Surprisingly, Poppy doesn’t fall for it. She stays in her spot. She watches the movement closely. Of course, she isn’t a rookie, and so, she waits for the real deal. The anticipation in the room just keeps building. She “was waiting for you too!!” one viewer commented on the clip. It is obvious this has happened many times before in this household.
Finally, the club makes contact. It is a clean hit. The ball flies across the room. Poppy is already in alert mode. She catches the ball perfectly mid-air. It is a very smooth move. “Poppy, my sweet doodle, can do it all!” her owner wrote. This fetch session has already earned hundreds of likes.
Afterwards, she just grabs the ball and walks away like it was no big deal. She is ready for the next hole. Or maybe just a nap. Either way, that catch definitely won her the match.
