Tell me what you see here. Is this random? It seems to be something more than that.

Something in the repetition of the moves suggests some training was involved. Perhaps even commands given and soundtrack was dubbed in afterwards. The Doberman also seems to be looking above the TV at times.

Yeah, I think the dog probably had some kind of operant conditioning/reward system to learn to react that way.

Thank you for posting that. Made me smile ear to ear for almost the whole time. Big Grin

No way.. Big Grin That was for real right there. I will have to share that with a friend who has raised all different breeds.

Very cool video but pooch is taking direction from someone left of screen. Freeze it at 0:12. That took hours of training though.

You can always tell when a handler is there. This is common in films or a tv show. You see it look to its left to get instruction from the handler. Someone trained the dog for this, with reps.
