Everybody knows that dogs are incredibly smart. But what many owners of dogs don’t realize is that they can also be scheming (though this attribute has always been associated with cats). And they seem to collaborate and work well as a team.
A team of three dogs has proven just that. Their owner has captured a moment where they are working together to achieve a common goal: food! Take a look at the story of these three adorable dogs.
Teamwork makes the dream work
The trio’s mischief has been captured on camera by Norwegian Line Fatland Froystad, who manages the Instagram account called @funnybubbledogs. In the clip, the Border Collies named Harley and Henry help Hugo, a Corgi, to reach a plate of leftover food on the kitchen counter. The two Border Collies help the short-legged dog by letting him stand on their backs.
It is not clear, though, if the smart act has been scripted for entertainment purposes or if the canines are acting of their own accord. This is because Froystad, apparently, is a dog trainer.
Nevertheless, the video has gotten the netizens smiling. They have even left some comments under the video, saying how adorable and funny the trio is.
According to Froystad, the three pups are being raised together. Hugo somehow stands out due to his eagerness to act like the Border Collies, as the two other dogs can run fast, jump high, and nick some food from the counter.
What to do when your dogs keep stealing food
What if your dog acts like Hugo, Harley, and Henry? If your dog’s been stealing food, cut the habit out by getting him out of his excited state; encourage him to lie down.
You also need to remove the opportunity, meaning the counter should always be swept clean – no crumbs and small pieces of food should be left on the surface. And instead of yelling at your dog, train him to leave and stay in his place. If he follows your commands, reward him with a treat.
