00:00This is a series where we'll be attempting to teach our dogs seven new
00:04tricks in seven days. Golden Retrievers are ranked fourth smartest dog breed and
00:09Dobermans are ranked as the fifth. Some websites even claim these breeds are
00:13able to learn commands at fast speed but how true actually is that? Okay so we
00:17have Moki here she's a one-year-old Doberman and our goal today teach Moki
00:22how to take a selfie. Step one is to hold the tree in your hand and lure your dog
00:27over your shoulder. Easier said than done. Come here. Sit. Wait. Yes. Yuck. Yes. Yes. Good girl. Okay so the
00:44plan is to firstly just get her used to being in the position where we want her
00:49to be for the selfie. Come. Come. Sit. Yes. Yes. Yes.
00:56Yes. This is going good. Oh no. Okay she's still on the street from my hand. Sit. Yes. I think
01:06I need to stop forcing my shoulder onto her.
01:10Yes. Is that good? Sit. Yes. Oh she's chilling there now. This video is going to be about two minutes
01:16long.
01:16I'm going to try and get her to be a bit more behind me because at the moment she's sort
01:20of next to me.
01:20Wait. Wait. Wait. Yes. Not bad at this isn't it? I think you're starting to get this a little bit.
01:28Yes. Yes. Wow. Okay step two is to introduce the command word. Selfie. Yes. Selfie.
01:43Selfie. Yes. Good girl. Wait. Wait for the word. Okay I'm going to try and position her head a little
01:51bit higher so that she'll be looking at the camera when she's actually taking the selfie.
01:55And then keep moving to the side. Come. Sit. Selfie. Yes. Good girl. Okay step three is I'm going to
02:04try and say the word and I want her to actually put her head over my shoulder
02:09instead of me sort of like trying to get her. So let's see how that goes. Sit. Sit. Wait. Selfie.
02:16Nope. That's alright. Selfie. Yes. Is that good? Selfie.
02:26No. No. Come. Up. Wait. This is starting to get a bit hard now. Selfie. Yes. Selfie. No. Selfie.
02:40No. No. Okay. Come. Sit. Selfie. Yes. That was good. Well done. Selfie. Yes. Good girl. Oh thank you. Selfie.
02:52Yes. Oh why'd you stand up? You're doing so good. Sit.
02:58Moki. Oh. This is harder than I thought it was going to be. I know. You're a good girl. You're
03:05trying aren't you? Oh this is tough.
03:07We've got this. We've got this. Yeah. Come on. Selfie. No. Selfie. Yes. Ah she stood up. Sit. Well thank
03:18you.
03:22Yes. Yes. Ah I need to stop letting her stand up. Sit. Sit. Come. Come. Come. Come on. Selfie.
03:39Selfie. That's your cue. Selfie. Ah nearly. She got up. Come on. We're getting close. Selfie.
03:46Selfie. Oh I don't think she's going to get this. I thought you were meant to be the fifth
03:53smartest dog breed in the world. Okay at this point we're going to take a little break. It's
03:57always good to let your dog have a break. Have a nice little drink. And then we're going
04:01to get back to it. We're back from our little break. We're going to try something a bit different
04:05this time. So instead of making her sit and me coming in front of her it's quite forced.
04:09So what I'm going to do is I'm going to lure her head. So come round and pull. Yes. Follow
04:16the treats.
04:18Come on. And then once she's here I want to get her to just chill. Yes. Come on. Follow it.
04:25Come.
04:27Yes. She's getting quicker now. Yes. So every time she gets out of the position of being here
04:35I'm going to reset her and get her to come back round like that. Come on. You know where
04:42we're going. Yes. When she learns to stay in that position I can just keep giving her treats.
04:47Yes. Yes. Oh are you learning? Are you learning to stay there now? Oh look at that. Right.
04:54Let's get her out of it. Yes. We want you a bit closer to me. Yes. You're going to stay
05:03there. Yes.
05:05This one's working. You know where to go. Hang on. A bit more. Come on. You know where to go.
05:14Yes.
05:14Oh yeah. It is perfect. Oh good girl. Oh have you learned to stay there when you get a treat?
05:21So now I'm going to try and introduce the command word again. All right. Let's bring it back round.
05:26You know where to go now. Selfie. Yes. Selfie. Oh. Selfie. Yes. Selfie.
05:36Selfie. Oh. Okay. Oh. Yuck. Oh. Thank you. I know you're learning.
05:44No. Come on. Come. Come. Come. Come. All right. Reset. This is the Doberman's stubbornness.
05:52Camera. Selfie. Yes. So well done. So I could see that when I said Selfie you could see her
06:00kind of bringing her bum around. Selfie! Yes! We're gonna take a little break again
06:06because she's making progress but we don't wanna fry her brain too much. So
06:10a little break and then we'll see where you're at. So we're just gonna let Moki
06:13chill out for another five or ten minutes. Oh, since she's a doy woman she
06:19always wants to work but it's always good and healthy for the brain to have a
06:22nice little rest and then we can get back at it. Okay, back at it. Let's try and pick
06:27up where we left off. Selfie! Just as I thought progress is being made. I've been
06:35brought in as a reinforcement so mum's attempt. Selfie! Yes! Selfie! Selfie! Yes! Okay, excuse me! Selfie!
06:48That's not a selfie, that's a sit. Come on! Selfie! That's peek-a-boo. Selfie! Selfie! Yes!
07:00Restaurant! Selfie! Selfie! Yes! Selfie! Come on! Selfie! Moki, come on! Selfie!
07:17What we're doing clearly isn't working. This is a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be. What
07:22we're gonna try and do differently is we're gonna get her to sit on the sofa and I'm just gonna
07:25teach
07:26her to rest her head on my shoulder and reward her and that's gonna be step one. Yes! Yes! Yes!
07:34So she's
07:35picked that up quite quickly. Now what I want her to do is rest her head on my shoulder but
07:39be looking
07:40towards the camera. Yes! Yes! See, so she's learned. If I leave my head on dad's shoulder I get a
07:47treat.
07:48It's not quite what we want you to do. Yes! So now I'm gonna introduce the word. Selfie! Selfie! Selfie!
08:00I was hoping so much that I was gonna say selfie and she was gonna lift her head. Oh! At
08:07this point
08:08we've been teaching Moki how to take a selfie for about three hours. Our energy was running low. Moki just
08:15wasn't getting it and honestly we felt like giving up. But we couldn't fail on day one of this challenge.
08:21we knew we had to get this. Strip back into this. Selfie! Selfie! Selfie! Selfie! Slowly falling down. Selfie! Yes!
08:34Selfie! Yes!
08:37We repeated this same method over and over and over again and then she started to show some progress.
08:45This is gonna be the selfie where she rests her head on my shoulder because it's the
08:51best we can do. All right? We've tried. So the goal now is to try and get her to do
08:56this every time I say
08:57selfie. Selfie! Yes! Selfie! Yes! Selfie! Yes! Selfie! Yes! Selfie! Yes! Selfie! Selfie!
09:21Yes! Yes! Yes! Good girl! Selfie! Off! Off! Off! She's locked herself! Selfie! Yes! Selfie!
09:35So this is where we are at. She's basically gotten it. Selfie! As I say that of course she doesn't
09:42do it! Selfie! Yes! Good girl! Selfie! Yes! Good girl!
09:50Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! You're so good aren't you? Yes! Even though she's doing it before I
09:56actually
09:56say selfie I just want to reward her. Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!
10:00You're too... Haha! Yeah! All right then! Moment of truth! Selfie! Yes! Good girl! One more! Wait! Yeah! Ba-ba
10:13-ba-ba-ba! Selfie!
10:16Good girl! Good girl! We take that!
10:20It's currently day two and it's Coby's time to shine!
10:24And our goal? Teach Coby how to roll! Oh! This is gonna be fun!
10:28Good girl! And he goes over! Good girl!
10:30He makes his arms go in the air and it's so funny! He tries!
10:33Halfway he's like...
10:34Pffft!
10:35Hehehehe!
10:35Hehehe!
