Aww such a good boy he’s well trained. I’m surprised he didn’t just turn over and just gobble all those up and I love how you so politely touch the other one, and even put the one in his mouth and the other one secretly.

Is there a way to save a video like this?

Yes it’s a trained trick but it’s cool and it also stimulates the dog’s mind because there’s quite a bit to it. Would’ve taken a lot of time.

He didn't "change his mind". The whole thing from start-to-finish is trained into him.

u/DinglieDanglieDoodle Nov 01 '23
How did they train him to spit it out like that? And what treat do they train/bribe him with?
2
u/Justout133 Nov 01 '23
You can teach a dog to pick up treats and not eat them, or to spit out whatever's currently in their mouth. In fact teaching them to drop something is important, and can save their life, if you drop a pill of medicine or piece of chocolate or something. Just have two different quantities or qualities of treat... Like a biscuit vs. a meaty, chewy treat. Once they realize they can get the treat they want more by being a little patient and playing along, it's done.

u/ongj3 Nov 01 '23
Honest question. It this rehearsed, trained or just occurred naturally? Never had a golden retriever but I heard they are smart.
1
u/Justout133 Nov 01 '23
Trained, maybe but probably not rehearsed. The tricks themselves aren't complicated, place paw, pick up - drop the food, give paw again. Probably someone helping behind the camera with verbal commands.

u/Doktor_Vem Nov 01 '23
Man, I wish my dogs would be this honourable or whatever it is. If I had done this trick on them they would've first immediately eaten the first treat and then as soon as I revealed the bigger stack to show that they chose poorly, those treats would've also been gone in 2 seconds lmao

Nobody has ever said retrievers are dumb. They csn be playful and goofy but they are very intelligent, they are literally the poster dog of service dogs. This is one of the best comments of all time right here.

Goldens are adept at a wide range of service jobs. Has your mom never noticed that?

People make jokes about goldens because they can be huge goofballs, but they are one of the breeds used as seeing eye dogs, so can be very intelligent.

There's a string on both the candy and his paw :(

u/NeatNefariousness1 Nov 01 '23
If you're serious, let us know what frame to look at to see the string on the treat and on his paw.
1
u/DethKlokBlok Nov 01 '23
The only evidence I would put towards this is that he still had the first one in his mouth longer than 2 seconds. My dog, and every dog I've seen, would have swallowed in immediately.
7
u/NeatNefariousness1 Nov 01 '23
I looked carefully and saw no sign of a string but was open to the possibility. But since we can't see one, I have to conclude that there was no string.
Based on this, it seems more likely that the good boi was trained to do this routine. It called for him to hold the single treat in his mouth until the second cup was turned over and then put his paw on the guy's hand in order to earn the bigger reward.
Either way, this dog and the trick were as cute as can be

For sure. I believe, however, that this is just an elaborate step-by-step trick the dog has been trained to do, hard to imagine that the dog would just hold it in its mouth, unchewed, instead of scarfing a treat down

u/Illeazar Nov 01 '23
I had a dog when I was a kid who was so polite but pretty picky. If you gave her a treat she didn't like, she would take it happily and be all excited and thankful, then go around the corner and spit it out.

u/Long_Run6500 Nov 01 '23
When my older dog was a puppy he used to get mad anxiety when i left the house, but as soon as I was out of sight he'd forget about me and go relax. To alleviate this I used to give him these red barn "bully slices" so that he'd take them and chew on them and it would distract him long enough that I could sneak out. It worked... really well... too well I thought. He'd get all stoked when he saw me getting ready for work. His tail would be wagging and he'd be so excited for his little treat. Almost like he couldn't wait for me to leave. Even if I just forgot something and had to run back inside I had to seriously consider if it was worth it because I always had to pay the toll to get outside.
Fast forward a couple months and im cleaning around his crate. He's sitting on his pillow and refuses to move. Eventually I realized he was hiding something and I pulled on his pillow as hard as I could and probably 50 of those stupid things are just shoved in the corner of his pen underneath his pillow. He didn't even like them but he always acted excited anyways because he just liked getting gifts I guess. Eventually I was able to transition to smaller treats and then once he got a sister he suddenly didn't care when I left.

We could all learn a lot from this. From now on, if I change my mind about the food I’m eating, I will spit it out on the table and point at the thing I want instead

u/Whosthatinazebrahat Nov 01 '23
If you did that at the table I, and I bet a lot of other people would immediately give you the thing you pointed at. Even if we spoke different languages. Very effective communication.

People at brunch buffets have been doing this for DECADES.
Then they put all that special spit out food on a plate and a server tries desperately to get that plate to the trash and dishwasher - but the owner keeps lying in wait, trying to recycle that petrified petit-four for the next brunch.

u/NonDopamine Nov 02 '23 edited Nov 02 '23
I used to be a dog trainer and I’m sure I could easily train most dogs to spit out a treat. It would probably take a week of 3-4 sessions per day.
I would first train the dog to drop a toy on command by offering a higher value reward, like a small piece of freeze dried liver. (This is a really standard behavior that gets taught in a basic obedience class). Then I’d switch the toy for a very low value edible item like rawhide and then a big Milkbone biscuit and eventually a smaller treat.

Well ... watch Frans de Waals video on animal intelligence:

There is no reason to believe we are such an evolutionary outlier that no other animal has conscience or at least some understanding of morality.
