  • wow nice :)

  • It would be easier to understand if there was sound. Do you know if this video is uploaded to a website where sound is allowed?

  • i think hes trained to stop from some sort of que, ive seen this before

  • Yeah the dog simply stops when she moves her hand forward with the reward.

  • That dog is smarter than some of the people graduating out of high school! LOL!!!

  • what kind of dog is this? adorable.

  • hey most people has to go to work for a living,and wild animals hunt,this is all this dog has to do

  • What makes you think the dog doesn't enjoy it? Perhaps you're anthropomorphising a bit.

  • Pets like dogs usually like stuff like this. He's getting treats and the owners are challenging the dog, which is great. Considering a lot of people that own dogs do nothing with them and don't stimulate them at all.

  • It's really neat! It's the same as kids learning times tables, they just learn the patterns first then learn how to count them. At least that's how I learned.

    When I was little I taught my chiwawa to say yes and no with licks 2=no 3=yes

    Keep it up though learning new things always or he'll probably forget how.. I was really little so I stopped and he forgot. My parents never believed he really did it no matter how dramatic it was..

  • you guys are right, it is responding to her hand, sometimes it even looks like it's about to go over, maybe on one of them. also, look at 0:57, he starts early and she has to tell him to wait until she says something. She never even asked the question yet.

  • This is absolute wonderful training. You and your beloved animal are amazing. Please do not listen to those who critique in a negative fashion.

    Great video and thank you for sharing this.

    God Bless

  • what is wrong with you guys its a smart dog doing good trickss what is so wrong with that?

  • The dog isn't responding to the actual number she's saying. Notice she gives him the treat immediately when he reaches the correct number of scratches. If she didn't stick the treat out to him, he would just keep on scratching. Impressive trick, though!

  • The dog has been trained to scratch until the owner moves to give a treat. Look up the horse Clever Hans.

  • disgusting - dogs are intelligent - and the fact you are demoting an intelligent animal to do dumb tricks is absolutely disrespectful - take him out in the mountains w/o a leash - let him be - let him sniff - treats for tricks?

  • The dog does seem to have very good mental thinking capacity, but its mind has been trained to focus on human smarts. He understands what the sequences of sound say he needs to do, but he cannot understand hte meaning of nembers. No dog I have ever met can truly understand numbers. Its like trying to explain to a toddler exactly what numbers are. I've tried it and its extreamly hard, much harder to explain it to an animal that can full understand language like humans. It is a smart dog, though.

  • Hes so smart!!! luv it.

  • I think it just recognises the sounds and remembers how many scratches to do to get a treat from the last time it heard '2+2' for example. If it had never heard 1+2 before, I doubt it could work it out. Still a smart dog though.

  • yeah seems plenty of people are talkin trash on this. Its cool but the dog is not.. I repeat IIISSSSS NOOOOOTTTT doing math in its head people!!! No more than Shrek is thinkin about what to say to Donkey on his own. And the video editing people are yappin about down that this girl is sayin she's "not good enough" to do... ya just put the vid in there where he/she did it right. lol Not disney crap either here, cmon.

  • your hot

  • this is the smartest dog ever!

  • sweeeeeet :D

  • Wow White Man Spesis Dog. This Spesis Type Of Dog Hard To Find In Asian Country Only Western Country. And One More. Why American Put Their Dog Inside Living Room.

  • I am not sure if you are asking why we put our dogs inside our house, but if you are, its because they are wonderful and can give love no matter how you look or act. They are no judgemental, which is more than most humans. They are true freinds. Just like people, dog owners turn to their dogs alot of hte time because they are always there and will love you no matter what you've done or said. Wonderful animals. Well, any animal is like that, even the most unlikely pet, but dogs expessialy.

  • Oooooh i just love it !!! oh my god she is soooo smart !!! Kisses from Jezebel and her dog moschino

  • about the almost invisible signals- no signals are used. i can let others ask her questions i've never taught her. no signals at all (even sat on my hands a couple of times to prove it. haha).

  • who sings the song in this video... I love it and I want it on my Ipod....

  • jack johnson's "sing-alongs and lullabies"

  • i'm her mom and trainer, how do you think she's doing the math...? b/c if you'd like to know, there is no rhyme or reason, i actually do not know how she does it. i trained a few problems and then she just picked it up on her own, weird, i know.

  • I read about teaching dogs to count. It uses subtle, almost invisible signals, to tell the dog when to stop. A horse used to do count like that with the audience's nods. They'd stop and cue the horse without even realizing it.

  • Yeah. I think if you put the trainer in a different room out of sight and sound, the dog won't be able to do the math.  It's still amazing what subtle things animals can pick up and learn.

  • Yeah, it is amazing. Animals are more intelligent then a lot of people give them credit for.

  • I'm just thinking there's no way a dog can do math...so i figured you put in audio after the video was shot. Like if she signaled "9" with her paw, you could just put in audio like "5+4" or "3x3"...but if you say she really does math, that is freaky. i never imagined a dog could think on that level...i know that dogs have unique senses that pick up on danger etc..but math? Your dog is very special and adorable.

  • i didn't "dub" (sp?) anything. i'm not even good enough on my computer to do that. haha.

  • If you watch your hand when the dog is giving the answer you see that your hand moves forward when the dog gets to the right answer. To the dog I would guess this it perceived the signal he/she can stop.

    To rule this out try doing the same test but wait several seconds and allow the dog to stop scraping the floor of his own accord.

  • The dog did seem to watch her hand and stop when her hand came forward. So i do agree with you

  • I could show a video of my dog dancin the Macarena if I shot the vid 99,999 times but only posted the one time that he did it right. DUH

  • Cool video. I think i figured out how she's doing the math. :) Sweet dog.

  • wow i'm impress

  • i love you :D u are really cute ^^
