  • AWWWW, Vinny is soooo cute. I wish my dog maggie could be trained like that. Every body who saw this video better put a thumbs up because this dogs got so much talent.

  • <3 the Vinny in a Blanket! :)

  • Hi awsome job at training him please sub me back

  • Que bonito que es

  • he is so cute!!! aww i love his face!!! aww great training !! the tricks are awesome :)

  • Vinny is so cute, and is very talented! I adopted my now 6 month old German Shepherd Dog puppy, Riley! I have big plans for her! She's perfect for me in so many ways!! I just wanted say he looks like a Corgi Chihuahua mix imo! Anyways, you did a great job with him, and I look forward to many more videos of you and Vinny!!!

  • omg.......what a smart dog

  • Awww, so cute!! How do you teach him to do crate? And Say sorry

  • oh! so cute. I want that dog,,,,I am a dog lover and I have 3 dogs...God bless Vinny and you too....

  • @MusicLoversUtd Thank you for watching our video. I paid an adoption fee for Vinny - this fee went towards his neuter, licensing, microchipping, and vaccinations. I would never purchase a dog when there are so many looking for homes!

  • @senseiJB2001 Thanks for watching!

  • I had my shelter dog for over 17yrs ... what a great schnauzer he was ... amazing adopted dogs ... they seem to give back so very much <3 Love your Vinnie too

  • @elli0grn08 Wow, that is great. So happy that you were able to give him such a long life filled with love. I do agree, they probably give us so much more than what we give them!

  • This perfectly illustrates that there are no bad dogs, only bad owners. Dogs respond to kindness, attention, love and patience, good food and exercise. Dogs that have a balanced life will be healthy and happy. Look at his little tail going non-stop. He rocks!

  • @coubotand I couldn't agree with you more, thank you!

  • Inspired to teach Logan some new tricks!

  • @Pettagcreations Glad to hear that we've inspired you. Good luck and have fun training!

  • Your dog would make an amazing Therapy Dog :) Love your Vinny videos, amazing :)

  • @cass182007 Thanks for watching & commenting!

  • Absolutely amazing. The dog's a genius and so happy and the owner a savior and dedicated. This pair could win world's most talented pets.

  • @GB390 Aww, thank you for your kind words.

  • This is amazing.(: I love how his tail is always wagging.

  • I give Props to the Owner/Trainer who Rescued this Remarkably Smart and gifted Dog!! I absolutely Loved it!!

  • @frankieloves1 Thanks for watching!

  • He is soooo adorable. I LOVE how his tail never stops wagging

  • @CRL4LIFE His tail definitely seems to always be wagging, haha. This is completely different than how he acted at the shelter, as you can imagine :)

  • Vinny is so smart! It is so hard to believe that he was rescued. Love his wagging tail. :)

  • @newbear95 Thank you!

  • I love it. Your dog is so cute and make my heart melt. I missed my dog and he was 14 and 3 months old and died of illness and stroke. He knows 5 tricks. He is an American Toy Fox Terrier. You can check it on the google and my dog happen to be DWARF. Thanks for sharing with us. Its awesome. THANKS!

  • @Rockmangames I will check your dog out. So sorry to hear about your loss :(

  • @ShelterMuttLover

    Thank you. I am sorry to say "DWARF". It is not correct. My dog happens to be MIDGET because An American Toy Fox Terrier is a little bigger than my dog. He was midget, by the way. I will have same one in the future but right now. I am still mourn and still think about him since Dec 26 2010. He is my loved forever! I have video of him when he was puppy and pics.. Oh boy, what a memorized.

  • Wow, what a fantastic dog. Very Cute. Did you train him yourself or send him to a school.  Those tricks are great.

  • @RustyNinja I trained him myself and I am self-taught. We've never taken any classes.

  • brilliant :O

  • @anandodasgupta Thank you :)

  • Amazing videos! thanks so much, I have two rescued dogs myself and I love training them!

  • @TheCowgirrl03 So happy to hear that you rescued your pup - rescued pets are THE BEST, even those with behavior quirks like Vinny ;)

  • Vinny is such an amazing dog in every way! And does he ever stop wagging that happy tail LOL??

  • @puggykisses Thank you for the comment :) His tail is always a-waggin ;)

  • This is so spectacular and it actually brings tears to my eyes to read Vinnie's story.

    He is sooo blessed to have been adopted by you. I have shared this once again on my Facebook profile.

  • Haha Hand's Up was hilarious! I loved the blooper's, that was really cute.

  • @mshobohorse Thanks for watching!!

    Good on you for adopting too... both our babies (dogs that is) are adopted.

  • @ninapaget2010 He is definitely happy to be 'working'. So glad to hear that you rescued your dogs!

  • I've shared this on Facebook and have watched it three times have enjoyed it thoroughly each time. It is sooo adorable!

  • @PKStefanini Thank you so much for sharing. Hopefully we can inspire more people to work with their dogs & adopt!

  • Wow, look at his tail wag!

  • @NayNaybeluga He's probably the happiest when he's 'working' :)

  • This video was such fun to watch. Your dog is spectacular. He is so happy looking and smart! Thanks for sharing.

  • @PKStefanini Thank you for watching!

  • Awww what a sweetheart. He's so happy!

  • @grytlappar Vinny definitely LOVES to work! :) 

  • that is soooooo amazing! <3

  • @mypetsrockyeah Thank you :)

  • What a beautiful boy! Thanks for directing me to the vid from DP. He is so smart and great at his tricks, but the best part of it is how happy he looks while he's doing it! If I didn't already have a rescue dog and know how wonderful they are, this would convince me. :-)

  • @shortysax Thank you so much for watching !

  • Wow, he is SO gorgeous and SO talented!!!! :) You are an angel for saving him. <3

  • @brunetterr Thank you for watching!!

  • You are an excellent trainer - You can tell this is a very happy dog just by looking at him. Congratulations!

  • @MegaCalabash Thank you so much for your comments!

  • That was just heart warming to see.

  • @Chole154 :) Thanks for watching !!

  • he never stops wagging his tail...

  • @sickbxy He's a happy boy :)

  • ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I REALIZE THIS IS EXCELLENT TRAINING, BUT TO ME IT SHOWS WHAT A LOT OF LOVE AND BEING A GREAT MOM MEANS TO THIS LITTLE DOG! WHAT AGRESSIVE ISSUES? I SEE HIM BEING AGRESSIVE IF SOMEONE CAME AFTER HIS MOM, BUT THAT'S IT! GREAT JOB!

  • @DWIENFORCER Thank you. He has truly come a long way from how he used to be w/ his dog aggression issues. He used to be uncontrollable on walks & I never thought he'd ever be able to coexist with another dog, but he's doing it right now!

  • I love Vinny! Are you in Florida, if so where? I want dog training lessons from you!

  • @nancylpr Thank you :) We're in southern California.

  • oh wow, this is awesome - so glad you saw through his "problem" - the only problem he had was that he didn't have love and his state of mind was inactive!!! You two must be quite the pair lol - am sharing this for sure!!!

  • @HeathersCritters Thank you so much for your kind words & support !

  • Yay, Vinny! He's adorable. Love this little guy.

  • @LisaBaby67 Thank you! 

  • Thank you for sharing him with us!

  • @billyboy638 Thanks for watching!

  • That is amazing!!!!!!!!! you must be reallt talented and you look like you have a really great dog

  • @rukarukakaykay He has truly *become* a wonderful dog & companion :) Thanks!

  • wow what an amazing dog you must be a good trainer

  • @imaEw0k He's a fantastic student :)

  • WOWOWOWOWOWOW! Can't decide who's luckier...Vinny or you!!! Thank you for sharing him with us!

  • @MaryinFlorida2 Thank you so much for watching & commenting!

  • Fantastic! A trained dog is a happy dog. Little Vinny's tail never stopped wagging!

  • @maznzeea I totally agree - a trained dog is a happy, well-behaved, balanced, confident dog ! 

  • He's amazing!!!

  • @shadoesoul Thank you :)

  • Hands up is my fav! Fabulous work, both of you!

  • @sabumitz Thanks!!

  • That was incredible. Great job! My two dogs were adopted too, one was in a kill shelter. They are total joys in my life.

  • @jeverhart99 Thank you so much for choosing to rescue!

  • That dog is a cutie, but you are an amazing trainer. I'll buy your first book or video!! Just wonderful. I recently adopted a ChiXRat Terrier and was running out of ideas of what to teach him. Now using your Vinny videos for ideas. Radar thanks you for the variety!! Keep these videos coming...and Ya'll adopt...the shelters are full of geniuses like Vinny and Radar!!

  • @hughecat Thank you! I'm glad our videos inspired you to try out some new tricks. I always look at other people's videos to search for new, potential tricks too!

  • I LOVE VINNY! I'm so glad you found this brilliant & gorgeous dog at the shelter & saved him! What a waste if you hadn't. Thanks for showcasing his amazing tricks so others can see that shelter dogs/mutts are not throw away dogs & are worth being loved! Just because someone else was too ignorant to appreciate him doesn't mean he isn't worth being appreciated! 

  • @510robyn You are 100% right, and thank you so much for watching & commenting!

  • Vinny is AMAZING!!! My favorite is also the "Vinny in a blanket" trick. His coat looks really shiny- he seems a lot healthier and happier compared to the picture from the pound. Just goes to show you can't judge a book (or it's potential) by its cover :P

  • @farley939 Vinny's favorite Aunt <3 Thank you for always being such a proud, loving supporter. I think one of his favorite hobbies is kissing you ;) 

  • Thank you. Good luck to you and a happy life with Vinny.

  • @180grainer Thank you for your thoughtful comment :)

  • WOOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!! GO VINNY!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS!!!! What a clever, clever dog! (and trainer!) Great handstand!! (and the hop is just too cute!) These are all so great!! awww... when he covers himself in the blanket... he's adorable!! I'm going to share this on Jasmine's Facebook! (If you're on FB, add us- C.J. and'Jasmine ) =)

    FANTASTIC JOB!!!!! =)

  • @MyFavoritePupJasmine Thank you so much for watching & commenting! I use FB as an animal rescue networking tool but can definitely add you. If the posts become too much though, feel free to hide them.

  • I love his little "hands up" face :) his tail never stops wagging 

  • @sugrrwergoindn Thanks for commenting ;)

  • nothing this can't do is there? :)

  • @SeriousSoccerPlayer As always, thanks for watching!

  • @ShelterMuttLover As always, my pleasure!

  • I givwe him 5 stars just for the tail wagging!! Great stuff!

  • @EDUCACIONMORECAN Thank you !!!

  • Bravo! Greetingd from Poland:)

  • @jazzfanka1 Thanks!

  • Omg I lovvvveeee it. You're an amazing dog trainer, I've honestly never seen a dog perform tricks like that with such focus, happiness and patience before. Even my dog doesn't focus that much. She does this whole "I'm shy, I don't wanna focus, bark what?!" when I try to train her haha. :) Anyway, Vinny is SUPER cute. I'm curious as to what he's mixed with still. (o: Thanks for uploading! ^^

  • @Kitsunegirl1212 Thank you so much for watching!! Being able to get eye contact & focus from Vinny has been the main component of curbing his dog aggression.

  • Wow Vinny is so smart and absolutely adorable! I melted at the end when he hugged you. I love my "girls" so much. They are all rescues either by me or someone else. Shelter/Rescue dogs ROCK!!

  • @luloops I always appreciate your kind words & support. Thank you thank you!!!

  • WOW you and Vinny are amazing!! That was the best dog handstand i've seen and the hands up trick was so cute I can't stand it. Loved it all...way to go Vinny!

  • @BBTricksters Thank you so much for watching & commenting !! It takes him awhile to 'warm up' to doing a consistent, walking handstand but once he does, he's pretty good !

  • omg...i love vinny and he isn't even my dog^^he is absolutely lovely...i wish i could train my dog a handstand..for small dogs its easy..do you think a german shepherd(17mo)could learn that?

  • @thewhitewingedwolf Aww, Vinny & I say thank you!! I think it's easier for little dogs to learn how to do a handstand, but I've seen several medium-large breed dogs do it so it might be worth a try! Just make sure your pup is safe & doesn't hurt him/herself.

  • Aww, cute! I think shelter dogs are the best:) I don't think I could ever purchase a dog from even a good breeder knowing how many GREAT dogs are in need of a second (or third, or fourth...) chance!

  • @weirdness281 Thank you, I think so too !! I could never support a breeder or pet store either when I know there are millions of awesome pets being killed in shelters. I always like to say that if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem ;)

  • hands up is soo cute!!

  • @SpotSwims Thank you. His legs are so short, it's hard for him to keep his balance!

  • Vinny is always so happy! His tail wouldn't stop wagging! I love his handstand, the bloopers and the shake the toy! :) My chihuahua will shake a towel on cue. :)

  • @newbear95 Thanks so much for watching & commenting. I always look forward to watching your little Chihuahua's tricks !

  • You go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @MagicHammerOfficial Thank you! 

  • The COOLEST dog ever. Why can't I be that lucky! X-)

  • @masterwill51889 Thanks for watching :)

  • awesome job working with him! I too have rescued a dog,she is finally coming around,being more social and all,shes a chihuahua,and I am guessing shes 5 or 6.also Vinny is cute!

  • @jaguarlover21 Thank you so much for commenting & choosing to rescue your Chihuahua! Rescuing a dog is definitely a life-changing experience, both for the owner AND the dog :)

  • @ShelterMuttLover welcome,and yea it is a rewarding experience.I promised after the death of my beloved terrier mix that I would only rescue dogs,and I am sticking with that

  • @jaguarlover21 Definitely a rewarding, life-changing experience :)

  • Very, very nice work! Love that wagging tail!

  • @clickertrickdog Thank you :)

  • AMAZING job you have done with Vinny! You both truly are an inspiration! If this doesn't convince people that purebreds aren't the only type of dogs who can do tricks and other cool things, I don't know what will. Thanks so much for sharing! :)

  • @LeoxPomeranian I always appreciate your kind words & support. Thank you so much!

  • Vinny is soo AMAZING! How do you teach him to do all of this stuff?

  • @squirtluver Thanks so much for commenting. He's a very quick learner but we practice as much as we can. Many of his tricks were 'natural' behaviors that I captured - for example, if he and I were playing tug-of-war with a toy, I would praise him for doing it & have him learn it as a command. The same 'tug' command was then used to have him untie my shoelaces & pull off my socks!

  • He is lucky to have found you, he is vey attentive!

  • @mydogstube Yes, he's very attentive now. Trick & obedience training has really helped me get his focus around other dogs!

  • Wow! Fantastic tricks! That handstand was amazing! aww his tail is wagging the whole time! Looks like he has so much fun! haha love the hands up! Gonna favourite this! =)

  • @JessieTheJack Thanks so much for watching!!!

  • amazing dog

  • @abstractora Thanks!!

  • OH FOR PETE'S SAKE! He is ridiculously cute and so smart. I love how training that's fun for dogs unearths these little gems!

  • @mipawsitivestart Thank you. He usually LOVES training time !
