 I feel like it's gonna take a special type of person to sit down and watch a video like this. Just as much as I think it takes a special type of person to own a Chihuahua. Chihuahuas require a lot of patience, a lot of love. They're five pounds of just pure, delightful, stupid. I made a video a while back where I did nothing but try and teach Marvel how to sit on a hard surface because he will only sit on the carpet. And a lot of people have been asking me, how is that going? And to be honest with you, I've kind of given up a little bit. There's rare occasions where I've seen Marvel stand on his hind legs. I don't believe it. This, I literally have video footage of it. I just wanna see if I could teach my 11-year-old five-pound Chihuahua how to stand on his hind legs. He's got four pounds. Now he has like four pounds. Since adding a fourth dog to our mix, a very large dog, Iggy's already command a lot of attention. Bunny takes up a lot of our attention and time because she's still learning how to be a dog. It is really nice every once in a while to just give Marvel the one-on-one attention, personalized training that he deserves. Do you think he's gonna even understand the concept? No. You understand that the risk of making a video like this, just like the one where he had him sit. There's a possibility that this nothing's gonna happen. Let's just get everybody's expectations on the same page. Keep your expectations as low to the ground as Marvel can just keep them down there. I'm gonna try. I've seen him do it, which is why I know it is possible because I wouldn't want him to do something that like his body isn't physically capable of. I've seen him stand. Whoa. I told you. I literally have video footage of him standing. What kind of CGI artist did you have in your video? Although we might not get the results that we're looking for as people, the most important thing is that we're spending lovely one-on-one time with our little boy who deserves it. Oh my God. Okay, show us your sit. Show us how to, yes. 100% success rate. Hi, Marvel. I'm gonna teach you a new trick, okay, honey? I'm gonna teach you how to stand up, Marvel. My goal right now is just to get him to look up because it seems like all he wants to do is bury his face into the carpet and do cute things, which he already knows works very well on me. Okay, look up. Okay, that's not really what I'm looking for. I want you to look up. Okay, like I said in Marvel's sit video, he was my only dog for two years before I got Kermit. It took me an entire year to teach him how to sit. So I am no stranger to the amount of patience that it might take to teach him anything else. Come on, share. Follow the treat with your eyes. I don't know why you keep moving farther and farther away. Look up. Okay, up. Rubble up. Rubble up. Rubble up. Look up. Look up in the air. It's like everything that would possibly help him survive. He just suppresses because he'd just rather be cute. Rubble, it's food. Rubble, look up. Rubble. Rubble up. Yes, good boy, you can do it. Look, okay, I know it doesn't look like progress but that is huge progress. Rubble, look at me. Oh, good boy. Up. Oh, she's pissed. Hi, temper tantrum. Toddler. I'm gonna try a new approach. Since I'm just trying to get him to look up, I'll drop the treat once he looks up. Rubble. Up, rubble up. Rubble up. Up here. When you had to reward a dog for looking up in the air. Okay, rubble up. No, that was a good one. I think buddy's super jealous right now. You hear her? Mm-hmm. Up. Yes, that's good looking up. Beach. So she could get closer to the treats when you truly food-driven. Hey, it's not for you. Oh, buddy is so jealous right now. It's because they hear your cooing voice. He did a little jump. He did a jump? A little tiny jump. I think the trick is with him is that I do really have to like give the command and then give him five minutes to process. He needs a little while to think about it. Rubble, it's up here. Should I try it on the hardwood floor? Cause then he won't be inclined to just lay down on it. Maybe if we put him on the hardwood floor since we know he doesn't like to sit and lay on it, he'll actually stand. Those are good little jumps, honey. So I'm having a little more luck getting him to look up on the hardwood floor. Rubble up. Yeah, that's a good boy. Good job. Can we look up? Hey, that was something. Bunny's cheering from the other room. No, she wants treats. Let's just make really unpleasant noises so they think something not fun is happening. Let's jump. Julian, I don't think that that's helpful. Ah, ah, good. Oh yeah, he's preparing for a lift off. I know that one usually works on mommy. Good boy! Oh! Good boy! Houston? We have a lift off. He jumped. He jumped. I have a military-grade camera, so I couldn't capture that jump, but he jumped. Do you see? We have to get like the forward momentum and the excitement, and then he can jump up as he goes backwards. Okay, coming forward momentum, upward momentum. Forward momentum, upward. Yes, good boy! It's working. Yeah, he's light on his feet like Muhammad Ali. You see this guy move? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, guy, guy. Do you see, like, from the beginning? No, it's a huge difference. Well, because he wouldn't even look up. Letticism, the greatness. He's gonna be competing in- Good boy! Rubble! So mad right now. There's a full-on choir in the other room. You can do it. You can do anything you dream of, mumble. Someday we're gonna teach you how to jump up just like Peachy, and you'll fly from the ground into my arms. All right, I'm gonna work a little bit. Julian's gonna go console the other dogs that are having extreme jealousy of marble learning a new trick alone. Hi, crazy girl. Here you go, nasty boy. Case to cry, kids. Here you go, sweetheart. This is what you're asking for? Where you want attention? Well, we're having a little more success. Ladies and gentlemen, this is what an elite athlete looks like. Can you believe that? It's actually kind of unbelievable. Right? Like, he wouldn't even look up at a tree. It's like, see how you do it. Did you forget what we were doing? I know, sometimes that happens, huh? Yeah, sometimes I forget. I forget what I was doing. Yeah, I forget. What was the trick again? Here, mum, come on. Come on. Yes, good boy. How you doing? I'm just like mentally wasting away, but I'm good. I think it's worth it. That was fucking high, dude. Let's start. Come on, let's go. Yes, up, up, up, up. That was just a big accident. Are his feet leaving the ground? Yeah, his front ones are. Yeah, so, no, I don't need all of them. He has a threshold when he's gonna get bored and whatever, but I'm just gonna keep doing this for a little bit so that we can see if he... Because it's a grand finale. Has any progress or none whatsoever? Well, I mean, he's already made insane progress. And think of all the time that we get to spend it. Oh, good job. He just really enjoys this time and he deserves it because I feel like in a house full of hounds, you know, it's often just about the hounds and he needs his own little special. He needs some level time, huh? Good boy. Ready? Up, good boy. He's doing it like every time, huh? Ready, honey? Up, good boy. See, but if I keep holding it till he does it, he gets a little frustrated. Oh, good job. Up, up, up. He's like, but I gave you a big one, up. Do you think he has the balance to do that for more than like a second? No. Are you impressed with the jump or what? I'm super impressed. I honestly did not think he was gonna get to be jumping at home. He's jumping. He'll do it, like I said, in the wild. I mean, it's funny because usually you're trying to teach your dog to not do this, right? But for Marble, it's like, no, get in there, bud. Ready? Oh, good one. Up, good boy. This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. But for Marble, like, he really doesn't do anything, you know, so that little jump is a very, very large movement. This is 10 times more impressive than when you got him to sit. You think? Yeah, are you kidding? Good boy. Oh, he's so athletic. Look at it. Oh, yes, you dunk on him, Marble. I'm trying to get him to like stand, you know? Cool. I know you can't really do it that well, but I know you can a little bit. Good boy, oh, that was a big one. Well, also keep in mind when he did it at the place he had a leash on him. Yeah. So you can kind of tug on it and not fall. Can you, mama? You had a harness, huh? And it's dark out. Hey, you know what? Up. Wow, Marble. Yeah, wow, good job. Are you not impressed? He's 11 years old. Is this not just a metaphor for life? Like, it doesn't matter. Oh, yes! How far along in life you are, it's never too late just to learn how to stand on your own legs. Good. Up. Wow. Oh, God. You're impressive. He's... You think? He's so physically incapable of everything. I know. I know, honey, they're all jealous, but you know what? You're always such a good, quiet, sweet boy when they're getting trained too, huh? You're proud of yourself? Yeah, I'm actually really proud of myself. I mean, considering that I can teach him how to stand on his own two legs, you'd think I could teach him how to eat out of a bowl, but I can't. That would be the next video. I'm impressed that he no longer needs running head start here. Are you getting a little tired of this? Was that fun? Come here, mumbo. Yeah, I'm so proud of you. Are you proud of yourself? Two more bites of treat here in my hands if you want, honey. Come here. Grand finale, bud. Wow. 10 out of 10. You see, just because I'm little doesn't mean that I don't also like learning new tricks. I can do it. I can. I'm smart. I just need like several hours at a time. Yeah, but you know what's so cute about him is that he's really patient. Like after that whole time, like you know when you're training Kermit or other dogs that get really frustrated and then they just give up? Like he didn't give up. No, I think he's too stupid to give up. I'm not trying to be mean, but I actually think- He doesn't think there's other option. Yeah, and also I think like, you know when like frustration stacks up and then a dog will quit? Well, as the frustration stacks up for marbles, he forgets it, so it's like disappearing. Like I said, I know you have to be a certain type of person to watch a video like this and I think you have to be a certain type of person to make a video like this because it requires a lot of patience, but I'm so proud of you. Do you want me to let your brother and sisters out so you can dunk on them? Incoming. All right, all right, all right. Yes, we all know that you can stand on your timeline. Okay, let's see how long it takes you to learn. Oh, two seconds. That's what we're trying to teach you not to do. Look at these ones. Yes, we all, Marvel, that's you someday. You see this, Marvel? That's you someday. You got some out of it. That took Marvel hours to learn how to do. When you're really happy with your progress and then you log on to Instagram and see someone do it way better. God, that makes me feel so bad. Marvel, your progress is still huge, okay, honey? Marvel, out. Oh, Marvel, oh. See, that's why it's so nice to train him alone because this is what he does when all the hounds are out. Look it, that's what he does. Oh, bye. This is the saddest ending to any movie I've ever seen. You're really easy to train. You know that? Yes, you are. Look, banyup. Wow. Good girl. She looks like a person. She's like as tall as me. Yeah. Good girl, you cheated. Well, Marvel, I know that to some people it doesn't really seem that impressive and that this was really boring, but to me, bud, I'm so proud of you and I think that you're so brave and so smart. Yeah, I really do. Did you have a fun time? Yeah. What is going on? It's not about you for just like a little bit and then you just go full-blown feral. What's your deal? For the sake of making my dog happy, why don't we all just say, yay, Kermit, good job, Kermit, good job, Kermit. Good job. Good job. You did so good, Kermit. Wow, whoa. Kerm. What the heck? Why are you doing that? Huh? Give us a couple of good swims and we'll all applaud you, okay, so that you can feel special. We're all so impressed. Can you guys just lie to him in the comments and tell him how great you are? Kermit, you're doing great, sweetie. Can Marble stand on his hind legs? Kinda. Kinda. Yeah, I like how athletic you are. Pee-chee up. Okay, look, Marble, okay, we can't all be Pee-chee's in life, okay? Some of us have to be the Marbles and that's perfectly fine because what you lack in jumping and learning you make up for in affection and charisma, right? I don't think he understands any of this. He knows what charisma means. Do you know what charisma means? He's made out of it, look at him. Park if you know what charisma means. Hi! Thank you, honey. The athlete of our generation. Do you know who you are? Okay, don't ask him complicated questions. And we're back to being stupid. Hey, don't get mad at his athletic greatness, okay? No, that's not athletic greatness. Ew. Okay, all right, now he's dead. That's like a water bowl. Squish your goblin body in there. All right, perfect. You gotta step on it. Oh, God. Oh, cut. Just in case you guys are ever wondering what happens after we're done filming, it's just this. All right, fine. Subscribe for more on Patreon. Your feet pics, not mine, yeah.
