Is fluffy fed-up with playing fetch?
Has Max maxed out his limit on chasing the little red dot? Is Fido fine with waiting for you get chase after your own frisbee? Maybe it’s time to teach your pup a new trick. After all, who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
This one seems to be learning just fine:
Ignoring the feeble frenzy above, you can actually teach your old dog a new game to play. “What is this game?” you may ask: the age old classic game of patty cake (my sources at the almighty Wikipedia tell me it’s pat-a-cake, but that’s just wrong).
You may be surprised to hear that it’s surprisingly easy to teach your dog to clap his hands with yours. Dogs are getting increasingly better at mimicking human behavior. Whether it’s teaching Buffy to say, “I love you,” or telling Trixie how to walk on her hind legs, dogs are quickly becoming more human by the day.
This new patty cake trend is no exception. What is beginning with clapping and slapping may one day turn into a full-on Broadway production, complete with tap dancing and singing.
But until that day arrives, watch This Doggie Play Patty Cake With His Owner:
