Maltipoos are so incredibly cute, and when their adorable, expressive faces are so attentive, it just makes them even more so. And the pup in this video is a tiny professional with quite the work ethic. If you take a look through Dad’s TikTok (ramram_rambo), the amount of things Rambo can do is quite impressive. He hangs on Dad’s every word, and it’s so endearing. In this video he doesn’t show off much, it’s his eagerness that will get you.
The impressive thing isn’t how many things this pup has been trained to do, it’s how in tune he is with his Dad — the way Rambo watches him and reacts to every word. They’ve been doing this a while, and it shows. By the time they actually launch into “If You’re Happy And You Know It,” the little guy is ready to show off his moves!
The video has been viewed by 4.7 million people who are in love with Rambo and his adorable routine. “I’m so happy watching this video,” wrote one viewer. Another said, “Such a cheerful and polite dog.”
So, You Want To Teach Your Dog Some New Tricks…

Teaching your pup tricks is a fantastic way to spend some time together, bond, and hopefully you’ll come out of it with some cool new tricks to show off to your friends and family. However, experts warn that you shouldn’t even think of attempting to train your pup to do anything advanced until they have all the basics thoroughly understood. Sit, stay, come, heel, down, leave it, heel-they can be boring, but they give you the command, structure, and language that make everything else possible.
Once those foundations are solidly in place, you can move on to the fun tricks, and those fun tricks will stop being “tricks” and start becoming conversations between you and your pup. Short sessions with clear cues and consistent rewards matter more than people realize. When your dog’s attention wanes, it’s time to end the session. You’re not just teaching behaviors-you’re building confidence and a bond. You’re putting all of that at risk with an overly long session and an unwilling participant.

Eventually, you and your dog will find that you’ve acquired a shared rhythm just like Rambo and his Dad, and that’s an amazing thing, and something you’ll truly cherish. It makes all the work worthwhile.
