And the pup in this video is a tiny professional with quite the work ethic. If you take a look through Dad&#8217;s TikTok (ramram_rambo), the amount of things Rambo can do is quite impressive. He hangs on Dad&#8217;s every word, and it&#8217;s so endearing. In this video he doesn&#8217;t show off much, it&#8217;s his eagerness that will get you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The impressive thing isn&#8217;t how many things this pup has been trained to do, it&#8217;s how in tune he is with his Dad &#8212; the way Rambo watches him and reacts to every word. They&#8217;ve been doing this a while, and it shows. By the time they actually launch into &#8220;If You&#8217;re Happy And You Know It,&#8221; the little guy is ready to show off his moves!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The video has been viewed by 4.7 million people who are in love with Rambo and his adorable routine. &#8220;I&#8217;m so happy watching this video,&#8221; wrote one viewer.

However, experts warn that you shouldn&#8217;t even think of attempting to train your pup to do anything advanced until they have all the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.countrylife.co.uk\/out-and-about\/dogs\/how-to-teach-a-dog-tricks-by-expert-trainer-ben-randall-250781\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:basics thoroughly understood;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">basics thoroughly understood<\/a>.

Short sessions with clear cues and consistent rewards matter more than people realize. When your dog&#8217;s attention wanes, it&#8217;s time to end the session.
