Dogs are smart when they want their owner’s attention. To provide an apt example, this Instagram video shows how a Doberman named Arlo seeks his grandma’s attention when he needs scratches. He even trains the lady in five steps to give proper scratches. In the caption, the uploader quipped, “Enjoy your newly trained Grandma—results may vary.”
Instagram video shows how Doberman teaches grandma the right way to scratch him
In a hilarious video on Instagram, a Doberman named Arlo teaches his grandma the right way to scratch him. The clip begins with the pet and dog grandmother sitting on a couch while the owner seems to be recording the moment. As per the first step on “How to Train Your Grandma,” Arlo stares into “her soul.”
When that doesn’t work, he proceeds to the next step, “Slap the air like you just don’t care.” He moves his left front paw up and down heavily, which gives him loving scratches from grandma. Arlo doesn’t want her to stop, so he implements the third step, making it “personal” with a “side eye.” He makes a similar gesture with his paw and gives a side eye to his grandma to earn more scratches.
Arlo looks proud as an on-video line reads, “That’s the ticket!” Further, the grandmom stops petting her for a while as she concentrates on her device. This makes the dog jump to the fourth step— “The ‘Slap and Judge’ —make your face say it all.” After succeeding in enjoying grandma’s attention, he moves to the final step. Now, he waves his paws and ignores the old lady, who again obliges to give proper scratches to the pet. At the end, the video mentions that the training has been completed.
Meanwhile, viewers have gone gaga over Arlo’s antics in the clip. A user wrote, “She loves her grandfurbboy and Arlo knows it lol,” while another stated, “He is so gorgeous. Love how they connect with their hooman.” Many called the dog “cute,” “smart,” and “funny.” Since the upload, the Doberman train scratches video has received over 15K likes.
