Dog owners are responsible for the happiness and health of their fur friends. But along with their physical wellness, it is also vital for dog owners to train their dogs to understand some commands – essential commands like down, sit, stay, leave it, and come.

Teaching your dog to obey commands not only makes it easier for you to raise them but also keeps your pups from feeling stressed in certain situations. Many dog owners have taught their dogs some basic tricks, but some owners decided to go beyond that. And that’s exactly what one fur dad decided to do with his German Shepherd named Sam.

German Shepherds are smart pups and are known to be courageous, loyal, and strong, which makes them excellent military and service dogs. And as house pets, they can be a loving and protective companion in the family. Sam’s dad knows that she is a very smart dog, and he wants the world to see just how smart and funny she can be.

So he decided to film Sam doing the tricks he taught her and share the video online. In the video, the pup could be seen sitting patiently as she waits for her dad’s commands. Sam gets excited whenever her dad tells her to do tricks because, at the end of her performance, she will be rewarded with a treat.

First, her dad tells her to sit, which she quickly does, but Sam even went a little extra by raising her front paws and sitting on her back legs. When her dad tells her to stay, Sam immediately placed all her paws on the floor. But Sam continued to look to her father in anticipation of the last command he would say.

Finally, with a loud voice, Sam’s dad says, “bang,” and Sam quickly went into action. She lets out a fake cry and spins to the floor, acting as if she was shot. Then for the dramatic ending, Sam lays flat on her back with her belly exposed in an attempt to appear dead. After the brilliant acting, Sam’s dad exclaims “good girl” and proceeds to give her a treat.

Many people who saw Sam’s video on the internet were very much impressed by her skills. Many wrote comments of commendations, and one person even named Sam as the Oscar winner! Watch the video for yourself to see Sam’s brilliant acting!
