Watch these talking dogs on TikTok
On Wednesday (May 12th), a TikTok user called @siriuslysalem uploaded a video where she showed off the impressive tricks that her two dogs can do.
Some of the tricks they do include ‘throw hands’, ‘spin’, ‘twirl’, ‘limp’, ‘wave’, ‘smile’, but there are some that have caught everyone’s attention.
The TikTok user has taught the Golden Retriever and black and brown mutt to talk! Well, not actually with words.
But, the two pooches can do a trick she calls ‘talk s***’, which involves a deep growl, and ‘whisper’, which is a quiet whimper.
Tricks like ‘sit’ and ‘roll over’ are pretty common amongst dog owners, but not many people can teach their dogs verbal tricks, which makes the video really impressive.
Meet Sirius and Salem
The TikTok account @siriuslysalem follows the whereabouts of two dogs, a five-year-old Golden Retriever called Sirius and a three-year-old mutt called Salem.
Sirius is named after the character from Harry Potter, and Salem gained his name from the Salem Witch Trials.
Their owner Lexx has taught them a huge 30 to 55 commands in total, and they know far more than the usual ‘sit’ and ‘lie down’ that you’d expect from a pet.
Lexx lives with the dogs in Las Vegas and has accumulated a huge 1.2 million followers on TikTok since starting the account back in September 2019.
She also has a YouTube channel called Siriusly Salem where she posts tutorials on how to train your dog.
