It’s the holiday season which means it’s time to binge watch funny and adorable Christmas videos on YouTube. “A Doggy Christmas Surprise” is a Christmas classic with over 15 million views, and for a good reason — it’s amazing.
In the viral video, eight dogs are left alone in a Budapest apartment. As soon as the door closes, they all get to work and begin to decorate the Christmas tree.
“Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” is the soundtrack tune for the adorable three-minute video and it’s one of the most creative projects we’ve seen in a long time. First, one dog heads into the living room and begins folding up a rug.
Next, it’s time to ‘hang’ the ornaments. One of the pups runs to the Christmas decorations and grabs a box of ornaments for the tree. With a little bit of camera magic, the ornaments are perfectly placed on the branches.
After a few ornaments are hung, another dog brings over a ladder to string the garland around the tree.
Once the Christmas tree is looking festive and fabulous, the obedient and smart pups complete the holiday set-up by bringing over presents to place underneath. One by one, the dogs nudge a beautifully wrapped gift underneath the bottom branches. Finally, there’s only one thing left — the lights!
There’s no doubt that the video is amazing, but it left people wondering how on earth they were able to train the dogs so perfectly and precisely. The trainer for the dogs, Nora Vamosi-Nagy, told The Bark that she used the Mirror Method to train the dogs.
The dogs belong to a group that performs choreographed acts at public events. They are so well-trained, it only took six hours to shoot the entire video.
“We didn’t practice at all for the video shooting. But the dogs knew everything. They understood all the words; they understood to go forward, to bring this, to put that there. It wasn’t difficult at all. In six hours, we shot all the material,” Vamosi-Nagy told The Bark.
The video was filmed in Hungary where Vamosi-Nagy says she was getting a lot of criticism for the video. However, once it was uploaded to YouTube, the response showed that people were absolutely in love with the adorable and creative idea.
Most people would expect a giant mess when leaving dogs alone with shiny Christmas decorations. Not with these impeccably trained pups!
“Christmas Doggy Surprise” is absolutely adorable. It’s the perfect way to not only get in the Christmas spirit, but you’ll get your “cute dog fix” too.
