Watch how this dog teaches his younger brother to 'Sit'
When two dogs know that there are treats at stake, it's amazing what they will do to master all the tricks you teach them!
Parents know that it is often easier to get one child to co-operate if they see their older siblings doing the same. One won't eat vegetables? They will if their older brother or sister does!

And it turns out that the same logic can be applied to teaching your dogs tricks. In this video, big brother Rufus teaches Jet how to sit in the cutest way!

Rufus (who is 16 months old) knows that his younger brother Jet (who is four months old) does not yet know what 'Sit' means, so he uses his paw to gently push Jet down onto his haunches.
The reward that each of them gets every time they successfully follow their owner Robin Baldwin's command should soon teach Jet that 'Sit' is a good thing. And the way Rufus makes an effort to get his younger brother on the right track is surely an indication of how strong their bond will become over the years!
Have your pets ever helped each other to get the tricks you teach them right?
