Let’s be honest, some of the least exciting work that must be done around the house is chores, especially laundry. Some people will do anything to avoid dealing with the inevitable build up of dirty clothes, even waiting until they’re down to the last clean pair of underwear. In this day and age there are numerous available products designed to automatically clean various things. Showers and bathtubs can be made spic and span after each use by disinfectant misted on via an automatic sensor.
Dirty floors can be vacuumed spotless with the help of robotic gadgets, like the Roomba. And now, one ingenious dog owner has found a way to get laundry done with the least amount of effort possible. Man’s best friend has been trained to assist with the task, taking it from menial to exciting!
Baron, a clever German Shepherd, was taught all the skills needed for loading clothes into a washing machine. Footage shows him reaching into a basket and picking up articles of clothing with his teeth. He the gets up on his hind legs and places his front paws on the washer to steady himself before dropping the clothing into the machine. Baron happily repeats the process until the basket is empty and all the clothes are in. All the while he wears a big puppy smile and seems to take pride in his work.
The intelligent dog has been professionally trained, at the Hill Country K9 school in California, to do a number of other tricks and chores. Notably, he has also been delegated the task of loading the dishwasher. After his owner rinses the dishes he grabs one from the sink with his teeth, transfers it to the washer, and expertly loads them all in.
Another job Baron excels at is being a personal trainer. Videos show him performing lunges, step aerobics and even canine style push ups alongside his owner. It seems like there is no limit to this dog’s abilities and it feels good seeing him so happy to be working. Check out the video to witness his skills in action. It may just inspire you to train your dog to help with the housework!
