I would pay SO MUCH MONEY for this dog



Pretty bad ass indeed. Dogs are literally one of the coolest things on the planet, and this one just takes it to a whole new level.
 
I heard that the most fierce dogs on this planet are in Mongolia. Genghis Khan had an army of that breed. They are very loyal and would kill anyone who they deem to be enemies to their masters.
 
Not as good as this parkour goat.

Yeah it's cool but I wonder how many injuries that dog sustained learning all of that. Cool as it is I call animal abuse. Dogs should not be enslaved like this.

Unfortunately this is probably true.
Although he does look happy doing all that stuff. Some extremely active breeds would rather work all day than sit around and be a "pet". All depends on how it is raised
 
...alright I have never had a dog but...how the hell do you train a dog to jump on a wall and then jump on something else? This blows my mind.
 
The best part was the jump at 2:45 when he's in the air and throws his body off to the side for a little twist before landing. It's as though he knows he has an audience and is trying to impress.

By the owner repeating the moves. Dogs learn by observing the same action over and over again. No doubt the dog was watching the owner jump from object to object.

It's a "Pit Bull," and they love this type of stuff. They are full of energy and excel in these types of "games." I'm always happy to see people training their dogs like this, rather than sticking them in the backyard and never socializing them, which eventually leads to an attack of some sort.

Bully breeds are great dogs and, as long as they're properly socialized, are great with other dogs. Unfortunately, there's too many idiots who get these dogs for the wrong reasons. Fighting, looking tough, etc. -- they always cause more problems for responsible owners.

The guy who trained this dog appears to do this out of love, not ego. This dog definitely enjoys what he's doing. You can see it in his face (smiling. Yes, dogs do smile).

Time and patience. Depending on the breed, you can teach dogs just about anything. Bully breeds are capable of jumping fences, climbing trees and pulling heavy objects. They have the bodies and energy to do so. The video clearly shows that the owner took a lot of time to teach his dog this stuff and clearly his dog is well socialized, which means he most likely participates in group activities.

Dogs are no different than people. Some will be lazier, yet more "cuddly" with their owners, whereas others would be great bomb detectors, drug sniffing dogs, search and rescue, or even rehab dogs. In fact, all of the above can be said about American Pit Bull Terriers or Staffordshire Terriers, which is what this dog is.
 
Also note that there is music in the video, which means the owner COULD be shouting commands to the dog. Although it is more likely that the dog learned a routine from watching his owner do it, and then repeats it in the same pattern.
 
Gotta have a dog that's crazy nuts about it's toy. Then you can train it to do cool shit.

That's how dock dogs are trained, you get them pumped about their toy, then get them running and when they get close you toss it and they don't have time to think about jumping they just follow the toy into the water.

Obviously that awesome dog in the video has had lots of training, probably jumping off the wall for the toy, then jumping over something, then tell it to jump off the wall and over something, etc practice. You can see he's using a ball in a few of the jump shots to jump over stuff.

Used to take jump shots of my dogs jumping off the couch, never thought about doing it off cool shit though.
