When babies reach certain milestones, it’s common for their parents to take a moment to celebrate. But if you’ve ever had a pet of your own, you know that the same is true for our four-legged friends as well! Part of the reason why is because, as a pet like a dog grows up, there’s so much for them to learn and explore. For Tim Cooke’s golden retriever puppy, Barley, this included learning how to jump on the bed. As much as Tim wanted Barley to join him on the bed, this sweet pup couldn’t quite figure it out.
Whenever you’re teaching someone how to do something new, patience is key. This is true of both humans and our animal friends. This is clearly the mindset Tim has as he demonstrates how to jump on the bed, emphasizing that Barley needs to use his hind legs. Or, as Time explains it, Barley needs to use his legs not his arms. It takes quite a few tries but, once he’s able to do it, the celebration begins!
