This Dog Can Play Jenga and Do a Ton of Other Things like a Boss

Are you ready to meet one of the most interesting dogs in the world?

Secret is a dog that is better than me in many ways. Hey, there’s no shame in admitting the truth, right? She is a true Renaissance Dog, if you will…

Let’s take a look at all the things that Secret can do (probably better than a lot of us humans).

1. First of all, Jenga

I started teaching Secret Jenga a little while ago, and she's finally getting the hang of it?♥️ She really enjoys games that require precision like this, so we've been having a lot of fun with it!?

Here's a clip of my little goofball learning to drum with me this afternoon!?❤? As you can see behind us, our family just got a big electric drum set so hopefully we can work up to drumming on that! ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Follow my Pawtners @marvelous_marble_ @bluebearaussie @lilly.the.aussie

4. Sled master

Just arrived in Iowa for the Christmas holidays!?❤️ We haven't been doing much but playing outside since we arrived!? This was Secrets first time sledding on her own, she loves skateboarding and I think this felt very similar to her!?? She really seems to enjoy it!? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Follow my Pawtners @lilly.the.aussie @bluebearaussie @aussie.dream

5. Painting

"The joy of painting, by Dog Ross"? A mountain sunset on the water!?? We've been working on targeted painting recently (teaching her to follow cues from me moving a target stick to create a specific picture), after being inspired by @omarvonmuller 's amazing dog Jumpy!?? It's been a lot harder than I expected, but her accuracy has improved so much from when we started a couple weeks ago! Can't wait to attempt letters/words! #DogRoss #Thejoyofpainting ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Follow my Pawtners @bluebearaussie @marvelous_marble_

6. Dancing

Back paw cross paws?❤ I get so crazy proud of Secret every time we work on this, it has easily taken the longest of any trick we have attempted so far for her to get the hang of, we have been working on it on and off for months now to get to this point??? I really did not expect her to be able to do this when we first started trying, it is obviously a hard one for her to do physically, and she had to learn a lot of new balance. We're working on doing this with her front paws on my hands instead of the pole eventually?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Follow my Pawtners @lilly.the.aussie @bluebearaussie

7. Vacuuming

View this post on Instagram

Learning how to work the vacuum?❤ It's been pretty hard for her to learn to push it back and forward, but she's come a long way with it! This was the very end of this training session, so she's going pretty slow since she's getting tired, but also because it's really hard for her to push and pull it with the suction, I think she gets quite a workout!?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Follow my Pawtners @lilly.the.aussie @bluebearaussie

8. Pushing the swing

Secret trying her hardest to push me on the swing?❤ I love the little hops she was incorporating??? She only started learning to push me recently, but being pushed by her now already feels so much smoother compared to when we first gave it a go, it's actually becoming quite enjoyable?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Follow my Pawtners @borderaussiebodey @sassyandsila @lilly.the.aussie @bluebearaussie

9. Ping pong

View this post on Instagram

We've been playing a lot of dog version ping pong here since my relatives have a ton of ping pong equipment? Secret has been really into it, especially since it's getting to be to hot to do much of anything outside. lol she has such a look of focus on her face? I think 11 back and fourth might be our new record of how many times we can hit it back and fourth before one of us hits it way off course??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Follow my Pawtners @borderaussiebodey @sassyandsila @lilly.the.aussie @bluebearaussie

10. Scooting along

View this post on Instagram

Secret has improved her scooting so much since we started it?? I'm really proud of how she's learned to balance on it all by herself, it was impossible for her to do for so long? Love how she breaks at the end ? she can be so quick to pick up on how things work at times?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Follow my Pawtners @borderaussiebodey @sassyandsila @lilly.the.aussie @bluebearaussie

11. Jumping rope

View this post on Instagram

We got a jump rope the other day, so if course I had to start teaching Secret to do it with me? its so tricky to time it right? but it's great because the rope doubles as one of her new favorite toys, so as a reward I just throw it for her and play tug!?❤? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Follow my Pawtners @borderaussiebodey @sassyandsila @lilly.the.aussie @bluebearaussie

12. Playing piano

Some piano after our hike today? My awesome best friend suggested I teach her to flip the piano sheet pages, so we've been working on it, and just started putting it together with some playing?❤ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Follow my Pawtners @borderaussiebodey @sassyandsila @lilly.the.aussie @bluebearaussie

Secret learning to jam on the guitar today!?❤ One more instrument down!? I originally tried to teach her with a ukulele instead, but as always Secret wanted the big one??❤

14. Mopping

View this post on Instagram

This week Secret learned how to mop!? Secret adores mopping, she was so excited she bounced into it?❤ I think she likes it even better than vacuuming or sweeping, probably because she loves going in circles..?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Follow my Pawtners @bluebearaussie @marvelous_marble_

15. Organizing

View this post on Instagram

Such a little helper?❤ She's known how to empty the dryer and put the clothes away in the drawers since she was a puppy, but I just taught her how to hang up the shirts and slide them to the end of the end of the rack? She picked it up really quick, I think it's her favorite laundry trick!❤ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Follow my Pawtners @marvelous_marble_ @bluebearaussie

Is it weird that I want to clone this dog so I can have one of my own?
