Meet Secret: The Humanlike Dog That Can Paint, Do Yoga, Play Guitar, Fold Laundry and Even Do Videos Of Her Own
Meet Secret, one of the smartest dogs that has been making waves on social media.
After a video of Secret was viewed over 70 million times on Tiktok, I have decided to highlight other humanlike tasks she has completed so far.
But before I continue, I'll like to add that there's something quite unique about Secret — the fact that she's owned by someone who has always wanted to get into dog training. In fact, it was the desire to train an intelligent dog that pushed Mary to acquire an Australian Shepherd, a breed she thought would be a good candidate for her first attempt.
Secret is smart, there's no way around it. But in case you're doubting her artistic ability, I want to tell you in advance, she's going to prove you wrong with her adventures featured in the Instagram account @my_aussie_gal, which is run by her owner, Mary.
1. She Completed Painting of Flower
Next, she goes back to add some details. She includes a brown center to the flower and a few more leaves to the stem.
The video ends with Secret running toward the camera with paint marks visible on her nose, then cuts to her sitting proudly next to her masterpiece.
2. She Did Yoga
3. She Played Guitar
4. She Folded Laundry
Secret is capable of helping her owner with laundry. In the clip below, the dog can be seen helping Mary in a laundromat by unloading clothes into a basket using her mouth.
The camera then cuts to Mary's bedroom, where Secret is following her owner by dragging a basket full of clothes along the carpet.
Mary then passes clothes on hangers to the dog, who incredibly manages to hang them onto the rail using her teeth.
5. She filmed her own Video
The dog then steps forward and presses the phone with her nose to supposedly begin filming.
Next, the perspective shifts to that of the tripod camera, and Secret takes a few steps back before hopping forward on alternate front legs.
She then spins around, before waving at the camera before hopping along the carpet once more.
Secret and her owner Mary, are based in Bellingham, Washington.
The dog is so skilled at learning human social communicative behaviour that people sometimes doubt if she's actually the one doing most of the tasks.
Mary has told those who doubted that Secret could carry out some of the humanlike skills on her own that her dog's feats are as a result of over six years of training.
Yes, the key to raising a smart dog like Secret is simply a matter of training. Your dog doesn't have to be the most intelligent breed. Your dog has to be trained more than the rest. So, if you train your dog consistently on a particular task and never give up — your pet will eventually be considered “humanlike”.
It takes work, but it can be done.
