Teaching your dog tricks is a fun extension of basic obedience training . Certainly, similar principles apply to this. The animals will thrive with the individualized attention they get from their trainer during the sessions, also obtaining great benefits through mental stimulation.

Getting a dog to learn to do certain things can sometimes be quite complicated, but a man from New Zealand has been able to teach his Finnish Pomeranian a rather strange trick , which has digital platforms in their heads.

This is Ashleigh MacPherson, who has been teaching her dog Kiko to turn her head 180 degrees . Just like the possessed girl in The Exorcist, the trick defies the basic laws of biology. However, Ashleigh feels happy and quite proud of her little dog.

The furry one seems to have learned quite easily. As soon as they order him “demon,” Kiko performs the surprising act . The result is some shocking photos, as well as hundreds of confused people unable to understand how the dog achieves the feat.

For her part, Ashleigh explained how she discovered that the dog could do that unique movement and why she has continued doing it. She assures that it has always been natural for him .

“He always has, since he was a little puppy. At first, he started doing it while he was sleeping. I didn’t think much about it, since dogs like to sleep in weird positions, but he started doing it to look at other dogs. Instead of turning his head like a “normal” dog, he would turn his neck all the way back,” Ashleigh said.

Maybe this little one prefers to see the world upside down. Ashleigh claims that, as Kiko was growing up and the two of them were living together, she began to turn her head to keep her attention on him . In this way, every time her back was turned, she was still aware of each of the movements of her human father.

“When people see him do it in public, their reactions are always the same. At first they seemed surprised and asked, ‘How does he do that?’, and then they smiled and laughed afterward,” MacPherson added.

Despite her terrifying gimmick, Kiko has been a huge comfort to Ashleigh during the coronavirus pandemic. She was born just a few days before the lockdown occurred in New Zealand. In this way, they found each other and accompany each other to this day.

In reality, Kiko is a very docile, affectionate and relaxed dog. But, he is also brave, loves to explore and is very playful. Sometimes it even seems like he is talking because, as is known, this Scandinavian breed of dog is characterized by being quite vocal.
