Dog owners everywhere know how fun it is to train our dogs to do numerous tricks. From fetching to balancing objects on their snouts, to even riding skateboards: dogs seem to be able to do anything these days!

While dogs are known to be fast learners, any canine-lover also knows how difficult it can be to get them to control their barking. Dogs are typically born either loud or soft barkers, and they tend not to deviate from this volume regardless of what their owner does.

That’s what makes the video below so amazing!

The hilarious video below begins with a dog owner telling her dog to bark for her, which he immediately does. She then asks him to bark softer, and sure enough, he does that too! He continues to follow her instructions perfectly, barking at whatever volume she asks him to!

This video serves as a perfect example of how bonded a dog and human can become. This dog and his owner are so in sync that he has actually been able to learn to bark at whatever volume she wants him to. This must come in handy if she lives in an apartment building with thin walls, as she can always just tell her dog to pipe down if neighbors complain!

The video also shows that the love of dogs is something that cultures all over the world can share. This video was shot in Japan, but it’s been widely watched and enjoyed internationally as well.
