A border collie named Frey has been causing quite a stir on social media, thanks to a video of him performing an unusual trick. Shared by his owner on TikTok under the username nikybylinska, the video showcases Frey doing “air shots” with his owner, a trick that involves him picking up shot glasses with his teeth and pretending to drink like a human.

The video, which was shared in March, is accompanied by a caption that reads: “Can’t say no to him.” And it seems the internet couldn’t either, as the video quickly went viral.

Dogs are known for their intelligence and ability to learn a variety of tricks and commands. Experts estimate that dogs have an average intelligence similar to that of a human toddler and can understand between 100 and 200 words.

Not only can they understand words, but they are also capable of problem-solving. Some dogs can even learn to count and do simple arithmetic. While they might not have a perfect understanding of command words, they do understand the basic sounds of important words.

Studies have shown that dogs respond the same way to nonsense words that sound like familiar command words, and, at the same time, they don’t respond to nonsense words that don’t sound like command words.
