Just like the people who raise them, dogs are one of a kind. Even littermates will grow up with different preferences and personalities, no matter how similar their upbringings are. As puppies grow into adorable adult dogs, they will also develop skills and talents!

Many dogs can talk, sit, and even participate in dog sports, but Archie the Golden Retriever has developed a more specific talent. He can balance Cheez-Its on his head, and he can even resist the urge to munch on them (at least for a little while). On November 9, Archie and his parents showed off his ultra-specific skills, and it’s safe to say his TikTok fans are loving it.

OMG, what a good boy! Archie concentrates as much as possible on keeping his snacks balanced on his noggin, and his efforts have been beautifully rewarded. The AFC commentator wasn’t the only one to admit: “It’s actually so impressive.” Even though Cheez-Its are flat, a dog’s head is not and any small movement could tip the top over. Fortunately, this talented Golden Retriever trained himself to stay still! He had ten crackers balanced on his head (and in his mouth) before he could twist, and he never once hesitated.

“I can’t stress enough that my dog ​​would never do that,” commenter @aka.andii shared. Most dog owners I can totally understand! Food-motivated dogs may get excited over their meals and treats, but a balancing act like this requires controlling those feelings. Archie did a great job! The hungry retriever dog He wasted no time licking his snack once he was allowed to, but he proved how obedient and loyal he was in the meantime. His patience really paid off!

Training dogs to do tricks

Adorable acts like this show how dog training and tips can be. Training a puppy should always start with basic obedience commands, but you can progress to almost any trick or challenge! Training is also at the heart of many dog ​​sports like agility and dock diving, but you can still learn adorable and awesome party tricks like this one.

No matter where you start, it’s essential to remember that positive reinforcement is key to success. Anger, frustration, and punishment will never help your dog learn, no matter how annoyed you are. Instead, offer praise and treats to reward the behavior you’re looking for, and your furry friend will begin to connect the dots.

There’s no telling how long it took Archie to learn this delicious trick, but there’s no doubt that it’s a success no matter where he tries it. The cheese snack is just a bonus!
