This remarkable cocker spaniel is spreading Christmas cheer by playing jingle bells, wrapping himself up like a present and even skipping with a piece of tinsel. Owner Emily Anderson has worked with three-year-old Leo in the run up to Christmas to learn a handful of impressive skills all themed around yuletide decorations.
The 31-year-old first taught Leo to play ping pong by hitting a ball with a Santa-themed bat before they mastered putting hoops on a plastic candy cane. Leo then went on to wrap himself up in a snowman blanket and proudly play jingle bells after learning to overcome a fear of loud noises.
But dog trainer Emily claims the intelligent mutt almost failed at tinsel tricks as the foil material kept tickling his noise and making him sneeze - before getting used to the metallic material and jumping it like a rope. Now Emily claims the 'amazing' pooch has even impressed her as she couldn't believe how quickly he perfectly the stunts.
