Why it worked
The video uses humor and a relatable scenario (dog training) to engage viewers. The creator's personality and the unexpected use of a yoga block as a training tool likely contributed to its shareability and watchability.
Summary
The creator demonstrates how to teach a dog the "orbit" trick, which involves the dog stepping onto a yoga block. The tutorial covers luring the dog, marking and rewarding the behavior, and gradually fading the lure and hand gestures. The creator emphasizes using a French word for the trick, suggesting "orbite" because dogs supposedly respect French commands.

lets learn about the
orbit please 🙏
ACTUALLY, THEY DON'T KNOW ANY OF
THIS EXISTS.
FIRST OF ALL, WHEN TRAINING A
BELGIAN MALINOIS,
YOU MUST LOOK
THE PART. THAT
MEANS HAT,
BEARD, AND SUNGLASSES,
OR SHE WILL
NOT RESPECT YOU.
AND POCKETS. THIS
IS WHERE I
STORE ALL OF
HER RESPECT THAT
SHE GIVES ME.
HOW TO TEACH
HER THAT SHE'S
WE'RE GONNA TEACH
HER TO PIROUETTE.
SHE'S GONNA RESPECT
THAT BECAUSE IT'S
FRENCH.
MALINOIS. RESPECT. FRENCH.
THIS IS A
YOGA BLOCK I
GOT YEARS AGO,
WHICH I HAVE
DEFINITELY USED A
LOT.
TO TEACH HER
THAT SHE HAS
WE'RE GOING TO
LURE HER ONTO
THE BLOCK.
MARK YES.
AND FEED WHEN
SHE PUTS ONE
OR BOTH FEET
ON THE BLOCK.
WE'RE THEN GOING
TO FEED SEVERAL
TIMES TO TEACH
HER TO STAY
ON THE BLOCK.
WHOOPS.
AND THEN USE
A RELEASE CUE
TO LET HER KNOW SHE CAN
GET OFF FREE.
TOSS THE TREAT.
WE'RE GONNA PRACTICE
THIS A WHOLE BUNCH.
YES. UNTIL IT
IS NICE AND
SNAPPY. FREE.
NOW WE TEACH
HER THAT SHE
HAS BACK LEGS.
I'M GOING TO
LURE HER HEAD
TO ONE SIDE.
YES. AND MARK ANY MOVEMENT IN
HER BACK FEET AT ALL.
YES.
MAKE SURE TO DO BOTH SIDES.
YES.
OR YOU'LL END UP WITH A
WONKY DOG.
YES. NO ONE
WANTS A WONKY
DOG.
GRADUALLY BUILD HOW
MANY STEPS YOU
CAN DO BEFORE
YOU MARK.
AND REWARD. YES.
AND REWARD. YES.
UNTIL IT LOOKS
LIKE THIS.
UNTIL IT LOOKS
LIKE THIS.
JUST BY TEACHING
THIS, LOOK HOW
MUCH OF ORBIT
WE HAVE ALREADY
TAUGHT.
OH, NO,
MY SLIP. SLIP.
NOW BANISH THE
YOGA BLOCK
TO THE PLACE
WHERE ALL YOUR
UNUSED EXERCISE EQUIPMENT
LIVES.
WE'RE GOING TO
TAKE TREATS IN
BOTH HANDS.
LURE HER TO
ONE SIDE.
TILT THAT HEAD.
MEET THAT NOSE
WITH THIS HAND.
MEET IT AGAIN.
YES.
AND FEED. IF
YOUR DOG'S REALLY,
REALLY STRUGGLING WITH THIS,
YOU CAN FEED.
FEED
AND
FEED.
WE'RE GONNA PRACTICE
THIS UNTIL IT
BECOMES SMOOTH. YES.
GRADUALLY, OVER TIME,
WE START TO
FADE THAT LURE.
YES.
THE HAND MOVEMENTS
ARE GOING TO
BECOME SMALLER AND
LESS EXAGGERATED.
NEXT, I'M GOING
TO FADE OUT
MY RIGHT HAND
ENTIRELY. YES.
NOW I'M GOING
TO FADE THE LURE.
EMPTY HAND. YES.
I ALWAYS MARK
AND FEED WITH
THIS HAND.
THIS IS WHERE
TO BE WHEN
SHE FINISHES.
THIS FIRST HAND
IS NOW A
GESTURE.
YES.
FINALLY, WE NAME
THE BEHAVIOR.
DON'T PICK A
BORING ENGLISH WORD
LIKE ORBIT.
INSTEAD, PICK SOMETHING
THAT'S FRENCH.
THEY RESPECT FRENCH.
ORBITE.
THEY RESPECT FRENCH.
ORBITE.
GOOD.
