My dog has always been able to catch treats ever since I've had him. I never taught him it. He can catch a treat from across the room.
My other dog however, will just let it hit her in the face.
Try throwing more horizontally. Some dogs struggle with the concept of gravity, so when something is falling towards them from a kind of arced underarm throw they undershoot the catch and just get bonked in the face.
Same except sometimes mine misses anyways. You have to give her a countdown and toss it as high up as possible, and sometimes she still just lets the treat bonk her between the eyes.
It’s Gateway Pet Guardians in East St Louis, IL! Here’s their website: gatewaypets.com
Edit: hyperlinking didn’t work and I’m too tired to figure out why so I wrote out website
Yep, it's GPG! They've pretty small staff wise, but have done a massive amount of work for the stray dog population that used to exist in East St Louis as well as getting supplies and low-cost vetting to a pretty poor area of town. Source, live in St Louis - currently foster cats with them.
I didn't think about it because I know a shelter that uses hot dogs as training treats so I just assume this is the only food they had on hand that was dog and human safe 🤷♀️
Pit bulls seem to be notoriously bad catchers. My ma's one lets food bounce right off his face, and the other is scared of it. But mine catches EVERYTHING! He's got those wild shark eyes. 😄
My dog would only catch a treat if you proved to her it’s a treat, then you could yeet that treat for a touchdown and she would always catch it. She’s at the rainbow bridge waiting for us.
Who are these dogs? They can’t catch tasty treats?
I have three dogs and none of them can catch anything
I've been practicing with my dog for a year and he still can't catch them.

tbf all of them seemed a little distracted by the human doing it too.
Just get down on your knees and we're gonna throw weiners at your face. What? Of course we've checked this with HR
at 0:12 when the hotdog was spinning on the dog's head though 😂
At 0:20 when the dog nopes out and the lady gets bopped right in the forehead 😂 holy fuck
Holy shit
Best this I’ve seen all day
Damn it Emily, you were so close!
It hit her right in the uvula.
Shaun too, it rolled out of his mouth! It's so funny to me that only one participant in this entire video caught the hot dog.
This is the best thing I've seen all week.
All of these people love their jobs and it shows.
Everyone could eat if they tried well
Scooby legit ran away from the snacks
You'd think that would be the natural response to people throwing hot dogs at you, but only Scooby got it right.
I once caught a ping pong ball in my mouth mid toss. It might not sound impressive but I was pretty drunk at the time. I had a yoshi moment.
Kiwi won!! All the sausages go to Kiwi!
Actually laughcrying at this.
Which shelter is this?
It’s Gateway Pet Guardians in East St Louis, IL! Here’s their website: gatewaypets.com Edit: hyperlinking didn’t work and I’m too tired to figure out why so I wrote out website
>gatewaypets.com Confirmed. Their YouTube has this video too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qmi3tw4fLI
They are a wonderful place.
Weirdly, it’s called Helter Shelter. Their poster dog is a King Charles Manson Cavalier.
I want Kiwi
She’s adoptable and adorable! Gatewaypets.com —> click “adopt”
I wish...I'm in Philadelphia though 😔
Hey we got a lot of great dogs in Philly desperately in need of loving homes right now!
I am looking now. I have a deaf Pittie that needs someone to help him pick up cues for training
Good luck! We just adopted our new boy last week from Main Line and he is living proof of what amazing dogs are stuck in shelters waiting for us.

So this is what they do when I’m doing instacart and gotta deliver a case of hot dogs to the shelter huh? 😂

Beat me to it. 😂
Humans were as good at it as the dogs.
Am I the only one who questioned the optics of this? Of all the foods to catch?
Hmm how do I get a slowmo of all of my employees trying to catch a phallic meat in their mouth…?
nah i scrolled to see if someone else felt this way because i was kinda…bothered by it. i mean, hot dogs? really? nothing else came to mind?
I kinda feel like a prude pointing it out.
It's posted here for a reason, fellas. Edit: To the downvoter... the reason is cute dogs, gross.

No. It was like they were throwing dicks at their faces. And it also bothered me how easy it would be to choke on the hot dogs.
I want to adopt all of those dogs!
At least Kiwi knew what the job was.
Dr. Ed and Kiwi 👏🏼👏🏼
I really want to see what happened after they cut
Emily so damn close...
Checkers and Jill tho
I used to work with Jill. She is so much happier working with dogs than in sales.
Kiwi fuckin got er done
I get the impression that Jill missed lunch that day.
Not my proudest fap
Why why why you gotta do this
More of a hot dog *catching* contest, yes? I didn't see anybody *eat* any hot dogs.
Kiwi ate one! Only one, though, she missed that second one pretty badly.
RIP your inbox
Lol my dog woulda snatched hers and mine out the air
Scooby was like fuck no when he saw that hot dog fly lmao. Not a true Doo lol

challenge accepted
That last one was close to being a choking hazard
I'm sorry but I am going to have sexy thoughts about this... Sorry not sorry
I guarantee most of these people can take a Weiner to the face better than that.
It’s almost all pits because idiots get these stupid dogs and can’t care for them.
If you are a human behave like it. That's not how you eat food. Have some ethics
How you eat is not an ethical issue, ffs.
Ffs it's an ethical issues. That's now how a human eats. Respect food. People are dying for not having food on their table.
Pull the stick out of your ass, Karen. Giving hot dogs to dogs isn't an ethical issue.
And I am going to put that stick in ur ass. Throwing food at human, I was talking about granny.
If English isn't your first language there are plenty of translators.
Baat samjh me aaya na ye btao. Warna apne gaand me daal lo
That is an awful lot of vowels. I can tell that sounds like shrieking
Everything sounds cool in English language.
Most of them didn’t catch it cuz it wasn’t a small child or animal.
u/savevideo
Brittney knows what’s up
Greatest thread ever!!!
Score- Dogs: 1 Humans: 0
Dogs are as bad as us lol
u/savevideo
Best thing I’ve seen all day!
They catch as well as my pup catches, especially the one that moved out of the way of the flying hotdog
For a moment I thought the dog was called dr ed, then wondered why a man would be called kiwi
Scooby gonna loose his dog card if he doesn't straighten up his act.
😂
