Extreme K9s 101!

Today's extreme K9 is Dick!

"Don't tell Dick the American Eskimo dog he can't learn new tricks. He'll flip--- literally! It took three years and countless boxes of dog treats, but now Dick turns more than five backward summersaults in a row. "When Dick was a puppy, he was very jumpy and always tried to reach high places," says owner Denis Ignatov. He began playing Frisbee with the dog, tossing the disc so that Dick had to jump and lean backward at the same time to catch it. Once Dick mastered that, the trainer used his hands to flip Dick all the way over. Soon the dog got so good that Ignatov stopped helping. But Dick didn't stop helping himself to the dog treats!"
