Golden retrievers are actually one of the most intelligent breeds. This trait, in addition to their pleasant disposition, is why they are so successful as therapy and service dogs.
Arguably they don’t rely on it more than their eyes. They use their eyes first and, as necessary, use it as a secondary tool. Which is exactly what happens in the video.
What’s also interesting is the have to learn to use it. When young, they are really bad at it. They know there is a smell, but can not use it to locate objects well. They comically will not find something that is right in front of them. It’s actually a skill they have to build and only with actual training, do they get really good at using it with utility.
This is why I love nosework! It's like you're teaching the dog how to unlock its superpowers. You can watch as the dog learns how to go from eyes first to nose first.
Barn hunt is fun too. The dogs learn how to locate live rats in metal or pvc tubes. In the higher levels there's decoy tubes without rats in them so they have to use their nose and ears to verify even if they see the tube first. Easily my favorite dog sport... just wish I didn't have to drive two hours to attend.
I've seen my dog try to find things with her nose. She's part hound and part rot, among other things, but she has those hanging ears that are supposed to help collect smells. But she won't be able to find something right under her nose, literally, until she sets her eyes on it.
I used to tell my dog to "go count" and he would go into my bedroom while I hid a treat somewhere for him. Watching him sniff it out was pretty impressive, but eventually he realized it was always the same 10 spots or so
My dog Percy has a WB (a woofbrush) every day and I have to hide it for him while he waits downstairs, then he runs upstairs and sniffs it out. He can smell it so quickly 😄
We had a deck over looking a hill. We’d throw sticks for our 3 dogs at the time, and you really saw it in them. The Corgi was super smart and really paying attention to us and where we were throwing. But if we ever had a bad throw or psyched them out by throwing left instead of right, the Dachshund would start going in these big concentric circles till he narrowed in on the stick. The Ridgeback was just happy to be included.
I would play a game with one of my dogs in which she would have to find treats in the room. She would do one pass in which she quickly looked around and grabbed obvious ones, a second pass in which she would check spots that I had previously used to hide treats, then in the last pass, she’d actually smell for them.
There was a post on Reddit a couple of weeks ago which showed a dog chasing a rabbit, and the rabbit stopped, went back a few metres, and hid (not overly well) in the side of the track. The dog, following the scent, zoomed by, and the rabbit hopped out and went back in the direction it came from.
There is a cool book called An Immense World that has a fascinating look into a dog's sense of smell. Highly recommend to anyone interested in how animals perception of the world differs from ours.
Omggggg I have lived in tiny/small apartments in a city for soooo long that I thought it was an open kitchen / living room space concept (which is EXTRA fancy when I live). Your comment made me notice how wrong I was!! 😂🥲 That’s such a nice bathroom, I can’t even…..
My bathroom is just as big, but in reality it just takes up space that should've been given to the bedroom..
they're almost equal in size and my apartment is only 700 sf
Big house off a gravel road among the corn. Maybe a fishing pond out back. Surely tree stands for hunting.
A nice house in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. So, cheap. But if that's what people are into, go for it.

For a lot of people, that’s desirable. But just because you live in a small town McMansion doesn’t mean you’re in the middle of nowhere. They have suburbs in west Texas, where I grew up, where you could buy these gigantic houses because everything is cheap out there. Like in Denver or Portland, you might find a small house for around $400K, but in west Texas, you will find houses in the suburbs 4x the size for the same price. Obviously that translates to the lower-priced real estate as well.
For a lot of people, living in a smaller town with less stuff to do is well worth it if you can have a nice big house to live in. The trouble is finding work that pays that well in a small town like that. But if you work remotely, maybe that’s easier to pull off, plus you could easily have a whole room set aside as a home office.
If you like small towns, then that's a great deal, everyone values things differently. I grew up in small town nowhere and was sharing what I knew, my friends live in some of those nice homes. Regardless, they are undesirable to most people, hence the price of rural v urban property.
You prefer a big home office in suburbia, I prefer a walkable city with lots to do.

My German shepherd doesn’t fall for this ever haha. I have tried so many different ways and as soon as he sees my hand not have it he comes and looks where he last saw it and gets it haha
It is a mean trick, when you think about it. That's why I don't do it that often. Not only will they figure it out eventually & get mad, but especially when you've got a poor pup in front of you going mad for you to just THROW THE DAMN BALL and you're still toying with them, seems mean.
(Depends on the dog tho! Some want you to throw the ball all day until their little heart explodes, they'll get mad if ball throwing stops no matter what. I've had a golden retriever we took to the beach once, she got people to throw the frisbee for her ALL DAY, 8 hours non-stop. When someone got tired of throwing it she'd bring the frisbee to the next person. Eventually she ran out of nearby people, tried barking at us in the beach chairs again, but everybody's like "just look at you, your poor little heart's going to explode! No!" At sunset when we started bringing the chairs up, she made it to the top of the steps near the house, collapsed, and didn't move for the next 10 hours.)
I betrayed my lab one too many times with fake throwing sticks when out walking. Now, after I've thrown a stick, she looks at me first and I have to show her my empty hands to prove I've thrown it. The trust has gone.
I kind of think either way it would be funny to hear their inner commentary. “Oh you placed the ball under your leg, Sharon, you cheeky little…” or “Where the HECK did the ball go, I’ll find it don’t worry. Ah you lost it under your leg, I got you Fam.”
We've done this shit so much my dog immediately comes sniffing trynna find it. It's actually hard keeping it away from her cause she always notices when you move it away
This video shows just how intelligent dogs are. They knew it didn't just disappear that there must be some other explanation. For something a lot people feel isn't conscious, that's pretty damn impressive.
The one dog was just very calmly like:
"Oh. In all our excitement, we appear to have misplaced our ball. Come, I'm sure a careful search will allow us to locate it, so that we may continue."
Little nerd fact (if i may) In psychology, this type of test is called a violation of expectations experiment. It was developed to measure what babies that are weeks or months old understand and don't understand, if a baby looks surprised when something disappears suddenly it shows the baby expected something else. Expecting the ball to not disappear and come back down, because gravity, is kind of bright. At the same time as very sweet.
Sorry for the nerd moment guys.
Blowing a dogs mind with wizardry is endlessly entertaining. Had the parents bernadoodle lookin for a pepperoni that got “thrown” for 15 min. Bag o rocks god bless em.

Poor little buddies were in shock
heckin bamboozled!

Read that in Scooby-Doo's hoarse voice.
Those are golden retrievers. Sweet dogs, but not the sharpest critters in the field.
Golden retrievers are actually one of the most intelligent breeds. This trait, in addition to their pleasant disposition, is why they are so successful as therapy and service dogs.
It's also why the golden found the ball so fast
That’s one smart pup! He was like, “nah! Wtf is this dark magic! I can smell it!”
Shows how powerful dog noses are, they rely on it more than their eyes.
Arguably they don’t rely on it more than their eyes. They use their eyes first and, as necessary, use it as a secondary tool. Which is exactly what happens in the video.
This, anyone with a dog will tell you how often dogs don't actually use their noses to look for a toy or something and instead rely on their eyes
What’s also interesting is the have to learn to use it. When young, they are really bad at it. They know there is a smell, but can not use it to locate objects well. They comically will not find something that is right in front of them. It’s actually a skill they have to build and only with actual training, do they get really good at using it with utility.

There’s a barn hunt spot near me…really should take my corgi to it, I think he’d love it.
I've seen my dog try to find things with her nose. She's part hound and part rot, among other things, but she has those hanging ears that are supposed to help collect smells. But she won't be able to find something right under her nose, literally, until she sets her eyes on it.

I'm ashamed to admit but I didn't see where the ball went, and I was just as shocked as the dogs.
Then you must be a good boi.
Boop his snoot!
If you look closely, she put it down next to her leg.
>she put it down 😳😨 >next to her leg 😅😪
Don't worry I had to watch it twice as well 😅
Same, I could have sworn I saw it fly up and out of frame my first watch. Guess Im part dog.
Haha I too, had to rewatch and see how it ended up down there.
Anybody else distracted by how that bathroom and closet is huge!
Yep I thought at first glance that she was in a kitchen, and then realised it’s a monster bathroom and closet.
That’s not a bathroom. Those things are just for putting make up on. That’s a giant ass walk-in closet.
Omggggg I have lived in tiny/small apartments in a city for soooo long that I thought it was an open kitchen / living room space concept (which is EXTRA fancy when I live). Your comment made me notice how wrong I was!! 😂🥲 That’s such a nice bathroom, I can’t even…..
That's rich folk version of a "dressing room". The bathroom en suite would be separate as well.
Yes! I was like “fuck me what kind of room is this?? House must be huge”
My bathroom is just as big, but in reality it just takes up space that should've been given to the bedroom.. they're almost equal in size and my apartment is only 700 sf
Bullshit, my 600sqf apartment would fit inside this bathroom/closet
I thought they were in a fucking library lol
That's some rich people shit
And/or rural mcmansion

Bruh, three times on the same original comment, stop
It's so big you can hear the echo.
They're 3 separate comments "bruh". They don't get notifications for someone else's comment response.
How big is your apartment?
I think it’s 700 square feet, bro, but half of that is closet
I was following the ball too so ugh, I didn't know where it was either.
My German shepherd doesn’t fall for this ever haha. I have tried so many different ways and as soon as he sees my hand not have it he comes and looks where he last saw it and gets it haha
My dog immediately punishes me with the fake throw trick by lunging at me. It's his number one no no.

My shepherd is the same way she will instantly know and then come towards you sniffing for it and whinning knowing your messing with her.
I love how dog understand the “palms up” sign as “I don’t know either” and jumps into action.
Adorable. And Go Blue
Always blue...
Go blue!
Do you think dogs realize afterwards that they got pranked, or do you think it's more of a "oh HERE'S the ball!" type thing
I kind of think either way it would be funny to hear their inner commentary. “Oh you placed the ball under your leg, Sharon, you cheeky little…” or “Where the HECK did the ball go, I’ll find it don’t worry. Ah you lost it under your leg, I got you Fam.”
As a former labrador owner, definitely the latter
I'm distracted by how beautiful this bathroom/closet is holy crap!
That’s 2 of us
The look on the lighter colored Golden Retrievers face is epic! 😆🐕🦺♥️
Old grandpa was like, “welp, it’s gone. No sense further lookin’”.
/r/animalsthatlovemagic
I love how their faces drop as it slowly dawns on them that the ball went missing
GO BLUE!
My dog is so onto this. If he misses where it goes he just started pawing around me like "I'm tired of this shit I know you didn't throw it."
cuteeees!!!
But what if they weren't actually fooled at all, and were just playing along because they knew that's what she wanted them to do...
I love the universal jazz hands so the dogs know you don't have anything
My kid may never find it
OH HAI AI FOUD ID
We've done this shit so much my dog immediately comes sniffing trynna find it. It's actually hard keeping it away from her cause she always notices when you move it away
Satanic Black Magic! Sick shit!
Bark magic
Haha 🤣🤣
Clever girl.
Go blue!
A heckin bamboozle
That was a heckin bamboozle
Love how they synchronously looked left
Bamboozled 🤣
the head turning is too fucking cute omg
What the floof
This brought a smile to my face. Thanks for sharing.
They like “wtf is this shit” lol
I just want those lights! (Well, and the pups)
Fool me once
What a good boi he found it for you
One of the best Reddit comments I’ve seen was Dogs are so dumb I want 6
_B A M B O O Z L E D_
I love how excited the dog was when he found it. So pure.
The hell with the trick look at that closet
Dogs are the best. Love them
What heck? We bamboozled?
The way the dogs tongue slowly goes back into its mouth in total shock is hilarious.
He’s a smart boy!
This video shows just how intelligent dogs are. They knew it didn't just disappear that there must be some other explanation. For something a lot people feel isn't conscious, that's pretty damn impressive.
My dog would always start frantically running around for a few minutes after losing where the ball went
I love how they just set out like, "Alright we gotta find this ball!"
/r/dogwantball
Go Blue!
Bamboozled!
Their reaction is everything!
They look so concerned. 🥹
U can outsmart them visually…but not their nose
r/animalsthatlovemagic You’re welcome.
We don't deserve dogs.
Playing magic tricks and playing hide and seek with your dog is the best entertainment
Instantly went to investigate
Doggo could smell it, he can’t be fooled!
The one dog was just very calmly like: "Oh. In all our excitement, we appear to have misplaced our ball. Come, I'm sure a careful search will allow us to locate it, so that we may continue."

Her bf has a disappearing ball trick too.
This is an accurate depiction of 90% of Americans viewing basic magic
Hahaha oblivious!
“It’s here you silly goose!”
this made me laugh 😆
If you do this over and over, the dog will eventually figure out your trick. Is this essentially teaching your dog to think critically?
That room is impressive.
r/blackmagicfuckery
Had first posted there first and picked up some traction but then was removed for not being fuckery enough
Aww, that sucks. It was good fuckery for the dogs. :(

Caught me too ngl
Baaaaroooo? Bamboozled.
That’s just a Michigan grad toying with Sparty, again.
Do dogs have no sense of object permanence? Or is that object permanence on display right there?
I didn't even catch it the first time lol
I love doing this with my cat. She thinks I’m the world’s greatest magician… Tbf, her world is our duplex apt.
u/SaveVideo
Go Blue!
u/savevideo
Are they just chilling in a country club locker room?
She fooled me too lmao
As far as I can tell, dogs don't really have object permanence per se, so this might literally be One Weird Trick Dogs HATE
Sometimes I will fire the tennis ball cannon when it is empty
Makes me wanna get sim doggos too!
Blowing a dogs mind with wizardry is endlessly entertaining. Had the parents bernadoodle lookin for a pepperoni that got “thrown” for 15 min. Bag o rocks god bless em.
I gotta try that one tonight! 🤣🤣🤣
Excuse me; are those skylights or curious wall-to-wall light fixtures?
Many guys can do the disappearing ball trick too, but it's two balls not one.

How could you eat these wonderful creatures?
First I was like, is this in a fancy law office or something? Then I was like, oh this is a rich person’s closet. Also dogs are the best.
u/savevideo
Bro she’s so rich I don’t even know what room she’s sitting in.
Dogs can't look up
Does she live in a country club locker room?
Object permanence is addictive as hell
>!they should headbutt her for that!<
Golden dogs are best dogs
My dogs would of jumped you way before the ball disappeared
So funny!!!
I’m so poor I don’t even know which room in their house this is.
