This attempt to teach a dog about knocking noises went badly – and it’s a very funny watch

Someone named u/Lavidius has shared this funny clip of Poppy the dog trying – and failing – to learn an important lesson.

She’ll get it eventually – maybe.

Here’s what people had to say about it.

We have never owned a doorbell, ever. Yet my 2 dogs run to the door anytime a TV show or movie has a doorbell sound.

Why wouldn’t the dog be confused ? You’re knocking at the EXACT same time that someone is also knocking at the front door. What a coincidence!

I feel for the dog. As I was watching this video I started knocking my own desk in the same rhythm. When the video ended, I got up and went to answer my door…

Other Redditors shared tales of their own daft dogs.

Look I know dogs are man’s best friend. But we have to face it… some are as thick as pudding.

Our old Boxer dog, (who didn’t like going out in the rain) would see out the front door that it was raining, and so would RACE to the back door to be let out there instead, and look visibly confused & disappointed to find it was raining on this side of the house as well.

Our labradoodle was as dumb as a sack of hammers.

Our standard joke was that the only thing going through her head was the elevator muzak version of Girl From Ipanema.

Us: Diva, what’s this?

Diva: Ba ba bum ba ba baba bum bum…

I brought my dog to a Shakespeare in the Park performance, and he barked when one of the actors in the play knocked on a fake door…all of the dog owners in the crowd laughed in understanding.

Watching this made my dog bark and look at the door..

A Reddit user named u/_jroc_ had a question.

How come dogs get so excited when someone is at the door? I mean it’s almost never for them?
