Internet users can’t cope with a dog trying to leash-train his brother and taking the responsibility incredibly seriously.

Dog owner Hayley Walker shared a hilarious video on TikTok (@hayleywalkerrrr) of her doodle dog Saint doing his best to leash-train Chance, his older brother. During their walk in San Francisco, California, the clip shows Saint holding Chance’s leash in his mouth and trying to guide him where (and where not) to go.

As hard as Chance tried to sniff the trees and the flower beds on the sidewalk, Saint was having none of it. The black dog repeatedly pulled at his brother’s leash and stopped him from exploring further.

The footage has gone viral as TikTok users can’t get enough of Saint’s strict tone that he set for his sibling. The video has generated over 379,900 views and more than 68,400 likes at the time of writing.

Newsweek has contacted Walker via TikTok for comment. We could not verify the details of the video.

The caption alongside the clip says: “Saint takes loose leash training very seriously.”

Walking on a leash doesn’t come naturally to dogs, and they need to be taught how to do so properly, albeit, usually by their owner. The website PetMD says that leash training keeps a dog safe in public, can prevent leash reactivity, and also allows pups to go more places with their owner if they are conditioned to being on a leash.

Before training begins, the canine should be able to wear its harness, collar, and leash indoors to get accustomed to it. Wearing them during playtime and when given treats will build positive associations, as highlighted by the American Kennel Club (AKC).

Practicing inside is a great way for the dog to feel what the leash is like, without the distractions of cars or other people. Eventually, canines will be ready to test their skills outside, which will bring new smells, sights, and encounters into the equation.

For dogs who pull on the leash, the AKC suggests standing still and refusing to move until they come back. For a canine who lunges, redirect their attention with a treat before they have the opportunity to lunge at something you know triggers them, such as a cyclist or car.

Time after time during their walk, Saint ensured his doodle brother didn’t wander off or veer too far from the center of the sidewalk. Any time Saint wanted to assert his authority, he would stop walking and tug on Chance’s leash to show him how it is done properly.

When Saint is in charge, there are no shortcuts or lapses in judgment permitted. He certainly “runs a tight ship,” as Walker wrote on TikTok.

Since the video went viral, internet users have lauded the canine’s scrupulous training methods, leading to more than 340 comments on the post so far. Indeed, many social-media users even suggested that Saint could make a career out of this as a no-fuss dog trainer.

One comment reads: “He said don’t embarrass me, we walk like this.”

Another TikTok user wrote: “Better at training than me and I’m a professional.”

A third person replied: “I know a deputy parent when I see one.”

One commenter joked: “Is he taking new clients?”
