According to Jesse the Jack Russell Terrier’s trainer Heather, the adorable little butler has been trained using only positive reinforcement and clicker training.

Over on Jesse’s YouTube channel, Heather assures everyone Jesse chooses to perform and enjoys all the tasks in the above video that humans would consider tedious:

Jesse chooses to do the behaviors in this video, and has so much fun bringing smiles to people’s faces. He gets treats for doing his tricks, and enjoys learning new things. Tricks are just one of the activities we enjoy doing together. When not doing tricks, Jesse can be found playing with his cuz ball, chasing squeaker tennis balls, digging in search for lizards, de-fluffing stuffed toys, swimming, and a companioning me on outings. Jesse loves adventure, and lives each and every day to its fullest. Jesse is my best friend, heart dog, and truly a member of the family, and I love him with every beat of my heart.
