A TikTokker claimed to have taught her pooches to play Uno — showing off their apparent skills in a new video that’s already viewed nearly 40 million times.

In the clip, Haley Deecken plays the classic card game with her dogs, 10-year-old Dunkin, a Labrador retriever/pit bull mix and 2-year-old Splash, German shepherd/Australian shepherd/Labrador/husky mix, who appear to follow along with no problem.
Deecken said she used short training sessions — utilizing their limited color vision to teach them how to play.
“I started with just two colors — blue and yellow — because those are the colors they can see best,” the New Yorker told People.
“I’d place most cards as the correct color, like four blue cards around a blue one in the middle, then one yellow to set them up for success. Every time they picked the blue card, they got a reward.”
As the training went on, Deecken introduced more challenging colors to expand their skills — while limiting the sessions to about 15 minutes to make sure the dogs are focused and stay excited about the game.
Deecken said it took seven or eight sessions before they understood. NYP
