Jack The Balancing Dog Gets Into The Christmas Spirit (PHOTOS)

PHOTOS: This Dog REALLY Likes Christmas
|

Jack the balancing dog is back, and this time he's spreading some Yuletide cheer. Check out the photos below for a new take on the "Twelve Days of Christmas," as told by Jack.

The 3-year-old border collie from San Francisco is eager to balance things on his head, as his owners discovered earlier this year. "The balancing act started when we tried balancing a kernel of popcorn on his nose one night while watching a movie at home," his owner Nicole Lee previously explained.

Jack the dog is the most level-headed dog you'll see - he balances household items on his head.The three-year-old quite happily poses for pictures for owners Nicole Lee and boyfriend Trey, who adopted him as a puppy.And the Australian cattle dog is happy to impress by balancing items including a football, books, a kettle, and an egg - all in return for the cheers and praise of his San Franciscan owners.Nicole, 27, a biologist, explains: "The balancing act started when we tried balancing a kernel of popcorn on his nose one night while watching a movie at home. We quickly learned he was patient enough to allow us to stack really anything on his head (as long as it's not too heavy)."We train him by positively reinforcing good behaviours and ignoring the "wrong" ones; basically just a lot of cheering around here. He responds really well to praise, so we use that as a reward, as well as the ball." (credit:Rex USA)
