A dog named Zoya has learned how to catch cheese with style, and this video from Instagram user @2husketeers is proof. The video shows the Husky pulling off a trick that looks like it took a lot of practice, as the on-screen caption explains, “Taught my dog to flip & catch…cheese.” And that is exactly what happens throughout the video — the dog is a master at catching cheese.
Dog knows how to flip and catch cheese like an expert
Zoya lies on the ground with a black spatula in front of her. The video shows the dog’s owner placing a small cube of cheese on one end of the spatula, prompting Zoya to tap the other end with a paw, which pops the cheese into the air. Without moving much from her spot, she tracks it and snaps it out of the air in one clean bite.
The video’s caption reads, “Cheese tax has been paid! ? What should Zoya flip next? I’m always amazed how fast she picks up new tricks!”
Zoya’s skills impressed his viewers, especially because of how effortless she makes it look. Several people expressed their awe, with one writing, “Wow!! She makes it look so easy,” while another joked, “Make this an Olympic sport.” Meanwhile, a viewer pointed out, “That must’ve been fun to figure out!”
Zoya, and dogs like her, learn patterns really quickly when the reward stays clear and consistent. Additionally, if you add a high-value treat like cheese as the reward, you often get intense focus that ultimately makes the trick look natural and effortless.
The comments also show the trick has inspired a wave of other pet owners, even if results vary. One viewer admitted, “How did you teach this? I tried with Smucky and was not successful ?,” while another admitted, “We could never ?.” Others may fail to copy the Husky, but the dog in this video is all about business — and cheese.
