    Is there anything dogs can't do? The answer is a resounding NO! Take Noïa, the incredibly talented Staffordshire Terrier who should teach the Masterclass on tree-climbing to all her doggy friends ASAP for her skills!

    A recent video shared to TikTok by @noia.staffy shows the athletic pup maneuvering her way up a tree like a skilled gymnast and it's seriously impressive. Take a look below and prepare to eat her dust!

    In the brief 13-second clip, Noïa expertly places her back feet on one side of the tree trunk and her front paws on the other side. She inches her way up by wiggling her feet, then her front paws, until she's midway up the tree. She's a total pro!

    The adorable Staffy has more than 159,000 followers chiming in to cheer her on—and rightfully so!

    "This dog is a legend," one person wrote. "So rad. Love Staffys," another added. "'You’ve got to see the view from up here,'” another said.

    Tree-climbing isn't the end of Noïa's talents, either. This amazing girl climbs walls, walks on rolling wheels, balances on Dad's feet, and knows how to push a door closed, to name a few tricks. The various videos prove that not only are dogs smart, but they can learn far more than we think!

    The Benefits of Trick Training

    Noïa is a real star who deserves the spotlight. Whether she's tree-climbing or doing any number of her other cool party tricks—like this adorable trust fall clip —she really enjoys the performance, and that is thanks to her loving pet parent who spent the time working with her.

    The American Kennel Club says trick training is a great way to build or strengthen a bond with your dog. The fun that comes from the one-on-one time together has benefits for you both, as long as you're using positive reinforcement and high praise during training. The site notes trick training forces you and your pup to work together as a team.

    When teaching your fur baby a new trick , they're not only utilizing the part of their brain that yearns to please, but they're stimulated mentally. If it's an agility type of trick, the physical exercise is nice, too.

    Some common tricks pet parents might want to try are the "shake" command, the "praying" paws, or simply a "roll over." You don't have to be an expert to get started—just have patience and plenty of high-value treats.

    Pretty soon, you'll have your very own tree-climber like Noïa and your bond together will be stronger than ever!

    Catahoulas are good tree climbing dogs as well.
