A New York TikToker is going viral for teaching her dogs a new trick that’s anything but basic.
Playing Uno!
Haley Deecken has trained her two pups—10-year-old Dunkin (a Labrador/Pit Bull mix) and 2-year-old Splash (a Shepherd/Lab/Husky mix) to match Uno cards by color. Using positive reinforcement and short, focused sessions, the dogs learned to recognize and match colors like blue and yellow first, then red and green.

While they don’t fully understand the game’s rules (yet), they’ve nailed the concept of color matching during their 15-minute training playtimes.
Deecken plans to take it even further by teaching number-pattern recognition next. Both dogs have already made appearances in commercials and viral videos, proving just how clever pets can be with the right kind of training and patience!
