These clever dogs have achieved the Guinness World Records title for the most tricks performed by two dogs in one minute - managing 28.

Wish and Halo broke the record with their trainer Emily Larlham in El Cajon, California.

Emily trained Wish and Halo, two border collies, separately using positive reinforcement.

The steps were broken up into small steps so the dogs were highly successful at learning the behaviours.

If the dogs created incorrect responses, Emily would find a way to break the steps up in a way that the dogs could be successful.

The first time Emily asked for the tricks to be performed by both dogs, she made the criteria easier so that working with another dog meant getting more treats than working alone.

She then added speed to the behaviours using toys so that the dogs could perform more tricks in a shorter time period.

Both border collies are highly intelligent, healthy and athletic so they found this attempt exhilarating.

Emily is most well known for her YouTube channel "Kikopup" where she has posted free dog training videos on how to teach dogs without physical or psychological intimidation for over a decade.
