The Call Your Dog Challenge is a simple yet fun way to see how your dog reacts when their name is called over and over.
There’s no denying that the Call Your Dog Challenge is a fan-favorite for many creators on the app. Not only is this challenge super funny to do, but it also shows how caring and loving your pup truly is.
See, the main idea with this challenge is to call your fur baby’s name as they sit right next to you. And while this challenge is not as dramatic as other ones that have gone viral on the app, it’s amazing to see how different dogs react.
Bunny from the TikTok account What About Bunny had one of the funniest, cutest reactions to the challenge. As Bunny’s owner continued to call his name, the dog tossed one of his toys into her lap and placed his paws on her shoulder.
Bunny also proceeded to walk and run around in circles right in front of his human, hoping that she would realize that he was right in front of her. Too cute!
The Patatak Dance Challenge is a fun way to share some moves with your pup.
We all know that TikTok is the hub for all things dance challenges. And while you may think that your fur babies are not able to pick up any rhythm, the Patatak Dance Challenge will blow your mind.
This challenge consists of doing a few simple dance moves to the best of the audio Patatak by Mine Craciun. Once the audio picks up, you’ll get to see how your pup reacts once the beat drops.
TikToker Wiwi Adorno’s video shows her beautiful dog getting in on the fun. As she starts busting a few moves, the dog starts to move as well. And when the beat finally comes in, he jumps up and tries to move along with his human.
The Clapping at Your Dog Challenge is one that will make your pup feel good to receive attention.
One thing fur babies love the most is getting endless attention from their humans. Whether you're simply spending time with them, rewarding them with snacks, or playing with them, dogs love being the center of attention — just like babies.
To get your fur baby in on the fun, simply start by getting your friends and family together. And with your dog in the room, start clapping for your pup. Over time, your dog will get so excited and love all the praise and attention they're receiving.
In Brookehwr's video, her pup was ready to get in on the fun. As he watched as the family applauded him and said how good of a boy he is, he took a moment to bow for himself. He quickly stood up on his hind legs and clapped his paws to appease his family. And yes, it's just as cute as you would imagine.
The Blanket Challenge is the perfect way to play hide and seek with your fur baby.
Dogs are always in the mood for a fun game. And since they probably have tons of toys around the house that they love to play with, you can add their favorites into the fun.
See, the Blanket Challenge consists of you tricking your dog into thinking that you've disappeared. All you have to do is throw their favorite toy in one direction and while they're chasing it, hide underneath a blanket. This will leave them wondering where you went and you'll have their cute reaction on video.
Last but not least, the Level up Challenge is perfect for seeing how high your fur baby can jump.
It goes without saying that dogs need as much exercise as they can get. And while you may not always want to take them outdoors — especially during inclement weather — there is a way to allow them to get their exercise on. And this is where the Level up Challenge comes into play.
The rules are pretty simple. Pet owners stack a row of toilet paper rolls on the floor and allow their dogs to jump over it as a way to test their agility. Once the first step is complete, you add another row to make the toilet paper wall taller and taller. And paired with Ciara's hit song "Level Up," it's a great way for your pups to have some fun around the house.
