She is a lady! In video phrase "Хорошо вытерлА" proves this. Good girl!

I searched on the internet before i posted and wasn't sure if a "he" or "she" but most posts were titled "he"

So ending with a suggests female.
But then the noun dog itself also has a female article in Russian, so there is a tiny chance that it's a boy and the speaker a linguistic moron.
Most likely the dog is female.

u/PyJIET_CBETA Aug 03 '26
I'm native russian speaker. She is 100% girl because вытерла is a verb, not noun. In nouns ending "a" doesn't mean femine because some "male" nouns also have a. For example male nane Nikita. If verb has ending "a" it's 100% girl doing something. Надеюсь я понятно объяснила. Эта собачка - точно девочка

u/Zero_Owl Aug 03 '26
This reasoning is plausible but factually incorrect. If I see this dog for the first time I would use female verbs as I would not try to identify its gender and would just use a generic собака. So everything said in the video can be said against a male dog but no Russian familiar with the dog will address it as a generic dog and call it собака.

u/Anuki_iwy Aug 03 '26
As a native speaker you should know then that verb takes its ending based on the gender of the noun (subject or object) it refers to which can be either "this specific female dog" or any generic sobaka.

u/PyJIET_CBETA Aug 03 '26
If this dog was male, this would be: "Хорошо вытер" not "вытерла". Also we have male version of sobaka - пёс (pyos)

Which is why I said "unless the speaker is a linguistic moron"...........
I know Internet brain rot makes people dumber, but come on, this is basic reading comprehension and I shouldn't have to break it down this much....

Legit almost broke my neck on the kitchen tile where my dog’s water bowl is today from the puddle around it. He puts his whole face in damn near up to his eyeballs to chug water. I don’t think this would help but I am nonetheless impressed.

I don’t think the above commenter cares for real, some people just love to have “cute” little things like this in their homes. 😂

It would be nice to not fall as my neck is already fused to my skull. I wouldn’t mind avoiding this specific cuteness 😊

My dog would drink and then immediately put his mouth on any human nearby. I think he was asking for OP's setup. He used our pants instead.

Yep my dog drips his way to my husband or myself and plops his entire head anywhere he can reach. (He’s 120 pounds, he can reach anywhere lol)

No, but I'm Russian and the woman used female form of verb, so the dog is girl

almost certainly with tasty treat rewards, consistency and patience.

u/Ligeiapoe Aug 05 '26
I’m thinking the other bowl that has the towel over it has a treat in, so they are sniffing the bowl.!

u/SoggyOutfield Aug 03 '26
You can teach a dog basically anything with enough reps and proper training. Some things take a lot of time and reps. Some just once. Breed and temperament matter a lot too.
My dog is stubborn and not very smart, but I could teach her this in probably a day. About the same time it took to teach her to ring a bell to go outside.

No way! Many people teach their dogs to do this! I’ve seen several of these videos.

u/insbordnat Aug 03 '26
My dog prefers to hold her face over the bowl for about 30 seconds to drip dry.

u/KeytarPlatypus Aug 03 '26
Mine just decides he doesn’t want to swallow the water in his last mouthful and just splashes it onto the floor
It’s like he goes “oh wtf am I doing drinking water? Get this out of here”

I need to borrow him so he could teach mine that trick. They dribble all the way across the house.🤣🤣

u/Agzarah Aug 03 '26
If that was my old dog, the face would have been plunged right into the towel, and more than likely gotten stuck. There'd be water all over the floor and a dog running around with this contraption on their face

u/Vulvas_n_Velveeta Aug 03 '26
Doubtful. Dogs are just really smart, and can be trained to do damn near anything.
I'm not even a dog person (more of a crazy cat lady) but even I can acknowledge just how intelligent and remarkable dogs are.

Just buy no-spill dog water bowl, with floating disk with center drainage holes (keeps ears, paws, and snout dry, while keeping dust out)

Wish my dog did that. Our husky drinks like a proper gentleman. Small sips and doesnt drip everywhere.
Our hound? Dude drinks lile hes been in a desert for weeks then immediately gets zoomies and drips everywhere in the house. It became a legitimate slipping hazard until we moved the dish outside, which they have easy access too.

you should NOT give large dogs elevated bowls, unless they are handicapped and need it. it significantly increases the chances of the stomach twisting which can kill the dog. ive seen it happen to a golden and a frenchie, it was scary
