12 Pawesome Celebrity Pet Tricks

YOU'RE GETTING SLEEPY

Stop wasting your time trying to hypnotize chickens with spinning discs and meditation, and instead let Martha Stewart show you how it's done. The DIY maven proves that with a little aerobic exercise and patience you can lure a worried chicken into a deep sleep. 

ON MY COMMAND

Taylor Swift isn't training her cat Meredith — the kitten is training her! Meredith has learned that if she wants to get attention from her busy mom, then she needs to make herself heard. With a mighty squeak, Meredith always gets the love she is looking for. 

FIRST DOG'S FINEST MOVES

Bo Obama doesn't just get by on his dashing good looks — he has learned tricks to impress the White House's powerful visitors, too. Oprah approved of the dog's shaking skills on a recent visit. And if Oprah likes something, you know it's legit. 

CANINE CANNONBALL

When your dad is as talented as Kevin Bacon, why wouldn't you want to be just like him? Bacon's dog Lily decided to play copy-cat when the pair were poolside, pulling off a impressive synchronized dive with her celebrity pop.

THE ARTIST

Uggie isn't a one trick pony; he is a multi-faceted dog. It is no surprise this pooch was a big part of the Academy Award winning film "The Artist." Being a dapper and congenial pup, Uggie had no problem showing Ellen some of his top-notch moves. 

MONKEYING AROUND IS MY JOB

Like Uggie, Crystal the monkey does not see pet tricks as a hobby, but a profession. Crystal has made a name for herself and has made some pretty big paychecks, thanks to her array of acting skills. 

TOP DOG 

We don't need to tell you Pudsey the dog has talent, because Britain already has. This flipping, dancing, jumping pooch earned first place in the most recent "Britain's Got Talent" competition. With heart-warming and silly dances like this, how could we ever vote no?

THEY SEE ME ROLLING

Tillman is his own celebrity. This bulldog has been on the pet trick circuit for years, literally rolling from gig to gig. While Tillman makes skateboarding look easy, achieving his balance of skill and sweetness is hard work. 

A MAN OF MANY BOXES

Maru is an animal who has dedicated his whole life to one trick: box play. Through his commitment to expanding the relationship between cat and box, Maru has opened the world to a whole new variety of time-wasting, adorable videos.

TOO CUTE FOR WORDS

Boo, the "World's Cutest Dog," is lucky he can get by on his looks, because his listening skills are not in tip-top shape. In this vid, Boo shows that his true talent lies in always being adorable, not in learning basic dog commands.
