Coco the Maltese Likes Putting Her Paws in the Air

Coco and Cici are two adorable Maltese sisters living in Scottsdale, Arizona, whose job is to put smiles on people’s faces and to make them happy. They’re both registered therapy dogs, spreading joy on a weekly basis at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. 

Coco, however, has mastered a clever trick to attracts everyone’s attention by constantly putting her paws in the air. She’s doing this everywhere and all the time, and it’s pretty hilarious!

Coco’s owner Katee Lauchner, says that her pet was super easy to train and she needed only a few weeks to learn some basic commands. Her daughter taught Coco the ‘Paws Up’ trick, and now they simply can’t stop her from raising her paws in the air.

“My daughter taught her using the back of the couch for support and taking a treat above her head to get her to move upward. Over the years, Coco has turned it into her own thing by standing up and putting her paws up, and now she does it all the time even without us asking,” Katee told Bored Panda.

Take a look at these adorable Maltese sisters in the photos below.
