In a video shared to Instagram with the caption “The first few days of homeownership started off with a bang! No like, literally,” viewers watch as the enthusiastic pet parent tries to teach his dog how to use a freshly installed dog door.
Standing in the garden, he tosses the dog’s ball through the flaps to demonstrate how it works.
Epic fail
But instead of following the ball, the dog completely misjudges the situation.
Rather than walking through the opening, it launches itself directly at the glass pane next to the door, bouncing off it with a dramatic thud.
Hilarious reaction
The pup isn’t hurt, just a little confused, and the footage cuts to the owner’s uncontrollable laughter as the dog shakes it off.
It’s a light-hearted reminder that even the best-laid plans can go hilariously wrong, especially when pets are involved. With thousands of views and comments piling in, it's safe to say this four-legged friend has already left his mark on the new home, quite literally.
