A cute scene unfolds as ten-week-old golden retriever puppy Jackson lazily plays tug-of-war with his owner on the floor at their home in San Francisco, California. Instead of putting in much effort, Jackson simply lies there, holding onto the toy in his mouth while his owner, Joseph Simon, tries to pull him around. Despite Jackson’s lack of participation, Joseph remains hopeful that his playful pup will eventually get into the game and enjoy a more energetic round of tug-of-war.
Since Joseph Simon, 33, and his girlfriend brought Jackson into their home, tug of war has become the pup’s go-to game, and he has his own unique way of playing it. Instead of putting up a strong fight, Jackson tends to lazily hold on while moving his feet as if he’s standing up. In a video, Joseph can be heard jokingly telling Jackson they need to work on his “tugging ability” as the little dog lounges on the floor. The laid-back version of tug of war for Jackson involves him being pulled around like a mop while he holds on with his mouth. After a fun-filled day of playing, footage shows Jackson relaxing on the sofa on his back, with Joseph asking if he’s comfortable and the pup moving his legs in response.
In a video captured in San Francisco, California, a ten-week-old golden retriever puppy named Jackson can be seen lying flat on the floor while being pulled around by his owner. According to Joseph, Jackson has discovered that if he grips onto something with his jaw, his parents will drag him across the hardwood floor, almost like a mop. Joseph mentioned that they are trying to teach Jackson to stay on his feet, but he keeps pulling his toy onto the hardwood floor and lying back down. Despite the challenges, Joseph remains hopeful that Jackson will eventually grasp the concept of the game. He mentioned that they have been practicing on a rug, and Jackson seems to be improving, but being a young pup, he still enjoys the sensation on his teeth. Joseph added with a chuckle that Jackson is growing rapidly and is keeping busy by destroying furniture like any other mischievous puppy would.
