Alex, 21, of Berkshire, said: “Ollie has always loved learning new tricks, but I didn’t actually teach him how to ‘bow’ until October of last year.

“He picked it up so quickly, and he was so controlled and still, I thought it would be funny to try and balance something on his butt when it was in the air.

“I’ve seen loads of dogs balancing things on their heads so I thought it would be really funny if Ollie could do it on his booty.

“The first thing I tried was a pumpkin for a Halloween photo and he did it easily. Ollie loves getting praise for doing his tricks so I decided to keep training and go for even crazier objects.

"People absolutely loved it and it got hundreds of thousands of likes in just 24 hours.

“He’s a really clever boy so it’s important I keep him busy so that he doesn’t get bored. Performing his tricks is a great way of keeping him active, and he adores the attention.

“I’m really proud of what a talented boy he is, he always works so hard on his tricks.

"Most dogs wouldn’t stay still for long enough to balance such crazy items, so Ollie really is a special dog."
