- Three years after "Cat vs. Dog: A Trick Contest", Nana the Border Collie and Kaiser the Bengal cat are back and ready to take on new challengers. But do the rats have what it takes to bring home the trophy for the best tricks?
There are two contests being held in this video: Dog vs. Rat and Cat vs. Rat. Who should the winners be??
This video was made by popular request. All behaviours are taught exclusively with positive reinforcement and clicker training.
No footage is played in reverse. All animals are performing these behaviours as shown, including walking backwards.
Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you all enjoy!

Wait- You trained a cat? How?!
This is one of my favorite videos of yours. Rats are like tiny dogs with hands. What's most amazing to me about rats is the amount of character and personality that can be packed into such a small and short-lived mammal--they have been selected to be ever more intelligent over the millenia. It's obvious that your animals are among the luckiest pets alive - they always look super happy and healthy and cognitively engaged. That takes a lot of commitment. Thanks for sharing them with us--brilliant.
+scrubjay93 Thank you for your benevolent words, and for enjoying their videos. Agreed! Rats are certainly among the most wonderful companion animals on this Earth, and it is truly remarkable how much they give in their short lives.
Im a cat lover but the rats won hands down when it was raising the flag!
Raising the Canadian flag was cute as hell..
Nice. The only trick my rats know is to knock over full beer bottles.
never though i would see a rat raise a flag
+thethijsy Oh, Canada!
They all win. They are amazing animals and trainer, well done all of you, it always warms my heart to see these vids.Can I come and live with you please, i'v only got 36 years to live, it's my living wish!
I agree
Rest Peacfully, my sweet Raven (January 2013-August 2015).

+NanaBorderCollie Oh no, I'm sorry for your lost
+NanaBorderCollie oh no! Raven died????
+NanaBorderCollie Awww no! I hope he was in no pain when he died. Sweet little Raven. :(
+NanaBorderCollie raven was so cute WHYYYYYY
+MoonlightProductions She was cute, but trouble. I miss her tremendously.
I don't understand how anyone could dislike this video.
I know right its a cute video and dogs,cat and rat are all smart
i keep watching it over and over again it's so cute and awesome
I think the rats won. If small animals can do the same as cats and dogs then I find that extremely impressive!❤️
Absolutely without a doubt the best made videos with the best trained animals that I have ever seen on You Tube. Unbelievable production ! Family friendly and as good as any professional production in Hollywood . WOW ! Thanks for sharing.
+markeccard Thank you! I am glad you enjoy their videos. :)
I think the rats won because they did everything faster plus rats are one my favorite animals. But Nana and Kaiser did great too.
The rats!!! Cause they are just too cute!!!😄😄😄
I agree
Me too
By far the most entertaining video! The rats have stolen this show with all their amazing antics and tricks. Absolutely adorable! But I still love Nana and Kai too so they're also winners in my eyes.
Merry Christmas to you and the furries!
the rats are the winners
When I saw the rat raising the Canadian flag we knew it was patriotic and we knew we had a winner.
When the mice roll the container while standing inside I was thinking free electricity
When I saw the mice climbing across the line I thought to myself Rambo pt 5
That's one beautiful/handsome cat
You learned your pets to pickpocket wallets XD
Taught, not learned, and I doubt it went to any use like that
Nice Training !!!!
Absolutely FANTASTIC and AMAZING! I'm sooo impressed!
I've been training working dogs myself for a number of years so I know what a dog can do, but with a cat or a rat?!?!
I had rats in my youth (in the 80s) and loved them dearly. Not all of my friends did, though. Had to "lock them up" in their huge cage (multi-level) sometimes. You had to make them really tame and give them things to do or they'd make mischief. ;)
"Bows" to you from Sweden!
I will always vote for Your Bengal Kaiser. Outstanding! im always amazed how could you train a cat to do so many tricks,and so hard ones! in all youtube or internet i've never seen smarter cat than Kaiser. Keep up your good and fun relationship with animals. oh, and rats surprised me too. That slow backwards walking.. :)
This is way too cool! You're a fantastic trainer, keep on doing :)
Ohmygod This is amazing! You are one wonderful trainer, and you have done an amazing job training these pets!
We give the prize to Raven and Famous!
I'm sorry for your loss of Raven. They seem to go too quickly :( Anyhow, great video. Amazing tricks.
Omg please tell me how you got your dog to do a hand stand
I have been having a really bad and stressful day today with all my anxiety..this really made me smile and I hope to teach my dogs these tricks.
I still think this is one of the most amazing videos on all of CZcams. Love your clicker training!!! Your love of your fur family (and their love for you) is evident
RATS! GO! RAAATS! YOU RULE! RATS!
Ratties win!
i go for rats! All made awesome tricks! But I have never seen a rat balking backwards!
I think the rats won. And, SOOOOOO CUTE!!!
Kaiser and Nana won in my opinion.
omg. I love this. Have to say the quality of your video from the first contest to this video has totally improved
The ones who dislikes this are dumb! Nana,Kaiser,Famous and Raven are awesome!
It's a tie and that's is amazing how you trained them to do that!😊
Adorable! It would have been cool if you had Famous do her skateboard trick to oppose Nana's skateboarding trick. Still, all the tricks were so cute, especially the one where Nana and Famous are stealing money from the wallet! And Nana lifting the hoop was especially impressive! As was Kaiser's trick of pushing the shopping cart!
Nana, and Kaiser are the winner's!!!.. Nana just has that winning attitude, you can't help but Love her!!!
My dog can do a lot of tricks but we haven't come close to that
You are amazing! Making all of them learn all those tricks is admirable. Rats are surprisingly intelligent... I only realized that when I got one several years ago. I must add that your Kaiser is freaking beautiful! And also, may Raven rest peacefully...
rats are freaking amazing! I really didnt expect that xD
AMAZING TRICKS! Nice job training the rats!
how do you teach them al those tricks?
Kaiser wins, did a backflip🙀🙀🙀🙀
Yup I think she should win too I always wanted a Bengal cat
I'm so sorry for your loss... Poor, dearest Raven, I'm sure she's had a good run. :')
Even thought I didn't know her, she's part of my heart. :(
+Tem From Tem Village Raven died?
Fuzz Buzz Yeah...
This is like the cutest video I've seen on CZcams
Raaats!! I own two and i love them more than anything❤
rats win, I love rats. sadly I cant get one
Same I'm allergic to rats😫😫
I'm crying this is way too cute and I love how you have NOT ONLY A CAT TRAINED, WHICH IS VERY HARD TO, but you got a friggin rat! OML~
I loved the video! Congratulations on the good work!
Ratties win! Oh wait... don't look at my profile picture! I'm not biased! PFFT! ;)
Sahali Beaudette This made a lot more sense when my profile picture was a rat...
R.I.P raven he will always be in our hearts :(
This video is amazing, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. :(
Very impressive animal training you are gifted.
NanaBorderCollie You should make how to train your animals tutorials. Haven't seen all your video yet but if you haven't already, make some animal training tutorials.
The rats are the CLEAR winners with due respect to the amazing intelligence as a breed of border Collie's and while cats aren't typically in that range of 'braininess' your cat was pretty sharp Even vs. a dog as smart as a Border Collie, it's the rats all the way.
I love watching your videos and they all look so happy. Well done.
you and your fur friends are amazing! so talented!
Nana and Kaiser
Oh so cute. That's it they all win...lol
The cat doing the backflips.
That.
Was.
*AMAZING*
They all win! Great job training them !!!!!
im sorry for your loss i know what it feels like
What an incredibly cute video! Rats are my favorite kind of pet, but Kaiser and Nana are super adorable, too! What kind of a cat is Kaiser?
He is a Bengal.
I have to go with rats cause they're adorable! But I still think Nana and Kaiser did fantastic! Keep it up!
i named one of my rats raven after your rat R.I.P raven
they all win i love it u earned a sub and a like!
nana:i can do the arm forward
kaiser:i can do a backflip
famous:i can tightrope
raven:i can get to the otherside with my hands
I miss Raven 😔😥😰😢😭
+emma thomas I miss her, too. :(
+NanaBorderCollie at least she is resting in peace 😔
This proves that any kind of pet can be trained. I'm so impressed !
i love the editing on this
cat and dog wins!
lol watching this video makes me want to buy and train a rat! and for some reason it also makes me want to train a budgie to dance! XD
I can't decide. I really like all the tricks!
It MUST be Raven and Nana! They were so good, but kaiser and famous did really well too.
Famous and Raven rekt those 2.
I have to go wiith the 🐀 🐭 its amazing how u train them to do tricks it make me want to get 1
I think Nana and Famous wins cause their good at their new tricks, that was really awesome.
Die-hard Team Cat but the rat raising the little flag is one of the cutest things I've ever seen. Rats are brilliant.
I'm afraid to say the rats win. Sorry.
Kaiser and Famous because Famous is blind and Kaiser was more graceful and it looked like he tried harder.
They are amazing. All were great. :)
i cant express how happy this video makes me. WONDERFULL job of training them! I have yet to clickertrain my cats and rats. For now only my horse and dog are clickertrained.
iv herd some are on the internet that famous the rat is BLIND? is that true?
Yes, she was blind her entire life.
aw, poor famous
NanaBorderCollie
How did you teach a blind rat to do tricks?
Wait did famous die too!!!!!
All of the rats performing in this video have passed on.
i like raven he/she looks like my old rat.....
Awesome! The animals did super work☺️
The rats were amazing, but I still think the cat won. It's amazing what Kaiser can do when cats don't usually perform tricks and are much harder to train than dogs. Also I'm sorry about Raven. R.I.P Raven. :(
Ur animals r so clever smarter than me atleast so sad to hear abiut raven rip i love watching ur vids i used to hate rats but now i love them and there one of my fav animals if not my fav thanks for all the vids- riley
+Sexy Magoon I am so elated to hear that! You are most welcome. :)
to be honest im jellous of ur pets by the way your pets are awesome
Wow you're a great trainer! I plan on getting rats and if I want to teach them tricks I should watch you're videos
Amazing! I did't know rats could be trained to do so many thing, wow!
Wow I never new rats could do that and they are so cute when they do it two!! X 😇😇
+Gracie Peleshok rats are wildly intelligent. FAR more so than cats or dogs, from what i've read
+Frosty. actually rats are on par with a mature Labrador, German Shepherd, Husky, Collie or any other "smartest" dog breeds"
+Waspish_ Jupiter I beg to differ. I work as a professional studio animal trainer and I have been training all species of animals, wild and domestic, for over a decade. I have worked with hundreds of dogs over the years of varying breeds, including every breed you have listed. I find rats to show signs of a higher intelligence level than even the smartest dogs by my experience. When training a group of rats versus a group of dogs, each individual dog has to be specifically and meticulously trained a behaviour if each dog in the group is to learn the same behaviour. With rats, I simply work on a behaviour with one rat while the group watches. In a few minutes, the rest of the group is copying the rat that is learning the behaviour when they see that they are earning rewards, and usually within about 3-5 minutes an entire group of rats has learned the same trick even though I only worked with one rat. I have had people ask me how I trained my rat Suki, for example, to weave through poles in her agility course. The truth is, I never taught her. At all. I had been guiding Shadow, another rat, through the poles while Suki watched, then she dashed up during the training session and weaved through the poles flawlessly without any training on my part. I have had this happen more times than I can count (and yes, Shadow did eventually learn to weave after watching Suki). I even filmed one of the times Suki attempted to copy Shadow doing a trick (search for "Epic Rat Tricks" on my channel) This is something that I have never observed in any dogs. Don't get me wrong, dogs are extremely intelligent animals and in some areas, such as reading human expressions, I believe they show a higher level of intelligence than rats. But when it comes to training and learning tricks, dogs are simply no match for a rat's intelligence.
They're all so gosh darn cute!! I can't decide who won. :)
I've been trying to decide on what animal I want to get in the future.. I'm still a university student right now so it'll be awhile anyway, but I'm stuck between cats, rats and dogs! hahaha Would a border collie be a bad dog for a first time dog owner? Or would they be good, as long as you keep them active? I love running, so I was wondering if an hour long run with me every day would be enough exercise for a collie? I'd love to get one, but not if I can't keep it happy! I know they can get destructive if you don't get their energy out, too. I'd also love to teach it tricks. :)
***** Whether Border Collies make "good" or "bad" first-time dogs depends entirely on the person who will be the potential owner. For some people, they are the best breed out there... for others, they are their worst nightmare. A run down the road each day will not satiate a Border Collie's immense exercise needs. Border Collies are high-energy dogs that require a significant amount of both physical AND mental exercise each day that goes above and beyond a mere walk down the road or a game of frisbee. They need to be challenged, and quickly bore with activities that are simple or repetitive. Trick training and participating in dog sports (obedience, agility, flyball, freestyle, etc.) are an excellent outlet for a Border Collie's energy and it keeps their mind busy. You are correct; Border Collies can be destructive and exhibit behavioural issues if they are not provided with sufficient physical and mental exercise daily. But any dog can, regardless of the breed. Border Collies are also a long-term commitment (like any dog) so you must prepare yourself to sufficiently exercise and challenge your collie every day of his/her life, which could be up to 18 years. So long as you have the time, creativity, and patience to devote to a Border Collie, they are the best companions you could ask for.
I've decided against a border collie just because I don't want to get one and then find out it's too much for me. I don't want to be that kind of person. Goldens are nice, but I'm leaning toward a Japanese Spitz right now. :) (Very similar to American Eskimo). But, I have a few more years to come to a decision. :P Thanks for the advice guys!
***** If you're in an apartment, I don't think the Collie is a good choice. This is just because university work probably won't let you spend huge amounts of time with the dog, and that coupled with a small living area could create a lot of issues. If you do have lots of time to spend though, I'd make sure that there's an off-leash park so you can play fetch with it. That way they can run at their full speed quite a bit, which I almost guarantee is better than your full speed. I'd definitely recommend a good amount of time off leash playing in addition to the hour run each day.
OMG! You are so amaizing in training these intelligent pets.👏🏼💖
You are a very very good trainer! And your animals are amazing!!!
4:35-5:00
Did you make that little trash can for your rat Famous?
+Jeana Marie Pizzo Maggio Someone gave me the trash can for her as a gift. Not sure where they bought it, but I was told that it was supposed to be a desk accessory holder.
NanaBorderCollie That's cool.
the rats 1 !!!!!!!! :)
LMFAOOO *LOVE* THE EDITING 😂😂😂. MASTERPIECE
Wow, your rats are extremely well-trained; I knew of their intelligence and ability to learn tricks but I was unaware of how much they really could learn! Perhaps you could do a tutorial video on some of their tricks and behaviors?
Rats won by far!!
rats win
Your animals are fantastic!
Love these guys!
