text: First this dog helped do the dishes, now he's been trained to use the toilet - and even puts the lid down once he's finished. Baron the German Shepherd was captured in a video using the toilet after he began learning the impressive skill a few weeks ago. In the footage, the five-month-old pup enters the bathroom and lifts up the toilet seat. He then climbs up balancing his paws on the raised seat cover as he holds himself up and hovers over the toilet while relieving himself. Once he's finished, he puts down both the toilet seat and flushes before running out. Viewers' reactions of the video, which to date has been viewed more than 16,400,000 times, mostly included that Baron did the job better than most men. One viewer wrote: 'He could teach a few men some tricks. Even puts the lid down!!' Another wrote: 'I want to live with him, he puts the toilet seat down!!!!!!'

Earlier this month, Baron was seen in footage helping with some housework as he reached up and grabbed rinsed goods between his teeth from the sink, before he loaded them into the dishwasher at home in California.
