They say old dogs aren't ones for learning new tricks, but this pooch seems like he's trying to teach a few to the family's newest addition.

Dakota, the family's border collie, seems just as excited as baby Alexis is about her new jolly jumper. As Ally, as her mom calls her in the video, bounces up and down, Day paces back and forth with her. And each time Ally takes a little hop, Day does the same and pops up into the air.

It may be that Dakota is just excited or even a little confused by Ally's bouncing shadow on the tile, but it's a lot more fun to think, as mom Sabrina Sauve did, that the dog is trying to teach the baby a thing or two about jumping.
