Liam Thompson’s videos frequently star his pet Labradoodle, Max, showing off his unique skill set performing human activities. Unsurprisingly, the fans love these videos. As per his YouTube catalog, Thompson has taught his dog to enact astonishing tricks and engage in interesting activities, including hugging Thompson when he’s sorry, bowing to the cat, Frodo, and even writing his name.

To teach Max the basics of the widely played title, Thompson customized his keyboard as per Max’s requirement. He detached all keys from his keyboard, barring two, one to move forward and the other for left-click. He then added cardboard paddles to the key to simplify the task for Max. Thompson referred to the keyboard as “a horrendously over simplified keyboard that Max can play Minecraft on,” followed by changing the controls to “dog mode.”

Of course, it took the YouTuber a million attempts and dog-treats to teach Max how to use the keys on command. Thankfully, Thompson was ultimately able to teach Max to use one key as “Destroy” and the other to “Walk” on Thompson’s command. Max then went on a spider-killing spree, destroying every spider in sight.
