Some owners struggle to teach their pet dogs simple tricks like 'sit', 'lie down', 'stay' and 'roll over'.

But those are a breeze for one enthusiastic Australian Shepherd, who shows off some impressive sledging abilities that even some humans aren't capable of.

In the footage, Secret the three-year-old pooch drags a blue sledge to the top of a snowy hill by her teeth.

Sledding!❄❤ We finally got enough snow to really sled yesterday and Secret couldn't be more thrilled! It's definitely one of her favorite activities, she probably went down this hill 50 times today!😂💞 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Follow my Pawtners @marvelous_marble_ @bluebearaussie

Once Secret gets to the peak of the steep hill she drops the sledge at her feet and takes a run up and jumps on to it.

She flies down the hill with all four feet firmly on the blue board, showing a fine display of balance as she makes it all the way down to the very bottom.

Clearly enjoying it, the pooch hops off the sledge and immediately starts dragging it up the hill as she gets ready to go again.

Her owner, Mary, dedicates the social media account to her friendship with Secret and the pair have 295,000 followers.
