Golden Retrievers Ellie and Emma are here to show their little bro how it's done.

In a viral clip, proud papa Kevin Bubolz holds out his hand to the baby for a high five.

Unsurprisingly, nothing happens, and the baby doesn't understand a thing.

But then the dogs intervene.

Ellie is especially keen for a high-five with her dad and stretches her paw upwards, demanding it.

Of course, he accepts this help gratefully and indulges the furry friend.

Then he tries again with the baby, holding out his hand.

And sure enough, Connor lifts his hand and really does high-five his dad, who is happy as a clam and jumps for joy.

But his Golden Retrievers are not finished with the lesson yet! After all, they still have to test whether this was just a fluke.

Ellie and Emma each high-five their owner once more, after which the father turns to his little son expectantly and holds out his hand to him again.

Sure enough, Connor seems to have really understood the assignment after all! Satisfied, the pet owner throws the helpful dogs another tennis ball to celebrate a job well done.
