9 Dogs Who Can’t Wait To Tear Open Christmas Gifts [VIDEOS]

Christmas morning means one thing: it’s officially time to open presents! However, it’s not just humans who get to partake in the fun. Your dog is a part of the family, after all, which means they should get to open gifts, too.

A dog opening up their Christmas present is the definition of cute. If you decide to get your own dog a present this Christmas, just make sure to be safe! Always supervise if you’re going to let a dog open their own presents, and avoid choking hazards.

Here are some of our favorite videos of dogs reacting to their very own Christmas presents!

1. Huskies Get Help With Presents



Sometimes your doggies need a little assistance opening presents. These three cute Siberian Huskies may be excited about their gifts, but they have some trouble understanding the concept of ripping the wrapping paper.

Thankfully their humans have opposable thumbs and come to the rescue. One of the pups is so happy she starts eating the bone before it’s even fully unwrapped.

2. Three Hilarious Wiener Dogs



These three Dachshunds cannot contain their excitement for Christmas. Even before their human gives them their presents, the three of them can’t stop wagging their tails, jumping on their hind legs, and staring at the gifts.

These dogs are just like children on Christmas Eve who can’t sleep because they’re so excited to open their presents. This video proves just why every dog should be a part of the fun of Christmas.

3. Rescue Dog Opens First Christmas Present



In this sweet and heartwarming video, a rescue dog opens a Christmas present for the very first time. At first he is a bit unsure of what to do, but with a little reassurance from his human, he gets it!

He is obviously a very smart doggo because he figured out how to get the toy out of the wrapping paper all by himself. This video most definitely represents the spirit of Christmas.

4. Dogs Opening Presents Compilation



What’s better than one dog opening Christmas presents? A compilation of dogs opening presents, of course! This video features all types of dogs from Poodles to French Bulldogs participating in the Christmas present opening.

No matter the breed, it seems that all kinds of dogs share in the enthusiasm of opening Christmas gifts. In each clip the dogs cannot stop wagging their tails. Christmas presents and dogs are the perfect combination!

5. Adorable Beagles Open Presents



Bob and Tucker the Beagles are celebrating their first Christmas ever. Watch as these two adorable pups eagerly open their present together.

Even before their human gives them their gifts, they’re staring at her with the classic puppy dog eyes. How could you not give these two presents?

In the chaos of the doggies’ excitement, Tucker hilariously gets the bag stuck on his head while trying to get his gift.

6. Australian Cattle Dog Opens Present



Maggie the Australian Cattle Dog has a very unique way of opening presents. Instead of tearing at the gift wrapping with her paw or biting it, Maggie decides to try a new technique. She aggressively shakes her head and the present back and forth in her mouth.

She’s definitely determined to open her present no matter what it takes! It looks like her method works because, through the hilarity, she manages to get it open.

7. Pug Steals Golden Retriever’s Present



Toby the Golden Retriever is a professional Christmas present opener. However, Darla the Pug-Boston mix is a professional Grinch. Every time Toby opens his present, Darla swoops in and steals his gift and runs away.

The funny part is that Toby seems to really enjoy opening gifts, so he doesn’t mind as long as he gets to just open another present. Maybe one day Darla will learn to have better sharing skills.

8. Dogs Roll In Christmas Presents



Nothing says you love Christmas more than literally rolling around in your presents. This dog is so thrilled about the holiday that he rolls in a pile of his gifts and wrapping paper. Now that is one happily spoiled pup!

These dogs appear to really love Christmas because they’re completely surrounded by a mountain of presents. Their life doesn’t seem all that bad, to be honest. Wouldn’t you love to switch places?

9. Patient Present Opener



Savannah is one patient dog. She’s very well-trained and waits specifically for her human to tell her it’s okay to open her present. Unlike some naughty kids who open their presents early, Savannah knows she’s not supposed to open her gifts until her parents tell her.

She even knows immediately which gift is meant for her just by the smell and doesn’t go after the human presents. Savannah is the type of dog every pet parent wishes they had.
