Man wants to train: What his German shepherd puppy does next makes millions laugh

Plymouth (England) - Now he has to come to terms with it: Nick Chapman (26) recently got himself puppy girl Leia. Since then, the little whirlwind hasn't been making things too easy for her owner. A viral Instagram video of the young man shows exactly what that means.

Chapman, who lives with Leia in Plymouth, England, tries to complete his training program in the video. But he doesn't get any further than the push-ups.

Because the little German shepherd keeps biting and nipping the 26-year-old. Leia clearly doesn't like the fact that her master is more interested in his workout than in her.

Although Chapman tries to talk the cute puppy down after a while, the little dog doesn't care at all. Quite the opposite: Leia intensifies her "biting program", which fortunately doesn't hurt yet.

And so her owner has to laugh again and again as he desperately tries to get through his training.

Meanwhile, the video hits the audience like a bomb.

It has received more than nine million clicks and almost 400,000 likes since the end of September. There are also countless teary-eyed emojis in the comments section.

"I try to train from home, but that's often not possible," said the Brit in an interview with Newsweek this week. However, he realized that Leia was just playing.

In any case, Chapman doesn't mind that his cute furry friend keeps him from training. Because: "We have a great bond that means everything to me," he told the US magazine.

However, the joy of this kind of interruption is likely to be short-lived. Because as soon as Leia is fully grown in a few months' time, her bites are likely to become painful.

By then at the latest, her owner should have a plan for how to get to his training sessions unharmed.
