Swedish pet owner leaves biscuits on the table in front dog but it refuses them

• Jonna Jinton from Sweden left her dog looking at two biscuits on the table
• Pooch attempted to avoid eye contact with them and resisted temptation
• Owner left the room but the dog refused to take the food from the plate
• Later Jonna returned and rewarded the disciplined pooch with a biscuit 

A pooch showcased its incredible self-discipline and patience when its owner left food well within its reach and then exited the room.

The video was posted to the internet by Jonna Jinton, a 25-year-old who grew up in Gothenburg but now lives in a small Swedish village in Vasternorrland.

In the clip the dog sits up on a chair and immediately goes to check out a couple of biscuits, which have been left on a plate on the table.

Jonna told the dog to stay before wandering off to leave her pet alone to its own devices

Jonna commands the dog to stay before wandering off to leave the dog alone to its own devices, within touching distance of the food.

For around the first seven seconds the pooch follows the movements of its owner before turning around and making eye contact with the biscuits.

Trying not to tease itself, the dog immediately looks away and out of the window and rather humorously appears to focus on other things.

Once the biscuits are well and truly out of its mind, the pooch leans back in the chair and moves itself further away from the food.

The dog stays in this position for some time before looking back around at the biscuits, resting its head on the table and sitting back up straight again.

The biggest test is yet to come however as Jonna appears to leave the room and the dog alone with the food.

But despite the fact that its owner is not around to command control, the patient pooch stays focussed and avoids giving in to temptation.

Later Jonna returns to the house and rewards the dog for not crumbling under the pressure by feeding it one of the biscuits.

The dog then leans in as if intending to eat the other biscuit but quickly decides against it and licks the plate before sitting away from it once again.

The clip concludes with the patient pooch resting its head on the table and day-dreaming about the other biscuit.
