The Great Escape

So, lately, we've been walking in the door from work to find that Dino has somehow let himself out of his room. There's no way he can jump the gate, it's 3 feet tall and he's 3 inches tall. We tried everything down to rigging the gate with poster board so he'd have no traction when trying to climb... only to find that he still somehow escaped, poster board untouched and in perfect condition.

Undoubtedly, Dino is acrobatically inclined, but still whines for help getting up and down from our 1.5 foot high couches. Is he really THAT smart? Climbing walls and jumping 3 feet in the air when we're not home and pretending he can't climb the curb in the driveway while we're there?

We finally caught him. So now, his punishment: I shall exploit his agile ways and he will be my trick monkey from now until the day he dies.

And you can't see it in the video, but when he landed, it was on all four feet, perfectly, and then he immediately bounced back up for the finish: on two legs with his front paws posed straight in the air.
