The key to this prank is to get as many tennis balls as possible. Get on the roof, and start slowly dropping the neon bouncers into the lawn where your dog plays. Then when your pup least expects it, drop as many balls as you can into their play space. Watch as they wrestle with joy and confusion. Plus, you won't have to get a new supply of toys anytime soon.

This particular prank went viral a while ago, with videos of confused puppers popping up all over the internet. The trick is simple: You hold up a blanket in front of you, poke your head over so your dog knows you're behind it, then lift it up and sprint off before the blanket falls. Chaos ensues as your doggo tries to understand your disappearing act.

Does your dog love drinking out of the toilet? Get your revenge by putting clear plastic over your seat on April Fools’ Day, and try not to laugh too loud when your dog confusedly tries to shove their face into it. Don't leave your dog unsupervised with the plastic though — you don't want them ingesting any of it. And hey, this might be the best way to train them not to continue this bad hydrating habit.

Pooches who aren't used to animatronic toys will flip if you introduce them to one. Simply press go and watch your pooch lose it at this mysterious robot who has infiltrated their home. You can also pull this one off with a Roomba or really any robot vaccum of your choice.

Kitties are well-known for freaking out when they see the glow from a laser pointer, but dogs will also go into a frenzy when they can’t catch that little red dot. Just be sure not to shine it into your pup's eye because dogs are even more sensitive to light than humans, so the bright light can permanently damage their vision.

My dog loses his mind when I use a paper towel roll as a makeshift megaphone, barking at me like crazy whenever the cardboard tube distorts my voice. Collect a bunch of rolls and get your whole family to call for your pup through the tubes. They'll either love the attention, hate the octave change, or not even notice a difference.

Dogs, like people, get spooked by masks, especially because they don't understand what they are. Get a cheap mask from your local party store, and your dog will be freaked — at the very least curious — for sure. Maybe wait to do this one until after you've taken them on their morning walk though — you don't want to have to clean up an unexpected accident.

All you need for this prank is a recording of a dog bark on your phone. Put your device in your pocket, press play on the sound effect, and bask in the glory of your pupper trying to find the source of the mystery bark.

It's a classic for a reason. Take your pup to the park, and have hours of fun as your pretend to throw their favorite ball. Make sure your faux toss is convincing, and be sure to actually throw the ball eventually. Your pup deserves it.

If you've got a puppy who hasn't faced a mirror yet, place a full length one in front of one of your pup's favorite play spots, and have a laugh as the dog takes on his greatest enemy: himself.

Got any close-up magic skills? Instead of making a coin disappear this April Fools’ Day, make some kibble or doggy treat vanish before your pup's very eyes. Make sure to give the good boy the treat after you're done pranking, though.

This prank is great if you have a two-story home. Attach a dog bone to a string, and dangle it over the bannister as your pup walks by. When they try to jump up to reach it, yank it out of reach. Put up baby gates to make the joke extra intense, and make sure you give your pup the bone after a few minutes of fun. You don't want to totally lose her trust.

This joke relies on your dog’s inability to fully comprehend bodies of water. Have your pup sit on the edge of a lake, go underwater, and then resurface right next to them. They're all but guaranteed to be spooked by your apparent teleportation.

Put all your leftover holiday wrapping paper to good use and wrap your pup’s favorite toys when he’s not looking. Not only will he be totally confused, he’ll probably pass lots of time trying to free his toys from the paper.

When it’s feeding time, act like you’re about to pour food into your dog’s bowl — then, at the last second, switch it for a head of lettuce. Watch your dog sniff quizzically at this very new kind of dinner (but be sure to switch it out for his real food before he gets too hungry).
