Simone Biles Coaches Canines For Doggy Gymnastics on Nickelodeon's 'Mutt & Stuff' (Exclusive)
Simone Biles does it all — she wins gold medals, she dances, and now, she even coaches dogs in gymnastics — on Nickelodeon’s Mutt & Stuff, that is.
The GOAT Olympic gymnast has a guest spot on the kids television show this week, where she invites Calvin and the dogs to join her gymnastics team. But something goes wrong — the dogs forget to pack important items for the competition!
“It was amazing,” Simone tells JJJ exclusively about her appearance and working with canine co-stars.
“I feel like they embraced the moments that we had on set. I wasn’t there for a long, long time on set, but I was there to get them know them a little bit and how they worked with each other.”
And before you ask, yes, she was definitely distracted by their cuteness (we would be too!)
“I have a bad habit of any dog I see being like ‘Oh my gosh, come here, can I pet them?’,” she says. “I tried not to do that because these dogs had a job to do just as much I did.”
Simone also opened up about the tricks that all the dogs were doing and she was definitely impressed.
“They’re actually doing some pretty amazing tricks, that I was even surprised about watching,” she admits. “There was one trick where they can walk on the beam and turn around. I was like ‘Is this dog for real?’”
Simone adds, “I mean, they have four paws, and I have two feet. I know one in front of the other, but they have four and I still don’t know how they coordinate that. Then after the beam, they’d jump off the walk and jump through hoops.”
We’re impressed!
