The clips in the TikTok video document how duck Remi is taught by her owner to ride a skateboard.

You can see the duck's owner first learning to get on the little board by luring and rewarding her with her favorite treats.

"After she got the hang of getting on the board, I added the command 'Let's go,'" reads the video's voiceover.

“The next thing I had to do was get him to push the board.” However, the owner also notes that Remi is still a baby and training requires a lot of patience.

"After he got used to getting on and off the board, I slowly pushed him back and forth to get him used to the movement," the narrator continued in the video's voicover.

"When I say 'Let's go,' he knows he has to get on the board." Then the owner puts the food on the ground a little way away instead of hand-feeding.
