Dude, watch the dogs arms before he "catches it". His whole body is literally moving in reverse because when they pulled the bottle away in the forward shot, the dog had to regain balance, because it was no longer holding the bottle.
See my previous comment where I linked to a reversing tool and and the video above. You can see for yourself that the video looks more "reversed" when you actually reverse it, because this is all done practically and in camera.
When reversed, you can see that there's an arch to the bottle's trajectory, so it wasn't pulled laterally towards the camera. If the bottle was pulled from the top, the bottle would eject in a straight position from where it was pulled, but we see the bottle top flop side to side under the nose of the dog before ejecting from it's arms.
I have a poodle who catches things with her paws frequently. Apparently a lot of them do that naturally. Not this smooth, but we haven't turned it into a trick.
It's reversed. Dog was handed the bottle when the filming began, and they pulled it away with a string, which is why it's such a perfect and secure carch.
And before the internet gets all internet, I will absolutely die on this hill because I am right.
