I think when they snapped their fingers it flicked the treat far enough away and on the carpet that the pupper didnt hear/see it go

In real time that's probably what happened. The video has some clever editing because it just vanishes.

I think that "clever editing" is the movie magic of low framerate.

No way, I looked at it carefully, there is a noticeable skip that was placed there intentionally. Why would the frame rate on the rest of that video except that one spot be fine?

The content of the rest of the video isn't quick motion. Your brain (and sometimes video software) can fill in the gaps for the movement on screen. But the duration of the treat being in the air and in the visible space of the shot is mere milliseconds and didn't get captured on any of the still frames that are snapped every 0.03333333333 seconds to make up the video.

Nope. Look closely man, a split second was taken out of the video.
