2D Sprite animation: How do I put animator layers on different GameObjects?

I have a 2D animated sprite character on a GameObject, and I have two layers (one synced to base layer) in my animator. How do I get the second layer to animate on another GameObject?

I found the following video which seems to show how to do it:
