Would y'all be laughing if someone had tried to take the bone away and was severely bitten by this dog? Or if someone walked by and was bitten? Because thats whats going to happen eventually. This dog is displaying some major obsessive, anxiety driven aggression, and is very close to a bite. This kind of behavior is not appropriate in a family dog, they need to view their people as their pack and their pack is ultimatly whos in charge of the dogs behavior. Allowing this to go on is doing the dog a disservice, hes not able to be relaxed and happy chewin' on a bone with his pack.
I saw nothing funny about this video and would hope that if anyone I knew ever had a dog that acted this way, they would seek help from a GOOD dog behavioralist/trainer.
And I wont even go into the intestinal problems that can be caused by rawhide!
That dog needs Cesar Milan for sure! When I worked at the shelter(I'm sure ya'll are sick of hearing about) there was a dog that was so psycho that he was so freaked out by his tail that he ended up chewing it completely off. It was a no kill shelter and no one felt comfortable adopting him out-because he was psycho- and I know, I had to give him his shots. Anyway, the director had to take him home herself. Freak dog. I agree that dog on the video needs some serious help. I would never allow my dog to act that way.
TheZoo, I love your "Debbie Downer" way of delivering bad news
I agree with you (or Debbie Downer) and jodi. While it's funny to see that dog in a video, I would never get near a dog like that in real life. Jodi, you're a saint for working at a no-kill shelter, but I couldn't do it. I, too, would never let a dog I owned behave that poorly. I shudder to think how he must act at the vet, or when his owners have to give him meds...
Sorry, I couldn't think of a funny way to say it, like TheZoo did. I'm just glad that's not my dog or my problem. I bet the owners barely ever take that dog out of the house thus feeding into a vicious cycle of worse and worse behavior.
I gotta be honest.... That was wierd. Wasn't normal... just looked wrong. I kinda feel bad for the dog, for whatever possessed him/her to pull those tantrums..
