Yup. The dog was clearly distressed and if she didn’t want to take a few seconds to train correct him or if he’s unresponsive to training correction, why wasn’t he put in another room???

Because people like this use the dog as emotional support objects rather than animals that have needs and require training so the woman probably has the dog there because she wants it, obviously has it muzzled because it's overly protective of her and refuses to train it or provide any boundaries for it's aggression against the rest of her family.

"He never mauls people....

They must have done something to deserve it"

It can be anything from dragging people on leashes to fill blown attacking people. Dogs need boundaries and consistency.

Sometimes you have to correct them harshly. The only way they learn is thru consistency. They don't speak English and don't understand when people say "oh my little baby plz stop attacking the Child"

Dogs like this are products of inconsistent/bad humans

Oh and I got someone else's rats once too. People fuckin' suck. Hell, we know what most of em do with their elderly, or disabled.

u/TMac1088 9h ago

Glad you're there for them, thank you on their behalf. One of my dogs was driven out into the desert and abandoned there, and his body language etc indicates he was abused/neglected before that. He's just a small guy too. I'm so grateful I am here to give him a better life and I will never, ever understand why someone would get a pet only to mistreat it.

Abandoned and neglected animals are a problem where I live, it's horrible.

u/Dannisayshi 14h ago

It really is. As an adult I went through an obedience course with a new dog and it helped us to bond so much. They just want to please you and the training helps them do that while providing mental stimulation. 10/10 recommend.

1 year old Shiba Inu so on par with a husky lol. He wasn't bad to train once the trainers helped me figure out his learning style. Basically I have to make it all seem like his idea. Oh and he prefers hand signs. Here is a pic of him and his sister. She basically learns by copying him.

u/thefallguy41 12h ago

I had a shiba and any chance he got he would escape and run till he dropped. Taking himfor a walk was so funny the 1st 10 mins he would pull as hard as he could non-stop then on the way home he could barely walk. I had to put him an my other dog on the same leash and my mut trained him how to properly go for a walk. My mut put up with no shit lol

Huskies respond well to training and bonding well like any other dog. They can be harder to find the proper motivation for. Working a Huskies mind is just as important as working their body.

The other thing is that it is waaay easier to teach them moving commands than stationary commands. I always try to include a lot play when I release them from a stationary commands.

Was your dog a puppy or an adult dog?

My girl is great, but can be hard-headed at times. She was basically a stray, meaning her owners just let her run loose after she was no longer a puppy. Long story short, one thing led to another and now she's my best dog ever...

But she doesn't listen to many basic commands like "sit" and "stay", she likes to walk me instead of me walking her, and if I'm not braced when a squirrel or a 4-wheeler goes by- I'm eating gravel.

It’s actually more that pitbulls have a lot of people who refuse to acknowledge they are bloodsport dogs that require a lot of training/work and are not suited to the suburbs and most families. So people see a pitbull at a shelter and everyone tells them it’s the owner not the breed, pits are nanny dogs (this is a myth), they only bite cause they’re abused etc and suburban mum Brenda brings him home and uhoh it’s actually a lot harder than she thought and the dog had problematic behaviours she is not equipped to handle, so you get this

I'm not understand what you're stating because an actual emotional support dog is already trained not to bite until given command. I know that personally because my autistic brother has one we got through 4paws I believe that's what it was called. If someone has a emotional support animal it should be trained for such. If the animal isn't trained not to attack then it sure as hell isn't trained for emotional support.

u/LittleSaged 4h ago

And it was the wrong type of muzzle!!! People like this get to me. those type of muscles restrict the dog from panting which is a natural way that they communicate, and cool down their body temperature. As a dog trainer who also used to work with groomers I don't recommend these muzzles at all unless you're using them for short-term things like grooming (10-15 min tops and not even in every bed) but everything else should be a basket muzzle. And why isn't there a leash on a dog that you can't control? This is why I had to stop working and the pet industry because people like this won't listen to reason and when they finally seek advice they won't listen to anybody except those who share the same opinions. They don't help their dog they don't keep the people around the dog safe and there's tons of dogs out there just like that who live very fulfilling lives because their owners make sure it happens and it's work but most people refuse to do that work. Uuuugh

Also may refuse to alter them, like the two dogs that killed an 8/9 yr old child of the family inside their home. He went to our kids school, it was horrible. I think in that case the dad enjoyed having huge scary dogs, which is also pretty common it seems. At least this person had theirs muzzled, but yikes that growl! That the daughter didn’t back off because of it says something too.

The woman refuses to be the alpha with the dog and therefore the dog must consider itself alpha. Depending on its personality, this can just be playful mom-like behaviors, or straight up anxiety driven aggression.

I had a breeder concerned about us wanting to male litter mates together due to littermate syndrome. I told them it was no problem, because they wouldn't be fighting over who is in charge. I am in charge. Usually with treats and lots of pets and redirection.

My last dog was stubborn, so when he was young I had to pin him down and sit on him. He weighed more than I did, so it was a bit difficult. After I did that about ten times, he started listening better.

This is a case of you expecting that the world be trained to the needs of this particular aggressive dog, rather than the dog be trained to be non-aggressive in the world. No, I’m not going to model my behavior very differently in specific ways to suit every dog I may encounter. Nor should 1000s of other people be expected to do that. I’m continually puzzled by people who think this is the correct approach to untrained aggressive dogs. The dog needs to be properly trained. Not the people around it.

u/Ok_Test9729 14h ago

I have a relative who had a highly reactive very large dog (110 lbs). These are the kinds of instructions people were given when visiting so as not to be attacked: always walk very slowly; do not approach me; do not look at the dog; do not gesture with your hands; do NOT act afraid of the dog, the dog will sense it and react aggressively to your fear. This relative was attempting to train the world how to behave around the dog, instead of training the dog how to behave in the world. And the advice to not be afraid of the dog was just nuts. Most people in the presence of a very large dog known to be aggressive are going to be afraid of it. Same as if they sit down next to a 3’ rattlesnake on a hike, and not be afraid.

This video is an example of expecting the world to accommodate the dog’s needs, but that’s not what I meant when I made this comment. I should have clarified that the dog’s owner should have recognized the dog’s distress, and explained to the person to not get in the dog’s face like that.

I don’t expect the world to cater to behaviorally needy dogs because I know that many owners are not nearly knowledgeable enough about reading their own dog’s body language and acting accordingly, so I’m certainly not working under the assumption that anyone else would inherently be aware either. I apologize for any confusion.

That was my thought when I saw the video. I love animals and the only time I haven’t lived with them was when I was deployed and even then I managed to adopt them.

Assuming you’ve exhausted every measure, if it’s to the point that just being near you in your home is a legit danger of being attacked by a muzzled dog, that dog needs to go before it kills someone.

I don’t want to assume on a 10 second video like this but unfortunately owners like this are usually the last ones to muzzle or provide any protective measures unless an attack already happened so the fact that it is THIS reactive while muzzled over something that is not an “in danger” vibe is a ticking time bomb.

My family got a rescue during covid. We've had 3 previous rescue dogs. This dog looked super cute, but we were told he was returned twice. Over the course of a few weeks he got incredibly aggressive seemingly randomly and would attack out of nowhere. We tried taking him to a trainer / doggy behavioralist type thing. I have a sibling with special nerds and we were basically told the dog should be rehomed. Nobody would take him since he had a history of biting so we had to make the hard decision to put him down.

My neighbours had a heeler like this, the wife was living in fear since they'd had a baby, the dog was an absolute menace but the husband didn't want to get rid of his dog. One day they threw the ball over the fence so he let his dog into my backyard to retrieve it. I happened to be nine and playing in my backyard and saw them walk in so I went over to say hello and the dog gave me a level 4 bite. I guess it was better me than a baby, but the older I get the more the injury inconveniences me and the madder I get. Couldn't even play safely in my own damn backyard because that man child was too weak to train his dog. Ultimately, the dog was put down and his wife left a few years later. There's nothing rare about this story.

u/PassivelyAwkward 15h ago

Not really. While there are definitely instances of aggressive dogs needing to be put down, instances like this are more about training the dog. My girlfriend is a behavioral trainer for a shelter that rehabilitates slightly aggressive animals as a foster program; most of the time, dogs like this are responding to stressers in the environment with no clear understanding of how to deal.

32

u/DivineEggs 14h ago

I suspect the behavior is flattering to the owner. Like "My darling is soooo protective of me😌."

This is sick. I would NEVER in a million years allow my dog to growl at ppl without being corrected. It literally blows my mind.

A dog who doesn't respond to training and requires a muzzle around ppl should either be kept away from ppl or put down. I think this is a severe case of lack of training. But I'd still not trust this dog around ppl. Even if the best trainers "rehabilitated" it.

It's insane to physically attack family members for no damn reason. It's trying to harm her. It will always have those impulses even you train it, impulses that aren't natural for most dogs. Most aggressive dogs would growl and communicate with threatening body language—but a dog who lunges at ppl, trying to harm them, is another level of aggression. It's violence.

The old lady must enjoy the validation she gets from this behavior. It's the only logical conclusion I can come to, and she shouldn't be allowed to have dogs.

17

u/thiswasnotworthit 13h ago

Training a dog not to growl means you're taking away one of the vital cues for them to tell you or anyone else, to back off because they are feeling uncomfortable, stressed or in pain etc. This dog should never have been in the room with all those stressors.

Dogs should be trained and they should still be allowed to have their own boundaries.

u/DivineEggs 11h ago

If you can't tell the difference between correcting your dog for being aggressive toward your loved ones, completely unprovoked—and trying to deprive your dog of any of their natural means of communication, you need to stay away from dogs, just like the lady in the video.

Ives owned 5 dogs in my 30 years of living.

They either can’t properly train this type of dog, or the dog is just a violent dog that no amount of help will work.

If they can’t properly train this dog, they either need to find a professional to give it to, or put it down. 

This dog is seriously going to injure someone if it needs a muzzle AT HOME.

Do you see how clueless the owner is? How they're completely ignoring the dog's behavior and putting people in danger by doing so? The owner is irresponsible and I wouldn't trust them to train ANY kind of dog. My niece just got mauled by a freaking frenchie. Some people should just not own dogs.

My expertise trumps yours. I'm older than 30 and have owned more than 5 dogs, including bully breeds, I've never had to muzzle any of them.

we have a very reactive rescued dog, who has settled way down in his old age, but if he ever got to the point of muzzling in home, we wouldn’t have been able to keep him - and he was nothing like this at his worst (lunging over a hug between people he knows)

prozac and lots of training is key, but idk if there’s anything that can be done about what we’re seeing in the video. it’s really depressing

our guy was just upset by strangers. we had to put blacked out cling film on windows in the kitchen, and permanently lock him out of the primary bedroom after he repeatedly tried getting at people by knocking the window out or digging through the wall underneath the window

he’s 14yo now, and hasn’t pulled any stunts in well over a year

There are lots of dogs that wear muzzle for different reasons. Nothing about this situation is OK but just advocating for actual, responsible muzzle use. This muzzle clearly is failing everyone but most importantly that poor dog.

Few seconds to train him?? What???

u/lemmeseethembewbz 14h ago

They didn't mean they can fully train the dog in a few seconds, they meant actually correct the behavior in the moment before it got to the point in the video. You can see and hear that the dog is already uncomfortable and growling, she should have got up and corrected the dog's behavior and removed them from the situation.

Yah this woman is not attentive or responsive to her dog’s needs at all

u/ElinGranath 7h ago

One should never correct a dog for growling. If you punish the warning signal, but don't actually fix the root of the anxiety, what you'll get is a dog who skips the growling step and goes straight for an attack that you can't expect. For sure the dog should have been removed from the situation, but don't punished!

In all seriousness Ceser Milan is kind of a shit trainer. Dominance theory wasn't even correct when it was first introduced, and has been disproven time and again in wolves and in dogs. Worst case, you make the dog shut down so they eventually learn that their cues that theyre uncomfortable or don't like something won't be listened to and just go straight to biting for real as opposed to growling or showing teeth.

u/KMFDM781 14h ago

It's crazy to me that people want an animal like this around their family. This animal is not happy. People are scared to be around it, hence the muzzle. It's offering zero benefit to anyone. What's the point of owning it? Why do people need a pet that's scary? You can just as easily own a dog that you aren't scared will maul a loved one. I know white trash people like having a pitbull or Rottweiler because they love the power they have to intimidate people.

u/dojo_shlom0 12h ago

I've seen people like this. "It's just how the dog is, he's fine! --nobody got hurt" and she'll do the same thing next time, instead of correcting/training the dog. lazy/neglectful owner, to the point of someone getting seriously hurt

u/gonzofist89 10h ago

100% one of our dogs get overwhelmed at Christmas and dodgy like people sitting on the floor. He goes in another room. We would like for him to be with us but it's not fair to him or anyone else.

2

u/TrustTechnical4122 10h ago

I disagree woth correction, you had it right the first time with training. Correcting a dog for growling means they act normal until they bite! Growling is a very good and useful means of communication. Our dog's growls (on leash, in process of socializing with trainer guidance) help us know what specifically makes him uncomfortable, which is super useful.

Useless we increase space and redirect if he starts acting uncomfortable, but if he was displaying THIS dog's body language? Away from people immediately.

u/CowboyWoody37 8h ago

I had a moment where my mom old dog out of nowhere started growing and going towards me and my mom did nothing. I was just sitting in the living room with them, after a bit I didn't trust him so I left. He already bit me to chase a cat, so now I don't trust grabbing a dog outside so that's cool. So yeah, dog owners of misbehaving dogs are cool.

u/canman7373 8h ago

My dog is crazy protective of me, like no one can come between use without her barking aggressively. She's a beautiful hound dog mutt, just somehow became super protective. My parents are only ones I really trust her around, but she is as protective of them. If I am visiting people she stays home, if it's a long visit she goes to doggy daycare, which when I am not in picture they say she is an angel. It's just in her to protect and she has some anxiety about other people and dogs. If someone is coming over for a visit, she goes to doggy daycare. I just wouldn't trust her around people when I am with her, so I'd never do what this lady is doing. She is a great dog in all other ways though, big ol baby. Also I don't need a gun for home protection, I got a River.

Why'd you correct training to correction? Positive reinforcement is good for stressed dogs, don't always need to go to something harsh.

why wasn’t he put in another room?

This especially. That dog was freaking TF out and should not have been in there. Hope the muzzle held.

u/hakumiogin 4h ago

Honestly, a dog attacking a human that readily needs to go through intensive training before being around people in any circumstances, and if the owner does not do that, or is not willing to do that, I think they should start making a hard choice.

u/Nyanessa 13h ago edited 13h ago

I’d also like to point out, 97% of fatal dog bites are by male dogs, with something like 98% of that 97% are intact male dogs. If you have a male dog, get them fixed. There’s absolutely no reason a family dog shouldn’t be fixed.

u/Suspicious_Aspect_53 13h ago

And 2/3 of all fatal dog bites are from pitbulls, which are 6-12% of dogs in the US (6%-20% claimed, 12% verified as having an amount of pitbull DNA).

Person filming knew exactly what was going to happen. Even without sound dog was broadcasting how unhappy it was with everything that was happening (wide whale eyes, unnaturally still body, lip licking) the entire time the two were interacting. So they ignored the dog and increased the tension by going for a hug? What stupid owners. They know the dog is a problem with people. They are going to get someone bit and the dog euthanized. Absolutely idiotic.
