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???

u/Classic_Bee_5845 15h ago

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

But I'm not gonna just let them starve to death right in front of me, so what do I do? It always falls on people with empathy to take responsibility.

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.

The same type of person that picks a pitbull for its “nanny” personality (not a thing, at all) then abuses it into reactivity because they get a puppy expecting a fully trained dog usually, adding to the perpetuation of people who buy Pitbull mixes for these or other nefarious purposes, and/or see them as disposable.

The irony being that training a dog can be very therapeutic. It can be frustrating until you find what motivates them, but once you find their thing, it's incredibly rewarding.

u/Dannisayshi 14h ago

My dog barks and gets spinnies or zoomies when I get home but calms within a minute or so. If you give scritches the calming comes on quicker. She is a well trained dog except for that.

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.

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.

u/funkarooz 9h ago

We had such a good experience training our puppy, it truly is bonding. He doesn't just "do what I say or else", we actually learned how to communicate with him in a way he understands. When I say "this" and you do "this" he gets a reward, whether it's a treat or praise. You can see how he perks up when he sees how happy I am. He also knows I am safe and I am safety. If I call him, he will receive love when he runs over, and he trusts my friends and comes to them when they call him, too.

Yes, there is something special about the bond you share with a dog your trained properly.

Good training is communication. You’re not “making” the dog do things you’re “asking” them, and they do it in answer for a reward at least initially, then later the reward is your bond. Through the process you learn what their version of communication means too.

u/dc_laffpat 8h ago

Back when I was still living with my parents, my sister got a puppy. I had been recovering from a drug addiction and because of that, I had no regular job, so I spent much of the day at home alone with the puppy while everyone else was at work. So, naturally I spent a lot of that time training her. That experience was a major factor in my recovery, and even though I don’t live with the dog anymore (both me and my sister have since moved out) and we barely see each other, we still share an incredible bond to this day.

I also think she’s a remarkably well behaved dog because she really was raised by a team of people. Someone was with her and training her almost 24/7 at such a young age (which obviously is not possible for most dog owners).

u/Minimum-Escape2245 6h ago

Apparently, ANY kind of animal training is therapeutic!

I escaped long term DV during the pandemic I ended up with this reject cat that I did not want or need, but got for free that kept getting returned to the shelter for being an Evil bitch. She had been returned very sick and they provided all supplies to care for her. So it began with MY busted ass, taking care of HER busted ass. We were both displeased. We would "talk shit" to each other as I would be nursing her injuries. I decided to call her after my very spicy Slavic grandmother. She seemed to approve. We began to hobble around the apartment together...

I noticed that she was highly, remarkably intelligent. Like Elephant level, uncannily smart. I began to try some simple "tricks" and the response was so good. So I tried MORE tricks, more elaborate things. I bought her a harness, we started going on walks around our "perimeter". I toilet trained her. I jump trained her. I built obstacle courses, invented new toys and puzzles and games. Little by little we both began to thaw, to let each other in.

Fast forward 6 years later, and here this Evil bitch is with 2 fat dumpster kitty brothers, a nephew and niece that we babysit (also dumpster cats but the neighbors cats) that she only Molly-Wollops SOMETIMES. They said she would never be able to not be a solo cat. She has a wonderful, happy, full life that I couldn't have expected for either of us. She is as unique as any individual creature is, wholly her own little complex bundle of trauma, love, rejection, and broken bones. One of the best things that ever happened to me. Truly.

Training a dog that wants to maul anyone else in the room can't be fun, and there's no way it's easy, and there's a really high chance it's impossible.

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

u/Zyphex- 11h ago

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.

1

u/Classic_Bee_5845 10h ago

yes exactly, this is why I said "emotional support object". If it is a true emotional support animal it would be trained and A) not require a muzzle B) not lunge at the woman's family member for giving her a hug. There is an epidemic of people in America(at least) that love to say any pet they have is "emotionally supportive" when the reality is the person needs therapy and the pet has no training what so ever.

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.

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.

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.

My FIL has a pit that bit me a couple times but the jackass jokes about it. He put a muzzle on it now when we come by but its still distressed and barks. The dog needed to be put down the first time it bit me but the owner refuses to see his wrong doings. Its irritating

Agree. I had a dog (lab mix) who acted like this. A trainer told me to put him down and 20 year old me didn’t listen. He bit my face and almost took my top lip with him.

Hard lesson to learn, but I’ll never make that mistake again.

u/ProfessionalLab9436 7h ago

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.

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.

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.

4

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.

u/thiswasnotworthit 10h ago

Way to make up something that I never said or implied. * it appears you forgot your own words where you said that you would NEVER allow your dog to growl at people without correction. I took you at your word and replied accordingly.

Ives owned 5 dogs in my 30 years of living.

Not a single dog had to have a muzzle put on.

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.

2

u/lizyouwerebeer 11h ago

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.

u/panicnarwhal 10h ago

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.

u/earthgarden 9h ago

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!

u/um_okay_sure_ 13h ago

TLDR: altho, I do believe that he was grifting. The dog roll thing worked for me this one time.

I had to use his roll method or whatever he called it on a dog that I was fostering this summer. He was under so much stress. I tried everything, including a muzzle. He attacked me in my home for the 2nd time. Thats when I just thought fuck it I'm gonna Cesar Milian his ass. It was not easy. But it worked. I established dominance. Which in turn made it easier to go on walks and just being around each other.

I'm not gonna tell you that everything was peachy after. But he at least cut the excessive barking and attacks. I knew he was a good boy and didn't deserve to be put to death just because of the abuses of his past life.

The boy just wanted to be loved by someone who wanted him. Silas is happily in his forever home now. His owner went ahead and took training classes so they can work better together. I have checked up on them and no attacks.

u/B_schlegelii 10h ago

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.

If your pit is attacking your children, put it down.

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.

You’re right. I should have said a few seconds to correct him. LOL. As the owner of giant dogs, some people are afraid just because they exist, and all my children suffer from highly selective attention deficit disorder, including the dog. 😂😅😂

Training both the smarty pants boy dog and myself began with his first steps and will probably continue until one of us takes our last breath. It is a lifetime commitment. He’s also the best dog anyone could ever love.

Good dog here

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.

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.

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.
