Tank would be outside in the back yard. (All joke aside) I can under stand why the people just do not know how to control a dog. I believe in treating my dog very good but the dog isn’t human; ( a dog is not a human child) After all it is an animal that needs direction and discipline and the human needs to be in control at all times.

It made me cry, bc I lived through sth. similar: when I was in hospital for cancer OP, I was gone a week. My Mom came to my flat and cared for my eddie... and it took years until he would choose me over her again to sit with, etc.... even though he would behave much better, he wasn't aggressive, but it was hard for me, weak and sick, radiation therapy is very taxing, and all the time unwanted by my dearest darling.

I think by petting Frenchie while he’s screaming is not calming him down but encouraging him.

My thoughts exactly. A person's body chemistry and odor can change with cancer. Some dogs can even smell cancer on a person. So he smelled like a stranger and had a stick and here he is in my house and no Mike to protect Ted and Pat from the stranger. I'd have given Mike some clothes he had not worn since before the cancer treatment if possible, something or things with his scent on them for Mike to wear or hold. His pillow from his bed, for example. So the dog could connect Mike's pre-illness smell with his post-illness smell.

@emsxbabe1982

Ай бұрын

You DON'T train a dog not to growl or reprimand them for doing so. A growl is very useful. It's a warning. Dogs need to be able to growl so we can read their behaviour. If a dog is trained not to growl, they will resort to biting without warning. The underlying issue here needed to be addressed not the resulting behaviour. Very outdated way of thinking - dogs need to be able to communicate so we can understand them.

So far, all the episodes I've watched, there's nothing wrong with the dogs, it's either the handlers are too anxious or they talk way too much like the dogs can understand English. Firstly, the dogs should understand what 'No' or any other words they're using mean because that would be unfair to the dogs. It's sad that dogs are always the ones that pay the price for owners' ignorance.

Those frenchies are not babies its soooo sad......treat them like babies they become babies ..she makes it worse by nurturing that behaviour with baby talk an daftness.......

People, don't get a dog to solve your problems. If youre a single parent and your kid is lonely, invite one or a few of theur friends over for a playdate. Or get them involved in a sport or hobby. If you're unsure how youll go with having children, sign up for parenting classes. We dont get the knowledge at school. If you're lonely, join a club or hobby group. Local libraries, information centres and community centres usually advertise. Even disabled groups, schools or elderly citizens homes need people to do chat groups, run activities or hobby groups.

No mention of the fact that the gent is using a walking stick, and the dog low on the floor sees it as a threat? (There's also the possibility that he's accidentally bumped into the dog with it/ purposely used it to get him away when he's been challenging.)

Attacking is not how dogs protect. If he was acting in a protective way, he'd try to block Mike walking or stay by his side. Anthropomorphizing dogs is part of what makes a useless dog owner.

Popcorns mom could have her kid help carry some groceries so mom has more freedom to deal with Popcorn.

I don't want to trivialize this problem, but Bruce may see the rolling cart as another dog in the house. Sorry.

If Ted is a rescue, he might have some trauma issues. I watched a youtube video a while ago and this dog would wake up screaming because of being abused. They tried everything to help him. Finally they tried blue light therapy and for once the dog got a good night sleep. Maybe a blue light would help??

That terrier is not normal. Mike smelled and looked the same when he got home so Ted should have easily recognized him. But for no reason Ted now hates the man he loved. I've done 40 years of dog rescue and rehabilitation and the dog's behaviour is unnatural. Mike should be told that HE isn't the problem, that Ted is. He should be rehomed if he can be and Mike should be given a small sweetheart of a dog.
