Shit your dog does

>>2447815
She often tries to talk, it's too cute.

Your dog must think it's fun, so just let her/him do it. Preventing dogs from making their own decisions is animal cruelty.

My dog will run around the house and whip his stuffed puppy around wildly, crying and moaning, after a meal. The intensity of the "tantrum" depends on the deliciousness of whatever he just ate (pro tip: everything is delicious and he had multiple tantrums per day)

It's not that he's eaten too much, or something that upset his insides, or anything. It just happens if he eats something he really likes, no matter how small of a tidbit it is. The vet had never seen anything like it. He's been doing this ever since I got him, about two years now.

My dog wants to run out onto the road every time I go out, should I let her? Stupid cunt.

You left out the part where you're supposed to tell us why your dog being in the kitchen is bad.

>>2448050
I had a dog who would whine and cry when I gave him a really good, extra special chew treat. He would just carry it around in his mouth aimlessly, crying out, occasionally stopping by me to whine a little. It was like he was so blown away he didn't know what to do with it or himself because it was so special. Imagine being this happy.

He only enters an elevator if he's by my left side.
Is my dog autistic?

>>2448247
Maybe he's just comfortable with that side, is he left paw'd? that could explain a bit.

>>2448221
When we're on walks, my dog will grab things she knows she can chew on very calmly (sticks, grass--she doesn't eat the sticks, though. Just shreds them like an autist.) If it's something she knows I'm going to take away, she snatches it and tries to bolt. She thinks if she can chew it and swallow it before I give the "leave it" command that she gets to keep it, I guess.

>>2448225

I store my human meat there. Don't want my pal to get the taste y know?

>>2448241
Yeah, mine does this with bully sticks. Once I have him a meatball and he didn't know what to do with it. Just held it in his mouth and ran around crying and dropping drool everywhere. He swallowed it whole because he's an idiot.

>>2448225
My nova scotia duck tolling retriever does that, it'd be really fucking cute except she started doing that around the same time she started acting all weird and anxious and I'm afraid it's a symptom of some anxiety disorder or some weird inbred purebred doggy disease.

All dogs are autistic. We literally bred wolves to be autistic, and that's how we got dogs.

She just wants to be an hero.

>>2448398
I relate to this a lot. My puppy is obsessed with eating cicadas, I was carrying her inside and she fuckin snatched one out of the air. Proceeds to crunch it up before I realized she killed it. She'll find them dead on the ground and try to eat them too.

My dog will sometimes pick something up on his walk.
Then, in order to try to hide the fact that he's carrying it, he'll suddenly be very well behaved and stick very close and basically try to "act natural" in the most obviously suspicious way possible.

He'll also throw his ball for himself. It's really cute.

And if you have a treat he really wants, he'll start doing every single trick that he knows, hoping that if he does enough he'll do the right one or you'll give it to him anyways

>>2448138
lol

>>2448150
my old dog did same thing. cute

>>2448623
My retarded ass dog caught a wasp, tore it's stinger off, and ate the body of the wasp.

I still don't believe the dog that barks when I stand still managed to complete that task.

My dog eats cattail roots. She digs them up and really likes the fermenting ones. She wolfs them down before I can stop her and invariably throws them up 2-3 days later. Her stomach rumbles for a day then she pukes them up, often in our bed and/or very early in the morning. The vomit smells like sweet cereal, sort of like Alpha-Bits or whatever.

She has done this for years and never learns. I heard they taste sweet; they are at least very starchy and probably taste good.

>>2448403
>>2448487
Well that's odd. It was two brothers from the same litter, both neutered as pups. One did it from about 8 months on and the other picked it up after maybe 4 years. They were definitely inbred, fucking breeder was a cunt. They both lived to be 13 tho so the issues were non life threatening.

My old pupper has been running head first into mirrors, I'm pretty sure he made himself retarded. The vet has no clue why he does this. I personally believe that my dog thinks he looks like Sloth from The Goonies and destroys anything that makes him see his reflection only because it's less depressing than my pupper trying to off himself

Every. Fucking. Night. Even if I go straight to bed, he leaves when the lights go off, but he will spend hours growling and whining trying to get me to lay down with him.

He never barks any other time and his previous owners used a bark collar on him like it was his normal collar. I think he likes howling or trying to, but I think he's either just too scared to try and howl because he's going to get shocked or he forgot how to bark and howl.

>>2449156
my dog hates dark skinned people (not just blacks) as well, no idea why to be honest

She was a stray in an eastern european country tho, maybe something happend there..

>>2449303
She probably wasn't exposed to dark-skinned people while young. Socialization and all. I've also read it's hard for dogs to read the facial expressions of dark-skinned people because of their vision.

>>2449307
This anon is right. Might just be a lack of exposure with other animals.

>>2449198
He values your night time cuddles. Alternatively, he's the reincarnation of a family member who is worried you don't get enough sleep

>>2448241
Kek, yes- my dog will cry pitifully until I let her out to go bury the chew in the garden or she'll get frustrated and hide it in the sofa cushions. If you find it in the sofa it she waits until you leave to hide it again.

Try not keeping a treat in your hand? Show the treat, visibly put it down on a counter or the table, then give them the command.

One thing I've been doing is teaching my dog to associate specific hand signals with commands, as well as vocal cues, as he's an older dog and I want to make sure I can still give him commands if he goes deaf. I also have another command that means he can have a treat then.

Since I want to praise him without him thinking that praise means he can get the treat now (since I have him do multiple in order to get the treat, I've taught him a separate command that says "you can go get the treat now".

Nursing behavior leftover from puppyhood--it's comforting, sort of like a self-soothing thing.

As for why, it's possible that she was taken from her mother too soon and that's why she still does it. But even some dogs who aren't separated from their mother too soon do it.

My small dog keeps barking at my big dog and starting fights over retarded shit. The big dog has a huge branch and the small dog goes 'I want that' even though it likely isn't physically possible for him to pick it up. I'd prefer if they both fuck right off though, because the big dog wants everything as soon as another dog has it. Big enough to get it most of the time, even if it's the small dog chewing on a tiny leaf, he wants it, so the little dog retaliates. How do I train these cunts to appreciate the NAP and leave each other be when I'm not in the room?

I found out he's terrified of his toys if we rub them against the wall.

He was totally okay with the toy it's just that when we were sliding it around a wall it freaked him out. No idea why.

Un-house trained 8 week old puppies are really fun. She'll get there but goddamn do I feel bad for my roommates and neighbors

My dog is pretty quiet. He hardly ever barks and never growls; he is generally just a good boy. But he will go crazy if I fake-growl at him. He will start growling back and eventually bark at me. But he always waves his tail and acts playful when we do that, and he often goes to find one of his toys to play with me. Is this normal? Do all dogs do that?

8 weeks is the youngest it can leave it's mother. 10-12 is ideal so it can learn better how to play and communicate with other dogs by testing boundaries with its siblings and mother. But 8 is okay as long as you're not a shitty owner. This doesn't apply to that anon obviously if he's allowing his puppy to shit in its crate.

I don't WANT to fuck this dog up, so some suggestions other than "your dog is gonna be such a shit pleb lel" would be helpful

>>2451464
Also, the advice I got from other websites and dog trainers was to ignore a crying puppy. I get so much conflicting advice, it's hard to know when to do what. Just now, she was running around after I was playing with her and just peed on the floor and when I went to clean that up, she ran to the other side of the room and pooped. Sometimes she warns me and sometimes she doesn't, which I get- she's learning still and is literally a baby. I'm not gonna punish her for doing what she needs to do and I don't resent her, I just wish there was solid, general advice instead of all these conflicting opinions on the internet and from other people such as vets, breeders, etc.

>>2451476
>>2451464
And, one more thing- I put her in her crate so I could clean the messes without her trying to play tug of war with the cleaning supplies, and while I did that, she started screaming and crying again. I just can't tell when she's whining for attention, and whining because she actually has to go out. Does anyone know how to work with that and help her along so she just associates whining with potty time, but also doesn't start to learn that she can just whine and shriek to get my attention? I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place and overwhelmed.

Sorry to hear, man. I'd go with the trainers advice.

Nobody likes it, and it's "inconsiderate" to your neighbors and such, but that's pup ownership.
And if it gets gnarly out there, get the shocker. Don't let the preteen activists on this site scare you. It's classic training. Just get a remote controlled one so it doesn't automatically shock the babby into oblivion.

A puppy can hold their bladder for one hour for every month old they are. 2 months = 2 hours. Every two hours, the puppy goes out.

>I need my sleep

Shouldn't have gotten a young puppy then, eh? They literally do not have the bladder capacity to hold it longer. Set an alarm and get up.

Take it out right after every meal, every drink, every play session, every nap. When you observe an accident, yell--not angrily, just enough to startle--and whisk puppy outside to finish. When you are cleaning the accident, use enzymatic cleaner to eliminate any familiar scent. Don't punish the dog when you catch them having an accident, or bother yelling when you find one after the fact.

If your dog is still having accidents and you're following this to the letter, your crate is too big. A healthy dog doesn't shit where it sleeps (provided you're taking it out properly). It should have enough room to turn around, not enough room to shit and still lie down out of the way.

The "let it cry itself out" is advice for when you're taking your dog out on time and expending its energy properly. If it's been exercised, fed, watered, and has gone to the bathroom in the last two hours, THAT'S when you ignore it.

>>2451464
Don't let her out when she is whining, or else she WILL learn that she can just whine to get let out and get attention. Whining will become a very bad habit that's extremely hard to break. So do not let her out while she's whining. Ignore the whining. Reward quietness (either with a release from the crate, a treat, attention, etc.) Don't indulge the whining.

Instead, you need to be very vigilant in taking her out on a schedule. Literally every 2 hours at this point. She's in her crate overnight? You need to be getting up every 2 hours to let her out. You make sure she gets outside on time, she she won't need to shit in her crate. If she's whining, wait for her to stop and then let her out. Yes, you will get lousy sleep the first few months of owning a puppy. That's just how it is.

>>2451644
This, exactly.

>>2451565
>And if it gets gnarly out there, get the shocker.
Do not do this, you'll create a neurotic mess. Shocking her while she's in her crate will make her associate the crate with getting shocked. You want her to enjoy the crate so she can relax and be calm in there. Even if the shock collar stops the whining/barking, it won't stop her from being in distress.

The puppy is shitting in its crate and isn't even sleeping, just whining all night (because it needs to shit). obviously OP trying to sleep through it isn't working.

>>2451887
Which likely happens because he leaves it there for more than 6 hours.
It's not anecdotal evidence, all puppies can hold it in longer when they're asleep at night. Just because it's longer than an hour or two doesn't mean it's dusk to dawn.

My dog refuses to be photographed. Whenever someone tries to take a photo of him, he will rudely look away from the lens, even when there is no flash or light involved to irritate or scare him. It's like he knows he is being photographed and gets shy.

Or maybe it's the fact that he is autistic and doesn't like people looking at him in general. On several occasions I've spotted him looking away from me or anyone else when we stare at him, but will turn his sight right back at us if we look away. I don't know if he's shy, scared or just a sneaky cunt.

I believe if they look away from your stare it's a sign of respect/submission. Don't quote me on that though.

>>2452229
I know that it's a sign of respect if they generally sit/sleep with their back turned to you, as in saying "I trust you as the pack leader and I have faith that you will not backstab me."
But instantly turning his gaze away from me when I look at him? I'm getting more of a "stop staring at me you fucking creep" vibe from it. Like I'm making him uncomfortable.

>>2451232
My dog is just scared of balloons. I stuck one on him for laughs once and he flipped his shit.

>>2452343
Oh and he also goose steps. I don't get why. He just never bends his legs, it's not PAINFUL, and he can but chooses not to??

>goose steps
Is he a German Shepherd, by any chance?

>>2452343
All my dogs were terrified of balloons too. I think it's an inherited thing, like how cats are instinctively afraid of cucumbers. Like they were arch enemies in primordial times, before the dawn of man and the domestication of these mammals, and before the mass hunting and near-extinction of balloons and cucumbers by mankind.

>unphased by almost everything

He's fine with cars, but flips his shit at those items. He will dive into bushes, hide behind me, or even try to run into the street if he sees one of those coming at him. I have to have him step off the path and lay down so he doesn't bolt.
Even the neighborhood kids, whom he loves and often plays with, scare him when they ride by the yard. I just wonder if something happened to him before we rescued him or if he just doesn't know what kind of strange creature is carrying the humans away.

>He swallowed it whole because he's an idiot.

I'm fucking dying of laughter over here

Whenever he pisses inside our house, my dog starts to act in a suspicious/guilty manner, as if he knew he have done something wrong. He starts to crawl, lowers his ears, and then when he reachs you he throws himself on his back askung you to cuddle him. Then I know he has just pissed somewhere and I ask him in a serious tone "what have you done?" and he inmediatly gets up and in he crawls to the backyard door (even if we are upstairs). Then I open the door, but he will stay at the entrance, as if he is expecting me to pardom or punish him. If I find nearby the piss puddle, I'll ask him more energetically "what did you do!?" and he then gets out to the backyard, five feet away from the door, watching me and lowering his head and body asking for forgiveness. Then I firmly tell him that he's grounded, and walk away leaving the door open. Then I watch him waiting for me to "lift his grounding" he just stands (or sits?) still for a couple minutes until I call him and tell him he's not grounded anymore, which makes him pretty happy.

>>2451782
Just because some puppies will be able to sleep through longer than 2 hours without waking up and needing to go out, doesn't mean all will. You'll be lucky if your puppy is able to sleep through the night like that. Most young puppies will wake up every few hours--and if they do, they WILL need to go potty.

Obviously, every dog is different and some puppies will be able to hold it longer than others, but 1 hour/month of age is a good GENERAL rule for how often puppies need to go out. You start with that assumption and adjust based on your individual puppy's habits.

>>2452071
A direct, unblinking stare is generally intimidating to dogs, and so they will look away as a way to say "chill, I'm no threat to you." It's a fairly instinctive thing.

That said, a camera lens can look sort of like a big unblinking eye to some dogs, so it being pointed at them makes them nervous.

>>2452276
Yes, staring can make dogs uncomfortable. He looks away to try and diffuse the situation.

>>2452404
Nah, that's normal polite dog behavior. Doggie social manners indicate that making a direct beeline for someone is very forward and aggressive i.e. rude--polite dogs approach people/dogs in an arch, especially if it's someone unfamiliar to them. If they are more familiar with someone, they may feel more comfortable running straight towards them as it's more appropriate than doing it to a stranger. But some dogs will still prefer to approach in an arch, even with those they know well.

>>2452598
>I just wonder if something happened to him before we rescued him
Possibly, but it's more likely that he just wasn't socialized with those types of objects so they are strange and scary to him. Novel objects that move = spooky to a lot of dogs.

>>2452649
That's pretty normal behavior. Mine acts like that all the time too. I used to give him a very light slap on the butt when he was younger and he quickly understood that misbehaving has consequences. Now he is old though, about 11-12, so I just give him a break if he can't hold it once in a while.

>>2452662
>>2452664
I see. It's a case of dog aspergers then.

>>2449363
My dog shitposts as well, exactly as described. He will wait for all the other dogs to have their 20 minute barking session while he chills then the minute it stops he'll take himself outside and let out one loud bark to set the others off, then come back in to bed.

>>2452700
Nah, more like normal dog social convention and social skills. So...opposite of aspergers?

Besides, humans staring at other humans is considered rude/creepy as well. It's just that dogs are more sensitive to it since they can't talk and rely almost entirely on body language to communicate.

>>2449363
>>2452707
My aunt's dog does the opposite. She enjoys naps in the sun, in the garden.
If the other dogs are barking too much, she eventually gets up, prepares herself (idk what to call it, it's like she's thinking hard about it and getting ready, really) and lets out one single mighty bark. Real loud, real deep. The other dogs invariably shut up.
And then she goes back to her nap.

>>2451550
Do you shout when you play games?

>>2452712
Your aunt's dog is a moderator. Neat.

>>2452711
Yeah, I suppose.
By the way, is that an inherited thing, or does a dog develop that reflex as it grows older? Because I don't recall him looking away from my gaze when he was a pupper.

>>2447815
>Have to take my Jack Russell out into the yard every morning

>he looks at me, looks away and starts stretching

My dog figured out what stalling is last year after 10 years of owning him and ever since it's been a pain in the ass to get him outside without having to bribe him with leftover fortune cookies. Retraining time here I come.

>>2452727
>is that an inherited thing, or does a dog develop that reflex as it grows older?
I think a bit of both? Puppies figure out social skills as they grow and mature, taking cues from other dogs and from humans as well. But they are also just genetically inclined to interpret certain things in certain ways (like a stare-down is just...inherently an intimidating thing to a dog.)

So, think of it like...direct staring at puppy inherently makes him feel uncomfortable, but he hasn't yet figured out the "look away to diffuse the tension" social skill yet. As he matured, he figured it out.

>>2452718
I don't play videya

My mother bought herself some small 1kg dumbbells, covered in some plastic. Dog was instantly fascinated with them. Jokingly gave her one, she grabbed it and thought it was a bone or something. After having taking it back, my mom put them on some cupboard. Dog spent 30 minutes staring at them, not moving. Eventually she even grabbed one (she *never* ever grabbed anything of any kind of furniture, not even food)... Now the dumbbells are inside a drawer and she just sits in front of it and waits. She didn't even know where we had put them, I was keeping her busy elsewhere while my mother hid them. She still sniffed and found them. Don't know what they put in that fancy blue plastic, but she seemed to like it.
Hopefully she'll forget about them soon, I'm waiting for a delivery of kibble and I bought some new dog toys since she finally destroyed one of hers. Kinda hoping she'll forget about the dumbbells.

>>2452649
Mine does this too! I never punished him during potty training though so I'm not sure why he acts so guilty and anxious.

>over the summer this is his routine of puddle guarding after every rainstorm

He does not behave this way over food, toys, owner, or anything except this puddle. And he only likes THIS puddle.

My dog purrs when she wants attention, a toy or food that isn't dog food. Well, more like she's kinda snorting softly with her nose full of snot.

my golden REALLY likes his butt to get scratched, which would be fine if he didn't give the nearest human a lapdance whenever he wants to get scratched more

>>2449064
I just don't want my puppy to get sick from eating dumb shit but it's hard to keep her out of it.

>>2451249
My puppy is about the same age and I have no problem with her in the house really. I had to crate her yesterday for six hours because I had college orientation, she shit and made a huge mess but she only goes in the crate when left alone. I take her out every hour when I'm awake, go to sleep around midnight, wake up at 430-500 when she does and take her out then. It's exhausting but that schedule works for 90% of accidents. She's getting where 2-3 hours isn't a problem but I like walking her.

>>2451572
My puppy likes to dig at the pillow/blanket mess I sleep on and bury her head into it hiding it. Idk why but it's kind of cute.

>>2451644

>>2448475
Fuck.
My parents had a Shiba when I was a kid (this was pre-memeing) and he was so weird about food. If you gave him like, a peanut, he would chew it a good 10 times before swallowing.
If you gave him something bigger like a carrot he'd try to swallow it whole and choke himself.

>>2452808
Welp, while she wasn't looking I put the new ball in the drawer.
Next time she went to look, I opened it and gave her the ball. She's happy with it and all, but she still goes back to the drawer for the dumbbells, damnit.

>>2450951
Yelling. My dogs get spooked when anyone yells. After they've learned it makes you mad you can start alternating your reaction. Dial it back a bit. I've turned "gdi what the fuck are you barking at" to a soft "shhh". They bark at trees moving with the wind. Or at least they used to.

My dog does this. Looks over his shoulder to make eye contact and grunts seductively while rubbing his butt on your leg. I think it's cute, but kinda embarrassing when people come over.

Also, I guess he got sick because he pooped in the house for the first time in YEARS. He acted scared when I got home and when I found it, he had shoved a few notebooks over on top of it. Ultimately that made the mess much worse, but I think he was trying to bury it. I love my dog. He's such a sweety.

Take dogs to the dog park, after an hour and a half it's time to leave, tell asshole on the left let's go he runs into the dog pool, JUST far enough out of reach so I can't grab him. Sides are too slippery to walk into the pool. Swims to the opposite side to run out of the pool and go back to playing. But I follow him until he finally gives up and gets out. Angel on the right comes immediately. Strange because he is extremely well behaved at home. Just acts like a dummy out in public.

My dog gets absurdly happy if you start chanting her name like she's a sports pro or a ruler. She doesn't get that happy if you're just softly chanting it or yelling normally.

My dog hates his food (dry food) and will not eat it until it's late and he is really hungry. Yet he will absolutely eat it all any time if I feed it to him by hand, pellet by pellet. He is a spoiled fucking baby.

Don't give your dog grapes, they're poisonous. It probably won't kill your dog to give him a single grape, much the same way that a tiny bit of milk chocolate won't. But raisins and, occasionally, grapes can and do kill dogs. There's a bunch of signs hanging up in my vet's office warning not to feed animals grapes.

It's bad, but even with dark chocolate, they'd have to eat a lot of it. Any dog over 5kg could eat a whole tablet and live, probably even more. White chocolate isn't deadly like the others, but it's still plenty bad because it contains a lot of sugar.
Also chocolate is immediately bad for dogs' kidneys, but well again not that much.

Not certain, but isn't it the cocoa itself that's bad for them? In that case dark would be worse. I doubt there is much actual cocoa in cheap, average chocolate.

Ah, dogs are such a delight. She did have a 'swallowing food whole' and 'eating so fast she'll throw up' problem for a while. Kind of scared me, I was afraid she'd choke. These days she's better at chewing stuff up. I think it came from me holding snacks for her to nibble on. For example, if I had a steak with a bone I'd sit there holding the bone with both hands to let her nibble off it. Also I usually lean a line of corn on the cob and do the same thing. Something about it seems to have gotten through to her because now she's way better at chewing her food. She'll get a mouthful of dog food, spit it out all over the carpet and lay there and crunch away on each piece individually. She'll chew french fries or little bits of meat scraps I give her. Chewing only started happening once she figured out how to get the corn off the cob.

I guess what I'm getting at is if you want them to chew their food, try holding it and not letting go so the only way they can get it is to chew pieces of it off. Might be worth a shot.

My dog's a good boy.

Every time around Christmas the hustle and bustle of the holidays wears him out with family members all over the house and the tree up and people vacuuming and kids screaming and pulling his tail. So he paws at my door so I can hear him push it open as if he's knocking and stand outside until I get up, open the door, and welcome him in.
He'll just stay in here for a couple of hours then go to the door when he's ready to go back out.
He's usually In a better mood afterwards.

Puhleez. Like I don't know you guys beat the tar out of each other every day. There's been plenty of times I've pet the cat and noticed it's wet. I've seen the scratches on your nose. You're not fooling anyone.

>tfw dog knows how to remove itself from a situation rather than get moody

Mine does the same thing. She does love people, she does love kiddos, she'll totally run upstairs when she hears the door open because FUCK YEAH PLAY TIME. I spent some time pulling her ears and tail too just so that when she encounters a rude kid she won't get pissed. She'll just leave. She also doesn't mind people playing with her poofy tail. Heck, if we're just standing around I'll just hold on to her tail. Loose so she can walk away when ever she wants but she seems to enjoy the contact.

When she's had enough she'll retire to my room and nap under the desk. She'll respond to me calling her but will stay put if she hears one of the little kids singing her name to get her to come out when she's done playing for a bit. Even if a kid does find her she'll just be boring until they wander off to find something else to do.

My dog never does that.
She absolutely doesn't care about dogs on TV at all. She's only interested when it's birds or big feathers on screen.
