Maybe the dogs are bored or sick of his company
I have a good question- My dog has a stub for a tail… He cant tuck his tail or raise it high so how will I know?
i just have a question: you said that when the dog’s tail is wagging in the middle then that is a happy state; but when my dog wags side to side in the middle he is actually nervous like when he wags his tail low. but when he wags his tail up and down or in circles, that means he is happy. Is that a common thing or just that my dog expresses himself differently?
my dogs tail is 2 cm long hes a yorkshire terrier
great vid!
but what if your dog doesn’t have a tail? like a corgi
A pack leader can act unafraid to the source of the fear and the fearful dog will learn to take cues from him. And that can be seen as comfort.
If you comfort him in a human way, “good boy its ok, don’t worry” and pet him he will learn its ok to feel this way, and he will go to his human whenever it happens. Which is an undesirable trait.
“Dogs are not binary machines. They are psychologically more complex than simply responding to rewards and punishments. ”
Yes dogs are not binary machines, and they are complex animals, but unfortunately they don’t speak english, so we cannot communicate with them in a complex way. The most effective way to train your dog is to mark the moment you are either happy, or unhappy with what he is doing or what he has done. Comforting a dog as not the same as comforting a human.
Dogs are not binary machines. They are psychologically more complex than simply responding to rewards and punishments.
Dogs seek comfort from their mothers, companions and masters. Dogs that are not comforted may hide and become very neurotic whenever they are scared because they will not see their masters as caring or in control.
Kev3d Thats wrong, if you pet the dog when it is afraid then you are rewarding that state of mind, the same way that you pet and praise a dog when it sits. If your dog is afraid you need to be ignore that behaviour and act indifferent towards the source of the fear. Dogs don’t rationalize like humans he doesn’t understand what you mean that when you are petting him and saying “its alright, dont worry”. All he knows is that you are happy with what he is doing right now, and that is being afraid.
they are both pitbulls
what breed is the white dog?
but if you pet them, it kinda like is tell them that it is okay to be afraid….it’s just better to let them be especially if you are a stranger,but if they are barking then a nervous matter,you have to firmly correct them.I just wanna remind you guys that dogs think differently. Petting is not reassuring,but it actually is praising.
IF you pet a dog incorrectly,the do will think it is the leader
Thats absurd, if a dog is afraid and you are it’s master you should touch and comfort the dog. The dog must learn that you are in control and not a threat. A frightened dog *might* bite, but more often than not, it wants to be reassured by it’s masters. A well raised dog will almost never bite at all, much less it’s master.
what if your dogs tail is normal but the tip of it is up?
first off do not listen to this guy he has no idea what hes talkung about… if you want you dog to poop in a specific area put on a leesh when u take him out o the bath room… bring him to the woods or the spot and stay there till he gos to the bath room.. whne he dose grace him and reward him… if u want more help search up for the amazing dog training man on youtube.. hes very helpfull
why would u give this comment a thumbs down?? u cant just not pet a dog cuz its afraid thats how u end up getting them t bite strangers when there walking or something.. u shhould always show ur dog biting is not acceptable everr
@CodyIsPriest LOOOL

sexy
“You never pet a dog when he’s afraid, ’cause it’ll just make him more afraid”
Good god, you need to do some more ressearch. If you are being held at gunpoint and someone gives you a chocolate chip cookie do you become more afraid?
