Pit Bulls

That was a great video and one crazy, happy dog.

yes its interesting, the owner experiences the dogs behaviour as excitement and encourages it

i think its probably anxiety disorder and they both could use some behavioral training

Anxiety disorder? Are you referring to the dog because the dog seems fine. If it does suffer from a disorder it’s probably just separation anxiety, which the owner clearly deals with as soon as he comes home.

i was referring to both of them

you think thats normal healthy behaviour?

i see the opposite

That’s strange since the owner seems very calm when he unlocks the door and enters the room. He seem to be in complete control.

You mean to tell me that it’s no normal for a dog to be happy to see his master when he arrives home?

What opposite? The owner has separation anxiety that the dog deals with as soon as the owner comes home lol? Come on, thinki. I’m trying to work with you here but that seems a little foreign to me. Perhaps you should expand on your thought.

the owner uses a “squeeky voice” and seems to enjoy and encourage its behaviour

yes i think its very normal for a dog to be happy to see his master when he arrives home, no i do not see normal happiness
(you didnt answer the question, do you see normal behaviour?)

lol the opposite as in no i do not see that the owner is dealing with the dogs behaviour, he is stimulating it

He walked in the door lol. How is that encouraging overexcited behavior? I can see it triggering that kind of behavior but not encouraging it.

Yeah, and they seem to be happy. Why are you trying to create a disorder out of their play-filled greeting?

If it makes the dog happy and the owner too, what difference, (sorry, I have to do this. It’s branded into my mind for all eternity) at this point, does it make?

ah so you believe that “squeeky voice” is his normal voice and he didnt use that to excite the dog even more and later on he is forcing himself to talk like other people do? lol

lol weird but ok if you think that is normal behaviour for a dog, how come we dont see all dogs doing that everywhere?

if it would make the dog and the owner happy there wouldnt be a problem but i dont think this behaviour shows a happy dog at all…

the obvious answer is that the dog must be put down.

I didn’t watch the video or read the thread but I agree with Will. Put the pit bull down.

I couldn’t figure out what you were talking about when you said squeaky voice so I had to go replay the video because I was just paying attention to the dog. In America, we call that baby talk, something I didn’t even notice when I watched the video the first time. I don’t think the way he talks to the dog is causing the dog to behave abnormally. Lots of people baby talk their pets. Not me. I don’t like baby talk.

Yeah, I wondered that too and with a quick search found that they do.

Right. No doubt, the dog is faking it.

You two are cruel. Death comes naturally. How would you feel if the world decided you had to be put down because you served no good purpose or just because the world thought you were an aggressive breed?

If you would act more like Hitler and invest in gene drive research, we could turn that pit into lab. Nevermind. That would take too much effort and we are too mentally lazy here to even consider it. Let’s put it down and while we are at it, we should extinct the whole breed. We can do that ya know. God gave us authority over all the animals.
We should extinct cats too. Cats are very covertly evil. Put them all down.

Agreed.

yes baby talk! lol

of course it does, a dog wants to please their owner and learns by repetition…
opening the door and the baby talk triggers the dog to act abnormally because thats what makes his master happy

lol bit different but yes also unnatural behaviour triggered by the same “squeeky voice”

Yeah, but it’s a dog, thinki. In this case, the dog has been locked in an apartment all day. Any sound is going to excite that dog. You can see that she is already excited when the owner opens the door lol. Owner says nothing. Maybe the owner should send the dog to obedience school. That responsibility does fall on the owner.

I know there is a little difference. The “unnatural” behavior in this video was not triggered by baby talk but by arriving home, something she does every time she walks into her home, according to the owner. I am not advocating for baby talk or “squeaky voice” but I just don’t think that causes such behavior.

no its not, a gunshot will likely make it scared

the dog can hear the owner a mile away before they even reach the door… its the repetition, last 100 times it paid off to get excited, it made the owner happy

its taught behaviour; the owner is always to blame, a dog will try their best to please and obey their owner

if the dog is sent to obedience school or to any other environment away from that owner it will most likely automatically behave normal
or it will perhaps try once and if properly corrected/shown how to behave, it will likely never do it again…

when it returns to that home with that owner it is almost a guarantee it will do it again

Or hopefully dead.

dear thinkingaboutit
does your dog face north when it poops?
