sheena Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Dog Says Noooooooo I think the heat must be getting to me as I am supposed to find this latest viral dog video posted on my FB, hilarious. All I see is a very stressed but patient dog, that obviously hasn't been crate trained & doesn't want to go out in the cold to his kennel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rozzie Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 No, didn't tickle my funny bone at all. I just saw a stressed dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemesideways Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Doesn't seem stressed to me, my GSD Rogue will do that whingy bitching noise too sometimes. If you aren't opening her crate fast enough or not rubbing her belly to her satisfaction. Its funny, but its also really really terrible behaviour. Dogs biting his owner to get his own way.

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 What a beautiful dog, I thought his replies to the owner's instructions were pretty funny. I didn't think he was stressed, just being wayward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Acting like a typical stubborn teenager, didn't look stressed to me just annoyed at being moved :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimax Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 The "OMG crates are evil" comments on that page annoy me more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weasels Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Didn't look overly stressed to me either, that might not even be his real cue for getting in the crate, just a game they play. Weez makes a similar noise when I tell him to stop barking, and I reward it because it's cute as hell and a much better alternative to annoying woofs :laugh: Edited January 18, 2014 by Weasels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I've seen friends sibes 'talk' it's not unusual for some breeds to make whiny type noises, my basset 'talks' a lot if she's being asked to do something and she's not in the mood or if she's particularly excited.

WreckitWhippet Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 He would have had a lead swiftly attached to him and been booted outside if he were mine.When I say get up and get out, I mean it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottsmum Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 It's cute. Scotty mutters - usually to get us out of bed for morning walks. Only thing I didn't like (and I know they were filming for laughs) but was how long they let it go on for. I couldn't have lasted that long asking nicely for it to go out.

*kirty* Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 That's what Pia does when I try and move her sometimes. I don't think the dog was stressed, just being naughty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjelkier Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Doesn't look stressed to me. Looks more like a stubborn, opinionated Spitz giving it's owner the finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Zeus does that lying down, throwing a tantie on his back thing too, only without the noise. He does it at bath time. I actually kill myself laughing when Zeus does this because he pins his back to the ground and knows I can't possibly lift him from that position. It's annoying, amusing and very smart. I don't think the dog is stressed, more just acting like a petulant child! And no, I didn't find this particular funny -- I'm just glad I'm not the only person with a dog like this!

koalathebear Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I don't think the dog looks stressed at all. I'm sure the owner has a 'serious' voice for getting the dog outside and they're just kidding around with it My dogs certainly know when I'm serious and not serious about a command.

I have a whinger, if hes asleep on my legs and I ask him to move he grumbles, same if he's on the end of the bed and I ask him to hop off. He will grumble but then does what hes told.

Boston will do it sometimes too if you go to pick him up and he thinks it's for something not fun. He will roll on his back and play dumb, like "ohh you want to give me belly rubs, okay!" and his tail wags a little bit like he knows he's being cheeky, and he lifts his head to make sure I'm watching him :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 OK....I give in....You have all convinced me that I am reading too much into the body language of the dog. Maybe I've been taking too much notice of the recent Delta Seminar I went to that spent a lot of time on "signs of stress" :) Still think it is about as funny as a train wreck...maybe it went on for too long & I missed the bit about "crates are evil" :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
