mita Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I had a barking Tibbie here... while that was playing! Lily next door is staying over & she got very annoyed with the dog's noise. She barked as if to say, 'Get a grip!' I had a Tibbie who used to get over-excited and literally scream whenever I came home. I had to train her out of it.... & not pat and reassure her until she was calm. It worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What really gets my wick is people who buy dogs and allow them to be not dogs. They actively encourage this behaviour. Rant over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazhak Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 seems to me the dog might actually have a brain disorder of some kind or it hyperventilated.. but yeah i wouldn't be sharing it on youtube I'd be getting it checked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Geez, that is concerning in more ways than one. They are encouraging that behaviour and the dog passed out????????? Not funny, not good, not normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah82 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) I saw this on the project the other night, not sure where they got their information but apparently the dog was taken to the vet and is fine. And the owner hadn't seen the dog in 2 years! I'm sure she was just as excited and not about the ignore the dog because it wasn't behaving properly. Edit: here's the original youtube link confirming the vet visit Edited July 27, 2014 by Leah82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That puts a different slant on the episode. It wasn't necessarily habitual behaviour by the dog, but a response to an unusual event.... hadn't seen the owner for 2 years. Sure shows that what preceded a particular behaviour is important to know ... in order to understand it. Edited July 27, 2014 by mita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 It appeared the dog was hyperventilating perhaps. He's obviously a very affectionate dog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_PL_ Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I don't buy the vet story. Maybe the vet decided to 'wait and see' but that's different from the dog being OK. Which it seriously isn't. It staggered, fainted, twitched, stopped vocalising and became disoriented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavNrott Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Evidently the video has been removed by the owner so I can't see it. If the dog is passing out I would have it's heart checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any reason to not buy the vet story. What's the point of judging someone when you have no way of knowing the full story anyway.

And have seen that kind of syncope before in elderly dogs so no, it's not normal and I'm not comfortable watching it .... even if it is a sweet story and even if we're told the dog saw a vet.

~Anne~ Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 He appeared to be a much loved pet to me. The guy cuddled him, the younger woman cuddled him. He was well fed and groomed to boot. I can't see any indication that the owners wouldn't do what is in the best interests of the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
