“it makes me feel sad and unwanted” 🥺 i feel so sorry for mike i can’t imagine coming back from the hospital after a stroke and your little buddy doesn’t even recognize you

[@veritiesking7150]

Tank would be outside in the back yard. (All joke aside) I can under stand why the people just do not know how to control a dog. I believe in treating my dog very good but the dog isn’t human; ( a dog is not a human child) After all it is an animal that needs direction and discipline and the human needs to be in control at all times.

[@ulalaFrugilega]

@@veritiesking7150You are, of course, mostly correct, but dogs are persons, and of social inclination, so explaining does go a long way with them... you just need to understand that the explaining must be done in a way the dog can understand.

[@ulalaFrugilega]

It made me cry, bc I lived through sth. similar: when I was in hospital for cancer OP, I was gone a week. My Mom came to my flat and cared for my eddie... and it took years until he would choose me over her again to sit with, etc.... even though he would behave much better, he wasn't aggressive, but it was hard for me, weak and sick, radiation therapy is very taxing, and all the time unwanted by my dearest darling.

The story of Ted and Mike is so sad,heartbreaking,poor mike ,I hope the stratergies work for them

[@darcyjeanske821]

I know. So sad. It's like Ted is protecting his mom from Mike. I think with Mike's cancer as well as being in the hospital so long, Ted doesn't recognize Mike anymore. It's too bad that mom didn't bring Ted to the hospital.

Exactly, I usually watch Cesar millan and he always says don't pet your dog until they're out of that state of mind and it's usually when the dog is laying down and just ignoring whatever it was barking or growling at.

How exactly has his body chemistry changed? Anyone needing new medication or eating a new diet would have a changed body chemistry. We all know what a smoker smells like as they pass in the street. Or can tell if someone had a garlic heavy meal. But 2 of my 3 dogs, the mother and her daughter, were very uncomfortable round people who were drunk or high and wanted to pet them. The male offspring wasnt concerned.

[@AussiePaulie]

Not a dog expert but the first thing l thought might be the problem is the walking stick.

[@hellabella8295]

Stable dogs raised properly are NOT affected by anything.. so the issue started way before the cane.. The poor dog is unstable and not secure because they put human emotions onto dogs and it’s cruel.. because they aren’t respecting dogs for being dogs and creating unhappy dogs.

[@TheTelblackwell]

It's a crutch 🩼 and it would have been up woodys bottom

[@ASLsoFine]

It's likely Mike has had shouting fits of frustration and some flailing when he had brain tumor/post-stroke (or maybe DURING the stroke if Ted witnessed it.) due to inability to move and that scared Ted. I don't think Ted has very sharp vision anymore for more than movement per se. All he sees is one side has the cane (which isn't new to him) and seems sort of OK, but the other side moves scary-bad. I bet he was OK when Mike was still in a wheelchair, just leery. I do agree 100% re the Frenchies being victims of bad, overly indulgent and inconsistent "Little dog owner" ownership. The breed is already challenging and being coddled when they act out has reinforced it into a nightmare.

[@locojazzhands]

My boy was scared of disability equipment- walking sticks, mobility scooters, wheelchairs, crutches.. anything unnatural. He wouldn't attack anyone but he'd show fear. All it takes is one incident to create fear. Then it can take a lifetime to try an overcome it. I really hope these guys sorted out their issues. The humans seemed incredibly soft on Ted when he was being very naughty. There's always more to the story... I have another dog who owns me too, so I get it. I'm grateful that as psycho as she has been, I've let her know she can't behave like that or there's a consequence. I've never hurt her, just not given in to her demands. Well, not to all of them! 🙊 If there's calm affirmative direction and correction, combined with loving rewards for good behaviour, dogs usually respond positively. I was very scared of my current dog when I got her, but I'm so proud of her now 🙏

[@AapVanDieKaap]

The problem is when the dog growls at the husband, the wife rewards the dog. You see her stroking the dog when it starts growling at him. The answer is always the owner trained the dog to do it. There are no bad dogs, but plenty of dim people.

[@k8n809]

The story of Mike and teddy makes me so upset, my dad had a stroke also. And I get why Mike is so emotional, my dad’s emotions are heightened after his stroke. I’m glad my wee dog has helped my dad, just hope wee teddy does the same for Mike 🥺

[@haplessasshole9615]

No, he's going after Mike's hands, not his stick. I thought the same at first, but Ted is strictly after Mike.

[@FigaroHey]

My thoughts exactly. A person's body chemistry and odor can change with cancer. Some dogs can even smell cancer on a person. So he smelled like a stranger and had a stick and here he is in my house and no Mike to protect Ted and Pat from the stranger. I'd have given Mike some clothes he had not worn since before the cancer treatment if possible, something or things with his scent on them for Mike to wear or hold. His pillow from his bed, for example. So the dog could connect Mike's pre-illness smell with his post-illness smell.

well, i cant consider myself an expert, but like many people who comment here i am annoyed at most dog owners who are showed on this show. i don’t have a dog currently, but i want to get one soon, and have had dogs in the past.. i’ve spent probably over 200 hours researching about the dog breed i want, and how to care for them including training, nutrition and exercise. most people get dogs and don’t research anything, don’t put any time into training their dog beyond “sit” and “down”.. and then they’re surprised when bad behaviour happens. most issues with dogs can be avoided completely by simply doing research before you get one, so you know how to handle issues early. with the internet being so full of different resources, it’s not hard to find “all answers” to typical dog problems. i am watching this show currently as part of my research to see what not to, and i refuse to get a dog until i know everything i need about proper dog care.

It's the cane and possibly the shoes. Once we introduced a walker, our dog would bark at my brother. When my husband bought new shoes, our dog would not go near him. It was some weird anxieties that we had to work through.

All dogs should be fine with any changes and if the dogs are raised the right way ABSOLUTELY NOTHING affects them.. because the dogs are stable, secure and trust the owners and NOTHING AFFECTS THEM.. when a dog is insecure AND NOT RAISED PROPERLY, they WILL BE AFFECTED BY SOME THINGS.. because the dog doesn’t trust the owners.. I could drive a tractor through the house, have ALL OF THE CANES, SET FIREWORKS OFF IN THE BACKYARD.. CHANGE EVERYTHING and my dogs would not be affected at all.. the issue STARTED WAY BEFORE HE COME HOME WITHE THE CANE..

​@@hellabella8295 your dogs behaviour would change. A lot of dog breeds are bred for certain lines of work, like guarding, or in a terrier's case, hunting. They're used to routine.

Why are you allowing her to pet him when he is growling? That is the point of disallowing the behavior.

[@emsxbabe1982]

You DON'T train a dog not to growl or reprimand them for doing so. A growl is very useful. It's a warning. Dogs need to be able to growl so we can read their behaviour. If a dog is trained not to growl, they will resort to biting without warning. The underlying issue here needed to be addressed not the resulting behaviour. Very outdated way of thinking - dogs need to be able to communicate so we can understand them.

[@beepbopboop7727]

@@emsxbabe1982You can 100% train out aggressive behaviour. You remove them from the stimulation and only allow them back when they are calm. Eventually they will learn that if they are aggressive they have to go to the naughty spot.

[@emsxbabe1982]

@@beepbopboop7727 Yes you can train out aggressive behaviour but a dog shouldn't be taught that growling is wrong. Growling is a form of communication and is useful for all sorts of situations. Plus all the training in the world is never a guarantee so you don't want a dog that decides to go straight to a bite when a kid is annoying him rather than at least giving a warning growl first. Obedience training is far more effective than reprimanding a dog for undesirable behaviours. For example, dogs bark but you don't want them to bark endlessly. So training would involve allowing a dog to bark at a stimuli a couple of times but to stop barking when you give the command. Teaching a dog that barking in itself is wrong means they won't bark in a situation where you might actually want them to, like an intruder trying to access your property.

[@ravenlunatic2627]

Regarding the situation with Teddy. I don't think that it's necessarily the change in Mike since he returned from hospital, but maybe the stick that he is having to use. Maybe Teddy has developed a negative association with the stick? It would be interesting to know if the couple have had Teddy from a puppy or did he have a previous owner or was he a rescue dog? If he has been owned by others previously, he may have been taunted or even hit with a stick which would explain his negative association with it? I felt a bit uncomfortable watching the part where they used the can of compressed air, especially when they attached it to the walking stick, because I just thought that it might further increase Teddy's anxiety about the stick but it seems to have worked quite well and hopefully this continues to work. I genuinely think though, that it's the stick, and not Mike, that Teddy is reacting to.

[@squaretriangle9208]

It's good to have dogs before having babies because they exactly show which kind of parent you're gonna be and how to fix your parenting behaviour flaws The woman has to change her behaviour before having children because this will be the exact problem with future children, too

Mike got another smell after leaving Hospital. Desinfection and medcine 😱

[@hellabella8295]

I don’t do the same techniques as this dude and I do the Cesar Milan method and my dogs are PERFECT.. HAPPY.. STABLE AND PERFECT.. Cesar’s methods are soft, quiet and perfect.. and although I was born with dogs.. and showed and bred dogs for decades.. I already trained dogs but changed a few things and now it’s amazing .. I know dogs body language and the control I have is amazing.. my dogs are 70KG.. so big, when someone is at the fence they ram the fence etc.. but the second I go outside they immediately come to me.. without a word.. and relax but of course are still alert.. but they know I’m the pack leader and take their cues from me.. imagine 3 dogs immediately stopping barking and relaxing when mums around.. 😂 Dogs are not human and it’s cruel to put human emotions onto dogs because they end up exactly like we see here.. UNHAPPY, STRESSED, UNSTABLE AND RIDICULOUS.. all because people treat dogs like humans.. it’s CRUEL.. and if people actually loved their dogs they would want their dogs happy.. SO STOP THE BABY TALK, STOP PRAISING DOGS.. ACTUALLY STOP TALKING SO DAMN MUCH.. especially when you are trying to rehabilitate an unstable dog.. respect dogs for being dogs and learn how to be responsible dog parents.. if people want happy dogs..

15:27 that sign speaks volumes about their thought process behind how they treat their dogs behaviour. If they had just ignored it in the beginning bruce would have learned that acting that way didnt get him what he wanted

[@uvshine7584]

I have sprollies and they are as different as chalk and cheese one is loving to everyone and the other wont tolerate any other dog but her sister. She is a nightmare to walk

[@joeyglewnston]

Dog growls at the womans husband and she keeps petting it

[@Lionforaday]

🙄I get that the wife wants to comfort Ted, thinking he's upset - but from Ted's perspective? She's rewarding him, as if she's saying, "Thanks for saving me from this strange man who now lives with us."

[@samanthacassidy6377]

In her mind she's trying to calm it down

[@mashdeals6884]

Every frenchie I’ve ever met talks like this. Ppl need to be the pack leader and put them in check. Not physically hurt them ever, just not tolerate this behavior

[@rosablume4346]

I really dont get how people still want to get French bull dogs as a pet, the information is there, they have health problems and often neurotic issues

[@justaperson4656]

There are reputable breeders though who are working health issues out of the breed. There's a lot of those types of breeders, but with frenchies specifically, there's a program for lengthening their muzzle

[@Travelling_with_my_dog]

Poor Mike; he looks so sad.

[@Jessies_life_and_thingz]

What kind of name is popcorn though?

[@rosanawirepa7906]

He’s jealous omg poor Mike please find help❤

[@ezridax19]

This is what happens when you treat dogs like children.

[@lukewhiting3025]

That poor Frenchie (not Bruce) Had a face like us hearing high frequency 😳poor guy

[@LightInsights]

The thought of Bruce 's owners becoming parents is really frightening

[@helgaherbstreit5102]

Bruce became quiet but not calm.

[@joywebster2678]

Popcorns mom could have her kid help carry some groceries so mom has more freedom to deal with Popcorn.

I have an 11 yo Shitzu Maltese who just started doing this when I get up to go the bathroom in the morning. I have 3 dogs and they all sleep in large crates in my bedroom at night. Now he has started throwing a fit. Totally annoying why I am trying to go to the bathroom.

[@camartinwv]

I thought maybe I could get some tips here. Nah. Durn.

[@lauraw.7008]

@camartinwv at 11 yo, there may be a health cause. My 16yo doxy-mix has started taking himself to the bedroom, and barking insistently to get me to come to bed. If it’s close to bedtime, fine. But I’m not going to bed at 7:00 pm. He gets picked up & brought back into living room. His hearing & vision are mostly gone. I asked vet, in Kobe’s case he said may just be getting older, and doggy dementia could be setting in. Or his arthritis pain meds may also be making him want to sleep more. Does your older dog need to go to the bathroom urgently?

[@lydiadaugherty5171]

😢😮So sorry, that is disconserting indeed! ❤

[@hellabella8295]

Watching these people is so frustrating.. it’s so obvious to me.. what’s going on.. OMG. THE DUDE JUST SAID IF HE CANT FIX THE DOG THEY WOULD GET RID OF HIM.. MY GOD.. you don’t fix the dog because it’s the people with issues and any dog they get won’t be raised properly..

[@beverlyjones9750]

[@maxinebulldog7095]

Popcorn has territorial aggression for his person and hes been babied.

[@nattchi8731]

French bulldog Bruce’s owner Camilla behaviour is so irritating !

[@goldensloth7]

good god yes

[@Hexhex66]

Many dog ​​owners don't understand that dogs are pack animals. They always need to know who is the leader and who is above them in the hierarchy - namely every human family member. If this is not clear, the dog occupies a higher position in the pack than the human and starts to threaten family members.

[@mangot589]

Those terriers🙈. I rescued an elderly guy. My first terrier. Cairn mix as far as I can tell. he looks a great deal like Ted lol. Actually my first little dog. I’ve always had Setters, Shepards , etc. Big dogs. This guy? Holy moly. I’ve had many (many) dogs. This lil dude? Stubborn omg little guys. You seriously have to be FIRM. Not mean to them. He’s actually quite the gentleman, at home, but not when we go on a walk? Then he’s the Hound of the Baskervilles. First dog I’ve had had to use a leash on, even. Oh well. I don’t mind walking him at 5 am so I don’t meet others🙄😩 lol. Yeah, I really do, lol. Oh well. 🤷‍♀️ I really give it to these people who work so hard to give these animals a home. Bless them🙏

[@melanieallen8980]

great video!@

[@rmason5477]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jacquibradley1598]

I think dogs have a better intuition than us, I think Teddy was trying to tell his dad not to do so much, he was frightened he might lose him completely!

[@FigaroHey]

Attacking is not how dogs protect. If he was acting in a protective way, he'd try to block Mike walking or stay by his side. Anthropomorphizing dogs is part of what makes a useless dog owner.

[@goldensloth7]

by intimidating him? and biting him?

[@lorivattes2187]

If Ted is a rescue, he might have some trauma issues. I watched a youtube video a while ago and this dog would wake up screaming because of being abused. They tried everything to help him. Finally they tried blue light therapy and for once the dog got a good night sleep. Maybe a blue light would help??

[@themermaidstale5008]

It doesn’t seem that Ted was a rescue dog. He’d been a loving family pet to both of them for years. His behavior changed when Mike changed after the surgery and hospital stay.
