Restless is also a sign of boredom and a lack of exercise. They're extremely smart and energetic. They're not a breed for hands off owners.It amazes me that people who get a potentially complicated breed like a Doberman have so very little knowledge of dogs or apparently aren't willing to go to dog school with them to train both of them.
If you have such a big dig don't do your videos sitting on the floor. That's an automatic invitation to your dog to come and play with you because you're on his level. Of course he'll get in your face then and you can't even blame him.

Yep, been there too fairly often. I always loved animals but after getting my dog I've become even more of animal lover with a huge emotional weak spot.

You have more faith in the Internet than I do
Yeah I've always thought you can tell who a person really is by how they treat animals. They are in the position of power over animals so it seems like a window into someone's hidden nature to me.I admit I'm disgusted by how many of their videos begin with someone finding a bag full of kittens in a trash can, or a puppy set loose in the wild with electrical tape around its snout so it can't eat or drink, or similarly fucked up shit. I don't get how people can be so cruel to helpless animals like that. It's like how you know someone's a psychopath if they strangle cats or whatever.
i don'tPeople grow up in abusive families and relationships. Violence like this can honestly be hard to control sometimes. She's pretty young, so I can potentially feel sympathy for someone struggling. That doesn't mean that what she's doing is ok.

What the -- This was locked a second time?The fact this was locked twice by the same mod has me scratching my head quite a bit. Obliviously, logic won the day. But one has to wonder.

Agreed, my dog is a straight up family member to me. He's always been there for me with love and affection when I've had a bad spell and I try to be there for him too, especially now as he's getting old and is unfortunately going blind in one eye among other little issues. It does feel like a symbiotic relationship like you say.Indeed. But if I'm being real, I probably get just as much out of my dog as he gets out of me, if not more. My dog really is my best friend. He makes me laugh. I tell him secrets, he's my programming rubber duck when I have a computer problem. I don't feel like I'm lording over my dog so much as we're partners in crime together. I like doing thing with my dog and being his buddy. People who get drunk on some insignificant power over a hapless animal are sick. Dog ownership is at it's best when it's a symbiotic relationship.

Yeah, my dog is coming up for 12 now. He's slowed down but he can still run around and play as soon as you grab one of his toys pretty well. It sucks watching him get older but in the last year or two I've just promised myself to try and make this the best time of his life and really treasure every day I get with him.My dog turns 10 this october. I don't like thinking about my dog getting old :(
Luckily he's still very frisky and full of energy. He hasn't slowed down.
Maybe they don't like threads promoting bigots like Shoe0nHead, since both threads used her as a source.Sounds like someone in the mod team is either a Houts defender, or hates dogs just as much as her.

That's good to know, I have worried about his quality of life once his vision goes but this puts me a little more at ease, thanks.My last dog went blind but lived for about 4 years after going blind. Being blind isn't that awful for a dog, they actually learn to adapt. Hopefully your dog retains some vision enough so it can still go and play. My dog, Kennedy, would break my heart by the end because he was just so tired all the time, but when he was awake, he could still navigate the house and find his stuffed animals and do dog things.

I really like Helpful Vancouver Vet. His videos are made to be informative more than entertaining, but I find his enthusiasm and love for his cats to be endlessly watchable. I've learned a fair amount from his stuff, and my cat is much happier as a result. Turns out he loves to be squished. I squish that cat on a daily basis now.Man, don't follow garbage youtubers like this. If you need some uplifting animal shit online, follow TheDodo on twitter.
Hahaha they are smart as hell at playing people and getting what they want. Floyd knows exactly how to play me when I've given him into trouble for something and told him to go to bed. Little sad eyes and face comes out then he starts walking slowly with his head hanging down. Makes me just give up and pet him because I feel bad.Haha, kennedy would ham it up sometimes. Like I had a rule that he couldn't beg for food while I ate, so I'd make him go lay down on his bed during dinner time. So once he went blind, I'd be like "Go lay down Kennedy" while serving food, and he'd act all bewildered like he didn't know where he was. BUT, his leash to go potty was also by his bed, and if I'd say "let's go bye bye" then he'd immediately snap out of it and run to the leash and sit in his bed to wait for me to put it on him, haha. Sneaky boy.
