You just have to look at the way it barks. It becomes aware of the child's presence lowering to the pillow before the kid's head touches it to potentially startle the dog. It knows the kid is there. Then, when it snarls that warning, it may have stopped baring it's teeth, but the eyes kept a 'ready-to-attack' fixation on the kid. It wasn't a "FUCK SOMETHING WOKE ME I'M SCARED!" bark, where it tried to back off or defend itself with a bark because it was dreaming and suddenly was confused to wake up. This is an animal feeling like it's territory was encroached upon by the child, which it flagrantly perceives as a threat... and it is ready to attack and quite potentially kill that child if it has to.

Fucking cocker spaniels, man. I've never met one that was OK with kids. I grew up with one and he was mean. Bit my sisters lip once, ended up getting stitches.

[–]orphenshadow 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I was fixing to say it looks like a cocker spaniel those have always been aggressive towards everything, I think they just hate being alive.

[–]sample_material 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

They probably hate that they look like the personification of the 70's.

[–]scrambles57 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Cocker Spaniels are little shits. My Aunt had one when I was a kid and it would bark at us non-stop. Hated that fucker so much. Every time they had people over, they had to lock it in their bedroom. I don't see what the point is of having a dog that shitty toward people.

[–]RugerRedhawk 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

A lot of it may have to do with the fact that they are small and owners of small dogs often treat them differently. Considering the behavior and peaceful mannerisms of other spaniels I'd be surprised of cockers were of a inherently nasty temperament.

[–]deuce271 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Spaniels in general man. Buddy had a Springer Spaniel when I was a kid. I slept over one night and my buddy's mom made us breakfast. Fucking dog was up on my chair sniffing my plate. I put my hand on his collar from the side of him (not even behind) and the fucker just turned around and bit a big ass hole in the front of my shirt. Cut me too.

Fuck that dog.

[–]panther_heaven 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

We had one for a very brief period when I was a kid. That dog was incapable of being house-broken and was the meanest little fucker I ever met. Once my parents figured out that the dog was untrainable they sent it off to live with a person who had a lot of land and no kids. We then got an English Mastiff, who was not a whole lot smarter but never crapped in the house and treated my brother and I like we were her own puppies.

[–]Median2 72 ポイント73 ポイント  (31子コメント)

Who the fuck lets their dog behave like that?

[–]azertii 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (0子コメント)

A lot of people don't train their small dogs. They're annoying and cuntish but people find it cute because they're small, but it's another story if you're small too.

[–]OnTheEveOfWar 27 ポイント28 ポイント  (22子コメント)

That dog should have received a solid scolding for that behavior. Completely unacceptable.

[–]WraithPDX 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Agreed. When my parents brought me home from the hospital and put me in the crib their yorkie came up, saw me, and started snarling and growling. They eventually disciplined it enough that it behaved around me.

I hope the people filming took the same action instead of just thinking it was funny.

[–]jheohdgs 20 ポイント21 ポイント  (13子コメント)

If my dog did that to my kid I'd send him to the farm

[–]shitty_shutterbug 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (2子コメント)

My dog used to growl at other people that walked near her while she was eating. For the next few days, every time I put her dog bowl down, I would sit right beside it. She held out for a bit but she finally started eating with me there (she would never growl at me) and became used to other people being near her.

[–]IRN-BRU_SHAMPOO 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

For future reference in case you have another dog, you have to train a dog from when they are a puppy to not get defensive of their food. When they are eating take the bowl away from them a few time and give it back to them, make sure everyone in the family does it so that the dog knows it's at the bottom of the social ladder in the house. In a pack the lower members eat at the mercy of the higher ones.

[–]Inkydinks 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

A better method is to add food to their bowl while they're eating. Taking the bowl can ironically lead to guarding behaviour. But if you're adding food, they learn much faster that it's a good thing when people get near their bowl and handle their food while they eat.

[–]Forever-a-Sir 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Ah, classic. Send the kid to the farm and keep the dog.

Exactly. I love dogs just as much as the next person. But if my dog growled or snapped like that at my child, it would be long gone.

[–]zootered 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Yep. My first dog growing up, Mr. B, had to go to the farm. He was the nicest, most badass 20 pound terrier you've ever seen, and even saved us from a home invader one time. There was lots of blood, none of which was his lol.

But he got old and snapped. Growled and bared his teeth at my 3 year old sister. The next day he was on my sister's bed. Mom tried to get Mr. B to leave, he charged her with his teeth out. Mom locked him in the room, dad came home and took him to the farm.

[–]stee_vo 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

What's "the farm"? Sounds ominous.

[–]zootered 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Ah, the farm. Rather than tell your small child you are going down the road to have the vet kill your dog, you tell them the dog is going to a farm where he will be free to run and play and be happy with other dogs. Maybe you mention that there will be all the cats he could ever want to chase. Or all the garbage cans he could ever want to pilfer.

All dogs go to heaven;(

Just found out a few weeks ago that after my grandparents died, when I was 8, their dog didn't actually go to a farm. I'm 32.

Seems a little drastic, I'm sure you could find a nice home for the kid at least

Scolding isn't going to change that behavior.

That dog should have recieved a solid ASSWHOOPING for that behavior. Completely unacceptable.

[–]thumpersoldiersgirl -5 ポイント-4 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Please don't ever scold a dog for growling/snarling/barking. Because if you do the dog goes from "I'm showing you I'm angry back off" to just a straight bite. If they get scolded for warning, they won't warn you anymore.

[–]dweicli 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Bite them back. Show them whos alpha.

[–]thumpersoldiersgirl -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah no. That "Alpha" bullshit isn't true anyway.

[–]SLUDGEBORG 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

So what's the proper way to handle the situation then?

[–]thumpersoldiersgirl 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Easiest way to deal with it, is listen to the dog. If it's a baby that is making it do that. Move that baby out of the room. Same if it's another dog. Keep them separate.

Then once you have established what makes the dog react like that. Start by SLOWLY (and I'm talking could take weeks or months) introducing the thing back to the dog using positive reinforcement.

Have the baby in the same room, but where the baby can't get anywhere near the dog. And just pet the dog, give him treats, play with him while they are in the same room together.

As the dog gets more comfortable, just move them closer and closer together (again over weeks/months) while still keeping up with the positive reinforcement.

Until the dog doesn't even react to the object that was making him freak out being near him.

Training the right way takes awhile but the reward at the end is far better for everyone involved.

And before people ask I'm an alumni from Animal Behavioral College.

[–]stupidhusky 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

People who think training their dogs is mean.

[–]MetalDevilTV 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (3子コメント)

We have a dog like that, every time I try to make him behave my mom yells at me to leave him alone as he is just an animal, fuck that little shit, he bit me so many fucking times, last time was on new years day.

[–]RugerRedhawk 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The dog knows that it ranks above you in the social order of your home.

Cocker Spaniels are fucking assholes and if someone decided to ethnically cleanse that breed I wouldn't miss it.

[–]aliterati 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think it's kinda ridiculous that every time a dog is being an asshole everyone instantly shifts blame to the owner. Yet when any other animal does the same it's blamed on the entire species being psycho. Specifically this happens with cats.

[–]jjjjjjjjjjjjiijj 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

that dog was fully aware of the child's presence. If you watch the dogs eyebrows you can see him moving them and rais them before the girls head touches the pillow

[–]KDLGates 131 ポイント132 ポイント  (33子コメント)

This. There's wiggle room here but, to whatever magnitude, this dog's a risk to the child. Sad to see.

[–]Kinetic_Waffle 29 ポイント30 ポイント  (24子コメント)

Honestly, that dog's got some Cujo juju vibes to me. No mas.

What is this wiggle room you speak of?

[–]KDLGates 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (22子コメント)

By "wiggle room" I mean that although the risk is there it doesn't mean there's necessarily going to be a tragic incident (metaphorically, that there's a wide "space" of uncertainty).

However, I presume for responsible people the acceptable risk has to be very, very low with regard to the safety of their child. I love dogs but don't underestimate them.

[–]zootered 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I cannot fathom why people would keep a dog like that around when they have children. Make it an outdoor dog and keep it away from the kid, or get rid of the dog before you are another statistic.

There is an infinite number of dogs who would be overjoyed to share the pillow with that kiddo and who would never in a million years even think of harming your child. There are even many dogs that will actively look out for your child! How people can be so reckless is beyond me.

[–]ljuvlig 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Because people really, really love their dogs and see what they need to see.

[–]stanleyfarnsworth 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Dog maybe/probably won't kill the kid but might bite the shit out of the kid's face.

[–]Galphanore 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yep. Time to return the child.

[–]ATXBeermaker 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (11子コメント)

Exactly. I had a dog that had relatively aggressive instincts, but would immediately feel remorseful after acting upon them. For example, she was napping one day when my one-year-old bumped into her. The dog snapped and bit her, then ran off into a corner and cowered because she knew she had done something wrong. This dog is not doing anything like that. It's standing its ground ready to defend its territory.

[–]vespula13 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I know what you're saying here but dogs don't understand the difference between good and bad or right and wrong so I think remorse is a bit of a stretch.

They are however quite adept at reading body language and facial expressions and become easily conditioned to expect certain responses depending on your body language.

Dogs 'knowing' what they're doing is a myth and has caused many dogs to be labelled bad dogs as if they plan out their mischief, instead they simply react to environmental stimuli like most animals.

In any case it's generally insufficient training that leads to increased bite risk.

[–]shitty_shutterbug 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I usually know my dog has chewed something up before I find it because of her body language. She slinks around all mopey and won't play.

[–]ATXBeermaker 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Call it what you will, the effect is still the same. The dog reacted instinctively and realized immediately she had done something with a negative consequence (i.e. scolding). I should emphasize that she didn't behave this way unless she was startled awake. The easy solution was to move her bed away from where the baby could get to.

[–]Kaleyedoskopic 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (7子コメント)

The dog's probably cowering because you probably have a history of punishing your dog for telling you she's uncomfortable. Growling is communication. You need to keep your baby and your dog safe, this isn't going to get better on its own.

[–]SLUDGEBORG 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (4子コメント)
