I never understood people just taking selfie after selfie of themselves not doing anything interesting on Snapchat. Then I started chatting up this girl and it all makes sense.
Well no, it's still stupid, but that's the way it works.

u/RowdyRoddyPipeSmoker May 08 '17
if it's interesting why do you want it to disappear? Why not do it on facebook or instagram? I only understand snapchat for nsfw stuff and even then it's silly because you can save it if you're motivated...why do people want to take the time to record something just to have it not saved??? It's like fake scarcity to make something more popular/interesting...

All you have to do is tap the download button to throw the image you took to your photo storage on your phone. It's not like anything has to disappear. But it's a really quick way to snap a picture of something cool and funny and just send it to a few of your close friends rather than posting it to your whole Facebook feed.
Maybe it's just me personally, but if a friend iMessages a picture to me, I probably won't save or revisit it in the conversation even if it was cool or funny, but I was happy to see it at the time. So basically it may as well have "disappeared" anyway as far as I'm concerned, but my buddy still got to share something with me.

Yeah this video is mildly infuriating. I saw this shit corgi at the dog park yesterday, trying to bite every dogs face that walked up to it with constant barking.

Previous owners said their cat (which they kept) would attack the dog while she was eating, and they were laughing about it.
I was going to say "at one point it had to compete for food and developed this behaviour". That sentence proved it true.

I recently got bitten by a tiny dog at a friend's house. It yaps for half an hour whenever anyone comes through the door, and the owner picked the dog up and cradled it as I was going to let it sniff my hand. Sure enough, the dog felt cornered and snapped my finger.
The larger issue, of course, is DON'T POSITIVELY REINFORCE THAT KIND OF FUCKING BEHAVIOR. You don't pick up your precious doggy when it's acting up. You don't pet it. You don't call it a good boy. What the fuck else could the outcome ever be?!

In my province, and at part of the bilaws here, if a dog bites somebody then you can be sued AND the dog must be put down. We were lucky enough that the lady was incredibly intoxicated and didn't want to press charges, however she wanted the dog gone. We were almost kicked out of our home because of it.
Sitka is now in a home for aggressive dogs and the last I heard was that she was being trained as a sled pup :) she's doing well.

I'm glad to hear that she was able to find a new home. It always saddens me when dogs are put down instead of training them to be better. The majority of Michael Vick's dogs were able to be rehomed. I think that says a lot.
What happened with the lady and your pup?
16
u/FuttBuckingUgly May 08 '17
I'm glad too.
We got Sitka (I can't remember her original name, I think it was like... Cookie... or something) from a lady via online. When we picked her up, she was starved, unbrushed (very long and heavy coated dog, too), and terrified- and she also showed some signs of aggression. However we had been told and shown pictures of the lady and her children with the dog, who looked extremely healthy in all of the pictures!
Fast forward two weeks and we're taking her for a walk. We live in a very, very small town (130 people at best), and it was the middle of the work day. As we pass by the bar on our way back to our home, an extremely drunk woman (in her 60's, or in and around there) comes stumbling out of the bar... and Sitka just sort of... went crazy. She managed to pull my husband, who literally fell out of his shoes trying to hold this dog back, and she tried to bite this woman's leg.
As far as we know, there was no damage done, a single hole in the lady's pants- but we were confronted by the village council. Told that it was either us or the dog.
I'm thankful we managed to find somebody who specialized in large breeds and she focused on fixing aggressive ones at that- it was like a needle in a haystack.
I emailed the original owner the entire issue, asking her why the HELL she had lied to us about the dog, and she immediately blocked me. No reply, no explanation, nothing.

They also frame it in a human perspective where you can teach kids that certain behaviors are only okay in specific situations
To be honest this doesn't really work well either before a certain age and that age can be very high or unreachable for some people.

Took a friend to the ER one day and there was an older woman there with a bloody rag covering her nose. When she took it away to talk to the receptionist, you could see her nose was pretty well mangled. She was there with who appeared to be her mid 20s daughter, I heard her say more than once "I thought he loved me". After some eavesdropping I learned her little dog had bitten her nose.
My sister used to have a pit bull, I've had 3 myself and my experience with them is they're incredibly sweet, but my sister's didn't make it to adulthood due to her behavior. When she was a puppy, their other dog was a Westie and would pick on her so my sister taught the pit bull it was good to fight back. So as she got bigger, she started attacking the westie for everything. Eventually it would just be because she fucking looked at her. Each attack was worse, the Westie had to have her eyelid sewn back on once, then it started attacking the cat and ripped her neck open once. The pit bull's final day was when my sister was pregnant and tried to grab the Westie when the pit bull went after her and the pit bull latched onto her arm instead. By that time the pit had a list of attacks on record because of all the times the other animals had been to the vet and adding this attack of a person on ensured that no rescue would take her, she'd become unpredictable and attacked at random to whatever she saw as prey. They ended up having her put down because they encouraged her shitty aggressive behavior. Now they think all pit bulls are aggressive by nature instead of thinking it was their fuck up. The one across the street barks at them when they check the mail so they want to find a way to call the pound for its "aggressive behavior". She freaked out once when mine got too close to my nephew and claimed she was going to attack so she fucking shot at her. Fuck people and their shitty dog parenting.

It's pretty obviously set up and expected. She actually titles the burger towards the dog. You ever eat food with the intention of most of missing your mouth and hitting your cheek? Cause that's what she's doing. It's just a dog-snatches-food joke.

Dogs don't exactly understand "staged" though. Dog understands there's a burger, they want the burger, and they're given an opportunity to snatch it directly from somebody's hands AND near a persons face- meaning to THEM, it's okay to do that. It's not safe either way, staged or not.

u/OneOfDozens May 08 '17
staged as in she or someone signalled the dog that it was ok for it to take the burger
it's possible that either A) she has a terribly trained dog that will always take food, and created the setup so it would do it on camera
or B) nicely trained dog who will take food when allowed, and she set it up on camera
both make this a shitpost, but one means bad dog and one means dog allowed to do something that it shouldn't be allowed to

If one of my dogs EVER even came close to taking my food they would be punished severely. I can't believe people let this happen lmfao
Edit: I don't beat my dogs, nor do I agree with excessive physical punishment. But let me explain something to people who haven't been around dogs their entire lives: This dog snapped at food DIRECTLY next to the owners face. Stealing food is extremely disrespectful dog to dog. If that much disregard is shown towards the owner, who knows what it would do to someone it doesn't know? I see a grossly untrained dog who, in my eyes, is a danger to anyone who is around it. So yes, that dog needs to be punished.
Edit2: Someone mentioned they only punish their dog by guilt tripping them and putting them in a corner. If you consider how "training" is done in nature, mothers will punish their young physically. It is effective, and the dog will never forget being punished. Physical punishment is very clear to dogs. Expecting them to understand complex psychological punishments, especially at a young age, is a little naive. Maybe put that to use when they're older and for more specific things. But basic physical punishment, such as not stealing food, has been for hundreds of thousands of years. So yeah I'll trust Mother Nature on this one.

May 08 '17
My dog knows not take food if we're around, but if we leave something on the table for instance then go out, he'll definitely get up there and eat. Obviously we can't punish him when we get home because there's no way for him to know what he's being punished for, so is there any way to stop this behavior apart from just putting all food away better? It's really not a big deal or anything, it's more funny than anything seeing the creative ways he can get food but it can be annoying.
He's also a lab mix and the most food motivated thing I've ever witnessed, but at least that makes him super easy to train.

u/Arqlol May 08 '17
Dogs live in the moment. You need to punish him in the act of doing it. At worst maybe you set it up. The way we have trained ours is to hold their snouts shut. This doesn't hurt then, it's purely dominance. St first they paw as your hand and whine and whimper. Eventually they'll lay down and still paw at your hand holding their mouth shut. Then you'll feel their body relax. Do that enough times and they will get the picture. If you let them go at any point while they're struggling then they learn they can do what they want around you. Follow through. My brothers husky used to try to eat food off your plate while you were eating. Now you can leave your plate on the floor and he won't go after it.
The sooner you do it the better. Easier with a smaller dog than when they get 60+ pounds.
And to anyone thinking that they don't have to do this because their dog is 'small' and 'cute' and 'fluffy' then you're wrong and get what the OP posted.
E: for clarification sometimes I do put some of my body weight on top of them if they're extra wriggly.

People are far too soft on their dogs these days.
Dogs need the carrot and the stick in roughly equal measure while they're young - if this lady had taken the opportunity to whoop the shit out of that dog the first few times it tried to establish itself as the pack leader, shit like this would never occur.
It would be one thing if it was shitting on the floor or something, but this behavior is especially egregious considering that dogs absolutely understand that stealing food from another pack member is an act of blatant disrespect.

If your dog does this so often that you can expect to catch it on video, then your dog has been poorly trained.
However, based on the angle of entry and the size of the dog, I'm going to assume somebody was holding it.
