"It's a myth that dogs are colorblind" followed by "they just have a harder time telling the difference between colors"... That's what color blind means.... I am color blind... That doesn't mean I can't see any colors, it literally means having trouble distinguishing between certain colors. Dogs are color blind ETA: For all of you arguing that dogs aren't color blind because they are supposed to see that way, the encyclopedia brittanica and every educational source considers dogs color blind. They have trouble distinguishing between certain shades. That is the definition of color blindness.
i feel like a lot of people think colorblind means total monochromacy and not "one or two of my color perceiving cones are kinda fucked so colors are weird" which needs to be a more prevalent knowledge really
Bruh my dog ate a whole bar of chocolate and we immediately rushed to the vet. He checked his health and said: “Well, your dog likes chocolate -and tolerates it. He’s fine.” Then he looked at my dog and my dog looked at him. Both were confused, that was so funny. Then I took him home and now I changed his name to Choco.
We used to feed our pomeranian full reeses peanut butter cups. I've seen other dogs get a hold of chocolate cakes etc and literally nothing happened to any of them. Trust me, the chocolate thing is way over exaggerated. If anything you're harming your dog psychologically by not sharing a tiny bite of chocolate with it.
I remember when I first loaded a RUclips video. It was in 2008. The content was my old Dog Max, at about three months old, playfully pulling a Poodles tail at the dog park. The owner was laughing and having a great time. The tail pulling was a response from poodle attempting to mount him. So I uploaded the video and it went viral and after 5k likes RUclips deleted it. Thanks RUclips.
@Rotwang2013 I had a dog named Max (Maximus in full). And put him on RUclips as well. Sad that FascistTube deletes stuff. I've had comments disappear and was told a video (not of dogs) was inciting violence. SMH
What does that actually have to do with anything though? Is this a flex or something? Are you making fun of people that use video/audio as a form of education? People that like learning new things? I don't get the point of your comment...
Dog licking you: Transposed behaviour. Yes, puppies stimulate wild dog parents to regurgitate food by licking their mouths, but that interaction comes with an emotion. That emotion makes them feel happy and wanting their parents to be close and care for them. Maybe human kissing didn't start much differently, evolutionary speaking... So it definitely can and most likely WILL be an expression of affection when a dog wants to lick your face. In older wolves its a common behaviour of greeting each other after separations.
Exactly. You can also say, humans feel love because babies need to attach to their mothers to survive, or because we evolved to procreate. But that doesn’t change what love feels like experientially. So I think dogs do actually feel affection when they lick our faces.
This video on its face sounds like a money making marketing program akin to ASPA commercials on CNN which have NOTHING to do with compassion towards animals but quite the opposite.
Dogs often show affection by licking. It's an instinctive behaviour that's linked to the comfort they felt when their mother licked them as a puppy. Licking plays an important part of how they bond with others, causing them to release dopamine and endorphins that help make them feel relaxed, calm and happy.
They also lick their butts and fannies for cleanliness and like to eat the feces they buried last week, this is because they know that the maggots they ingest then are full of protein! But licking any humans' mouth is just gross and potentially dangerous too.
So.... when your dog licks you in the face .....they release dopamine and endorphins onto your face and lips ......disgusting !!!!.....and tonight you kiss your husband with that same lips........o sorry....usually women kiss their husbands less than their dogs...!!
A high fast tail wag doesn’t always mean aggression it can also mean the dog is just confident/ feeling in charge in the situation they’re in! Edit: guys don’t argue in the replies it’s so goofy I just put information out here that the the guy in the vid left out 😂
My female Jack Russell Terrier dog once saw a spot on a tree that she wanted to pee on. She couldn’t reach it. So she did unexpected… she used her muscles and lift her entire rear in the air to reach it and pee against it… She was practically peeing while doing a handstand…. I just shook my head and was like “Okay! Dogs gotta leave their mark somehow.”
One thing I'd like to mention about the myth that letting your dog win at tug shows them they're "dominant": it's actually been observed that when wild wolves play with eachother, the stronger one often lets the weaker or younger one win. So no, it's not about dominance, it's about letting both parties have fun.
I mean, also recent studies have pretty much entirely debunked the "alpha wolf" theory in Wolf Packs, and have shown that the packs act more like family units with multiple members sharing a power balance, rather than having one "alpha" leader.
@@TheOnlyGhxst wolf packs 100% have an alpha. where it goes off the rails is what humans define as alpha. the most successful alphas in both dog and chimp packs is their ability to nurture. this does not exclude a dogs ability to act as you would expect a family in terms of shared responsibility.
And probably to keep them fit, train them and build confidence. If you are a fit wolf, you want younger wolves to be fit, have some experience and confidence too, because you will hunt in pack. And when you get old, you want those younger ones to take the burden off you.
Most things are obvious if you have been raised in dog-loving family. I understand their body language naturally and never have been a target of dogs attack in my life.
That's pretty impressive. My father had a Jack Russell mix and she died at 11 years old of kidney failure and the fox terrier died almost 3 years later from cancer.
@@Mark73 there was a documentary on PBS I saw once that showed how through selective breeding they were able to have completely docile foxes from the wild within 3 or 4 litters . It was many years ago that I watched so the numbers may not be correct but it was pretty shocking how fast they were able to domesticated them
this is gonna sound weird but I swear they're just as loyal- Pet rats, captive ones don't carry diseases or anything and they basically act like mini dogs once you get to know them
I don't see how that is true.. Maybe you have a strong bond with a dog, but not all humans see it like you. I don't really get along with dogs. I don't mind them so much, but their behaviour is unpredicatable and doesn't make sense to me, so I try to avoid dogs. Also I don't like them touching me or me touching them. But I try to be nice to them, because they are animals afterall.
I’ve never had a dog wake up one day and decide it doesn’t want to be my best friend anymore. Loyal til they die. People, on the other hand, have disappointed me countless times and their loyalty stops the second they find someone else with more money than you or something stupid like that.
It would be protanopia colour-blindness if it was in humans, but it's normal for dogs, so it's*NOT* colour-blindness... for *THEM*. Most people grew up being told that dogs & cats could only see in black & white & that isn't true. Dogs see in shades of greens, yellows, browns & blue. Cats can see browns, greys, yellows & blues.
@@annaaquitaine4225 No, scientists never thought the T-Rex only sees motion lol. That’s from Jurassic park. It’s a Movie. And if you just think about it, how could an animal that only sees movement navigate in a world full of stationery objects like trees, boulders, cliffs etc. Come on guys!🤦♂ Dumber then a box of rocks.
It's amazing how many 'self proclaimed experts' pop up on RUclips making videos about 'their' opinions as if they were facts and yet so much of it is incorrect
Its alarming, blind leading the blind. So many "experts" that have 0 qualifications, just putting out garbage for clicks. Whats worse is so many follow without even questioning or researching. Dogs licking the owner is typical of affection plain and simple. Non expert opinion. My cat does the same exact thing
Oh yeah! My dog gets super excited when I come home, and she leans on me, licks me, and wags her tail like crazy. Even if I am only gone for 5 minutes.
Before I ever heard of grapes being dangerous me and my pup ate grapes every evening. Vet said grapes are like peanuts for people. Some dogs could die from 1 grapes while others can eat grapes with no problems. But why takes the chance
dogs don’t eat grass when they’re sick. I mean, they might, but just because they eat grass does not automatically mean that they’re sick. animals eat grass to help clean their digestive systems, almost like how we eat vegetables for the same reason.
My dog eats grass just… to eat grass. Ig it tastes good? He really likes green vegetables (especially spinach and kale. I grew it outside for a while and he’d chew on the plant -_-) for some reason, so he might just like the taste. He’s completely fine after. He eats it practically every time he goes outside and has been doing this for years. He just lays on the ground and starts chewing… what a weirdo.
I have a dog who uses licking as a way to vent her frustration. Whenever she feels frustrated, she goes to her sister and aggressively licks her face. I've also seen scared or nervous dogs lick their human's hand, seeking reassurance.
@CmacGaming have you tried the black Kong products? They're supposed to be as durable as dog toys can get. If you can't find anything, you may just have to give them things that are meant to be destroyed as toys
Something that worked for my dog while potty training. I know not may be different for each family, but I realized after myself trying to potty train my doggo for over a month, all it took was me taking him to my families house. They had a dog that was really well trained. While they were both outside, my dog realized their dog went outside and got praised for it. My dog smelled their dogs pee out there and realized, “Oh! Ok. I pee in the grass!” It was awesome! Like the lightbulb went in up there! Haha
Honestly, we got a dog that was already potty trained. Then it took us years to learn how to potty train a dog because she potty trained our next puppy and he grew up and potty trained the next one, and on and on.
I think the guy in the video has misconceptions too. A lot of dog researchers will tell you that dogs do lick you to kiss you too, among the other reasons listed here. Dogs love humans (in the scientific, biochemical sense), it has been proven, and about 20% of dogs get more happy to see their owner than food, so assuming they lick you for taste all the time is wrong. I get it that some people project human behavior too much in animals, but some people do the exact opposite. Dogs have evolved away from wild dogs during millenias, so to explain their behavior by comparing them to wild foxes is oversimplification at best.
yeah but they get attached to you because they know you feed them and they lick you because they're so happy to see you knowing that you can finally give them food. When I had a puppy he always licked me and followed me out of other 5 housemates because I was the only one that fed him. He didn't care about the others even though they played and spent time with him. If they wanted him to like them, they had to feed him to build that attachment. This puppy was a mix of German shepherd and Pitbull. I can't say the same for golden retrievers. These dogs are amazingly loving and friendly all the time and to everyone regardless of food.
100% this. I have two dogs that give out licks in very different ways. One will lick you at any time of the day if you kiss him or ask for kisses. He loves to show affection at any time, before or after meals, morning or night, and to anyone who will put their face next to his. He obviously licks my face if I have food on it, but that isn't why he's doing it most of the time. My other dog will only lick my face to wake me up, greet me after I have been away overnight, or when I have food on my face. She shows affection in a very different way, and she often doesn't give anyone else licks. All that to say, all dogs are different and often have very different reasons for doing things.
The issue is, human beings want to seperate animals from themselves for convenient reasons of moral consideration. But the truth is, they experiencing conconiciousnes and the same emotions we do. Anger, fear, happiness. sadness, love, hatred. All there. Humans are delusional to think those things spontaneously evolved in human beings and not in the creatures before because they are willfully stupid. Regardless, a baby could also be said to love solely for food and having their needs met. But babies grow up to be adult humans and it's easy to say adult humans have multiple motivations for their affections. Again, to attempt to divorce animals from emotional authenticity is...a convenient moral decision people often intentionally make, so they can more easily exclude animals from inclusive considerations. But they are largely no different, especially mammals and animals of a close relation to humans in structure. People who don't know much will often say more then they understand, as this clickbait video did.
Well, it turned out for me that some dogs can actually "kiss" you from time to time, if you've kissed them all the way through their childhood. They learn this is a way to show affection and mimic it. It's a very distinguishable type of licking, very short and gentle. I have only seen it in one of my dogs.
yea this dude is an idiot.. and every single one of his "busted myths" he was absolutely dead wrong about.. and clearly just likes to argue against scientific facts.
Yesss my dogs do this! Since I was (and still am) allergic to their saliva, I taught them how to do "air kisses" and they're the short little licks you're describing. I do the same thing back to them from a distance and it's adorable lmao.
First thing I did when I met my sister carried over her new lab was stick my face close, licked me up and down while furiously wagging her tail. Ever since she admits she likes me more then her live in boyfriend of some years.
When I was younger, I had two rescues and brought home a puppy. The big dogs would play tug with the pup and would frequently let her win. It was adorable to watch.
I love how the the last talking point to the video titled "the real reason your dog is trying to lick you is actually disgusting" is: "they might be trying to show you affection".
I remember watching this vid a month ago. Still do not know the true reason why dogs lick you. Thank you for going straight to the point with your title
Imagine if you were covered in fur, wild dogs are known to groom each other within their pack. To a dog this is a sign of acceptance and can also be a sign of affection… or a sign you have a bit of food on your face.
@@lgr9638You’re correct that you should watch the whole video before commenting that something isnt the video. Original commenter is also correct in that they shouldn’t title the video in a clickbait fashion, provide chapters and then purposefully not put a chapter for the one thing they put in the title.
As for dogs' mouths being cleaner than ours? No, no NO *NO!* Never let your dog lick over irritated or broken skin or an open wound! My dog was licking my leg where I had gotten a scratch from a thorn bush. I contracted an infection from her saliva, and it turned into drug-resistant cellulitis. The pain was intense, and the scarring remains, to this day, six years later. It three different kinds of antibiotic to clear it up. Needless to say, I have never allowed dogs to lick my face or broken skin ever since.
I can’t figure out why else my dog does it because no matter what I’m doing, whether sweaty or just washed, even after changing soaps several times, she wants to lick
8:53 "Myth: when dogs lick you, they're kissing you" The reason for it being disgusting is they are trying to get you to puke up your food so they can eat it. (Other reasons behind licking you include eating leftover food on your face, grooming you, or even maybe showing affection?)
My dog licks any exposed skin he can find. When a new person comes over he tries his hardest to get at least 1 lick in. He definitely does this to show affection, cause after the lick he just wants to play
@@gareth14111984 I feel like it's half the salt and half the friendly gesture. They definitely don't lick clothing like they lick skin. We have two dogs, and one licks the other's ears when they sleep together.
@@avonavians2860 no doubt on the salt thing... but she also licks the fabric of my chair, the windows, the carpets... no idea why, I think she is just odd lol
@@gareth14111984 Yeah, our dogs lick where they are lying down, even when it isn't hot. It's like the canine version of feline kneading, and I think it brings them comfort.
With the poddy accident, we dont rub their nose in it. We just tell them, "No, no bathroom in the house, go outside." And we send them out. It has actually worked very well.
I did a bit of fact checking on the licking thing you mentioned and learned the you might have became mislead... Seems like licking can be the things you mentioned but it can also be used to show affection. So thinking that it's affection isn't wrong as you suggest. It simply isn't the only reason they lick.
Ya, as puppies they might be getting you to share your dinner, but that behavior ends by one year: after that they are grooming you BECAUSE THEY ARE AFFECTIONATE. Does it directly translate to kissing, no, but it is a form of affection none the less.
@@wilfdarri noticed that when I was 13 years old with my golden retriever German Shepard mix. Any time I would come in the house and lay down shed start licking me around the face and hair then migrate around my body. Almost like she was trying to style how I looked. It was hilarious and ticklish.
I've had dogs all my life, but this recent one has changed all my ideas on how to raise a dog. Being older, I'm far more patient now, and he is the first dog that has never received a smack at some stage. The trust he has in me is phenomenal. So much that when he's accidentally done something wrong, he'll come and get me to show me and sit looking terribly remorseful rather than try to hide it. Usually it's not even a problem, perhaps he's accidentally knocked something off the coffee table. When we walk, its his time. He's free to sniff as much and as long as he wants, and I pretend I'm interested. This is like social media for dogs. And it never bothers him being put back on the lead because it makes no difference. On or off the lead, we will go to whatever he wants to check out. Show them always that they are important to you, that their place in the pack is important, they will cherish their place and take responsibility. I'm fortunate that my dog can be with me 24/7, and it's the only way. I talk to him just as I do everyone else, explaining what I'm doing, etc. By doing this his understanding of language is incredible. He doesn't understand word for word, but enough to comprehend whats going on and what I'm asking him to do. Imagine living in a foreign country, you will pick up the language just through repetition. Another I discovered is, he used to hate baths, and now he loves them. For any pack animal, being singled out of the pack makes you vulnerable, and in the wild, it may mean your life. When he gets singled out for a bath, his instincts come in. One day I noticed he watched me in the shower, so I decided we'd do it together, as a pack. I wash him first (hand held shower) and he groans and makes noises all through to show his enjoyment, then I let him out and do myself. And now, he can't get in there fast enough. He loves it as a pack activity. And if the water goes cold, he reacts just like a human except with a volley of barks (which is quite funny). Dogs are primarily a bundle of love on 4 legs. Security, love, warmth and food is all they really want in return. Win your dog's trust and he/she will reward you in spades.
Damn, we might be related. Totally know what you mean. I lost my perfect dog 2 yrs. ago @ 10. Went everywhere w me, including work. I never spanked him, not once. I'll never have another one like him again. I'm so thankful to have had him. Glad you're experiencing the same rn.
@@jamesolson7179because it’s a form of discipline. Most older people were raised when physical punishment was what the received so that’s the type they use regardless if it’s a human being or animal.
Fun Fact: You can get worms(parasites) from your dog when they lick your mouth. The same goes for cats and literally any other animal that cleans their butt.
If you allow your dogs to lick the inside of your mouth… you are very much the problem and deserve every ounce of the Parasite coming from your pet with your nasty selves
My doggo clearly licks my face out of affection. She can tell I don't like it when she tries to lick my mouth, so she'll lick my nose and typically only does it either after I have smothered her in kisses or if I'm clearly down or sad. She's a very good girl.
Yes, if a wild animal is licking its mothers mouth when that is where they are fed from then they just want food so unless the experts have been vomiting on their dog it is extremely unlikely, especially when dogs dont get fed like that as pups
@@n3kochu You may be familiar with Yahshua as Jesus. Among other things, He was born to a virgin, turned water into wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, cast out demons, walked on water, calmed the storm, and twice fed a crowd of thousands with just a few fish and a few loaves of bread. To atone for the sins of the entire human race, He died on the cross and rose from the grave three days later. In heaven, where He now resides at the right hand of the Father, He ascension took place forty days later. The devil, Satan, will appear before Jesus/God returns, according to 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 and Revelation 2:10. Satan will pretend to be Jesus/God before Jesus returns, which will happen very soon. Being an angel, Satan will have some supernatural abilities that he will use to try to deceive everyone. For instance, he'll be able to appear to the human eye as if fire were to fall from the sky. We will all simultaneously change into our spiritual bodies when the real Jesus appears. Jesus took on human form to give anyone who repents and invokes His holy name forgiveness of sins and eternal life! As Jesus was eating dinner in Simon the leper's home in Bethany, a woman carrying an alabaster box of extremely valuable ointment approached him and poured it on his head. But when his disciples saw it, they were furious and asked, "For what purpose is this waste? " because the ointment could have been sold for a lot of money and given to the needy. When Jesus realized what had happened, he told them not to trouble the woman because she had done good things for him. "In contrast to me, who you do not always have, the poor are always with you. Because she did it for my burial when she applied this ointment to my body. Where ever the gospel is preached, let what this woman has done be told in her memory.
I had a lot of dogs. If they go inside, you bring them close to the accident,firmly say, "no", then bring them to where they're supposed to go and pet and encourage them there. And if they have an accident in the house because they're sick or you didn't make it home on time, they don't get in trouble for it. Just clean it up and bring them out.
Had a chihuahua who regularly curled up in my lap for a nap, but right after settling in she'd pop her head up, give my arm one last lick, and then fall asleep. Now that definitely seems like a kiss.
Every time I give my dog food or water she licks my arm, just once before she chows down..as if to say "thank you". Can't tell me they don't use licking as another way to show affection or communication. They absolutely do
@@johannesstephanusroos4969 Good point! I've had other anxious dogs, but this one never seemed like a nervous wreck. Just loaded with personality, which might have masked it. We learned everything we could about the breed so we could avert some of those nervous traits when she was a puppy.
Fun Fact: in some areas, crows and wolves team up and are even friends. Certain individual crows have been observed playing with pup while the adults where close by and allowed it. If crows find a herd of elk or other other prey, they’ll call for their wolf pack. After the wolves make a kill, the crows are allowed a portion as well. They will even call if they find coyotes or other wolves in the territory. Even if the wolves lose track of the other wolves/coyotes, the crows will show their pack where to go by flying over the target and call. Some crows have a favorite or vice versa. So either crows are domesticating wolves or wolves are domesticating crows. It’s really interesting and there’s a few videos about it on RUclips.
*know more about THEIR dog. The knowledge doesn’t usually go universally to other types of dogs. That’s why you see dog owners who only ever had shorthairs complaining about a husky owner who lets their dog spend long periods in the snow. Dogs as a category are subject to statistics the same way people are, “most people prefer autumn” is statistically true but if you assumed your coworker Beth’s favorite season is fall just because you heard that fact you might be assuming wrong. If you asked Beth’s loved ones who know her best they’ll probably be more reliable than the statistics. Same as the dog owner would know their dog’s behavior better than a scientist doing a broad study.
This video has the same energy as a "doctor" who just barely got their degree in Psychology attempting to describe sociopathy, congrats on giving me a VERY hearty laugh.
Our Sheltie lived to be 20 years old, no special diets, nothing. Most of the time he preferred life outside in his dog house. Only during the last year or so of his life did he like coming inside. Our first dog lived to be apx 18 years old. She loved chocolate chip cookies and ate tons of them. :) There were no vets where we lived so when she got hit by a car, we took her to a local doctor who patched her up. We brought her home, changed the bandages every day, cleaning the wound with hydrogen peroxide for a month or so and she was just like new. Our first dog stayed close to home and followed me everywhere. We didn't have leashes for them. Our second dog would go where he liked when he wanted. He'd follow a neighbour on his snowmobile down miles into the woods and the neighbour sometimes gave him a ride back, or the dog would simply follow him. He'd also visit other neighbours for treats. There were only 150 people in our community so people looked out for most of the furry little adventurers. It was a great place to grow up with dogs. They had their own little lives and while we were at school, they were out doing their thing. When we got back, they'd be there to run around with us. Haven't lived in a place since where I would own a dog because no freedom or wide open spaces for them to roam. :)
Mine lived to be 18 and if it wasn't for the cold climate I lived in, she probably would have lived longer. She still had all her teeth too because I gave her biscuits for snacks, safe bones to chew on, and brushed her teeth. Her favorite treat was Beef jerky treats. It was journey as dogs appear to go through same stages as humans including old age, depression, teenage rebellion, and parental (extra comforting and protective of me) like stage. It's really something to experience. That's why I implore everyone who wants a dog to please consider all that. They are not toys for the kids to keep them busy or only serve you during a crisis like Covid. They become part of your family and expect to be with you for a long time like a child does.
"my dog licks me way more than my wife does" reminds me of an old joke about who loves you more your dog or your wife.. Lock both in a trunk for an hour and see who's happy to see you when you let them out 😂😂
@@HuntingViolets not to mention what you said doesn't even make any sense. So you're saying dogs will put up with abuse but women won't?? When we all know there are women who put up with that nonsense everywhere and dogs that will turn on an abusive owner, which I'm glad happens.. I was raised by women and I love animals but I can make this joke comfortably bc I know it's JUST A JOKE.. This country is going down the tubes and it's got a lot to do with people that think like you do
@@Ubermensch201 The joke is predicated on the dog being happy to see you despite the abuse and the woman not being and that being happy to see you after being abused is a measure of love. Yes, women also get trapped in abuse and a dog might turn on someone abusive, but I engaged with the joke as you told it. I didn't write the joke; that doesn't mean it can't be analyzed or responded to. It's kind of extreme to think that someone responding to a joke is responsible for anything going down the tubes. If you can be comfortable with a joke, being comfortable with a response to it shouldn't be a stretch.
Am i the only one who likes the jokes and writes about them? it has become so easy to hurt someones feelings these days. I can still see them as jokes, like in the old days.
5:40 What you told about the scientist changing their minds about the hierarchy of wolf-packs is only partly true: They didn't completely changed their minds, they just realized that their original concept applies only those wolves that were captured (living in a zoo for example) and it does not apply to the wolves living free in the nature.
@@straightforward5724 No, they've watched wolves in Yellowstone very closely now. He's right, they don't dominate each other, but they do lead, and in a nation where parents are so obviously derelict in their leadership, I think it's important to point out that you need to take an active leadership position in your family, especially where it pertains to dogs.
More research needs to be done. Please!! The study about dogs and dominance was done using lone wolves. It’s not scientifically accurate and the dr has said so himself. Anyone with eyes and a brain can watch dogs together and see that dominance is a real thing. Ugh.
I don't think many well-known respected dog trainers use aggression and punishment as their sole means of training. Generally they use a behaviour approach and depending on what type of dog or training they use appropriate clear communication and reward
My dog always goes on a crazy licking session after she’s had a meal. Pups in a litter groom each other after they are fed, so I think that’s mostly what’s going on with her.
Alot is shown by licking. Dogs lick paws alot if they have allergies, could have something internally wrong, times a dog's breath is bad could mean internal problems also, or bad teeth, dogs can't eat dry crunchy if teeth hurt so lose, or infection so watch for that, a person known to spank, yell or make dogs go hungry, if not aerating food st before them, old dogs need soft especially if lost teeth or tooth pain. So check things before punishing dog for not eating given food. LOVE YOUR PRECIOUS CANINE FRIENDS, most loyal you'll ever have! ❤❤
For years I didn’t let my dog lick me, until I read that it lowers their pulse when they do much like us petting them lowers ours. Most places are still a no go on the licking, but he’s now allowed a few places just in case ❤
I once tripped and fell on a sidewalk dropping the leashes of my two dogs in the process. Worried that they would run off, I looked up from the ground immediately, only to get a pair of sympathetic licks on the face from my concerned dogs.
I am 72 and am teaching my dog to come running to me if I fall. I give the command "help," and she stands on my right side and holds her body stiff and lets me use her back to gain my balance and get up. What a good dog!
I've seen dogs lick each others buttholes, and some even love to eat fox poop. And those owners are letting their dogs lick the inside of their mouth...
One thing I noticed about the Summer shaves on dogs is that while you did it to keep them cool outside when they're inside they are REALLY cold. See, in Texas where I live, Summer outside means winter inside. If your dog is gonna be spending time inside the house, it's nice to let them keep their warmth!
As per dogs average age, my mother had a dachshund that lived 24 years and didn't have back problems but did get completely gray hair. The dog was fit and loved to go to the marina with her, it would run along to the stern and leap out over the water, then swim back under the dock to land, get out and run down the dock to the sailboat, jump aboard and runny off the back again. It died in its sleep one night, seemingly peacefully. Everyone, our family and at the marina missed Winnie and they threw a hell of a wake in his honor (yachties, any excuse for a party). Note that some say never feed table scraps, Winnie wasn't allowed to beg at the table but Mom always let him have any protein that was left over
@@Littlewing6was9 funny you should say that, the same was mentioned a few times down through the years. And another funny, when I lived aboard in Marina Del Rey (California) I had a seal decide my boat was the best place to live too. Later I moved to King Harbor anchorage and it wouldn't be shooed off and made the trip and continued to live there in the new marina. I sold the boat in 1978 and moved back to Texas I always wondered what the new owners and the marina did about that "livaboard"
Commercial dog food is a fairly recent development in the long history of domesticated dogs. I often wonder if there is a connection between commercial dogfood and the diseases, that were non- existent or rare in canines, becoming much more frequent.
@user-qo3yy9nv1u You can not believe it if you so choose, but it is a fact. Just takes a little bit of research to find out that dogs and people have different bacteria in their mouths and that there mouths are actually not cleaner than people's.
I once had a dog that was allergic to fleas. It was the Vets suggestion to take clippers and remove the hair from him and he loved it. The rash healed after we started doing that. We only buzzed him 1 time a year so he would have his coat for when winter came.
I have St. Bernards. They get shaved in the summer. It is very important to shave with the grain of the fur so the top hair is always longer than the base layer. They are so much happier when I shave them when it's warm out. They drule less, move more and more easily. I'm able to find ticks faster and get them off, and i can get burrs and fox trails off them before they become a problem.
I have a mastweiler and she has always raised her leg when having a wee! She very rarely squats and she also likes eating grass and never vomits afterwards, I think she just likes the taste! She never licks your face either only your hands or arms when giving her lots of chest rubs, she just does her and my other dog is always giving kisses and never eats grass, he also squats more than raises his leg when he wees and he's a male dog!?! I guess each dog is just an individual same as people are and they have their own preferance with things!
A dog will lick you, once or twice, to say "Thank you". If you pay attention to what your dog does, after you pet/scratch him, or give him a treat, and he doesn't slobber, but just licks the back of your hand or elsewhere only once or twice, he may be saying Thank you. After watching for a few days, you should see the pattern...
Paying attention to your pet or "different species housemate" is just generally a good idea in all cases. They're not trying to be mysterious. The more you pay attention, the smarter you'll think your pet is. And the smarter they'll think you are.... 😉😁
My dog licks me so passionately, closing his eyes and tilting his head, it’s really weird at times but I think he may be a reincarnated past life French lover, since he does this whenever I am crying not eating 😂
I had a problem with two large neighbor's dogs. For whatever reason, they would bark for hours at night. I had to go to work at 7 AM. Finally one night at about 1 AM and I had enough. I ran up the fence between us and yelled shut up you SOBs. They immediately got quite. After that they were no problem. In fact whenever, I would be out doing yard work, they would come to the fence and looked really calm and happy. The only thing that makes sense is they had accepted me as their leader. Another incident occurred a few weeks later. A free running dog was standing in the middle of the road in front of the neighbor's house barking at the neighbor's dogs. They weren't really responding. Again this was in the middle of the night. I went up to the road a yelled at this other dog. When I did that, one of the neighbor's dogs took off and chased the strange dog away. They really just wanted someone to be boss which apparently their owners weren't really doing. I never thought I would get that kind of reaction. 😊
My dog has been eating grass every time I take him out to the field. But he’ll usually stop and just run around everywhere I don’t think he is sick he seems just healthy.
@@janeblogs324 Unfortunately grass could be catastrophic for dogs if snails or slugs are close, they leave parasite infested slime wherever they travel, such as Lungworm and you don't want your dog ingesting that.
I googled it, and it said: licking is a natural and instinctive behaviour for dogs. For then it’s a way of: grooming,bonding,and expressing themselves. Your dog may lick you to say they love you, to get attention, to help soothe themselves if they’re stressed! To show you empathy or because you taste good to them!
I can tell you with 100% authority that Google does not know everything. Google can link you to everyone in the world who claims to be a dog expert, from the global veterinary expert to your 10-year-old neighbor who just got a puppy!
@@Banichi04 Ha ha google convinced me I had cancer..a brain tumour…Parkinson’s and liver disease…that was 10 yrs ago and I had none of those diseases….
Also if you cry, dogs aren't actually trying to comfort you by licking you....they think your tears are delicious.."mhhmmm your pain is my salty drink"
@@animeloveer97 Exactly. My previous and current dog were/are Greyhound-mixes, both of them not licky at all (unless I have freshly applied body lotion, fresh sweat or something equally interesting on my skin). Maybe the breed plays a factor too, Greyhounds are often quite "polite". ;)
Same as some people aren't "huggy" people, some dogs aren't licky dogs. Of my three dogs I have one that almost never licks and one that is borderline OCD about licking. They're all different.
One question unanswered here: why do dogs (especially female dogs) eat poop? Mine does it all the time when we're out on a walk, unless I can pull her away quickly enough. It is truly disgusting -- and makes me glad that my dog is not a face-licker!
It could be they are deficient in nutrients. I know female dogs clean their pups backsides all the time. It just an instinct. Maybe they bring that instinct to other animals 😬
They do it instinctively to stop predators from stalking them. In some other dogs, it's because they've been punished in the past for pooping in inappropriate places and are like trying to hide the evidence
I've heard a few, but take with a grain of salt I think the last one has the most truth to it that I've heard so far. Shepherd dogs (like GSD's and the like) eat poop to prevent them and herds from being as easily found by predator's and bred into instinct pretty much, nutritional value still in them/to their noses it still smells like the food they ate before, or instinct to keep home/den clean and hidden from predators which is why they eat puppy poop and the like.
I've worked with dogs for over fifty years. In that process, I've been bitten nine times. Always dogs with owners who believe its OK to let them lead on walks, win at tug-or-war and display aggressive behavior including staring, eye level, certain types of marking and being first to pass through narrow openings.
Hmm. Okay. Since I don't have the experience you do, correct me if I'm wrong but don't most dogs bite out of fear???? I'm with my 3rd GSD now, best temperament I've ever had BUT we've had too address some really rotten ( not caught early enough - my fault) behaviours ( progress IS being made) I've focused a lot on socializing him so that he gets a long with other dogs and people and situations. The behaviours ( jumping and nipping) are taking longer to eradicate.....................but every day is training..................
As someone who's had dogs since he was little, I can say that a lot of this is common sense. Not everyone knows this though. I've raised wolf hybrids too. Though there are similarities, hybrids can be different at times. They're all fur babies. It all has to do knowing your animal.
Knowing their animals is something SURPRISINGLY, so many people don't do, it's crazy! People don't give animal credit for being able to understand or communicate their needs sentiments, fears, likes, dislikes, etc. Almost seems as the animals are arter than we humans, coz people don't try to teach, or discipline, they PUNISH BAD ACTS, and don't reward good.
@@sandyreidle5584 your take is wrong. animals punish pretty harsh like biting and scratching. thats how they socialise. humans do not punish at all nowadays especially in the west. and instead of rewarding good, every shit is rewarded.
Dogs watching this video: Did he just say we can't eat bones? We've been eating bones for millions of years before this 2-legged hairless chimp's entire genetic branch existed.
It could be both, some of our ancestors likely ate things that were risky to eat and survived doesn’t mean it is necessarily harmful or harmless. There is merely a risk factor associated with certain things.
Millions of years before humans? Dogs are a new species invented by humans roughly at the time we started making tools. We forced docile wolf packs to start inbreeding which made them smaller and more manageable. Most livestock like sheep and cattle are also man-made mutants designed against the natural order to suit our needs and force their dependency. If humans go extinct before all other animals, domestic animals will also go extinct and devolve.
For dogs eating grass be careful the grass isn't sprayed with a pesticide or something. Ive been told that dogs also eat grass being they're missing something in their nutrients.
@. Misty 1 Cats also eat grass--when they have digestive problems. Not safe for animals to eat grass outdoors. They probably have a Co that sells "grow it inside" grass for pets. I grew catnip for my cat--he hated catnip! I never had a cat who had no interest in catnip before! I "donated" that catnip to a friend for HER cat.
This video perpetuates a few myths too. You may want to make a follow-up with new information. 1) You say dogs descend from wolves. False. Just a long-held assumption. DNA has proven this a myth. Domestic dogs descend from un-domesticated dogs. Wolves - just their cousins. This mysterious species split off from wolves approx 30,000 to 40,000 years ago, and became it's own thing. Just like polar bears are not black or brown - but their own thing. (More fossils and genetic testing needed to clarify if there was a single, or several varieties of extinct "wolves" (or pre-dogs?) that were ancestral to dogs. For now, we can (loosely) call pre-Domestic dogs "wolves" but it's more accurate to say "extinct, distinct, wolf-like canines." What is clear: 2) The ancestor of dogs - are all extinct. So analyzing modern wolf behavior, trying to explain dog behavior - is "barking up the wrong tree." The lineage tree. Wolves may have a little bit in common with dogs behaviorally - but that is simply because there are no pure-breed wolves anymore. All wolves have some dog DNA. Wolves have been hanging around our campsites smelling them in heat and feeling "the call of the wild" for a long time. In fact, the gene for a black coat is not present in wolf DNA. All black wolves are exhibiting hybridization. There are huge differences in dog behavior vs wolf. Grizzlies are mostly herbivorous. Lean in creeks to get salmon. Polar bears swim in the ocean, mauling walrus and seals. Pandas - also a bear. Quite distinct. Similar is not "the same." 3) Also, the "idea alpha wolves" is not abandoned. Many experts believe only the ALPHA MALE wolf is a myth. The lead female - is the decider. The leader. The smartest. She's followed because of her hunting/location knowledge. She chooses the strongest male - as her enforcer. Brain + brawn = strongest pups. Wolf packs - if a family - is a hardcore, metal family. SHE DOES NOT allow the other females to breed. They obey - or get punished. After talking to real mountain men, hunters, natives, and seeing older documentaries when they were still real - the brutality of wolfpack life is hard to beat. Omega wolves - are dinner in lean times. The pack does not have tolerance for the weak, or cowardly hunters. Family. You could say a lion pride is a "family." Yeah. One where infanticide is normal. Wolf species went almost universally extinct. Grey Wolves are an example of surviving - via savage behavior. Compared to wolves - ancestral dogs were downright kind. They were team-players. Tender-hearted. Self-sacrificial. Eager to cooperate; but losers. Dying out. You could say we "domesticated" them - but we really just saved them. And they probably saved us from extinction too.
Came here expecting not to see particularly good information. Saw a bunch of science-backed stuff that was actually good. Yes, dogs need mental and stimulation and not just physical exhaustion. Yes, positive reinforcement works way better than negative reinforcement for dog training. The use of enzymatic cleaner when your dog goes in the house and praise when your dog goes outside really is the best route to take. Thanks for putting good information out there. There's a paucity of it on the internet.
My dog doesn't just eat grass. She particularly likes to go to the edge of puddles at the park, so she can more easily rip it out of the ground _with_ the roots. Moreover, I often joke that she has _two_ urinary bladders; one for processing liquid waste and one for leaving _greeting cards_ in all the other neighborhood dogs' yards, sometimes with _literally_ just a couple of drops.

That doesn't mean I can't see any colors, it literally means having trouble distinguishing between certain colors. Dogs are color blind

Bruh my dog ate a whole bar of chocolate and we immediately rushed to the vet. He checked his health and said: “Well, your dog likes chocolate -and tolerates it. He’s fine.” Then he looked at my dog and my dog looked at him. Both were confused, that was so funny. Then I took him home and now I changed his name to Choco.
Loved it😂
Generic abnormality? Only way to explain how your dog's stomach could handle chocolate
Yes chocolate is bad for your dog, what they don't tell you is he'd have to eat about 4 or 5 chocolate bars to do damage!
We used to feed our pomeranian full reeses peanut butter cups. I've seen other dogs get a hold of chocolate cakes etc and literally nothing happened to any of them. Trust me, the chocolate thing is way over exaggerated. If anything you're harming your dog psychologically by not sharing a tiny bite of chocolate with it.

I'm glad I learned about raising dogs successfully way before RUclips existed.
I remember when I first loaded a RUclips video. It was in 2008. The content was my old Dog Max, at about three months old, playfully pulling a Poodles tail at the dog park. The owner was laughing and having a great time. The tail pulling was a response from poodle attempting to mount him. So I uploaded the video and it went viral and after 5k likes RUclips deleted it. Thanks RUclips.

I had a dog named Max (Maximus in full). And put him on RUclips as well.

Dog licking you: Transposed behaviour. Yes, puppies stimulate wild dog parents to regurgitate food by licking their mouths, but that interaction comes with an emotion. That emotion makes them feel happy and wanting their parents to be close and care for them. Maybe human kissing didn't start much differently, evolutionary speaking... So it definitely can and most likely WILL be an expression of affection when a dog wants to lick your face. In older wolves its a common behaviour of greeting each other after separations.
yeah i dont understand why they think dogs licking isn't affection 🤦♀ , i feel its common sense tbh
Like cats kneeding you.
Seriously I used to think the were trying to make me a different shape. They would kneed me so long
Exactly. You can also say, humans feel love because babies need to attach to their mothers to survive, or because we evolved to procreate. But that doesn’t change what love feels like experientially. So I think dogs do actually feel affection when they lick our faces.
This video on its face sounds like a money making marketing program akin to ASPA commercials on CNN which have NOTHING to do with compassion towards animals but quite the opposite.
@@lizcollinson2692 Cats knead because it reminds them of when they were kittens while they were nursing. The kneading stimulates lactation.
Dogs often show affection by licking. It's an instinctive behaviour that's linked to the comfort they felt when their mother licked them as a puppy. Licking plays an important part of how they bond with others, causing them to release dopamine and endorphins that help make them feel relaxed, calm and happy.
so... it's not the "disgusting" reason the title says?
They also lick their butts and fannies for cleanliness and like to eat the feces they buried last week, this is because they know that the maggots they ingest then are full of protein! But licking any humans' mouth is just gross and potentially dangerous too.
This sounds made up but I still like it.

One thing I'd like to mention about the myth that letting your dog win at tug shows them they're "dominant": it's actually been observed that when wild wolves play with eachother, the stronger one often lets the weaker or younger one win. So no, it's not about dominance, it's about letting both parties have fun.
I mean, also recent studies have pretty much entirely debunked the "alpha wolf" theory in Wolf Packs, and have shown that the packs act more like family units with multiple members sharing a power balance, rather than having one "alpha" leader.
@@TheOnlyGhxst wolf packs 100% have an alpha. where it goes off the rails is what humans define as alpha. the most successful alphas in both dog and chimp packs is their ability to nurture. this does not exclude a dogs ability to act as you would expect a family in terms of shared responsibility.
And probably to keep them fit, train them and build confidence. If you are a fit wolf, you want younger wolves to be fit, have some experience and confidence too, because you will hunt in pack. And when you get old, you want those younger ones to take the burden off you.
@@TheOnlyGhxst Also recent studies have pretty much proven that a male wolf can now decide to be a female wolf and vice versa.

The dog's exact motive for face licking is different from what a person would think, but the general sentiment is still the same.
It still amazes me how much dogs understand humans & how well we get along with them. If there ever was a more loyal best friend, I've never met one.
We made them. We put some of ourselves into them through the millennia.
@@Mark73 there was a documentary on PBS I saw once that showed how through selective breeding they were able to have completely docile foxes from the wild within 3 or 4 litters . It was many years ago that I watched so the numbers may not be correct but it was pretty shocking how fast they were able to domesticated them
this is gonna sound weird but I swear they're just as loyal- Pet rats, captive ones don't carry diseases or anything and they basically act like mini dogs once you get to know them
I don't see how that is true.. Maybe you have a strong bond with a dog, but not all humans see it like you. I don't really get along with dogs. I don't mind them so much, but their behaviour is unpredicatable and doesn't make sense to me, so I try to avoid dogs. Also I don't like them touching me or me touching them. But I try to be nice to them, because they are animals afterall.
I’ve never had a dog wake up one day and decide it doesn’t want to be my best friend anymore. Loyal til they die. People, on the other hand, have disappointed me countless times and their loyalty stops the second they find someone else with more money than you or something stupid like that.

I think the guy in the video has misconceptions too. A lot of dog researchers will tell you that dogs do lick you to kiss you too, among the other reasons listed here. Dogs love humans (in the scientific, biochemical sense), it has been proven, and about 20% of dogs get more happy to see their owner than food, so assuming they lick you for taste all the time is wrong.
I get it that some people project human behavior too much in animals, but some people do the exact opposite. Dogs have evolved away from wild dogs during millenias, so to explain their behavior by comparing them to wild foxes is oversimplification at best.
yeah but they get attached to you because they know you feed them and they lick you because they're so happy to see you knowing that you can finally give them food. When I had a puppy he always licked me and followed me out of other 5 housemates because I was the only one that fed him. He didn't care about the others even though they played and spent time with him. If they wanted him to like them, they had to feed him to build that attachment. This puppy was a mix of German shepherd and Pitbull. I can't say the same for golden retrievers. These dogs are amazingly loving and friendly all the time and to everyone regardless of food.
100% this. I have two dogs that give out licks in very different ways. One will lick you at any time of the day if you kiss him or ask for kisses. He loves to show affection at any time, before or after meals, morning or night, and to anyone who will put their face next to his. He obviously licks my face if I have food on it, but that isn't why he's doing it most of the time. My other dog will only lick my face to wake me up, greet me after I have been away overnight, or when I have food on my face. She shows affection in a very different way, and she often doesn't give anyone else licks.
All that to say, all dogs are different and often have very different reasons for doing things.
Exactly
He is kidding himself the poor fella 🤣 I don't know what told him all that nonsense
The issue is, human beings want to seperate animals from themselves for convenient reasons of moral consideration. But the truth is, they experiencing conconiciousnes and the same emotions we do. Anger, fear, happiness. sadness, love, hatred. All there. Humans are delusional to think those things spontaneously evolved in human beings and not in the creatures before because they are willfully stupid.
Regardless, a baby could also be said to love solely for food and having their needs met. But babies grow up to be adult humans and it's easy to say adult humans have multiple motivations for their affections. Again, to attempt to divorce animals from emotional authenticity is...a convenient moral decision people often intentionally make, so they can more easily exclude animals from inclusive considerations.
But they are largely no different, especially mammals and animals of a close relation to humans in structure.
People who don't know much will often say more then they understand, as this clickbait video did.
Well, it turned out for me that some dogs can actually "kiss" you from time to time, if you've kissed them all the way through their childhood. They learn this is a way to show affection and mimic it. It's a very distinguishable type of licking, very short and gentle. I have only seen it in one of my dogs.
yea this dude is an idiot.. and every single one of his "busted myths" he was absolutely dead wrong about.. and clearly just likes to argue against scientific facts.
Yesss my dogs do this! Since I was (and still am) allergic to their saliva, I taught them how to do "air kisses" and they're the short little licks you're describing. I do the same thing back to them from a distance and it's adorable lmao.
First thing I did when I met my sister carried over her new lab was stick my face close, licked me up and down while furiously wagging her tail. Ever since she admits she likes me more then her live in boyfriend of some years.
Disgusting 🤢. Dogs eat trash. You’re kissing trash 😢
@@docsavage4921 Probably because you have a similar scent / body odor.
When I was younger, I had two rescues and brought home a puppy. The big dogs would play tug with the pup and would frequently let her win. It was adorable to watch.
That’s so cute! How nice of them
I had a dog who ate grass all the time and threw it up afterwards.

Imagine if you were covered in fur, wild dogs are known to groom each other within their pack. To a dog this is a sign of acceptance and can also be a sign of affection… or a sign you have a bit of food on your face.

As for dogs' mouths being cleaner than ours? No, no NO *NO!* Never let your dog lick over irritated or broken skin or an open wound! My dog was licking my leg where I had gotten a scratch from a thorn bush. I contracted an infection from her saliva, and it turned into drug-resistant cellulitis. The pain was intense, and the scarring remains, to this day, six years later. It three different kinds of antibiotic to clear it up.
Needless to say, I have never allowed dogs to lick my face or broken skin ever since.
I'm glad you recovered from that.
Dogs litterally eat shit..idk why people would let their mouths anywhere near their faces or wounds.
Also parodontitis often comes from pets lick
That must have been terrifying. I'm glad you’re OK now!

The reason for it being disgusting is they are trying to get you to puke up your food so they can eat it. (Other reasons behind licking you include eating leftover food on your face, grooming you, or even maybe showing affection?)

My Collie is the same....

My dog used to lick clothes or skin, just generally the person. Maybe taste or affection.
With the poddy accident, we dont rub their nose in it. We just tell them, "No, no bathroom in the house, go outside." And we send them out. It has actually worked very well.
I did a bit of fact checking on the licking thing you mentioned and learned the you might have became mislead... Seems like licking can be the things you mentioned but it can also be used to show affection. So thinking that it's affection isn't wrong as you suggest. It simply isn't the only reason they lick.
Wow!!! Thank you for sharing 🌹, hope you have pets?
Ya, as puppies they might be getting you to share your dinner, but that behavior ends by one year: after that they are grooming you BECAUSE THEY ARE AFFECTIONATE. Does it directly translate to kissing, no, but it is a form of affection none the less.
@@wilfdarri noticed that when I was 13 years old with my golden retriever German Shepard mix. Any time I would come in the house and lay down shed start licking me around the face and hair then migrate around my body. Almost like she was trying to style how I looked. It was hilarious and ticklish.
Who wants an animal licking their mouth. Y’all gross
i did not see about licking here except at 00:03 . is there?
I've had dogs all my life, but this recent one has changed all my ideas on how to raise a dog. Being older, I'm far more patient now, and he is the first dog that has never received a smack at some stage. The trust he has in me is phenomenal. So much that when he's accidentally done something wrong, he'll come and get me to show me and sit looking terribly remorseful rather than try to hide it. Usually it's not even a problem, perhaps he's accidentally knocked something off the coffee table. When we walk, its his time. He's free to sniff as much and as long as he wants, and I pretend I'm interested. This is like social media for dogs. And it never bothers him being put back on the lead because it makes no difference. On or off the lead, we will go to whatever he wants to check out. Show them always that they are important to you, that their place in the pack is important, they will cherish their place and take responsibility. I'm fortunate that my dog can be with me 24/7, and it's the only way. I talk to him just as I do everyone else, explaining what I'm doing, etc. By doing this his understanding of language is incredible. He doesn't understand word for word, but enough to comprehend whats going on and what I'm asking him to do. Imagine living in a foreign country, you will pick up the language just through repetition. Another I discovered is, he used to hate baths, and now he loves them. For any pack animal, being singled out of the pack makes you vulnerable, and in the wild, it may mean your life. When he gets singled out for a bath, his instincts come in. One day I noticed he watched me in the shower, so I decided we'd do it together, as a pack. I wash him first (hand held shower) and he groans and makes noises all through to show his enjoyment, then I let him out and do myself. And now, he can't get in there fast enough. He loves it as a pack activity. And if the water goes cold, he reacts just like a human except with a volley of barks (which is quite funny). Dogs are primarily a bundle of love on 4 legs. Security, love, warmth and food is all they really want in return. Win your dog's trust and he/she will reward you in spades.
Damn, we might be related. Totally know what you mean. I lost my perfect dog 2 yrs. ago @ 10. Went everywhere w me, including work. I never spanked him, not once. I'll never have another one like him again. I'm so thankful to have had him. Glad you're experiencing the same rn.

Fun Fact: You can get worms(parasites) from your dog when they lick your mouth. The same goes for cats and literally any other animal that cleans their butt.
And cats can transmit the dreaded and often toxicoplasmosis when they eat wild rodents.

My dog chews Redman Tobacco, so no worms.
My doggo clearly licks my face out of affection. She can tell I don't like it when she tries to lick my mouth, so she'll lick my nose and typically only does it either after I have smothered her in kisses or if I'm clearly down or sad. She's a very good girl.
Seriously. This is obvious. My dog is not looking for me to vomit. They do it right after i have shown them affection or given them treats
My dog licks me whenever I come home and gets excited and jumps up on me lol
Am i the only one who watches these dog videos and sometimes think the “experts” dont know wth they are talking about? Lol
Yes, if a wild animal is licking its mothers mouth when that is where they are fed from then they just want food so unless the experts have been vomiting on their dog it is extremely unlikely, especially when dogs dont get fed like that as pups
@@n3kochu You may be familiar with Yahshua as Jesus. Among other things, He was born to a virgin, turned water into wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, cast out demons, walked on water, calmed the storm, and twice fed a crowd of thousands with just a few fish and a few loaves of bread. To atone for the sins of the entire human race, He died on the cross and rose from the grave three days later. In heaven, where He now resides at the right hand of the Father, He ascension took place forty days later. The devil, Satan, will appear before Jesus/God returns, according to 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 and Revelation 2:10. Satan will pretend to be Jesus/God before Jesus returns, which will happen very soon. Being an angel, Satan will have some supernatural abilities that he will use to try to deceive everyone. For instance, he'll be able to appear to the human eye as if fire were to fall from the sky. We will all simultaneously change into our spiritual bodies when the real Jesus appears. Jesus took on human form to give anyone who repents and invokes His holy name forgiveness of sins and eternal life!
As Jesus was eating dinner in Simon the leper's home in Bethany, a woman carrying an alabaster box of extremely valuable ointment approached him and poured it on his head. But when his disciples saw it, they were furious and asked, "For what purpose is this waste? " because the ointment could have been sold for a lot of money and given to the needy. When Jesus realized what had happened, he told them not to trouble the woman because she had done good things for him. "In contrast to me, who you do not always have, the poor are always with you. Because she did it for my burial when she applied this ointment to my body. Where ever the gospel is preached, let what this woman has done be told in her memory.
The thing with tail wagging is that if you really know your dog and that comes with time you start to see it when your dog is happy.
I had a lot of dogs. If they go inside, you bring them close to the accident,firmly say, "no", then bring them to where they're supposed to go and pet and encourage them there. And if they have an accident in the house because they're sick or you didn't make it home on time, they don't get in trouble for it. Just clean it up and bring them out.

Had a chihuahua who regularly curled up in my lap for a nap, but right after settling in she'd pop her head up, give my arm one last lick, and then fall asleep. Now that definitely seems like a kiss.
Every time I give my dog food or water she licks my arm, just once before she chows down..as if to say "thank you". Can't tell me they don't use licking as another way to show affection or communication. They absolutely do
That's a soothing ritual, chihuahuas are anxious little things
@@johannesstephanusroos4969 Good point! I've had other anxious dogs, but this one never seemed like a nervous wreck. Just loaded with personality, which might have masked it. We learned everything we could about the breed so we could avert some of those nervous traits when she was a puppy.

Nothing that licks it balls and butt will ever lick my face sorry puppy. 🙀 And kitty's.
Fun Fact: in some areas, crows and wolves team up and are even friends. Certain individual crows have been observed playing with pup while the adults where close by and allowed it. If crows find a herd of elk or other other prey, they’ll call for their wolf pack. After the wolves make a kill, the crows are allowed a portion as well. They will even call if they find coyotes or other wolves in the territory. Even if the wolves lose track of the other wolves/coyotes, the crows will show their pack where to go by flying over the target and call. Some crows have a favorite or vice versa.
So either crows are domesticating wolves or wolves are domesticating crows. It’s really interesting and there’s a few videos about it on RUclips.
Fascinating!
Wow, thanks for sharing.
Fake gay
or its just a beneficial coexistence. this is a lot in animal kingdom. like birds on hippos.

I've come to know that people who love their dogs know more about dogs than most scientists. I take most of this info with a grain of salt.
*know more about THEIR dog. The knowledge doesn’t usually go universally to other types of dogs. That’s why you see dog owners who only ever had shorthairs complaining about a husky owner who lets their dog spend long periods in the snow. Dogs as a category are subject to statistics the same way people are, “most people prefer autumn” is statistically true but if you assumed your coworker Beth’s favorite season is fall just because you heard that fact you might be assuming wrong. If you asked Beth’s loved ones who know her best they’ll probably be more reliable than the statistics. Same as the dog owner would know their dog’s behavior better than a scientist doing a broad study.
It's literally the same thing as trying to learn first aid ,you learn it so you can treat your injures but it's dogs
Lol this video wasn’t made by scientists, it’s just some BS clickbait RUclips channel, of course they don’t know shit
Atleast they think they know them better than a doctor
Me too.
Hahaha ChatGPT with video footage! 😂
This video has the same energy as a "doctor" who just barely got their degree in Psychology attempting to describe sociopathy, congrats on giving me a VERY hearty laugh.
Our Sheltie lived to be 20 years old, no special diets, nothing. Most of the time he preferred life outside in his dog house. Only during the last year or so of his life did he like coming inside. Our first dog lived to be apx 18 years old. She loved chocolate chip cookies and ate tons of them. :) There were no vets where we lived so when she got hit by a car, we took her to a local doctor who patched her up. We brought her home, changed the bandages every day, cleaning the wound with hydrogen peroxide for a month or so and she was just like new.
Our first dog stayed close to home and followed me everywhere. We didn't have leashes for them. Our second dog would go where he liked when he wanted. He'd follow a neighbour on his snowmobile down miles into the woods and the neighbour sometimes gave him a ride back, or the dog would simply follow him. He'd also visit other neighbours for treats. There were only 150 people in our community so people looked out for most of the furry little adventurers. It was a great place to grow up with dogs. They had their own little lives and while we were at school, they were out doing their thing. When we got back, they'd be there to run around with us. Haven't lived in a place since where I would own a dog because no freedom or wide open spaces for them to roam. :)

No special diet? Do you mean no kibbles?
Mine lived to be 18 and if it wasn't for the cold climate I lived in, she probably would have lived longer. She still had all her teeth too because I gave her biscuits for snacks, safe bones to chew on, and brushed her teeth. Her favorite treat was Beef jerky treats. It was journey as dogs appear to go through same stages as humans including old age, depression, teenage rebellion, and parental (extra comforting and protective of me) like stage. It's really something to experience. That's why I implore everyone who wants a dog to please consider all that. They are not toys for the kids to keep them busy or only serve you during a crisis like Covid. They become part of your family and expect to be with you for a long time like a child does.
"my dog licks me way more than my wife does" reminds me of an old joke about who loves you more your dog or your wife.. Lock both in a trunk for an hour and see who's happy to see you when you let them out 😂😂

@@HuntingViolets not to mention what you said doesn't even make any sense. So you're saying dogs will put up with abuse but women won't??

I was raised by women and I love animals but I can make this joke comfortably bc I know it's JUST A JOKE..

If that is a joke, it’s in bad taste and a putdown if that is how it was intended.
@@Ubermensch201 The joke is predicated on the dog being happy to see you despite the abuse and the woman not being and that being happy to see you after being abused is a measure of love. Yes, women also get trapped in abuse and a dog might turn on someone abusive, but I engaged with the joke as you told it. I didn't write the joke; that doesn't mean it can't be analyzed or responded to. It's kind of extreme to think that someone responding to a joke is responsible for anything going down the tubes. If you can be comfortable with a joke, being comfortable with a response to it shouldn't be a stretch.
Am i the only one who likes the jokes and writes about them?

5:40 What you told about the scientist changing their minds about the hierarchy of wolf-packs is only partly true: They didn't completely changed their minds, they just realized that their original concept applies only those wolves that were captured (living in a zoo for example) and it does not apply to the wolves living free in the nature.
It also doesn't negate the fact that dogs require active leadership.
It's not that it doesn't apply to wolves living free in nature, but they can't get enough controlled data to confirm or deny it.
@@straightforward5724 No, they've watched wolves in Yellowstone very closely now. He's right, they don't dominate each other, but they do lead, and in a nation where parents are so obviously derelict in their leadership, I think it's important to point out that you need to take an active leadership position in your family, especially where it pertains to dogs.
More research needs to be done. Please!! The study about dogs and dominance was done using lone wolves. It’s not scientifically accurate and the dr has said so himself. Anyone with eyes and a brain can watch dogs together and see that dominance is a real thing. Ugh.
The point is you don't need to dominate your dog through aggression and punishment like many people think

Alot is shown by licking. Dogs lick paws alot if they have allergies, could have something internally wrong, times a dog's breath is bad could mean internal problems also, or bad teeth, dogs can't eat dry crunchy if teeth hurt so lose, or infection so watch for that, a person known to spank, yell or make dogs go hungry, if not aerating food st before them, old dogs need soft especially if lost teeth or tooth pain.

As per dogs average age, my mother had a dachshund that lived 24 years and didn't have back problems but did get completely gray hair. The dog was fit and loved to go to the marina with her, it would run along to the stern and leap out over the water, then swim back under the dock to land, get out and run down the dock to the sailboat, jump aboard and runny off the back again. It died in its sleep one night, seemingly peacefully.
Everyone, our family and at the marina missed Winnie and they threw a hell of a wake in his honor (yachties, any excuse for a party).
Note that some say never feed table scraps, Winnie wasn't allowed to beg at the table but Mom always let him have any protein that was left over

I once had a dog that was allergic to fleas. It was the Vets suggestion to take clippers and remove the hair from him and he loved it. The rash healed after we started doing that. We only buzzed him 1 time a year so he would have his coat for when winter came.
I have St. Bernards. They get shaved in the summer. It is very important to shave with the grain of the fur so the top hair is always longer than the base layer. They are so much happier when I shave them when it's warm out. They drule less, move more and more easily. I'm able to find ticks faster and get them off, and i can get burrs and fox trails off them before they become a problem.
I have a mastweiler and she has always raised her leg when having a wee! She very rarely squats and she also likes eating grass and never vomits afterwards, I think she just likes the taste!

I call my dog my French boyfriend. He is so in love with me abd definitely kisses me because he loves me.
I had a problem with two large neighbor's dogs. For whatever reason, they would bark for hours at night. I had to go to work at 7 AM. Finally one night at about 1 AM and I had enough. I ran up the fence between us and yelled shut up you SOBs. They immediately got quite. After that they were no problem. In fact whenever, I would be out doing yard work, they would come to the fence and looked really calm and happy. The only thing that makes sense is they had accepted me as their leader. Another incident occurred a few weeks later. A free running dog was standing in the middle of the road in front of the neighbor's house barking at the neighbor's dogs. They weren't really responding. Again this was in the middle of the night. I went up to the road a yelled at this other dog. When I did that, one of the neighbor's dogs took off and chased the strange dog away. They really just wanted someone to be boss which apparently their owners weren't really doing. I never thought I would get that kind of reaction. 😊
Okay, I adore this comment. 😁😆😍🤩
I treat my dogs like I treat my wife. With an iron fist 👊
That's an odd way to become a pack leader, but whatever works...
So you've been promoted to a Boss Dig.. ☺️☺️
@@jackofalltrades123 I bet your dog won't sleep with you either 🤣
The mask below the nose XD its like they know they dont work but theyre in too deep lmao
3:40 raw bones don't really splinter, but cocked bones do. So give your dog ONLY raw bones
My dog has been eating grass every time I take him out to the field. But he’ll usually stop and just run around everywhere I don’t think he is sick he seems just healthy.
Grass is healthy fiber for dogs
@@janeblogs324 Unfortunately grass could be catastrophic for dogs if snails or slugs are close, they leave parasite infested slime wherever they travel, such as Lungworm and you don't want your dog ingesting that.
I googled it, and it said: licking is a natural and instinctive behaviour for dogs. For then it’s a way of: grooming,bonding,and expressing themselves. Your dog may lick you to say they love you, to get attention, to help soothe themselves if they’re stressed! To show you empathy or because you taste good to them!
I can tell you with 100% authority that Google does not know everything. Google can link you to everyone in the world who claims to be a dog expert, from the global veterinary expert to your 10-year-old neighbor who just got a puppy!
@@Banichi04 I got a puppy,her names Bella. Her old name was too long(Samantha)
@@Banichi04 Ha ha google convinced me I had cancer..a brain tumour…Parkinson’s and liver disease…that was 10 yrs ago and I had none of those diseases….
I LOVE THE PART WHERE HE TOLD US THE REASON THAT DOGS LICK US
Also if you cry, dogs aren't actually trying to comfort you by licking you....they think your tears are delicious.."mhhmmm your pain is my salty drink"
We have a dog that never licks us. Her previous owner must've taught her not to lick.
Some dogs just don't do it lol
I agree. Not all dogs are 'licky licky dogs'.
@@animeloveer97 Exactly. My previous and current dog were/are Greyhound-mixes, both of them not licky at all (unless I have freshly applied body lotion, fresh sweat or something equally interesting on my skin). Maybe the breed plays a factor too, Greyhounds are often quite "polite". ;)
I have one who is in my face all the time trying to lick me and other one never licks me.
Same as some people aren't "huggy" people, some dogs aren't licky dogs. Of my three dogs I have one that almost never licks and one that is borderline OCD about licking. They're all different.
One question unanswered here: why do dogs (especially female dogs) eat poop?
Mine does it all the time when we're out on a walk, unless I can pull her away quickly enough. It is truly disgusting -- and makes me glad that my dog is not a face-licker!
It could be they are deficient in nutrients. I know female dogs clean their pups backsides all the time. It just an instinct. Maybe they bring that instinct to other animals 😬
They do it instinctively to stop predators from stalking them. In some other dogs, it's because they've been punished in the past for pooping in inappropriate places and are like trying to hide the evidence
It’s because they’re dumb creatures.
I've heard a few, but take with a grain of salt I think the last one has the most truth to it that I've heard so far. Shepherd dogs (like GSD's and the like) eat poop to prevent them and herds from being as easily found by predator's and bred into instinct pretty much, nutritional value still in them/to their noses it still smells like the food they ate before, or instinct to keep home/den clean and hidden from predators which is why they eat puppy poop and the like.
I think it's for hunting purposes apparently. They roll in shit, and eat shit to mask the smell of themselves against possible prey
I've worked with dogs for over fifty years. In that process, I've been bitten nine times. Always dogs with owners who believe its OK to let them lead on walks, win at tug-or-war and display aggressive behavior including staring, eye level, certain types of marking and being first to pass through narrow openings.
Hmm. Okay. Since I don't have the experience you do, correct me if I'm wrong but don't most dogs bite out of fear???? I'm with my 3rd GSD now, best temperament I've ever had BUT we've had too address some really rotten ( not caught early enough - my fault) behaviours ( progress IS being made) I've focused a lot on socializing him so that he gets a long with other dogs and people and situations. The behaviours ( jumping and nipping) are taking longer to eradicate.....................but every day is training..................
Maybe a cat is the ideal pet for you. 😅
As someone who's had dogs since he was little, I can say that a lot of this is common sense. Not everyone knows this though. I've raised wolf hybrids too. Though there are similarities, hybrids can be different at times. They're all fur babies. It all has to do knowing your animal.
Knowing their animals is something SURPRISINGLY, so many people don't do, it's crazy! People don't give animal credit for being able to understand or communicate their needs sentiments, fears, likes, dislikes, etc. Almost seems as the animals are arter than we humans, coz people don't try to teach, or discipline, they PUNISH BAD ACTS, and don't reward good.
@@sandyreidle5584 your take is wrong. animals punish pretty harsh like biting and scratching. thats how they socialise. humans do not punish at all nowadays especially in the west. and instead of rewarding good, every shit is rewarded.
Dogs watching this video:
Did he just say we can't eat bones? We've been eating bones for millions of years before this 2-legged hairless chimp's entire genetic branch existed.
My dog died eating a bone
It could be both, some of our ancestors likely ate things that were risky to eat and survived doesn’t mean it is necessarily harmful or harmless. There is merely a risk factor associated with certain things.
@@firulais6735 My friend's dog died eating dog food.
@@mohamamdyahyaasadahmad3165 Not certain things. All things.
Millions of years before humans? Dogs are a new species invented by humans roughly at the time we started making tools. We forced docile wolf packs to start inbreeding which made them smaller and more manageable. Most livestock like sheep and cattle are also man-made mutants designed against the natural order to suit our needs and force their dependency. If humans go extinct before all other animals, domestic animals will also go extinct and devolve.
For dogs eating grass be careful the grass isn't sprayed with a pesticide or something. Ive been told that dogs also eat grass being they're missing something in their nutrients.
Yes! Definitely best to avoid it if possible... seems there are lots of potential reasons dogs eat grass
@. Misty 1 Cats also eat grass--when they have digestive problems. Not safe for animals to eat grass outdoors. They probably have a Co that sells "grow it inside" grass for pets. I grew catnip for my cat--he hated catnip! I never had a cat who had no interest in catnip before! I "donated" that catnip to a friend for HER cat.
@@deborahwilson4684Cats eat grass to avoid digestive issues. It provides fiber
@@doggydigs it’s the nutrients one
This video perpetuates a few myths too. You may want to make a follow-up with new information.
1) You say dogs descend from wolves. False. Just a long-held assumption. DNA has proven this a myth.
Domestic dogs descend from un-domesticated dogs. Wolves - just their cousins.
This mysterious species split off from wolves approx 30,000 to 40,000 years ago, and became it's own thing. Just like polar bears are not black or brown - but their own thing.
(More fossils and genetic testing needed to clarify if there was a single, or several varieties of extinct "wolves" (or pre-dogs?) that were ancestral to dogs.
For now, we can (loosely) call pre-Domestic dogs "wolves" but it's more accurate to say "extinct, distinct, wolf-like canines." What is clear:
2) The ancestor of dogs - are all extinct.
So analyzing modern wolf behavior, trying to explain dog behavior - is "barking up the wrong tree." The lineage tree.
Wolves may have a little bit in common with dogs behaviorally - but that is simply because there are no pure-breed wolves anymore. All wolves have some dog DNA. Wolves have been hanging around our campsites smelling them in heat and feeling "the call of the wild" for a long time. In fact, the gene for a black coat is not present in wolf DNA. All black wolves are exhibiting hybridization.
There are huge differences in dog behavior vs wolf. Grizzlies are mostly herbivorous. Lean in creeks to get salmon. Polar bears swim in the ocean, mauling walrus and seals. Pandas - also a bear. Quite distinct.
Similar is not "the same."
3) Also, the "idea alpha wolves" is not abandoned. Many experts believe only the ALPHA MALE wolf is a myth.
The lead female - is the decider. The leader. The smartest. She's followed because of her hunting/location knowledge. She chooses the strongest male - as her enforcer. Brain + brawn = strongest pups.
Wolf packs - if a family - is a hardcore, metal family. SHE DOES NOT allow the other females to breed. They obey - or get punished.
After talking to real mountain men, hunters, natives, and seeing older documentaries when they were still real - the brutality of wolfpack life is hard to beat. Omega wolves - are dinner in lean times. The pack does not have tolerance for the weak, or cowardly hunters. Family. You could say a lion pride is a "family." Yeah. One where infanticide is normal.
Wolf species went almost universally extinct. Grey Wolves are an example of surviving - via savage behavior.
Compared to wolves - ancestral dogs were downright kind. They were team-players. Tender-hearted. Self-sacrificial.
Eager to cooperate; but losers. Dying out.
You could say we "domesticated" them - but we really just saved them. And they probably saved us from extinction too.
0:10 the dog has it cheek up
Came here expecting not to see particularly good information. Saw a bunch of science-backed stuff that was actually good. Yes, dogs need mental and stimulation and not just physical exhaustion. Yes, positive reinforcement works way better than negative reinforcement for dog training. The use of enzymatic cleaner when your dog goes in the house and praise when your dog goes outside really is the best route to take. Thanks for putting good information out there. There's a paucity of it on the internet.
❤ music for dogs
Dog barking loud
When you understand the four quadrants of learning behaviors for dogs, what you're saying lacks substance.
My dog doesn't just eat grass. She particularly likes to go to the edge of puddles at the park, so she can more easily rip it out of the ground _with_ the roots. Moreover, I often joke that she has _two_ urinary bladders; one for processing liquid waste and one for leaving _greeting cards_ in all the other neighborhood dogs' yards, sometimes with _literally_ just a couple of drops.
"So if fetch isn't your pup's favorite dont worry they're not broken" made my dog run out of my room 😂
“Dogs aren’t colorblind, they’re actually just colorblind” - this video
Not completely they can see blue and yellow
So can red-green colorblind people.
This video is click bait.
"Dogs aren't colorblind" was definitely poorly worded, because the actual myth was that dogs can only see in "black and white".
I was going to comment the exact same.
