I’ve had this shaggy rug since my dog was a newborn. The 3 of us moved across the country, and whenever we get back from a good walk, he runs to it and digs & rolls on it like it’s some killer patch of grass.
I love my dog so much, and I like learning about the different ways she tries to communicate and make connections with me. I’m so sure that she, and all other dogs can’t wait until we humans finally get as smart as they are and we can all finally coexist completely peacefully and happily together.
Great video! The explanation for why they shake their toys makes a lot of sense(the wolf/killing one) my border collie does that a lot. But he rarely waits by the bathroom door, though. That's because he's always in there with me!😂
I went camping with my son and his dog once. When evening came after an afternoon of hiking and meal time with the sun going down, his sweet dog decided it was time to sleep. She began digging a clearing and then a shallow hole to the point of grabbing roots and breaking them off to get them out of the way. It took her a while but then laid down as we entered our tents. My son wanted her to be inside the tent so that's where she went after all her efforts. She had never done this before or after, just this one time.
One of the biggest misunderstandings about dogs is that their nature is very different to wild canines. Unnatural selection isn't as powerful as we think, and its often better to think of our pets as mini wolves.
I’m so glad that I have a better understanding of why my dog taps my arm when she doesn’t want something because she doesn’t always want/need anything when she does this, and that helps me understand her a little better!
Had a malamute, (actually had 2 and a Siberian husky) He was a shocker for the paw thing to get attention. His claws were like 1/2 inch long after trimming and he knew how to curl them to grab you. Still loved him lots.
Haha, when they curl them around you to grab you, it HURTS! Starbuck has his nails trimmed, but he has a very bad habit of grabbing peoples legs if he can sense they are about to leave the house. It HURTS! 🤣 They are very lucky that they are so cute and loveable 🐕
I had a gap under the fence that my neighbor's terrier sized dog would stick his head under and bark at us like the little shit it was. It annoyed the hell out of my female rottweiler but it would always pop back out when she ran toward it. One day the little dog was being a dick as usual but this time it came all the way through. I don't think he realized that while continuing to stand there and bark, just before my dog grabbed his neck and started shaking it, but not in a "yay toy" kind of way; She was thrashing the living shit out of this little dog and growling the entire time to let it know it earned this. I was already envisioning them euthanizing her for killing it before I could reach her. I was going to literally cover up the murder and bury it in my back yard. When I grabbed her collar and yelled for her to stop, she dropped him and to my relief the little asshole was still alive. She didn't even bite down all the way. Other than probably being dizzy and freaked out, it seemed fine as it scurried back under the fence. It never stuck it's head through our side again.
I have a theory that both cats and dogs follow us to the bathroom because in nature that would be a vulnerable time for one of their pack or pride and so they would stand guard. I say this because i am a painter and well....I often have to use the bushes and have had both the cats and dogs of clients come and "post up" while I go . And no....not number 2. I'm a professional after all.
If you watch rat catching dogs, they shake the rat after catching it. It prevents the rat from defending itself. Edit: Dogs watching tv also depends on the quality of the tv. Has something to do with refresh rate and dog’s vision.
I seen that tik tok! They squeak too...my doggie makes sure she grabs her toys around the neck and is able to slam the rest of it into the ground shake after after shake...looks fun but the meaning is hilarious...little murderer
Prior to hi-res screens, dogs did not often watch TV. Some did attracted to movement, but it was believed that they couldn't make out the image clearly. If you sat close to the screen in older TVs, you could see the larger pixels.
My dog does all of these things she’s a cross Maltese and cavalier. What freaks me out is she not only watches TV mainly for the adverts but she knows the audio whether a song or a specific voice and will charge in from another room to watch. As I write this she is,sat on the sofa watching family guy it’s Brian she is waiting for.
I have no idea why this video popped up in my feed. Now, though, I'm obsessing over your accent, highly reminded of a Kiwi with whom I used to work years ago, and wanting to just find a youtube channel with you reading books or news articles. If my native accent has that kind of power over people, I want to know where and I want to buy plane tickets now.
Dogs make their bed to sleep comfortable. Often, you can see them cirkeling around before laying down. Many animals do this to stomp down and flatten tall grass. In hot weather, dogs will sometimes dig a small pit or just scratch up some bare earth and lay down on it with their belly touching the ground. The moist soil below the grass will help them cool down, almost like you put a wet towel on your forehead when you have a fever.
As someone who has been around dogs most of my life it's nice to find out a couple of things I never realized before and reinforced others I've thought about. When it comes to dogs and the bathroom, most dogs will come right in if allowed and stand guard until you're done doing whatever you're doing! I haven't had a dog in a while due to losing one of my 4 Great Danes, 4 years in a row. That was extremely difficult but being fifteen years ago, I'm ready to jump back in again, even though my wife is opposed to the idea. I'm going to bring a Staffy puppy home one of tge3se days and while she'll be mad at me for a while, she'll love the puppy! One thing I'm absolutely death on, however, is docking a puppies tail (cropping ears is a relatively close second. I don't have my male Dane's ears cropped and he had one ear infection after the other!). Since dogs use their tails for communication so much, I think depriving them of that appendage is a crime! I really wish people would stop doing it and don't understand at all why it's done in the first place! Oh well, it's good I'm not king of the world I guess! Cheers, jc
Haha I'm sure she'll absolutely love the puppy! And yes, totally agree with the docking. It's illegal to dock a dog's tail here in New Zealand. Starbuck doesn't have a tail but that is because about 50% of the Swedish Vallhunds here in New Zealand have a genetic mutation that means they are either born without a tail, or have a stub for a tail. Some of Starbuck's siblings have beautiful wolf-like tails. Whereas he was born with absolutely nothing, not even a little stub, lol 🐕
I would ad intentionally breeding dogs to have a under bite to your list. It makes things like eating and defending themselves difficult. If a human is born with a under bite they fix it before the child leaves the hospital.
Sorry you had to endure the loss of your dogs, that would be horrible to deal with. I've had several Great Danes and they are terrific friends but losing one is heartbreaking, I still get sad thinking of my first Dane in 1969, she saved me from being mauled by two German Shepherds! I still miss her.
I love dogs so much. I enjoy your videos. We dog lovers need to support each other. My dogs do nearly all although neither blinks much. Miley, our Chihuahua-Dachshund licks incessantly. She licks fabric, her paws, or just lick the air. I always give my dogs some old clothes of mine when I have to leave them for a while. They immediately put them to use. We have a 6-month old Shorkie puppy named Maxi. He may weigh only 5 pounds (2.25kg), but he has the most personality I've ever seen packed into a puppy. They really enhance our lives, and we enhance theirs. Both of mine are rescues.
They sound so lovely! It sounds like you are a very lovely pup parent too. I'm sure they really appreciate being allowed to be themselves. Some people would not let them lick & scratch your clothes, but you let them be themselves, which is wonderful.
My dog Chikkoo does most of these, he likes to watch or listen to ads especially if they have kids in them. As for waiting near the bathroom both my dog and the cat are partners. ❤
My friend has to get up at night to let her little dog out to pee or poop; he has to stand with her or the dog will not go out. It's a rural area with coyotes so we feel that she is too anxious to "perform" without a lookout nearby. Probably goes back to the safety of the pack.
my dog has a whole ritual, he scratches, and moves the blankets out the way, pull at the blankets with his teeth then twirls around a bit fixing his bed then he plonks down for a sleep after he has made his bed to his liking ???
6:08 Another obvious reason for dogs to tap their humans is that humans socialize with the dogs by hand contact. The dog is, in effect, petting their human partner as the human pets the dog. I have seen this behavior in every dog who has ever owned me.
Your accent is so interesting! I noticed you use rhotic r's at the end of some words, and have some other American pronunciations. Did you spend time there?
It's actually a toy I got locally in New Zealand, unfortunately I don't know about where they might be overseas, but if you'd like to know where I got it, I got it from this NZ based store (I know the people that run it, they are lovely!) and they might ship internationally: kiwicanine.co.nz/products/magic-destuffer
@@FurPalsFirst Glad you’re fine. I still remember the emergency story from North America. Looking forward to new stories one day (more positive of course).
Of course your dog is board. If they spend 23hrs out of their day sleep then that means you’re not doing anything with them. I think we ‘think’ dogs sleep so much because of the lifestyle they hold with humans if you were stuck inside of a house with absolutely nothing to do everyday you’d sleep a lot also. I bet dogs that have free will over their lives will do so less (probably)
I'm not sure if this was aimed directly at me or in-general. But Starbuck is definitely not bored, and doesn't spend 23 hours a day sleeping, haha. He is busy and only naps, snoozes & rests the average amount per day for a dog. In fact, because he is so busy throughout the day, by 7pmish he is usually out cold and sleeps until the morning. He usually chooses for himself a very early bedtime compared to most dogs I know, to make up for his lack of sleep throughout the day, due to being busy.
@@FurPalsFirst no of course not aimed at you particularly. I’m just speaking on our culture & what we’ve turned our animals companions in to. We affect their culture tremendously & then base their lives off of what we observe when in actuality they could be much more active throughout the day if we were more active with them. They spend their lives living in a huge box with very little interactivity. We have phones, tvs, food, socialization, work, etc. They have a box we call a house, us & when we’re not there to engage with them they have nothing. That’s a hard pill for me to swallow sometimes. It would be much different if they were on their own & had their own culture to tend with.
Dachshunds love to do this. They have been bred to hunt for animals that tunnel and bury underground, like badgers, foxes, rabbits and rats. Breeders have selected for dogs that have no claustrophobia, and feel comfortable and secure in a confined space. This breeding has been so effective that Dachshunds and other "ground dogs" feel so comfortable, they even prefer to bury themselves rather than sleeping out in the open. Dachshunds also love to get in behind the couch cushions and just hang out there, or crawl inside clothing left on the floor.
Scientists are divided on whether human pheromones actually even exist, but we know dogs can smell our emotions. Maybe there was a better way of wording this because it doesnt necessarily have to do with pheromones.
I would never ever keep a dog, disgusting. I don’t dislike them I just don’t think they belong in the house. they drink from the gutters and eat rotten food from the rubbish heaps. They don’t need a home and survive just fine. Go to any developing country
Dogs do those things out of survival, not because they like being nasty. They didn't ask to exist, they deserve to be treated with respect to their needs and nature.
What a weird, judgemental comment. Nobody is forcing you to own a dog or click on this post. As indicated in the video, every dog is a support animal. They truly know when you're feeling down and will attempt to consider you, usually quite successfully. Btw, as most pets, my dog drinks from a bowl and has no need to eat rotten food - I cook for her.
I am guessing Sash has no pets…. Unless they are trolling or being a hypocrite. I am also pretty sure Sash wouldn’t want to be near other humans if they found out what they would do for survival.
Love this information and you're such a great presenter thank you
Fun video. I have always been amazed at a dogs ability to sense our emotions. Well done! 🐶

Oh how wonderful, congratulations, I'm sure you'll love having another member of your family!
One of the biggest misunderstandings about dogs is that their nature is very different to wild canines. Unnatural selection isn't as powerful as we think, and its often better to think of our pets as mini wolves.
I always change into comfy clothes when I'm indoors. Then I hear something, my dog has grabed my pants, carry it to his bed and then sleep.
