My parents’ dog, a yellow lab, does this.

My dad takes him and his three other dogs out to the park nightly... and this guy goes batshit when my dad gets up from the dinner table.

No, batshit isn’t overkill. He quite literally is jumping over his Great Pyrenees and GSD sisters and jumping off of the walls. Again, no hyperbole - he is jumping off of the walls.

He also barks the whole time to the point where he’s damaging his own ears. He barks at 110 db, at a pace of a bark every 2 seconds or so on and off.

...sooooo... 30bpm @ 110db? Impressive Subwoofer

Sounds a lot like he's all bark if you ask me

What’s he looking at?

u/Lahoura avatar
Edited

We were driving through a college campus and he was simply getting excited over all the people. He likes people lol

Edit: Edit: Since a lot of people are asking, I promise it's not a seizure, he's trained to not react to things and it's his first time with the window fully down. He wants to greet all the people and he can't. He usually has glass to stop him but this time it's all his own will power He's just trying really hard to be the best boy he can be.

Edit 3, answering some other things: His name is Ragnar, he's a German Shepherd, Labrador, Pitbull mix. We rescued him as a pup. He's 4 years old.

Edit4: his collar is not too tight, he's got a fat neck with lots of extra skin and a tiny head. I can still slip his collar on and off without any issues. I promise he's ok. I'd never hurt my doggo.

Awww sweet boy !!! I’ve got one who’ll stay with the humans at the dog park and ignore the dogs!

u/Lahoura avatar

He usually greets every human at the dog park before playing. Making sure to get a pet from every single one of them, especially any little ones

His body language says it all: "MUST. STAY. CAAAAALM. AAAAAGGGGHHHH, LET ME LOVE YOUUUUUU!"

The University of Oregon campus has this statue:

This was one of my dogs, Dandy. He was über extroverted and absolutely adored people, while assuming the feeling absolutely had to be mutual. He was a standard American Eskimo Dog/Brittany cross who tended to attract a lot of attention because he was so cute. And everyone who petted him would comment about how soft he was.

I remember a time he went up to these two ladies sitting on the ground who appeared to be deep into some conversation. He proceeded to plant himself sideways directly in front of them, with a big smile on his face and his long, swishy tail wagging furiously. Without even skipping a beat or hardly breaking eye contact with each other, both women reached out and started petting him. He was extremely pleased. He also expected no less.

It's been about 6.5 years since he passed and I still miss that wonderful pup.

u/CosmicTaco93 avatar

They never do truly leave us, huh? The best we can do is just make their time with us the best we can. We've got an old man of a pup who isn't in the best health, and I have to keep telling myself that we've made his life the best that we could.

How do I help her stay calm like your pupper?

u/Lahoura avatar

I've trained him since he was a pup, I would make a noise while turning him around and make him look at me instead of the want and if he kept looking at me he got treats. The treats turned into praise. After a while, the noise made him turn and look at me just for a "good boy"

If my dog got that excited, that backseat would be drenched in urine.

I knew a lil dog like that. You say "Who's a good dog?!" one too many times and you end up with a puddle.

My dog hasn't done it since she was like a year and a half old, but I still freeze up anytime somebody goes to pet her.

Yeah, my dog used to get too excited when I'd come home and piddle the floor. She doesn't do that anymore. However, the dog I'm referring to was an older dog and he'd still piddle himself if he got too excited.

When I was a kid I was babysat by a neighbor after school until my parents could get home from work, and she had 2 dachshunds who would pee on the floor when I walked in bc they were so excited.

Well, when you leave your dog set to vibrate for too long, it can burn out the motor.

Change the oil regularly and inspect the bearings after every 3000 hours of operation and it should last you 10-13 years.

My dog gets like this every time we get in the car. It's because he's scared shitless. He thinks we will abandon him.

u/lolwuuut avatar

Our foster dog had that issue with car rides at first so we had to take him on a bunch of fun rides to help normalize the car. Lots of pup cups were had

that's what we've started doing. every time we get in the car now we go to the ice cream place he loves and get him a treat. hoping it breaks his fear. It's been 4+ years now and every time he gets in the car he's just absolutely terrified.

4 years?? Oh shit...we’ve had our 5 year old adoptee 2 weeks, and were hoping that she would ease up on it. There must be some trauma at the root of this behavior.

When I got him, he was in a shelter. They told me they know he was in another shelter, adopted and given back at least twice before. That's as far back as they had records. They also said it was possible someone threw him out of a moving vehicle.

In any case he's super happy now and has definitely found his forever home. I am pretty sure there's a pic of him in my posts somewhere. He just hates cars. I've taken him up with me to see my parents (hour away) at least once a month for the entire time I've had him. he shakes every time. Including grooming visits or just going to the dog park. Hoping this treat thing breaks it.
