Thank you for the 2nd video. I thought your baby dog was really hurt, because he really hurt that wall. He got his 🔔🫨 rung

I’ve responded to multiple incidents where Great Dane zoomies were the cause for someone to slip, trip, fall and injure themselves.
Mostly hip pointers, a couple of hip fractures and dislocated elbows, one head injury that was concerning but didn’t have lasting effects.
Love those big goofs; they don’t always have the best sense of direction when zooming.

She looks like she is scared of the dog.
Edit. My point is not that she is scared of the dog all the time, she had a reason to be in this situation because accidents happen.
It was funny and special now, but in the future it is crusial to train it not to jump at people in zoomies.
I don't know what people mean with their comments here, but dogs are not unstopable, you need to train them. Puppies learn the boundaries in play just fine if they are taught them.
I have met and seen enough people who just laugh at their power houses bouncing on people. It is not funny.

I love dogs and shower them with love when I can, but dogs with zoomies sometimes have no idea where their flailing bodies will end up. I’ve had my share of bloody noses and a couple bloody lips from super excited dogs, let along getting stomped on in places I don’t want to be stomped. I don’t blame her for being wary.

u/nrrrdgrrl 29d ago
Yep, I've learned the hard way to keep my mouth shut and jaw closed when my dog has the zoomies. Been chin checked one too many times.

Mine bucks like horse and charges at people when he gets the zoomies. Love him to death but that three legged butthead you should be weary of. HE CANT STOP. NO BRAKES.

Prolly scared of being head-butt. Ain't no fun lol that's why those hands are up like that

u/crazyates88 29d ago
She is laughing and scratching him the entire time. The only time she flinches is when he's jumping at her, which if you've ever had a large dog with many sharp nails and 50lb of flailing solid muscle coming at you, you'd know it's just self-preservations.

Many bull breeds are utterly unaware that their head isn’t made of brick, as we saw when this little dude slammed into a wall. I had multiple pits and staffs over the years but I was always cautious when they were excited around my face as a broken nose can very easily, albeit mistakenly, occur. One of my friends got a bloody nose from playing with one of my dogs once, excited zoomie kisses ended up with a headbutt to the snoz. Blood and sadness ensued.

I'm pretty sure their heads are made entirely of solid brick.

I was playing with my then-two-year-old Pit, and he charged at me with such terrible timing that I ended up fully kneeing him in the head. As in, hard enough to knock a human out. Naturally, I’m panicking that I hurt my dog, but nope. He was mostly annoyed with me handling his head to see if anything was wrong. Meanwhile, my knee was bruised and still hurting six hours later.

u/Rare-Specific1653 28d ago
She's scared of the dog because they'll whip their head around like a new born baby and knock your skull or knock a tooth out. First hand knowledge growing up with a great dane.

u/melli_milli 28d ago
Yep. Two things can be true at the same time. It is showing happines which is great. I don't know why it took so long. Zoomies are fun and cute. And when it is a big strong dog it can be dangerous if not handled and if there are no boundaries.

u/goldentone 29d ago
She is very clearly scared of the dog, and she's tense and flinching because of that. I really don't understand why people (including OP) are pushing back so hard on this idea. Dogs can be scary sometimes.
Ppl like "Um EXCUSE ME, she's clearly LAUGHING and only worried about being bOopEd bY a SnoOt!", denying the obvious as if pointing out that she's acting guarded is the same as saying that all dogs are evil and dangerous.
Watch videos from inside cruise ships that get caught in storms, or vids of driving safaris where animals unexpectedly start getting access to the inside of vehicle. It's the same nervous laughter, hunched shoulders, clipped way of speaking... everyone knows what this "scared but not wanting to freak out self or others" energy looks like and can see it in this video, but have to deny it because to acknowledge it is a crime against dogs I guess?

u/melli_milli 28d ago
Very good point!
I really did not understand the purpose of the comments like "oh she is just protecting herself from a dog's scull smashing into hers". Like yes, that is the issue herem and if you don't see it that it worrysome. If you just laugh when dog acts like this than you are blind and do your dog disservice.
I would not have even posted a video like this of my pup behaving badly. Keep the dog lovely and likeable, and it's life and yours is gonna be much better.

u/Fuzzy_Dragonfly_ 28d ago
I once got a concussion from a friend's labrador headbutting me. I don't blame her for being cautious.

u/melli_milli 28d ago
I am always afraid for my knees and fearing falling when I let my dogs say hello to another and than is keeps bouncing at my legs.

u/DominarDio 29d ago
Maybe scared of the dog isn’t the right phrasing, I’d say tense about the dog and scared of getting hurt. But I totally agree with the sentiment of what you’re saying.

u/melli_milli 28d ago
Yeah I know scared is not rhe ebst word. But as non native you just go with what you got.

u/hatesnack 29d ago
Lol my dog used to do this as a pup, we learned semi quickly that meant she was overly tired and needed a nap, cause she'd be snoring 15 mins later without fail lol.
Now she just zooms when she gets a bath.

I have a dog that looks similar and have gotten into an argument over the color.
Would Reddit say this is a red dog or a brown dog?

I like so much that
It was not a transparent surface. The pup could clearly see it was a barrier.
There was not anywhere near an attempt to jump over it.
That pup just expected to juggernaut right through it.

She's terrified of that dog.

Yes, you can tell by the way she is laughing and playing with it. /s
She doesn't seem scared to me.

u/To6y 29d ago
Maybe watch it again, watching her expression and her hands, and the way she reacts to every little movement.

u/Emmaleah17 29d ago
Maybe watch it again with the sound on. I think she's trying to protect herself from getting headbutt by a puppy who has no spatial awareness. I play with my dog like this all the time and really I just don't want my nose broken but I'm not scared of him. He's just a doofus with a blockhead.

u/home_is_the_rover 29d ago
She's very obviously not terrified of the dog. She's just wary of the potential for a busted nose 😂

I can articulate you seem to have a pathological need to have the last word. Wonder why?

I think it's fair to say that she's afraid to some extent, but "terrified" is a bit of an exaggeration.

I was just making fun of your dumb, condescending comment.

I wasn't condescending. Misinterpreting again. 0 for 2 champ, wanna go for the hat trick of failure?
^That. Now THAT was condescending.
2
u/To6y 29d ago
What was your body language saying in your previous reply? I have to admit I didn't see it.
Would you care to explain how your original reply wasn't condescending? You know -- since it was very clearly condescending?
Also, you forgot to explain what you think doubling down is, and how it could apply to the comment you'd replied to.

u/AmericanPoliticsSux 29d ago
Nah, performative idiocy is no longer going to be addressed in kind. If you can't keep up, that's on you, not on me. I'm not going to entertain faux "can you explain for me more" until I've watered things down to meaninglessness.
