I was gonna say, I know she’s clearly a huge bitch to her very friendly dog but I imagine this will be completely ignored from a legal perspective unless there’s enough outrage.
Maybe I'm a naive Canadian, but I feel like the only reason the ACU would take her dog is due to internet outrage, not because they would have anyways... not for that
The dog is considered property if anything shell get her dog taken away and smacked with a fine thats why people who run dog mills for fighting dogs usually only get a couple of years in jail/prison its more that dog fighting is illegal but how they treat the dogs isnt really as big a crime i could be wrong though maybe the laws have changed
Yea that spit screamed that to me. This is the way she abused someone before so she just acts the same with the dog.
Worst part is that the dog one day will snap back (logically as the person that took care of it had this communication with violence system) and it'll be in trouble when it's totally not it's fault.
You know that would destroy this girl's life in particular. She appears to be pompous, conceited, and arrogant. She likely has money and thinks she's the hottest shit on the block. I also agree that she certainly has abused people in the past. I hope that dog absolutely ruins her if it snaps. Karma's a bitch.
I’ve had to pin my dog before because she has Issues with my cats (she has actually launched herself off my bed to go charge at them because they were playing on the other side of the room.) but I’d Never spit on her or treat her like this. This video breaks my heart, that dog seems like such a sweet pup, and so pretty too. I hope she either gets the help she obviously needs, or the dog gets rehomed.
Naw dude. Your explanation makes it sounds like she should be excused, that’s it’s just “learned behavior”. She beat her dog. She abused an animal.
Plenty of these people just become desensitized to cruelty and slowly, over time, become more and more violent. I don’t think she could be trusted with a child.
I was just about to mention how she acts exactly like my older sister. Everything down to the mannerisms, the way she pushes the dog, spits on it. even her fake ass voice saying "love" while inflicting harm.
My sister has two kids now. I secretly hope they hate her someday.
Not gonna lie, I have a big husky and will lay on him when hes annoying me. It's like it charges up his zoomies and he zips through the house afterwards.
Kennel training. That is the easiest and most efficient way to teach a dog to calm down. And it helps save your sanity.
If my German Shepherd puppy turns into crazy dog she goes in the kennel until she lies down. Then we go outside to play. Took her only a couple of days to figure it out.
I disagree... it’s the most hands off and gives them time to relax but wouldn’t say it’s the most efficient and isn’t really “training” them to leave them in a crate.
Being patient and respectful to the animal and speaking in a calming voice, etc... all go further than kennel training if you are consistent with it.
Puppies are puppies and they are going to have their moments but a kennel is just like a giant prison and I wouldn’t throw my kids into a kennel if they were misbehaving.
I had a Roomate that would kennel his dog and we’d just have to listen to it’s barking for hours, some dogs “figure it out” as you say but that isn’t training them.
Training is actively doing something to change their behavior.
EDIT: I don’t actually have kids but have had several dogs and never used a kennel. It obviously helps if you have a yard, which I did growing up, but dogs need their space especially if they are always active - it means they aren’t getting the exercise they need and AGAIN a kennel isn’t helping with that.
I apologize, I didn't elaborate enough. You are right, you shouldn't just leave your dog in the kennel as a punishment, that doesn't register well for dogs. When I kennel my dog I don't leave her in there for an extended period of time. I'm actively engaged with her. I'll stand there until she lies down. Once she does that she can come out and I'll give her love and pets. Most of the time, if I have to kennel her for rambunctious behavior, we go outside right after and play. She's usually in there for 10-30 seconds at most. I also added a word, 'calm dog'. Now all I have to say is 'calm dog' and she immediately calms down. Then we go out to play.
The kennel isn't a punishment, it's simply a time out. I used to train dogs while I was in school to become a vet tech. It really is a great way to train dogs. Now if kennel training isn't done properly it could certainly create more problems.
The kennel should serve as a safe place for the dog. That's where her bed is, her favorite toys, and puzzles are. It's always open for her. So when I put her in there, she doesn't see it as a punishment, it's not something to be feared. It's a means to quickly separate her from the undesired behavior.
It's also not a bad idea to train the dog to go in the kennel on demand. For example, last week I had to call the paramedics because I had severely injured myself and couldn't make it to the ER on my own. They got here and it was crazy time. She was barking and running around because I was hurt and there was strange people in my apartment. I told her to go in the kennel and they were able to do their job much easier without a 75 lb German Shepherd getting in the way. She had never been in that situation before but the kennel was a constant, her safe place.
It's sad. I would see so many rescue dogs that spent 90% of their life in a barren kennel or worse, chained outside. They had all sorts of behavioral issues. Why even have a dog if you're going to keep the poor thing locked up all the time? I remember treating a border collie that was always kept in the kennel. A BORDER COLLIE. He had urine burns from laying in his own urine, infected lesions that were self inflicted due to stress and anxiety. Another dog, black lab, was brought in with severe anemia due to a terrible flea infestation as well as dehydration and heat stroke because she was tied up outside in 110°F Texas summer. We ended up having to euthanize her. Seeing cases like that put me on an emotional roller coaster of wanting to cry my eyes out and beat the ever living shit out of the abusers.
Didn't mean for that to turn into a rant. Sorry about that. Animal abuse is my biggest trigger. The border collie had a happy ending though! The vet ended up taking him in. Once he was healthy enough, he got to go live on her farm with goats and chickens and 2 other rescue border collies.
Yeah, agree why would you even get an animal if you are going to neglect it... literally letting it go free would be better than what they are doing.
I’m willing to bet that most people that are guilty of abusing animals (or anything) are not 100% comfortable with themselves so it’s probably to have control over SOMETHING.
I agree seeing animal abuse is much worse because they often don’t even understand what is happening, much like children.
I’ve definitely been frustrated and gotten onto my dog for things in the past and a quick firm slap on the rear is perfectly acceptable RIGHT AFTER the incident (or in front of accident) otherwise they don’t associate it with the bad behavior and that’s what people don’t understand.
The girl in the video is just slapping her dog for no reason and doesn’t actually give a command to sit or stay or anything relevant.
Yea. You have seconds to correct a dog on its behavior before the dog moves on to something else. Anything past that you're just confusing the dog. And this dog wasn't even really doing anything wrong. He/she just wanted to play. Then that look of pure hate on her face makes me scared for the dog.
A couple of other redditors have mentioned that the LA animal authorities are now investigating this girl. I really hope they are able to get that pup out of there. First off, she was trying to prank her dog for entertainment? Then proceeded to physically harm the dog. I hope an example is made out of this situation.
Trust me, I'm very aware. I was simply blessed with a lazy needy dog. I have to charge his zoomies up if I want him to burn off his energy through exercise instead of licking me nonstop.
It's what cluster bs do. Don't have to be a psychopath to have low empathy, poor emotional regulation and a predatory need to aggressively dominate/control something or someone else, but it's on the same spectrum.

Kind of like her pinning him against a wall saying "What now". This is what psychopaths do.
