Thanks for the video. Off the subject: I rec d. my videos and book! Both dogs, Max and Gretta are enjoying the canine supp. As far as your hair goes. We think it is fine. Not off the wall in any way. It is rather framing your face nicely. If we all pick on people's hair and their outside fashion. . . what good can come from that? God sees our hearts! As long as a person is clean, respectful and peaceful, that is a big plus. Have a great day. p.s. Tula is sweet.
Never shamed my dogs but I do love the videos. My dogs look like that anytime I try to take a photo. Maybe it’s a bad hair day thing?! Or photo phobia
I think most people are missing what it means when you say 'shaming' in this case. It's not about yelling at the pet, or getting angry at them, many of them are about silly comments. And, unlike humans, most pets don't really know what is going on other then they have been set up to pose for the camera with a piece of paper or other form of sign. Unless you are actually getting mad at the pet, they would have no idea that the note equals sharing thier bad habits with the internet. It's only us humans that get it. Most of the ones I've seen, the pets don't even look like anything is out of sorts. The 'I've been caugtht' expression probably happens most of the time when people take these photos right after catching the pet doing something, or starts speaking to the pet again in the you are in trouble voice. In that case, they pet is going to look 'shamed' because they know they just got caught for doing something they were not supposed to do. They are going to look shameful sign or no sign. I've grown up with pets of varying sorts my whole life (mostly cats and dogs, and I'm 30), and if you are doing this in good fun, and are not angry at your pet while you are doing it, your pet isn't going to think anything more of it then that time you put a pair of sunglasses on them and took a picture. They react in the moment to things like this, not based on an event that happened two weeks ago.
The angle from which many of the photos are taken is also going to make dogs especially look ashamed, because it forces them to look up from under brows, which humans read as being a contrite expression, and it also makes it look more like their heads are tilted down. Some of the pets might also be mostly focused on the WTF of what their humans are doing this time, like "Why did you want me to lay here with this thing?" or "Why did you put this on me?"
Also, most 'shameful' behavior is a learned response. Dogs especially learn that looking ashamed is what is expected of them when they are 'in trouble'. I know….we had a dog that would regularly put on puppy shameful eyes when you caught her at something she wasn't supposed to do…and then she'd be right back at is as soon as you walked away.
Dogs and cats are both very smart, but they are not humans. They don't feel ashamed about abstract concepts and social 'stigmas' like we do. They are not going to react to a comment about having messy hair. They will however react to your tone of voice. Seriously, you can say something a human would take as mean in any context to a cat or dog and as long as your tone is cheerful, their tail will wag. You can say something super nice to them, but if you say it in the 'I'm mad at you' voice, they will think they are in trouble. It's our body language and vocal tone that they react to.
I agree. I wish the dogs of the mean spirited people could human shame–put a sign on their owner that says, "I had diarrhea this morning" and post it online, lol.
pet shaming NOT good, I love my critters thru their bobo's BUT NEVER SHAME. Our little friends love us unconditionally,as we should them.
…..and yes, I hate dog shaming!!!!!
Like the new look, but, I prefer your just showered, wash n wear look!
we did some experiments with out dogs and we nicely used negative words in a joyful voice and the dogs loved it, they responded more to tone, mannerism than the specific words. The dogs probably are not having fun because of the way the owners are handling it, so negativity is probably breeding negativity in the home and ownership relationship.
I have yet another question….same dog with epilepsy….the dog has a long strand of pus after urination!! It is NOT a bladder infection…she was tested for that and doesn't have a bladder infection. What could this be?? sorry this is off topic from this video but I don't know if You Tube has private message/ inbox or anything. Don't know where else to post. thanks
If someone has to choose between being right & being kind then please choose kindness above everything.
Lots of love to all animal lovers from Dubai 😘
Yes, respect animals, all animals! Also your hair looks good 🙂
Dog shaming has got to go. I totally agree and was just thinking today. Am I crazy or too sensitive when I saw a pic at my vets of dog shaming. So unnecessary! We just don't know how much bad vibe the dog is picking up from that whole experience. People should play with their dog instead of spending time hanging a sign on his neck. Maybe he won't do the bad behaviour if he has the attention he needs in a positive way. Kudos to you for addressing this issue! Btw you look great. Hair and all. 👍😀
If a person has the kind of personality that thinks it's amusing to shame an animal, then they more than likely will think it's ok to shame a person as well. Years ago a vet asked me if I thought my dog might be embarrassed. I can't remember the circumstances now, but that was the first time I had given any thought to animals having feelings like that, so I'm now more aware of it. Long hair suits you. Laurie
Thank you for this video Dr. Jones…I have not watched a dog shaming clip on Fb for a long time because I would cringe at the lack of understanding on the owners part. Dogs have feelings too just like we do!. Positive training is the way to go.Explain to your dog what behavior you do not want to occur, say leave it and reward when that behavior is no longer an issue. There are trash containers with tops that dogs cannot knock down or open the top. Your hair is adorable…ignore the mean comments.
Oh gosh what a beautiful, touching and lovely dog. Thank you so much for this very important video. I will make one about this subject today as well. Most people are not informed about the psychology of animals and humans at all. I see hideous and cold hearted jokes and images all over the Internet and it directly reflects the state of mind that most people are living with and it is a state of mind that had closed itself off from love and vulnerability as a form of self protection and in that process they are no longer able to see the needs and feelings of others anymore. I have pointed this out once to a former friend of mine after she sent me "funny" photos of dogs. When I told her that this is not ok and that the dogs suffer she took terrible offense. But we have to say something when we see wrong actions. It is our responsibility to speak out and I am deeply grateful to you to stand up for the dogs and for holistic healing so bravely. You are a vital teacher for the world.
My dogs don't wear shoes (unless it's formal), and I LOVE your hair. ~ I rescue dogs and shaming them is never a good idea. They are already stressed. If you are upset with your dog – they ALREADY know it. Love goes a lot further than anger in training. You pull your kids pants down and degradingly punish them in public? Shaming is cruel and harmful.
Oh my word!! What a load of hippy rubbish. How about dog owners TRAIN your dog NOT to eat toilet paper or whatever. If you really think that a dog understands what the "shaming" is then I worry about you. And your trying to compare dog behaviour to human behaviour are you serious!!!
If I caught my Labrador doing something like shredding toilet paper it would get a smack on the backside.
We will only be able to save this world and it's habitants by sharing love, and not by shaming other living beings.
Good video Andrew, as always 😉
My dog makes me feel great when I get home, so I remember that if he does something wrong. Dr. Jones, I wish my beagle ate cucumber.
I've noticed my dog has been eating grass a lot, she is quite obese but is due to her old age. Is it okay to give her any teas or lemon water?
My young English Setter is into digging in my back yard. Right now the hole is large enough to put in a small spa but I keep telling her if she has to dig at least make it large enough for a full in ground pool! My dogs, I have four English Setters in all, are never ashamed, they are just doing dog things!
Hi Dr. Jones just loving Tula. she's a very beautiful dog. what breed is she? I agree with you 100% I don't know why people do this to there animals! I don't think it's cute or funny at all. I love my little ones. n would never shame them like that. just want to thank you for your great videos and want to say that your looking much younger.
Hi. I was just wondering if you have any videos about epilepsy in cats and dogs? I know a dog with epilepsy so I'm very interested in learning more. Thanks!!
your hair critique? it's cute ! Your dog videos are great. So helpful!
I dont usually pay attention to your hair, not relevant, but since you mentioned it, it looks great! I love your channel. Thank you.
well said Dr. Jones
I hate dog, people, any type of shaming. And I am so surprised that even people who believe they are "good" dog owners cannot read dogs! They don't have a clue as to what the dog is telling them, ears back, lip licking, yawning, etc they don't have a flipping clue. BUT, every dog I have ever met can read humans. They may have trouble with human mixed messages, but they certainly can read when we are angry and upset, and of course, like kids, they think they did something wrong. Just saying. Good video doc. Thank you.
