My family had a golden retriever that would go nuts when he saw little dogs during his walks, but whenever we walked near a big dog he would always start walking faster and pretended like he didn't see him. He was a total bully.

When he was inside and a big dog walked by he would start barking frantically, but then if I opened the door and said "Oh you want to get that doggie, go ahead", he'd just sit there and look at me like "Close the door back I was doing somethin!".

I'm pretty sure my dog is retarded because she does the exact opposite. She barks and snarls at dogs bigger than her but when little dogs walk by or come over to play she becomes a big baby.

One of my dogs does that. He doesn't care about small dogs or people on walks (though he will try to chase cats and squirrels), but if a big dog starts barking he jumps in front of me and starts snarling.

A lot of dog species doesn't nescesarily know how big they are.

I will try to find some links to support this statement, I know I've seen that somewhere.

I had a really big dog, which died about 3 years ago, it, atleast seemed like, it had no idea of its size. It would try to fit under tables and fences which obviously were far too small for him to fit through. It might have something to do with the fact that it used to be able to, when it was a puppy.

[–]trolloc1 1 point2 points ago

I have seen that before but if she thought she was big wouldnt explain why she was afraid of small dog and if she thought she was small wouldnt explain why she is so aggressive against big dogs.

[–]Jubber 0 points1 point ago

Try explaining to a dog that it will probably stay approximately the same size throughout a day.

Who's to say that it doesn't suddenly become smaller? Or rather, that it suddenly thinks that it's smaller.

"[P]retended like he didn't see him" is an automatic behavior that even 3 week old puppies do [they would do it younger but they cannot see beyond a few inches in front of them]. It is a submissive [obviously] sign to those they feel intimidated by. For example, I tried to take a facial picture of the new puppies I picked out and I had to nearly force the pup to look straight on http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll311/skybluskyblue/jul-pup-3-newe-011.jpg .

That's very strange. My last dog would've gotten into fights with dogs twice his size if given the chance. Your dog sounds like a smart one.

My dog always barks at the neighbor's cats when he stands outside our door. I open the door to let him outside and he just runs around the cat while barking at it. Cat doesn't give a fuck. Once the cat moves a tiny bit...my dog runs away.

I've seen this in real life, with humans. Some drunken lairy guy said something inflammatory to another drunken lairy guy and the second guy starts puffing and panting and issues an order to his mates to 'hold me back!', presumably before he unleashes all kinds of fury and does some real damage. Everyone just stood around and did nothing. As did the drunken lairy guy, what with having no one to hold his leash.

When we took my first dog on walks he would drag whoever had the leash everywhere. But if you dropped the leash, he'd just stop, turn around, and wait for you to pick it up again.

An old guy who used to live at the end of my street had a Jack Russell terrier that me and my girlfriend called Racist Dog. We observed he only ever barked at black people. At first it was just a joke, then we actually sat and observed him over a 30 minute period routinely pick out black passers by for a barking while ignoring everyone else and it made him 100 times more hilarious.

His favourite pass time was to lay waiting in some bushes just by his owners gate and come tearing out barking loudly prompting people to jump with fright and move away.

One day he ambushed me and the girlfriend but we didn't move knowing what he was doing. He got about a half metre away from us and stopped dead, looked down and started to pretend to search for something, while never letting one of his eyeballs leave us. As soon as we started to walk away and got about 10 metres away he started with the threatening barking again. I turned, walked to him and he started quietly sniffing flowers again like I wasn't there.

I miss that bigoted little coward.

This emphasizes the need to socialize puppies in many many varied situations and people, types of animals, and human clothing styles like uniforms and various hats. The problem is puppies are very vulnerable to diseases before they get their vaccines series completed at four months of age. It is a balancing act.

My sheepdog used to do something similar. She'd run, barking, up to another dog which was being walked by someone, and at the last second, she would run the fuck away back towards me.

Then she'd turn around, and charge the other dog, and repeat this until I caught up and grabbed her leash. It would scare other people I guess, but I thought it was a little funny since I knew she'd run away and was just 'fronting'.

[–]skybluskyblue 0 points1 point ago

Being on the end of a leash that is being held back can cause tension, anxiety and sometimes aggression. Has anyone seen the tv series It's Me or the Dog? One episode in particular illustrates and emphasizes that pulling on your dog's collar when they are looking or barking at other dogs is a "no no". I cannot find it now but here is where they discuss "leash aggression": http://positively.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=11135

When I had my dog (A yellow lab) he always knew which dogs wanted to play and which ones were likely to be mean. He would try to stay away from little or big dogs if he thought they wanted to fight. If they were friendly he would demand to go to them.

One day there was this huge dog that I was scared to death of, but he ran over to the dog and they immediately started playing. On the other hand a smaller dog that didn't seem too bad he ran away from and sure enough when that dog was out without a leash it tried to attack him.

Dogs are pretty good at knowing what another dog's intentions are. If you know your dog isn't going to attack then it is probably best to follow their opinions on a given dog.

I like it call it small-man syndrome. Notice how the little chihuahuas tend to act all belligerent and bark hostilely at you until you take one step toward it.

Same with real life. I was considered pretty tall during grade school. Most people would leave me alone at the locker room during my junior high days. But it was always the little people who'd swear at me in front of everyone for stepping on their shoes by accident only to back when I'd take a couple of steps toward them.

Ehhh, maybe, maybe not. I was more relaxed than others about appearing tough and big. I never got into standoffs or fights back in those days. If someone ragged on me, I just walked away.

Little dogs love to talk trash. My neighbors on one side had a long chain link fence, behind which were two German Shepherd Dogs, a Great Dane, and a Doberman Pinscher. My neighbors on the other side had a Miniature Schnauzer. Every morning the Schnauzer's owner would open the front door and the Schnauzer would tear across my yard and head right for that fence and run up and down barking savagely as these four monsters climbed over each other trying to get at him.

One day they got to the end of the fence and the gate was open. There they were, face to face at last, nothing between them.

So they sniffed each other's butts and headed back home.

[–]cocoabeach 0 points1 point ago

We own two chihuahuas and care for two. When ever our female gets the chance she tries to attack the dog next door. This dog is the size of a small horse,if he was not a gentle giant he could take her out with one bite. Two of the other dogs are brave if there is a fence between them and the giant next door. And one runs to the house and barks to get in. I would say the forth one is the only one that understands how small he is.

My wife and I own a business, several times a day I have to make deliveries. One thing I have noticed is that the bigger the dog, the less I have to worry about him. Big dogs just look like they know that they can take me out, so they don't have to prove anything. Little dogs don't bother me much because I could drop kick them into the next county. Middle size dogs on the other hand are often much more aggressive.

I think that this person may mean that they think that Republicans talk very tough but secretly expect the courts to invalidate laws that they enacted to please their base. For example, restrictive abortion laws that will be struck down eventually and homophobic laws that please the base yet violate the constitution on an "equal protection" basis etc.
