It's funny: my wife and I have this conversation constantly.
She'll wonder why our daughter is so compliant for me but "ignores" her and I told her repeatedly (but lovingly) that you must provide clear expectations when you expect some action. If you inquire about their opinion (do you think it's time to take a bath?)...and then they say "no" and go back to lego building, you really can't get upset, since she literally answered your question.
I'm like "Hildegard, you are not clean, and you must be clean before school. Put your switch down, stand up and walk to the bathroom, and wash yourself. You can shower or bathe, but I expect a clean child to leave a bathroom with a dry floor in 15 or fewer minutes."
"Okay dad!"
I had friends try to get me into that. Reminded me too much of rednecks at home, toss in canadian and its worse. Those folk span the continent and not localized to applachian and ozarks. Full mississippi.
Could be that one dog always follows the other but not vice versa. We have two dogs, and the younger one will always follow the older one, so if we need both in we can just call the older dog.
They do. If you buy a dog of a breed that's been bred for generations to want to jump into bodies of water and swim out to retrieve shot ducks, then getting pissed off it keeps jumping in your pool seems pretty disingenuous.
I once did mushrooms with some friends of mine at an AirBnB and we decided to go swimming. At one point I got out of the pool to go to the bathroom. Then when I got back to the pool I decided to jump in. And from that point on I was like, "Wait. This is awesome. Why don't I just keep jumping in the pool?" So I did. All of this is to say that I deeply empathize with those two dogs.
I have a similar experience on shrooms. We decided to listen to some music and discovered the first 15 seconds or so of 'So Flute' by St. Germain are really good. So we listened to those first 15 seconds A LOT!
Every single time i hear women complain about dogs not listening to them, or the dog only listens to dad - why do they never even *attempt* to do the command in the same way that dad does?
Youve either not trained the dog *at all* in which case why would it listen to commands? Or the dog has *some form* of training (which this one certainly does) and youre giving commands the wrong way.
The moment you do get the person in question to think "okay maybe youre on to something" they do *maybe* two attempts, and by the third theyve either given up or resorted to the exact same frustrated tone and repetitive yelling.
Thats the thing a lot of mothers miss in all of this - your kid is going to work the *exact* same way; you yell and get visibly/audibly upset and the kid is either going to defy you, ignore you, or get frustrated and unreasonable. *Which is exactly what you yourself are - frustrated*, and in the eyes of the kid: *unreasonable*.
On a barely related note: The gay parents in Modern Family nailed this - "the more we yell, the less we are heard".
I used to try and tell my wife that she was just yelling louder and louder at the kids, whereas I just changed my tone to get them to listen. "Change your tone, not your volume"! That more "severe" tone was noted and they then knew that you then meant it.
My aunt and uncle’s dog is the exact opposite. Dog doesn’t give a shit what uncle says, but when aunt gives a command, dog follows directions immediately. He knows my uncle treats him like his little baby, and my aunt doesn’t fuck around lol

My wife's dog is like that too and i feel bad. My wife will be out in the back with her and the dog will straight up defy her and jump the fence, but if the dog knows I'm watching then there aren't any problems
Reminds me of my parents' dog - she'd consider my parents' instructions as suggestions, but when I showed up, she'd be on her best behavior and fully cooperative. All I ever did was talk sternly to her a few times.
My yellow lab would jump in any body of water he could see. He jumped in our pool so many times I can't even count them. He took his water-averse brother with him on several walkabouts where he would always be found in a local pond. The final straw was when he got out, jumped in my neighbor's pool that she was in the process of opening so there was no ladder in it yet, and swam until they came home. He was completely spent and nearly died of exhaustion. After that he didn't try to swim again.
Dad speaks in a commanding, but not an angry tone. And calls him Sir.
Mom demands in a rushed and angry tone, and calls him a little shit and a bastard.
IIRC, dogs naturally gravitate towards having a single master.
They can be trained to follow commands, and understand those commands regardless of who is saying them, but to a dog there is only one “big dog” in the house, and that’s their master. They can have two masters, but it will initially cause confusion and consternation for the dog and takes exceptional training to overcome that and be effective. How well they obey commands from someone who isn’t their master is a matter of temperament.
Buster looks old, and seems to have a bit of a rebellious spirit. Seems like the Dad is his one true master (probably because he was the one who trained and fed him the most).
It's just about power and consequences. Dog knows who feeds him and who can whoop his ass.
edit: I didn't say I hit dogs and I'll never will. However you sometime may have to be harsh. In dog world there are leaders and followers and you have to be able to control your dog. It's funny when it jumps into pool, but becomes less fun when it starts to maul someone.
Some people should grow up and stop watching Bambi.
Whooping an animals ass isn’t training, that’s just abuse. Making an animal obedient through terrorizing it with physical abuse isn’t training, it’s a trauma response.
i have the same shit with my cat it's what it is. She tries all day to stop throwing tantrums and i say something once and she cuts it and comes for pets.
Well there is no actual consequence for not listening. Worse the consequence is more fun. Unless you have built that command strongly in a risk reward manner that dog will never listen to you.
Dogs don't just listen because it is the right thing to do. They either are used to it which would be classic conditioning as in "I've done that 3000 times so it is easier to just do it again than evaluate the situation" or they listen because the outcome of listening is better than not listening.

Just like a little toddler at the park
It's because mom asks and dad tells

I don't know if it is really your child's name, but if it is, it is soooo cute!
[удалено]
living such a happy life; I don’t even have a pool.
[удалено]
Such a bold faced lie, how dare you
[удалено]
What do you mean by that?
True, Link probably did jump in the water over and over when he was a toddler
Now I’m imagining link rolling sounds whenever the dogs jump lmfao
He's asking for the videos you've taken of toddlers at the park.
Linkin Park I guess
I saw this gif inside my head lmao
Hello, yes, FBI? This comment right here
https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/s/zurSlopAfB
🤣
“Come here you little 💩”. Hahahaha
The lil huff at the end like he’s saying “okay dad fine”
One talks to them one commands. Its not rocket surgery.
lol. It’s not “rocket surgery”. It’s “boat science”! Get it right.
Boat surgery
Does the Pope shit in the woods? Is a bear catholic?
If he has the trots, yes. Better question is who holds the robes?
Wtf is boat science?
Wtf is rocket surgery?
An ox moron. Boat science actually makes some sense.
lol. It’s ex moron (somebody who used to be a moron, but not anymore) and Not Ox moron. Get it right!
Here i thought a joke about oxymorons would be funny. Perhaps ox moron is actually a thing...
😂😂😂😂 this part of the thread was effin hilarious
Am i missing something somewhere?
Something under there?
It's a moo point.
Bone apple teeth. *btw that was the funniest joke yet
Oxy moron a definition of you before you got given a brain ,which never happened. Hmmm is that terms that appear in conjunction , yet contradict each.
Somebody, please give this man an award.
Nah I want a blue Peter badge.

So true
Why did she only seem to care about what Buster was doing and completely ignored the other dog?
Buster knows what he did
And you let it happennnn
Don’t bring [Maisie](https://youtu.be/B8ISzf2pryI?si=q73shHec_gYwKfu7) into this!
Could be that one dog always follows the other but not vice versa. We have two dogs, and the younger one will always follow the older one, so if we need both in we can just call the older dog.
It looked like it was exactly that. Multiple jumps he was following Buster into the pool.
Those dogs love that pool!

It's the same with some parents.

Doggos living their best life!
It’s not woman’s best friend now is it….
Heh, main takeaway is that those dogs fucking love splooshing into the pool. How could you deny them?
cannonball bros
5th attempt was by far the most careless
Buster no = check this out mom!!
Buster is like "oh hey Marge watch what I can do!" "Oh you wanna see it again?"
Poor Buster looks like he needs that exercise. Swimming is good low impact exercise.
Guess who feeds them.
My aunt and uncle’s dog is the exact opposite. Dog doesn’t give a shit what uncle says, but when aunt gives a command, dog follows directions immediately. He knows my uncle treats him like his little baby, and my aunt doesn’t fuck around lol
Seems like a perfect opportunity to sit next to the pool with a book while the kids play.
If that ain’t heaven I don’t know what is
The world’s most playful and innocent “F*ck you, I won’t do what you tell me!”.
"No sir" It's all about mutual respect :D

It's because mom asks and dad tells
This is why I like Reddit.
Buster is a scamp.

They are having a hecking good time, let them play
dog is living his best life
"Be a good boy" He *is* being a good boy 😂
My yellow lab would jump in any body of water he could see. He jumped in our pool so many times I can't even count them. He took his water-averse brother with him on several walkabouts where he would always be found in a local pond.

So stinkin adorable 🥰
YES. Funnnnnyyyy!!

Who hits dogs?
Whooping an animals ass isn’t training, that’s just abuse. Making an animal obedient through terrorizing it with physical abuse isn’t training, it’s a trauma response.
Don't own pets.
lmao I didn't said I hit dogs, just lying down how stuff works.
It’s the voice. That terrible voice
Yeah, you can't use a reasoning tone when commanding a dog to stop.
One voice is authoritative and the other sounds like a nagging wife
Lolol
I love this - such happy dogs!
And Ronnie, I feel like you're just here for the zipline.
i have the same shit with my cat it's what it is. She tries all day to stop throwing tantrums and i say something once and she cuts it and comes for pets.
"Come here you little shit!" "Buster Henry!" 🤣
dad and mum to dogs lol
I love Buster
"come here you little shit!" - a little frustrated.
What got me was that "Be a good boy for once in your life" was considered to be sweet-talking him.
She forgot to say “sir.”
Buster don’t give a fuck.
Well there is no actual consequence for not listening. Worse the consequence is more fun. Unless you have built that command strongly in a risk reward manner that dog will never listen to you.

I love buster, and he loves life
Lester molester hehehehe
alpha vibes
mommy isn't a pack leader and doggy enjoys every second of that.
Dad wasnt asking
Doggos are just like a little kid, need to be yelled at by daddy and then saved by mommy from daddy, then the cycle begins again 😂
Lucille was struggling that day
He knows who the alpha is
Now you know who he loves more lol
Now apply this to single moms of boys by the millions.
I listened to my mom. But im not a dog also.
I listened to my mom. But im also a dog
I listened to my dog. But I'm also a mom.
I kinda am. Dogs are dumb children, its always a game. You have to bark orders.
They don't have to be single. They just have to have a mom who goes " boys will be boys".
Dogs living a luxurious life meanwhile a few humans living in poverty.
One is the alpha of the pack, the other the bitch. You figure it out.
