[–]Can_Be_Harsh -5 points-4 points ago

I admit that the dog is great at sitting still, but that's just it, isn't it? There's no talent or anything, just good self-control and the ability to sit still.

[–]tupacs_dead_corpse 8 points9 points ago

Are you trying to one-up on a dog?

[–]NatGesicht 10 points11 points ago

Some of the items are large and awkwardly balanced, and a lot of it is food. I'd say that's talent and patience.

[–]wellschist 9 points10 points ago

have you ever tried this on a dog?

[–]Alareshu 1 point2 points ago

Wow, you're harsh.

I should hope not. Sweets are terrible for dogs, especially chocolate.

Those weren't chocolate cupcakes.

[–]arefx 8 points9 points ago

To all the people complaining that this is bad for the dog.... seriously its only torture if you DONT let the dog eat them after.... other wise im pretty sure the dog know whats up and doesnt mind because its getting food.

[–]Hanistotle 40 points41 points ago*

Guys i'm pretty sure the dog doesn't mind this one bit. If he/she did he/she would have just walked away. Dogs aren't helpless. Also he/she is about to eat 7 dog bones, sound like a good time for him/her.

[–]pikindaguy 34 points35 points ago

To us it's like eating 49 bones.

[–]Vultatio 6 points7 points ago

So like a regular Friday night for your mom?

[–]funkgerm 11 points12 points ago

I hate when people say this is some sort of abuse or cruelty. Dogs absolutely love to please their owner, and if the owner wants the dog to wait 5 seconds before eating all of the delicious treats in his mouth, then the dog will happily oblige. In fact, this exercise helps the dog build trust in his owner, because the dog knows that he will get to eat the treats in the end, but if he fucks up and eats them right away, he won't be getting any more.

Damn I love dogs so much. I wish I had one right now.

[–]Yadizinha 2 points3 points ago

8 dog bones, possibly 9 (the one on top of his head looks like it might actually be two.)

[–]Hanistotle 4 points5 points ago

Either way 9 dog bones seem like something a trained dog would gladly wait for.

[–]aerynjbson 0 points1 point ago

I counted 9.

[–]tobygeneral 5 points6 points ago

[–]sceezy 36 points37 points ago

this is not animal cruelty. making a dog do a simple trick like this one and then rewarding her with praise and treats is not torture or abuse.

[–]kbwoof15 10 points11 points ago

or a dog that really despises that brand of treats

[–]someshooter 3 points4 points ago

It's even a Japanese game show

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points ago

[–]marryanowl 4 points5 points ago

I am currently on a diet and this is exactly how I feel right now.

[–]funfungiguy 4 points5 points ago

Those treats in his mouth remind me of this dog.

[–]berrytot 2 points3 points ago

You should really get in touch with the person who created stuffonscoutshead.com. Your dogs are soul mates or something.

[–]allthecoffee 2 points3 points ago

Of course he's being obedient, he knows as soon as the owner takes the photo that he gets to eat 9 cookies!

[–]ellyem 2 points3 points ago

That dog is made of win. All the win.

[–]duckstaped 9 points10 points ago

[–]torontos_finest 0 points1 point ago

Looks like a German Shorthaired Pointer to me, could be a lab.

[–]PhatDaddy420 1 point2 points ago

I'd say a chocolate lab, or a mix, but def some lab in there. I'm quite impressed they got a Lab to do this!

This trick is easy to teach your dog... after he has been stuffed.

[–]Dag-nabbit 1 point2 points ago

...or worst dog treats ever. and that's saying something my dog just ate a turd.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

My question is: if this dog is about to receive no less than eight real-world treats because its owner wants to reap internet karma, who has trained who here?

[–]UncleTogie 2 points3 points ago

[–]Lostcory -2 points-1 points ago

Notbad.jpg

[–]knut01 12 points13 points ago

That's CRUEL! Poor guy!!

[–]bermygoon 10 points11 points ago

It isn't cruel, it teaching the dog discipline and obedience. Two very important traits when you own a pitbull (like this dog).

[–]kaaarly 2 points3 points ago

Two very important traits when you own any dog.

[–]IvanKozlov 22 points23 points ago

Oh yes, making a dog do a trick is so cruel; because you just know for a fact that he didn't get any of those treats after the trick was finished, right?

[–]feelingnodefeat 13 points14 points ago

Pretty sure he didn't mean cruel in the "animal cruelty" sense but moreso in a "haha it's so mean to tantalize your lil buddy like that xD."

[–]IvanKozlov 0 points1 point ago

That is a possibility. Perhaps the OP of the comment will provide insight and reply to me.

[–]pikindaguy 5 points6 points ago

Dogs above all else, have a main goal of satisfying their owners in mind. In this case, OP's karma = dog's karma, but times 7.

[–]a4moondoggy 1 point2 points ago

Just like when humans overcome an obstacle and are then praised and get ahead afterwards dogs also feel that same sort off accomplishment and happiness when they please their masters. The happiest dogs are usually those trained like this. Also healthy dogs tend to be happier(just like humans) and people who train their dogs tend to also regulate their dog's diet. This dog had no discipline before and would eat of the table even when told not to, it needed drastic training that's why it has the crazy face. i doubt it makes that face now when told to stay because it knows it will get treats and also please it's master not simply eat forget and not feel any accomplishment.

[–]I_wwebsite 4 points5 points ago

Scumbag pet owner

[–]Se7en_Sinner 27 points28 points ago

Don't worry, the dog's dead and taxidermied.

What's the difference between that, and a public display of awesome cleavage, or a fine ass?

I know exactly how that dog feels.

[–]Dank_Dub 1 point2 points ago

Aw that's just a different kind of torture..

[–]sourkroutamen 1 point2 points ago

If I were that dog, I swear I would kill you. I would do dirty things to your dead body.

Well done! We're trying to teach our dog to "wait." This must have taken a lot a training.

[–]michalita 0 points1 point ago

This always makes me think of those Nigerian scammer troll photos. Did this dog's father recently die and leave him a lot of money, which he needs to funnel to you for safekeeping?

Seriously, how do you teach this? Not this specifically but that trick of putting a bone/treat on the dogs nose and having him wait until you say to eat it?

My dog has four tricks. Sit, Paw, Other paw, lay down. Sometimes "Stay" will work.

[–]Dr_Mc_Bock 0 points1 point ago
