.... are those his ears?

[–]Scythesickle 59 points60 points ago

No, it's tape. Doberman owners often tape their dogs' ears in order to get them to stand up for the Doberman look.

Don't ask me, just how it is.

EDIT: Haha, your edit made me smile.

Well, usually that's after cutting them, so the tape doubles as a bandage.

She did it by herself. She was getting in trouble for jumping on the door to see inside so she eventually got on the table. The picture was taken about a year before this post.

[–]tomdarch 77 points78 points ago

So I'll be the jerk who plays this straight: That kind of delayed punishment totally doesn't work for dogs. The best thing you can do is to keep the dog away from the table. If the dog can be near the table, you need to be attentive. At the moment the dog makes a move to get up on the table, yell "no!" or whatever (but not the dog's name) and walk over to use your "body language" to intimidate the dog away from the table and out of the room. Unless the dog has made a huge habit of getting up on the table (and/or has gotten a lot of people food by climbing up on the table) it shouldn't take too many rounds of this instantaneous correction to get the dog to stop doing it.

If the dog has gotten food off the table by climbing up, and done it a bunch of times, then you've created a bit of a monster. Being attentive and using instantaneous correction will be the fastest way to change the behavior.

But dog's brains just don't "get it" when the punishment happens several minutes (or even several seconds) after they perform a behavior.

[–]rtetz027 23 points24 points ago

Yes! Thank you for saying this. Also, putting your dog outside for any kind of punishment is very confusing for dogs. Your backyard should be a happy place for them. Teaching them that it's punishment to go outside means that they will assume it's bad to relieve themselves outside as well. No good!

[–]PhanaticalOne 7 points8 points ago

Thank you. I know some very smart people who just don't get this. Thank you, all dog owners should read.

[–]beeteeoh 8 points9 points ago

Upvoted! Now I really want to know what the deal is with dogs climbing up on tables with no food on them...

[–]CorAutMors 7 points8 points ago

its a superiority thing

the higher one is, the more superior

dog tries to get on your level to show dominance

[–]beeteeoh 1 point2 points ago

Gotcha ... Now I'm glad we have a Basset. She'd be climbing up on things all the time if she could. But she can't! Na na na na boo boo!

[–]Tenacious_Badger 0 points1 point ago

I get the instant correction thing but why shouldn't you use the dog's name? My dog knows his name and always responds. Shouldn't using his name reinforce the fact that the correction is directed in his general direction?

[–]ArtistiqueInk 2 points3 points ago

I would guess to prevent the dog from associating its name with punishment.

[–]mosquitosleepover 0 points1 point ago

Everything is so counterproductive in my house. I'll try to discipline the dog or train her properly and my parents or brother will just do the opposite because I'm being mean. Or "OH she's so cute how can you do that to her?" -___-

[–]tomakeredditsuckless 0 points1 point ago

Not.. gonna argue how to raise dogs here... but if OP walked in on his dog standing on the table.. yelled and sent it outside.. and it proceeds to glare at him whilst on a table outside..... the dog is at the very least displaying that he is confused about the whole don't get on the table thing, to a degree beyond simply thinking table=food. This displays a certain grasp of past events that your training rational would seem to argue isn't there.

[–]CoffeeRobotFromSpace 0 points1 point ago

No it doesn't, it really just displays the fact that this dog is amused by climbing onto a table.

[–]MentalProblems 11 points12 points ago

[–]TeeAre 3 points4 points ago

This is actually pretty shitty to do if you want to not have your dog stand on any tables. They don't understand punishments that occur more than a few moments after behaving "badly", and keeping him on a table is only going to make him think you want him there, aka reinforce the behavior you are trying to punish him for.

[–]BradOShizno 9 points10 points ago

Fuck you... i'll stand on THIS table.

What kind of world do we live in? You sent him outside as a punishment? I've never heard of such a thing.

You'll only confuse the poor dog.

[–]MyMind_is_in_MyPenis 6 points7 points ago

"Wanna go outside?"

Dog gets extremely excited

Stands on table to confirm

[–]JackoNorwich[S] 0 points1 point ago

See the thing is, he's such a people Dog, he properly thrives being around people and hates being alone. We had people round and he got too worked up and ended up on the table so I sent him outside for some isolation. He always comes back inside placid and well behaved, so I think he knows what's up.

[–]Scythesickle 0 points1 point ago

Oh, I guess that makes sense. So he doesn't get confused when you let him outside to go to the bathroom?

[–]JackoNorwich[S] -1 points0 points ago

Well I walk him twice a day, any business he has to do is done then. Plus he'd go out the front if he needed the loo, not the back garden. The back garden is for bad dogs.

[–]Scythesickle 0 points1 point ago

Hah :b

[–]rtetz027 0 points1 point ago

Thank goodness someone said this.

[–]saurellia 0 points1 point ago

Really depends on the dog. My dog had no interest in outside if I didn't go with him. Being outside when I was inside was beyond punishment - it was cruel and unusual punishment as far as he was concerned.

[–]Usernameisntthatlong 9 points10 points ago

[–]Nallenbot 2 points3 points ago

I heard something like this once: If every time your dog pees on the carpet you throw it out the window, eventually it will learn to pee on the carpet and jump out the window. By punishing your dog by sending it outside for standing on the table you are basically saying, "If you want to stand on a table, do it outside."

[–]sauropoda 2 points3 points ago

That is the first thing to make me burst our laughing in a long, long time. Thank you.

[–]arcenic 1 point2 points ago

Why do you sent your dog outside as a punishment? I really do not see the sense in doing so. You should have said no to him, taken him down and sent him on his place so he could lay down.

Be consequent.

[–]zoidb0rg 9 points10 points ago

This is the most inarticulate good advice I've ever read.

[–]Kellianne 1 point2 points ago

As with children, it depends on what the offender finds rewarding. If the dog is seeking his owner's attention, then scolding him and sending him outside (where the owner is not) is a logical consequence. Albeit, slightly messed up in this instance by taking the picture.

[–]arcenic 0 points1 point ago

Also true on the other hand . I totally agree. I just wanted to point out that this isnt a good way to teach him

I'd love to know the thought processes of my dogs if I "sent them outside" as a punishment. If they even understood my intention and could think this deeply, they'd be thinking "wow, I got sent to my favourite place, better act up more so I get punished more often."
