| I'm convinced dogs have mood changes like people and will exhibit them on a daily basis. Well tempered dogs included can have 'bad days' or moments. It just happens and could be due to a lot of reasons, included sleepiness after a day of visiting, playing or training.
As for the owner laughing at her dogs misbehavior, that to me signals the dog owner is approving of the hijinx. I've seen many many parents do that with their human children - the kid acts like a total brat, the parent grins or smiles in approval while pooh-poohing the brattiness. Drives me nuts because it reinforces the bad behavior in children and dogs. I'll tell you who'd I'd like to leash sometimes. The dog owners and the parents. :D |
