Scared Dog Fights Balloon

shinyblurrysays...

very cute..owners dont seem to know though that you're not supposed to make a big deal when a dog gets scared..they did an experiment where a dog had something frightening happen to it with a human around..if the human reacted like "awwww ohhh noo are you okay?" it ingrained that fear..but if the human didn't react then the dog thought it was no big deal..basically the human reaction amplified (or not) the fear that the dog naturally would have just shrugged off.

Same thing happens with children when they get hurt and parents flip out.
