Are there any YouTube videos of dogs that really affect you?

These videos always get to me, I can't hardly handle it.

The final video is both angering and heartbreaking- because not only to the animals suffer, but we (as shelter workers) suffer as well. I remember the obscene and horrible feelings I'd get every Weds. I couldn't even handle it. I went to months of psychiatric treatments to help get rid of all of those memories. I still have horrific nightmares.

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Read more here https://tr.im/uwPmA

The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don’t achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren’t putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.

The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.

Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

I love those guys. It's hilarious how Pedro always wants attention but Ram, the Dobe, is all "no plz. :("

I can't find the link, but I once watched a video that really made me mad. In the video you can hear the girl yelling at the dog SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT Of couse the dog didn't know what she was saying, it had never been trained...

At the end, she said "see, my dog is so stupid" Made my blood boil. People like that shouldn't own dogs.

I have watched several tributes to dogs who have crossed the bridge. They always touch my heart. Here's one I adore that is a tribute to a dog who hasn't crossed yet, just had a "gorgeous first year".

Trust me, you'll be moved.

EDIT: I meant to show "A gorgeous Second Year"... This one is even more amazing:

This video doesn't upset me, but it does touch me:

It's called, Pit Bull Blues

I remember someone on Y!A posted a vid, of their 2 rotties with heavy choke chains ( which should not be worn unless there being walked)

and attacking eachother for some type of food ( i dont remeber what) that was pretty sad.

i don't watch youtube vids much, it always gets me upset :(

Well, Boss, the shelter and euthanasia ones really tear at my heartstrings. Also, (I couldn't find it on YouTube) but the commercial for the ASPCA "In the Eyes of an Angel" makes me cry every time!
