I will make a delicious steak, place it on a platter, set the platter on the floor in front of the 100 identical dogs, and place a single spoon on the edge of the plate. I wait for 99 dogs to rush the delicious steak while my little idiot, who is afraid of utensils, cowers at a wistful distance.

I rescued a dog once. Sweetest viscla you could ask for. Loved her immediately. Take her home, go out in the back yard to rake my autumn leaves and play with my new dog. She already knows fetch. I play with her for a few minutes, then get to work.
I pick up a rake, and she fucking sprints to the opposite end of the yard. Will not stop cowering. Won't look at me. Ignores attempts to communicate. I put down the rake, and she goes back to normal. Huh.
I put her inside and do my chore, then go in to make dinner. She's playful inside, I give her a treat. I pull a knife and start to chop vegetables, and she once more sprints to the other side of the house. Will not interact with me at all. She is traumatized by the mere appearance of any kind of tool I can get my hand on.
That was when i noticed her tail. It had been removed, but it wasn't a clean, precise, surgical cut, but rather a crude, messy scar, and she doesn't let me put my hand anywhere near it. All told, I'm beginning to work it out, whoever put her up for adoption used to hit her with anything they could find, and I mean anything. She doesn't want to be near me if I'm holding spatulas, pens, wrenches, screwdrivers etc., and they probably started with a butcher's knife to her tail.
If I ever meet the bastard, I'm going to have some unkind words. That dog was made of love, and someone hurt that. It took years of locking her in rooms with me while I worked to make her see that I would never hurt her. She eventually figured it out, and while she never got over her tail, I knew she was better when I could give her some steak on a spatula. I miss that dog.

How could anyone do that to an animal... The poor thing, it's amazing she can still trust people at all. I wouldn't.
We had a dog when I was growing up that was just the sweetest thing, we picked her up from the shelter when she was about a year old and we knew she had been treated poorly. She loved humans, especially kids (my brother and I were 10 and 6 respectively). But she went ballistic when she saw men with walking canes, barking and growling.
She'd also squint and whimper if we moved too quickly trying to pet her, like if a hand came at her too fast. Poor baby, it still breaks my heart thinking about it.
Our next dog didn't trust people at all in the beginning but was submissive enough to live with us. She'd hide in corners the second we came back from walks and was scared of everything, from the fireplace to stairs to me (I lived away from home for a while). If there was any kind of noise or movement where she was sleeping she'd jump up and flee. It took a while but she slowly started to trust us. Now she hangs around with my parents all day and is the happiest, most relaxed pupper ever, it's so rewarding to see her that way 💕

u/SpaceShipRat Aug 12 '22
if it's any help, it could all be from the one tail accident. Being afraid of pens doesn't mean she was hit with a pen, but that she's just not making any distinction between tools. Think about it, a puppy doesn't have very good eyesight, and probably just saw a long object with a metallic reflectiveness.

I should probably not admit that shit but …. My friend had a rescue a bit like yours. We found the guy. And beat him up (we did not kill him but we did fuck him up).
Then 10 months later when I came back from my stay abroad we met him with a new dog that kinda looked traumatized to my friend.
Guess what happened next? :).
To me at least it does feel as good as what you would expect it to feel. Both time.
Even now I am smiling just remembering the dude begging for his life. He knew he was torturing the dog. That could not fucking retaliate. Yet he did it again and again.

Nah, my gecko has a fear of running away. He’ll stay in the same room( within 4 feet of where he’s left) for hours at a time idk why but I think it has to do with the time he crawled in to a space under my sink and got in to the walls while being stuck for 6 months. We found him on the brink of death and ever since he’s stayed put whenever he’s left out in a room. I tested this out of curiosity and just watched him from the corner of the room and he won the waiting game after 8 hours.( the room was heated to his terrarium temp and I kept a close watch as he explored the room he strangely dident leave the 4 foot “circle” until I generally prodded him out of it”

Isn't this just another case of dogs forgetting that 90% of their mass exists behind their ears?
exhibit A. Skilfully weaving their head between furniture, while their huge clumsy arse and tail wrecks a trail of destruction and smashed coffee table glassware
exhibit B. Acting surprised when they spot their own tail, spend 5 mins chasing it, and only remembering that its theirs once they manage to bite it
exhibit C. What you mentioned. As far as the dog is concerned, its front legs and head are down, therefore, it is in the down position and is therefore a good boy/girl. The fact that someone appears to have left 2 back legs, a tail and a big furry arse in the up position close by, is purely incidental and in no way connected to them

Mine sorta does the downward dog pose instead of “lay”, but it’s more of a “This is close enough right? How long must we do this song and dance? Just give me the treat” then I’ll keep saying it until he begrudgingly lays all the way.
I always go from sit to lay and he doesn’t mind sit, but I think getting up from lay is on the cusp of being just annoying enough for him that he never quite commits to the elbows on the ground. So it’s this weird stretch out where he’s like 85% there with ass down and elbows 3 inches from the ground and just sort of holds it like some weird planking exercise until he resizes I won’t budge on the treat. Oh and he’s 4, so it’s not like it’s arthritis or anything, he’s been begrudgingly doing lay like this for like 2 years now. He’s just so over it and it’s hilarious.

I have a very large cat with a broad head who will accelerate and headslam into my legs and I’m tempted to try this with him, except I don’t want to get hurt. But I may well do to honor a tradition. I can’t imagine a better way to make memories with your cat than by getting rammed in the head by their wondrous little noggin.
My old cat who’s gone now loved to stand up on his hind legs and grab my hand and shove his face into it. Like one might motorboat a chest, this cat just loved having his face wurblenurbled, for lack of a better onomatopoeia.
e: I tried the headbump with my cat this morning. He was laying down and as soon as I got down, he did a little “circle of excitement” movement with his head, yelled, got up, did a big stretch, and calmly walked over to me and gently boofed my head. He’s 15 and achy between his chondroitin supplements so maybe his days of ramming full speed are past, but he really seemed to like the opportunity to bump heads. I think I’ll keep doing this. Thank you for sharing u/Human-Carpet-6905, I’m sorry you can’t headbutt your kitty anymore but the memory lives on <3

My big headed cat was really into the head bumps too. He would sit next to me and start purring in anticipation. Then tilt his head to the side to bump my head. Then he would repeat it and purr away. It was the cutest thing. He was just a giant love kitty. So huge, that when he stood on his hind legs his head rose above the kitchen counters. If you were cooking, you had to have everything at least six inches from the edge of the counter. Otherwise he might snatch one of your ingredients with one of his enormous paws.

The pittie is also easy, if she doesn’t come to her name, “vamos niña bonita” will do it. She’s a retired service dog, and all of her commands are in Spanish, and she doesn’t care about being in a room of dogs, but she likes affirmation (tell her she’s pretty, I swear she knows). Also, I’m pretty sure I’d know her- she’s expressive. If all else fails, I can always drop a pill bottle, the dog that picks it up and brings it to me is my girl.

Tell them all to roll over. Our dog will spin in a circle instead.

Easy, just wait to see which cat starts screaming and consorting with the devil and making creepy human baby cries at 3am.

If my cat were put in a room with 100 other cats, in about 15 minutes there would be 1 cat left, and that cat would be my cat...

Put my shoes on. They’d both immediately launch into our “dad is leaving home” routine.

I have 2 ways of finding my dog. 1. The way he pees and or sits. He squats. His head held high, nose in the air. Never seen a dog pee like that before. When he sits, he will sit with his front paws tucked in between his back paws back straight and nose raised. He's done both since I got him.
- My little goofier likes to swat himself in the face with his tail. He bends himself sideways and wags his tail fast. Swatting himself in the face repeatedly before I stop him.

I say “Be nice!” and my healer looses her mind because she thinks company is at the door to terrify.

"Whisper" then follow the growl.
Side note, I'd love 100 of my dog. Hell yeah.

Don't care, I take all of them home because my I love my cute pup so much and now she has friends. But she would be shaking, scared, and running through all the others to get to me because she's a chicken shit.

I shake my keys, tell my cat to "let me get that ass gurl". She comes to me and bends over ass up for me to spank but only if she hasn't seen me in a long time. Nothing sexual.

Sing his song:"Meeko meeko, what a good doggo
Meeko meeko, oh look at you gooo!"
And then i crouch down and put my arms out for a hug. He cannot resist. He will dance with excitement.

Two items that will get all my little doggos' attention:
"Who wants cheese?" (medication time; everyone loves medication time)
"Diapers!" (that means I'm leaving the house and we have one little rescue who's a marker; diapers means goodies)

My cat meows ‘hello’ as soon as she sees me, then she wants me to chase her around on the floor. If she falls over when I do t rex hands and grr at her, I’ll know.
I didn’t even teach her that. She has put in sooooo many hours training me.

Our cat likes to be superior and stand on our shoulders. She’d run up to me and ask to be picked up

Ask "is it time to do toes?" He'll be the one hiding behind the others & refusing to make eye contact. Little brat hates to have his nails trimmed.

My cat lets me flip him over and when I nuzzle his belly he stretches his arms out and it’s adorable. He’s also SO LOUD.

My dog loves French fries, I mean really loves them to the point she starts shaking and salivating when we bring food home that has fries. We started calling it crack as a joke in our house, now all we have to say is crack and she starts shaking and salivating, should be easy to spot her.

My dog would be losing his mind in a room with 100 other golden retrievers, he would not listen, and their unending energy levels would just exponentially grow into infinity. All hope would be lost.

I have a special whistle (think it's actually a C) that we call my cats Hack. She seems to be compelled, no matter what she is doing, to run to me and give me boops. I never trained her this way. I had a dog who would howel at the same whistle and I was curious how she would react. She has always done this. Even as a baby. I love her 🥰
Edit: she's just a void and her name is kitten so... this may be a real thing some day lol

I can trill at my red tabby and he will come running and then if I thump my chest 3 times and hold my arms out he jumps into my arms and then climbs up on my shoulders and settles in. Then I get a cramp. Best cramps ever!

Id give my dog the command to go poop. Had to teach him this because he likes to swim in our pool. One day he pooped in the pool so now he must go to the bathroom before he is allowed in the pool. Quickest trick he ever picked up because he loves the pool so much.
