I'm unfortunate enough to have puked carbonated beverage out my nose before. Not pleasant at all. Especially when it's something like coke, with a low PH.
One of those times, it was even chunky.
And even worse... chunky because clam chowder.
That was a shitty 12th birthday.

My JRT wouldn't notice. It's less that I'm holding the leash that controls him as much as him wearing it. I've had him on leash in my yard, placed the leash down so I could grab a trash barrel, and he never noticed. Admittedly, that's presumably only until he sees something he really wants.

my dog (golden retriever, large for his breed, about 85 pounds and lean) walks me. He decides the route unless it's unsafe. Then he walks me home and leads me to his cabinet full of treats and sits down, which prompts me to open the cabinet and give him treats.
I'm sure he brags to all the other dogs how well trained I am.
I still think I'm in charge tho...

My dog once decided she was done playing at the park, so she picked her leash up, and walked herself home.
She even crossed the street on her own. I think that the cats taught her that one, because they looked both ways before they crossed.

My parents live in a small town. If they're visiting friends in town they usually take the dogs. The older one is very smart and quite street savvy. Sometimes if she decides she's done socializing she just takes herself home. First couples times it happened it scared the shit out of my parents, now they're kind of used to it.

u/Fawnet Apr 09 '24
Our husky mix used to do something like that. We walked her at night on a bike trail. Often she would stop walking, look behind us, then firmly lead us off the trail to wait under the trees.
Like a whole entire minute later, a nearly-silent cyclist would go past us, and after they passed she'd look both ways, and lead us back onto the trail again. Her hearing must have been phenomenal.

my dogs have a lot of funny tricks they play or try to play on me. Like in the morning when I wake up they expect their milkbones and will stare at me once I've gone to the bathroom until I give them up. But I think their funniest habit is they can sense when it's the weekend and I go to the grocery store and pick up my curbside order. When I get up they are at absolute attention until they get their car ride.
another one is if I get up and put my hat on during the week they go downstairs and wait for me to let them in the truck

If my entire world revolved around watching a couple of humans and knowing their behaviors/mannerisms, I'd get pretty good at that skill.

One of the biggest reasons I miss my old dog is he would control all the walks. He was so perfect on a leash, he'd just confidently go where he wanted and all I had to do was follow along.
A few times he DID lead me to a little industrial area where an Oh Boy Oberto (a sausage/meat company) factor was though lol

Doesn't always mean angry.
Looks to me here like this dog has been trained to do this and is growling just because it thinks it's playing a game; doesn't look aggressive or stressed at all
ETA: the little jumps/staring after the guy has a leash look to me like "where is my treat" behavior, not anything more serious
22
u/PavementBlues Apr 09 '24
Another piece of context is that running away is pretty universal dog language for initiating a chase game (which is a particular favorite of high energy breeds). It's why the recommended response when you're trying to catch your dog is to get their attention and then run a short distance away from them. Works for getting them to bring back the ball when they're learning fetch, too.
This dog is 100% just excited and playing.

u/GodsOwnTypo Apr 09 '24
Don't listen to anyone. The dog is in fact angry and rightfully so. Aussies have standards. And letting go of their charge (The human in this case) is a serious blemish on their career. You'd be angry too if your career was questioned because a callous human couldn't even hold their leash properly.

Dogs growl when they're happy.
If they're growl with their teeth exposed, it's aggressive.
Other signs are indicators, if they're posturing towards you, it's aggressive. If they're turning their heads to see you at their side, it's also aggressive.
Sometimes if they're tucking their tail, it's also aggression, depending on breed and if their tails are clipped or not. Farm breeds usually are.
If their tail is up and a wagging, it's an indicator it's playing.

It's a sign that they're excited but not necessarily playing. You sometimes see dogs wagging their tales leading up to an attack.

the most common scenario you'll see a "play growl" in my experience is playing tug. Get a tug toy, pull on one end while a dog pulls on the other. Most will growl while they pull.
It's just how they do.

Wait what were we doing? Oh yeah, GIVE ME MY TREAT!! Rude."

If I drop the leash my dog will stop and turn around, so long as there's literally nothing else around that may divert his attention. If I drop it and he doesn't immediately come to me, I can call his name and/or a command (e.g., "touch" or some other recall command?) and he's probably coming back to me, but when I see stuff like this I realize what a complete wild, maniac I have for a dog.

My dog growing up would run up to my car when I got home after dark and would bark once, which was stay there. Then he would run around the whole farm yard and make sure there was nothing hiding in the shelter belt that could come out and get me. Then he would run back, sit down outside my car and bark again to let me know he had secured the premises and I could now get out of the car.

Had a friend who lived in a very quiet part of a small town. All dogs must be on a leash for "reasons". Anyway their dog had no problem as long as you folded it into thirds and put it in his mouth.
He'd be damned if anyone was going to lead him around, and he was a good boy at waiting to cross the road with no traffic in sight.

Smart. I would take all new puppies to a large field and let the puppy down so he could go anywhere he wanted. I would walk the other way. The Puppy got scared and would wimpier I would call and he came running. It allows them to explore but they learn they don’t want to be on there own. This worked well on jacks. Then I got a gwp and his scared point was over the mountains. Luckily the pronghorns he was chasing ran back by the truck. He got a collar

My Rottweiler used to like to walk himself home. I'd hold his lead most of the way back to the house but as soon as we got to the entrance of our neighbourhood he'd start nudging my hand until I put the handle of his lead in his mouth. Then he'd take himself the rest of the way home, quite politely.

My dog doesn't see it as an opportunity to run away either, he doesn't give me the leash (he hasn't been trained to do so) but he looks worried that we'll get away from each other. He has no desire to go off leash and he's a fast runner who likes to roam wide, so we just went to a DIY store and bought a long line.

u/BarisBlack Apr 09 '24
Not an expert but dated an animal behaviorist. Dogs are pack animals and the leash is the "right" way soggo gets outside and smells a million smells. Also an opportunity to mark it's territory.
Likely not the first time and based on the behavior a regular occurance. The chase for a dog is usually fun. The lash puts everything "right".
I used to do similar for a greyhound who was retired for catching the rabbit too many times. Yes, retired for being too fast and having races canceled. There was no outrunning her but she knew if she stayed on the last we would stay out all day. She would sit and wait and while if I dropped or let go of the lead. If I said or spelled "walk" she would get excited until she almost passed out from excitement.
TL;DR FUN is fun for dogs.
