Dog Being Carried Off by the Police for ‘Ruff Behavior' Is Too Funny
Dog Being Carried Off by the Police for 'Ruff Behavior' Is Too Funny originally appeared on PetHelpful. Uh oh, Paw Patrol has arrived! People in a waiting room were cracking up after seeing security cart off a dog in the most hilarious way possible. They were taking him away just like they would a human! Guess his behavior was too ruff. Miroslava Banda was caught off guard by the unusual sight. It's not everyday you see a pup caught red handed. Luckily Banda had her phone out when the funny incident happened. We don't know what the dog did to deserve being taken out of the waiting room like this, but he's innocent! We just know it. He's a good boy officers, we promise!People in the comments section were cracking up. 'The way he's being escorted,' wrote one person. 'Couldn't [they] just pick him up at least??' someone else wondered. 'Why are they sooo aggressive!!!! Whatever they said he did, he didn't do it!!!' joked another commenter. 'That doggy has the right to an attorney,' teased another person. Obviously this is all in good fun, but the clip does serve as a gentle reminder that you should probably use a leash to remove your dog from a room — not their paws! If your pup misbehaves at home, we'd say this is a pretty extreme way to get them to listen. Instead, you want to teach them discipline without doing any lasting harm on the pup. Think about using positive reinforcement instead of negative. Attention could be the best way to train your dog to know the difference between wrong and right. Attention is a reward to a dog, so if you notice them doing something wrong it's actually better not to react. Instead, ignore the behavior and redirect them to something you want them to do. You can also use a calm noise interrupter to stop their unwanted behavior. Just keep calm, your dog can pick up on your energy more than you think. Sadly, we don't know what happened to the dog after the video ended. But we'd like to think the pup got to speak to his attorney and demanded a lawyer! Looking for more PetHelpful updates?
