Ok this bothers me to no end, idk about anybody else.
But have you ever seen America's Funniest Home Videos? Or Planets Funniest Animals?
Well these morons send in these videos of their dogs that are spinning around insanely while barking for no reason, desperately chasing a laser light, snarling and snapping at it's own foot and they seem to think that they are funny.
There is NOTHING funny about fixations! There's NOTHING funny about serious psychological behavior problems that aren't healthy and need to be fixed! And here the owner thinks it's the dogs personality and instead of hiring a behaviorist to help the dog, they are wasting time taping it and laughing and then wasting postage to send it in to have it aired on national television for the rest of the world to laugh about a poor dogs behavior problem.
I see dogs with these issues every day when I walk my dog. There is nothing sadder than a dog who is cooped up in a yard and given no attention or exercise who has nothing better to do than to pace back and forth so much there is a path in the dirt or a dog who spins around in a circle before hitting it's nose against the fence and then repeating the process so much that it has created a little ditch in the ground. There's nothing sadder than a dog who does nothing but grab the chain link fence in his mouth and pull while snarling or growling.
