Hey, guys. So take a look at this video.
This was uploaded three days ago.
And it has almost 5 million views.
Man, that dog wants to get out of it.
So many questions arise.
Why does that dog want to get out of there?
And why are the windows boarded up?
Hm... Is this an episode of Breaking Bad
Help me figure out this mystery?
I decided to go around the office
to see what other people think.
Ok. Average dog.
where is he going?
Oh, no. Oh, no.
[Laugh]
I would not trust that dog alone in my apartment.
Dude, that is a desperate dog.
Oh, no. [Laugh]
I don't know what's out there
Or is he trying to go for a snack?
Ouh... is his head stuck?
He's struggling too hard.
It's not going to happen.
Why do you think he was trying to escape?
It's the animal outside. It's probably a cat outside.
So you think it was after something back there?
Yeah, there's definitely something back there.
Like, I don't know, some food leftovers.
The owner hid something,
Like a steak back there.
Like clearly he was so driven,
Like, oh, there's something I need.
Or maybe it's like Homeward Bound,
like that movie.
He's trying to get back to his owner,
Actually, because of separation anxiety.
Ouh...
Poor, right there
I actually heard that even when
An owner leaves just to go to the grocery store,
Dogs think that they're leaving forever,
so they freak out.
Good job, puppy. you good
Have you ever wondered why your pet
chews up everything and makes a mess?
.......
Well, it could be because you didn't train it,
Or it could be because it just misses you.
This is called separation anxiety,
and this dog has it pretty bad.
Did you read the comments on this video?
A lot of people are saying,
"Is this animal cruelty?"
"Why does he board up his window?"
.......
Well, if you read the description,
Andrew Hols Burger said, The dog's name is Bandit,
And he has severe separation anxiety,
To the point where he destroys carpets,
chews wires, and cuts himself
trying to get out of his crate.
According to the ASPCA, there are moderate
to severe cases of separation anxiety.
These may require a more complex solution.
So, they came up with a two-step program.
Step one: pre-departure cues.
When you grab your keys,
Does your dog start pacing back and forth?
It's probably because it
Thinks you're going to leave.
So grab your keys and show your dog that,
Even though you have your keys in hand,
It doesn't mean you're leaving.
You can sit down and relax for a little bit.
This will reduce the dog's
separation anxiety.
Step two:
Graduate departures and absences.
Teach your dog that being alone is okay.
Maybe leave it in the living room
while you go into the bedroom.
In a few minutes, come back and say,
"Hey, I'm still here."
Being alone is not the end of the world.

If you have a dog or
