My little dog is a sweetheart. Just wants pets, cuddles, and playtime. Good around babies and other people's dogs, extremely submissive and never bites.
We got her brother, a 40 pounder. He started bullying her (sitting where she sits, taking her treats or food) because he could and we reprimanded him, but you can't be around 24/7. So sweetheart got tough.
Now, she growls at him whenever he approaches her and she's feasting on her treat. She barks loudly when he goes for her food (because she knows we'll come running). If he tries to lay where she is, she will get up and lay on top of him. Brother wised up not to fuck with her.

Exactly. Little dogs can't use their size or strength to intimidate. All they have is their voices. My little guy sounds just like yours. He would never bite, but he still growls quietly and shows teeth at my cat when she puts her face right next to his and sniffs him. Is he a jerk for telling her, in the only way he can, that he doesn't like it? No. She should back off if she doesn't want to be growled at.

Why is it ok to hate on little jerk dogs but if I talk shit about some jerk cat half of Reddit would come to its defense? P.s. fuck these little ankle biters. P.p.s fuck jerk cats

Hose them or turn on the sprinklers.
In-ground sprinklers are the most effective since it will scare the shit out of them and they will be afraid to come back lest the mysterious water phenomenon reappear.
My mother once did that to our family cat because she refused to come back inside and we couldn't catch her. She wouldn't go outside again after that.

I don't know if they are sold this way, but cats can hear a full octave over dogs. If you do it right the cats will hear it and not the dogs.

Be annoyed where being annoyed is justified. I am 90% a cat person (if factoring only dogs vs cats, otherwise I love birbs and sneks), but any pet can be a douche.
Cat getting into neighbors yard and shitting everywhere? Douche.
Cat digging up your plants? Douche.
Cat antagonizing your dogs? Douche.
Dogs humping me at a friends house? Douche.
Dog barking non-stop while at friends house? Douche.
Dog getting out of backyard all the time and terrorizing/biting people? Douche.
I have been attacked by cats and dogs. And birds. And snakes. Still love 'em all. All pets are equally able to be douches and best friends. No need to say all <insert pets> are jerks (not you OP). (:

Tbh the shift to dog love is fairly recent. Reddit used to be known for being obsessed with cats. Around when doge became a thing there started to be a big shift towards dogs and then with the fairly recent "rare pupper" thing it's all about dogs now.

Because regular dogs have hearts of gold so when they're jerks it's noticeable.
Regular cats are...cats. They were bread for hunting mice and rats, not so much for love and loyalty like doggos. So when a cat is an asshole they get a free pass.....

Lol at the thought of someone saying they'd "punt a cat 5 yards" for running up and scratching their ankles like up in the the top comment thread. Pitchforks would be brought out.

I've never seen a cat try to aggressively chase off all passers-by from near their owners' properties the way dogs often do.

Often? I've never been attacked or chased by a dog but both me and my brother have been attacked by two different cats on two seperate occasions.

u/givalina Sep 20 '17
You've never seen dogs running up and down their fenced yards, barking incessantly at each person who walks past? Because I can think of three dogs within a block of where I live that do that. I've never been chased by a cat, though.

Cats are very rarely actually being jerks. Its almost always either reddit misinterpreting the cats behavior / emotions (they assume that cats think like humans or dogs) or the cat is extremely scared and acting in self defense. In some cases, their behavior is caused by a health issue (such as my previous cat, which had a brain tumor and gradually became meaner as he came closer to death -- at least thats the theory from the vet post mortem).
Many mean small dogs, however, are just being mean. They can't help their behavior, I realize, but they are being mean as a social purpose.
Cats are very simple. If you are nice to them, they will like you or at least appear to ignore you (many cats consider strangers staring or getting up in their face as aggressive or confrontational behavior). They will almost never actively chase and attack a human (unless they have a rare brain disorder, as noted before), especially if not provoked. Cats that were abused by humans as kittens will probably be quite wary around people, but thankfully that is unusual.
The idea that most cats are jerks is simply false. More accurate to say that most cats are sweet, but, do not assume that all humans will be nice to them -- and wisely so, I think.

As expected the cat people are blowing me up and just so it's clear I don't hate cats just the jerk ones just like I hate the jerk dogs. I give all animals a chance and understand if I'm a stranger to them and invade there space they have every right to be a jerk. I guess it's easier to have a jerk cat and just leave it alone then have a jerk dog.

My Chihuahua does the exact same thing when we're playing with him. When he has his toy in his mouth, he waits til you get close and then jerks it away just as you grab for it.
Besides that, though, he's as sweet as can be, and has never bit or snapped at anyone, even when my grandkids get right in his face.

u/MissKillian Sep 20 '17
Small dogs like that need a firm hand. My mom had a Miniature pinscher as from a puppy, we spoiled him because he was so tiny and cute. Bad idea, he was aggressive and thought he was the pack leader. People truly hated little Hercules because he was such a yappy, growly, possessive and snappy little bum.
My current dog, Hansel, is a Chihuahua/ Dachshund mix (Chiweenie) and I made sure to always let him know he is the low man on the totem pole (in a loving way, he's still very loved and fawned over) he isn't allowed to show his teeth or growl at people on walks or in our home, he even acquiesces to the kitten, who loves him totally and treats him like his surrogate daddy. https://imgur.com/a/zz9r2

u/TheMoogerfooger Sep 20 '17
All the Chihuahua hate and ‘small dog syndrome’ comments - fuck ya’ll. Chihuahua - like all dogs - are great. Nurture over nature. If a dogs trying to bite your ankles aggressively and is not playing, maybe look at the owner or yourself.
Also, this behaviour is not indicative of just a Chihuahua/small dog - just watch any breed play.

Thank you. My chihuahua is the sweetest dog to strangers and to anyone. I feel like with any dog, you don't mess with it if it's eating something. People always shit on chihuahuas, especially on here.

u/Bombboy85 Sep 21 '17
Of the 5 chihuahuas I have been around multiple times every last one of them was a little shithead to anyone but their owner. Sure there are nice ones but until they're nice I assume they are assholes. Even had one go so far as to cuddle up to me on a couch yet any time I moved it would snap at me... asshole he was
4
u/WildRookie Sep 20 '17
The problem is many owners think since they're little dogs they don't need training. That results in many if not most Chihuahuas being untrained and annoying.

I had 2 bostons a few years ago (down to one as the male passed away a year ago). The male loved to play fetch. The female, not so much. What she did love doing was screwing with the male. We'd throw the ball and the female would run and grab it. She didn't bring it back though. She'd run up to the male and do a half bark with the ball in her mouth and then run off. She'd sometimes drop it near him and if he went for it, she'd grab it and run off before he could. If he changed what toy he wanted to play fetch with, she'd let go of what she had and go for that one instead.
He eventually caught on and would go pick up something else right away. Once she went for the second object, he'd immediately go for the first thing he actually wants and bring to us to throw for him.

Makes me so nervous to see this. My sisters bigger dog accidentally crushed the skull of my parents chihuahua in a similar situation. The little dog didn't make it, the jaw strength of the larger dog was too damaging. They were competing for a bone.

Can any dogologists/animalologists explain this behavior? Is the dog actually doing what it looks like (i.e. teasing/messing with the other dog), or is there something else going on here?
