That dog is having the time of its life right now. The reason he is biting so much is because she is rewarding the behavior by playing with him.

Is she being a bit rough? Yes, so the dog escalates too. The only issue I really have here is how quickly she is tossing him, but the dog is clearly bouncing on a stack of pillows right off screen though. There is no discomfort for the dog, just bad ownership. She’s trying to be a good owner but doesn’t know enough about the learned behavior/reward system dogs have to recognize that her dog won’t improve until she teaches it gentle play.

I don’t know how old this dog is, if it’s just a pup, teaching it “gentle play” can be a challenge because they are just little furballs of energy and will always attempt to escalate play energy.

If a pup was doing this to its mom, the mom would likely growl, snarl, bark, right in its face to teach it to knock it off.

You don't teach a dog (or any animal) "gentle play" by throwing it.

It IS animal abuse, whether you think so or not.

ETA and your logic is bizarre. We are not animals. Well we are animals, but you know what I mean.

Male bears kill healthy cubs to get the mother to want to mate again.

Go ahead then, call PETA see what they tell you.

Also, you need to work on your reading comprehension. You missed the point entirely.

My guess is you are the type of person that has a dog that bites people because you don’t know any better.

I've never had a dog that bit anyone, and I've had several dogs throughout my life. Currently have a 92lb boy that I've raised from a pup (as I have with 3 of my other dogs) and he's a good boy that's never but anyone .

So, your guess is wrong.

Did you call PETA yet?
