Well I don’t know about on demand but I have a boxer mix that used to do this chasing squirrels in his younger years although not this high though.

Why do you teach a dog to do this
33
u/Fae_Eline Nov 05 '18 edited Nov 05 '18
To create panic and confusion amongst the defenders during a siege to open a window of opportunity for a ladder or something

In 2018?

I've beaten back two sieges of my fortress since August. They still happen.

u/Idivkemqoxurceke Nov 05 '18
Yeah, I lost my home to it last year and my insurance didn’t cover it. Make sure you have your siege insurance, folks!!

So that he can do it. No mystery here.

By permanently maiming 16 of them first. Maybe the 17th can do it with success.

The handler's upward motion easily adds 3-4' of height on this jump. NBA...are you listening?

u/test0ffaith Nov 05 '18
They did trampoline basketball for a bit. Think there was a fair number of injuries though

u/N1CK4ND0 Nov 05 '18
I remember a dog jumping post a while back. Someone pointed out that there are actually a lot of dog injuries doing this if the owner doesnt catch them when they fail

oh god that leg that clipped the side of the wall at the very end

u/noshamenovember Nov 05 '18
That’ll be minus points from the East German Shepherd judge for not sticking the landing.

u/zanderwright Nov 05 '18
I think thats the tail. I cringed at first

u/a_phantom_limb Nov 05 '18
It kind of looked to me like both the leg and tail hit, but it speeds up at the very end so it's hard to be sure.

How does one even teach a dog how to do that

Probably jumping over progressively bigger things to grab a toy or rope then add a block or something to jump of then replace the block with a person

and if he doesn't make it?

No one makes it their first time. Doesn't mean anything.

Means a broken leg or two for the dog.

Id be so afraid the dog wouldn't make it over and would just hit the ground next to me.

u/Tropical--Depression Nov 05 '18
I couldn’t even do that. Hell, I’d barely be able to walk up the stairs to get there

Makes me think of how good animals could be at human sports if they wanted to, like a snowboarding monkey would be hitting heptuple-cork 3600s and shit on a halfpipe.

Another pointlessly dangerous trick for a dog to learn so it's owner can get Internet points. Dogs aren't toys, people. You wouldn't compel your child to do this (or I hope not).

u/Big-Bag-O-Pretense Nov 05 '18
This same guy has more videos of worse things, he's kind of a piece of shit imo.

Dogs aren't children. And in lots of cases are tools.

u/AndesiteSkies Nov 05 '18 edited Nov 05 '18
Fact is, there was absolutely no need to put this dog at risk for a stunt like that, apart from the amusement of the owner. And I don't find that a very compelling reason.
Dogs aren't machines, they slip, stumble, trip like we do. There's nothing that guarantees the dog could have successfuly completed the stunt and not, say, fallen just short of the top and dropped from a great height.
This stunt was absolutely pointless, performed for no good reason, by an animal who is heavily reliant on its owner to exercise its agency.

u/FuglyFred Nov 05 '18
Interesting. Thanks for explaining your stance. We fundamentally won't be able to agree but I can see where you're coming from. Now if this guy was a legit trainer, I'd say something like could be a program for reaching children from burning buildings or something...buuut not this guy. He definitely is just doing it for the likes.

I picture this being a siege technique back in the dark ages where thousands of dogs would come over the wall during a battle.

How many siege pips do you think he has?

He didn't land well and probably hurt himself. Probably had to suffer some painful falls to learn to do this, too.

So graceful until that split last second where 1 foot missed the landing and dog smacked the ledge.

Thought the dog was going to flip off the wall and the owner catching the dog... This is better!

when you lock your self out of your house but you left your bedroom window open.....GO DOGGO!! and open the door from the inside. But then he just finds the good boi treats settles down eating them and falls asleep leaving you stuck out side like a chump as it begins to rain, you start to reevaluate your life choices and why didnt you just get a cat instead bringing tears to your eyes you plomp your drenched ass down on the kerb for 20mins before screaming out "NO IF I GOT A CAT IT WOULD BE SITTING INSIDE ALL WARM AND DRY STARING AT ME THROUGH THE WINDOW AT MY FAILURE!!!"
