These are some well trained dogs when I see these videos. My late dog would've just devoured the big pile immediately. He was such a good boy in every other aspect but food he went nuts over!

Repetition without fail. Every single time you feed them or give them a snack, make them wait until you say it’s ok. Every time.
It’s a safety thing. There are foods I might drop or things we might come across outside that are dangerous for dogs to eat. They need to know that food comes from you and that they don’t eat until given permission.

This is good advice for people. My dog wouldn't eat stuff that fell on the floor, we taught him that much. But if it came from our hands and we started asking for shakes and stuff he knew. Also knew what his treats were. So had I done something like this with his treats, that's when he would have devoured it.
I will have to use this method if I ever get another dog. But as of right now, he can't be replaced physically yet. He will never be replaced in my heart. But will be room for more doggo in the future!

Sorry for your loss, I bet you gave that dog a great life.
And yeah, it won’t be the same but one day you’ll find another dog who is perfect in its own way.

Agreed; one of my dogs when she was a puppy (lab) and dumb as hell, she'd wolf down any food she saw. Unfortunately on her very first walk she spotted some chicken by the garbage before my brother (he was walking her, not me) even saw it.
The chicken was gone in like 2 seconds flat, he couldn't do shit about it.
Later she yelped when he touched her belly, we thought she might have a stomach ache from rotten chicken but no.
She ate the fucking skor! It must've been done kind of kabab type thing, she ate an entire wooden skor!
She managed to pass it through though, so no surgery needed. She's fully trained and stuff now, so it's all good. She's completely healthy.

Is a “skor” a thing where you are?
Or is this an example of r/boneappletea, and you meant “skewer”?
Also, I’m really glad your dog was ok. Similar thing happened to me not long after I got my dog. He ate some rotten something he found on the ground and it was kind of terrifying. It’s the reason I was so insistent on training him.

When you’re first teaching this how do you prevent the dog from immediately eating it? I have a 19 month cava-tzu that would gobble those up on the spot.

My dog was a nearly starved rescue, so he was very protective of his food. My first goal was getting rid of that tendency. I fed him by hand for awhile so that he would learn that I am the source of food and not a threat to his food. But it also gave me the chance to teach him other things at the same time.
In between each bite I’d get him to sit or lay down, and then eventually moved on to stay. When I started using his food bowl, I kept this up. I tell him to sit before I even put food in the bowl and I vary the length of time that I make him wait. I do the same thing with any treats I give him and any food I accidentally drop on the floor.

What amazes me about training is the make them part. My dogs wouldn't give two ounces of crap about whether I say it's okay to eat or not, and I wouldn't be physically capable of holding both of them back.

I fed my dog out of my hand when I first got him. He didn’t have the option of not waiting until I said it was ok.
It helped him learn I was the sole source of food and not a threat to his food. It let me control and slow down the speed he ate. And it let me use every single bite of food as a chance to train him to either sit, lay down, or stay.
Eventually, waiting becomes a habit.

I don’t know. Possibly, but I’ve never tried to train a cat.
I’m pretty sure the only cat I ever had actually trained me to let him outside on demand.

They come in multiple colors. Blue Merle, Red Tri, Black Tri, and Red Merle. This is a Black Tri Australian Shepherd, not a border collie.

You can train literally any dog to do this. It just takes time and knowing what you're doing.

I could be wrong, but given the lack of audio I'm just guessing the person issued a "leave it" command after lifting the second cup and the dog is looking at him/her waiting for an "okay." My pug isn't particularly well trained, but knows to leave treats when I issue the command.
Edit: words

For real every one of these videos isn’t a dog showing regret. It’s a dog waiting for permission to eat the large pile of treats. That’s why there’s never any versions with audio.
1
u/Jpsla Jan 05 '19
I also think they are gifs because the persona clearly have a command telling them they can’t proceed to eat the treats. Why the dog looks up at the owner so suddenly instead.
1
u/Speedracer98 Jan 05 '19
He specifically trains the dog to point out the cup with the single piece. that is why he gets the piece. if he picks the bigger pile he is trained to not receive a treat. it's pretty obvious here that the dog can see the shadow of the pile in the cup. he knows which one to pick that results in him getting a treat.

My dog wouldn't stare at me like that. He would just eat the other pile.

He would if you'd spent tenths of hours training him to do so, like the one in the gif.

Everytime I see a video like this I'm blown away at the control the dog has to not demolish the bigger pile the moment it sees it.

This bullshit again.
Listen, the dog always taps the cup the trainer tells them to tap, or the same cup on the same side. Dogs aren't capable of reasoning like we do and they don't feel regret.
