Một chuyên gia về hành vi của chó đã chia sẻ bài kiểm tra đơn giản mà cô ấy thực hiện để tìm hiểu xem một chú chó con có an toàn để nhận nuôi hay không, và tất cả những gì bạn cần là một cây gậy và một bát thức ăn.
Người huấn luyện chó chuyên nghiệp Gia Savocchi, đến từ Long Island, New York, đã chia sẻ bài kiểm tra nhanh chóng và hiệu quả trong một video đăng lên tài khoản TikTok của cô ấy, @thinkingcanine , trong đó cô ấy được nhìn thấy đặt một bát thức ăn trước mặt hai con chó khác nhau để xem họ phản ứng thế nào khi nó bị lấy đi.
Trong video sau đó được tài khoản @doggykhu vực đăng lại, Savocchi đã sử dụng ‘bàn tay giả’ trên đầu cây gậy để thể hiện các hành vi khác nhau của cả hai con chó, trong đó một con lao vào tay khi cô ấy cố gắng di chuyển chiếc bát của nó. , trong khi người kia không phản ứng gì cả.
“Chúng ta hãy xem sự khác biệt giữa một con chó nguy hiểm và một con chó an toàn, và thử nghiệm cho chúng ta biết điều gì”, cô nói ở đầu clip và nói thêm: “Thử nghiệm cho chúng ta biết liệu một con chó có khả năng gây sát thương nghiêm trọng trong cơ thể hay không”. trang chủ.’
Chuyên gia về hành vi chó ở New York, Gia Savocchi, đã tiết lộ một thử nghiệm mà cô tiến hành để tìm hiểu xem liệu một chú chó con có quá nguy hiểm để được nhận nuôi hay không – chỉ sử dụng một bát thức ăn
Bài kiểm tra bao gồm việc đặt một bát thức ăn trước mặt một con chó, sau đó cố gắng lấy nó ra khỏi người chúng bằng tay giả để xem liệu chúng có phản ứng hay không.
Savocchi đã thực hiện thử nghiệm trên hai con chó khác nhau, cho thấy con đầu tiên (trái) lao vào tay và cắn nó, trong khi con thứ hai không phản ứng gì cả (phải)
Sau đó, người ta thấy cô đặt một bát thức ăn trước mặt một chú chó con đang háo hức bắt đầu ăn nó, trong khi Savocchi dùng bàn tay giả của mình nhẹ nhàng vuốt ve lưng nó.
Tuy nhiên, khi cô cố dùng tay kéo bát thức ăn ra khỏi con chó, nó nhanh chóng tấn công, cắn vào cây gậy trước khi quay trở lại với thức ăn.
“Đây là một con chó nguy hiểm”, cô giải thích trong chú thích. ‘Nếu một người cố gắng lấy khăn giấy của anh ta, anh ta có thể sẽ gây ra thiệt hại nghiêm trọng.
‘Anh ta cũng thất bại trong bài đ.á.n.h giá bảo vệ hàng ngày, ngay cả khi được cung cấp thức ăn không giới hạn 24/7.’
Sau đó, cô ấy thể hiện hành vi chứng tỏ một con chó an toàn để nhận nuôi, thực hiện thử nghiệm tương tự trên một con chó con khác – hành vi này không hề phản ứng khi bàn tay giả với lấy bát thức ăn trước mặt nó.
Giải thích lý do đằng sau bài kiểm tra của mình, Savocchi lưu ý rằng điều ‘quan trọng’ là phải xác định xem một con chó sẽ phản ứng như thế nào khi chúng bị lấy một đồ vật, bởi vì rất có thể đây là điều chúng sẽ thường xuyên trải qua ở ngôi nhà mới của mình.
Cô nói: “Việc kiểm tra cho chúng tôi biết liệu một con chó có khả năng gây thương tích nghiêm trọng cho một người trong nhà hay không”.
Cô tiếp tục: “Trong cuộc sống thực, mọi người sẽ cố gắng lấy đồ từ con chó của họ, vì vậy điều quan trọng là chúng ta phải biết rằng nếu ai đó cố lấy thứ gì đó từ một con chó, nó có thể gầm gừ hoặc cắn nhưng điều đó sẽ không làm họ bị thương”.
Explaining the reason for the test, Savocchi noted that it’s ‘important’ to determine how a dog will react when they have an object taken from them before they go home with a family
The ‘safe’ dog simply backed away from the hand until it was removed – unlike the ‘dangerous’ dog, which attacked it
Many in the comments felt as though it wasn’t a ‘fair’ test because most dogs would react if someone were to take their once-a-day meal
However, many in the comments felt as though it wasn’t a ‘fair’ test, insisting that most dogs would react with frustration or anger if someone were to take their once-a-day meal.
‘I was taught never to interrupt any animal from their eating, especially if fed once a day?’ one person questioned, while another added: ‘I think ALL dogs are adoptable, but some need people with more experience than others. Coming from an owner that has a dog with resources guarding.’
One person voiced sympathy for the animals, pointing out that they may have been neglected in the past, which has prompted them to act more aggressively when it comes to guarding their food.
‘This setting is a tough test,’ the user wrote. ‘I realize why it’s done. But it’s unfair and breaks my heart. They know no one in the room. And have been neglected.’
But others said animal shelters were unable to house all dogs so had to find a means of separating those that are adoptable and those that aren’t.
‘I don’t understand why some people don’t understand some dogs were purposefully bread to be dangerous and they can flip at any time!’ one user wrote.
Top vet names the five VERY surprising dog breeds she would NEVER own and those she loves the most
Previously, a veterinarian revealed the five dog breeds she would never own – while sharing her top five picks for a future pet.
Dr Whitney Terrell, from Alabama, caused a stir online after sharing types of dogs she would never own due to her experience as a vet in a now-viral TikTok video, with the popular Goldendoodle, or poodle mixes, topping her list.
In second place are German Shepherds and Belgian Shepherds – also known as Belgian Malinois – which Dr Terrell noted require a lot of training in order to be good pets, something that she simply doesn’t have the time for.
She went on to add that she also doesn’t recommend getting short-snouted pooches like French Bulldogs, pugs and Shih Tzus because of their breathing issues.
The animal doctor then shared her most-liked dogs, including Golden Retrievers, mixed-breed pups and Basset Hounds.
Alabama-based vet Dr Whitney Terrell has shared her top five best and worst dog breeds in a viral TikTok clip dividing viewers
The animal doctor caused a stir after sharing her least favorite types of dogs based on her veterinary experience with the popular Goldendoodle, or poodle mixes, topping her list
Dr Terrell said while some poodle-cross dogs are ‘super sweet’, they ‘can’t sit still’ and are prone to a string of health conditions.
‘A lot of them are crazy, crazy hyper, can’t sit still for two seconds. We’ve had some really aggressive ones as well,’ she said.
‘Ear infections out the wazoo, so expensive grooming, they are mixed breed. Too high maintenance for me.’
Coming in at number two on Dr Terrell’s list was a German Shepherd or Belgian Malinois, which she said can be aggressive if not trained properly.
‘They have the potential to be really great dogs, good police dogs, good rescue types scenarios but 95 per cent of the ones that we see in clinic want to bite your face off because they’re not properly trained,’ she said.
Any breed that is brachycephalic, meaning they have shortened or ‘squished’ snouts, like pugs, Boston terriers, French Bulldogs or Shih Tzus did not come recommended by the vet.
‘Some of them are so cute and so sweet but they can’t breathe, literally cannot breathe,’ she said.
‘They snore, I’ve already got a husband that snores, I don’t need anything else. Skin fold dermatitis, allergies, yeasty, smelly, gassy, it’s a no from me.’
Dr Whit’s top five dog breeds she would never own
1. Goldendoodles and poodle mixes
‘Some of these dogs are really sweet but a lot of them are crazy, crazy hyper, can’t sit still for two seconds. We’ve had some really aggressive ones as well.
‘Ear infections out the wazoo, so expensive grooming, they are mixed breed. Too high maintenance for me.’
2. German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois
‘They have the potential to be really great dogs, good police dogs, good rescue types scenarios but 95 per cent of the ones that we see in clinic want to bite your face off because they’re not properly trained.
‘I know I would not be able to properly train them because I have no time. If you’re thinking about getting one of these dogs, don’t do it lightly because they need lots of training, lots of attention.’
Dr Terrell’s list also included German shepherds (left), which she said can be aggressive if not trained properly as well as Chihuahuas (right) which she called ‘ankle biters’
3. Brachycephalic or short-snouted dogs like French bulldogs, pugs, Boston terriers and shih tzus
‘Some of them are so cute and so sweet but they can’t breathe, literally cannot breathe.
‘They snore, I’ve already got a husband that snores, I don’t need anything else. Skin fold dermatitis, allergies, yeasty, smelly, gassy, it’s a no from me.’
4. Chihuahua
‘Not my cup of tea: afraid I’m going to step on them, will more than likely be bit if I had one, they’re usually a one person dog.
‘We’ve got a few that are super sweet, the rest of them are ankle biters.’
5. Chinese crested and hairless dogs
‘The dogs are fine, I don’t like hairless animals. They’re zitty, they’re kind of greasy, same with cats. It’s a no from me.’
Dr Terrell said she doesn’t like Chihuahuas, which she called ‘ankle biters’, as well as Chinese Crested Dogs and any other hairless dogs.
‘Not my cup of tea: afraid I’m going to step on them, will more than likely be bit if I had one, they’re usually a one person dog,’ she said of chihuahuas.
‘I don’t really like hairless animals, they’re zitty, they’re kind of greasy, same with cats – kind of feel like a ball sack – no from me.’
The clip racked up 8.3 million views and some of the doctor’s dog-breed opinions angered animal-lovers in the comments with many disagreeing with her hot takes.
‘I can’t believe the golden doodle is your #1! I’m shocked! I’ve had a ton of dogs in my lifetime. This is the best dog ever and best family dog,’ one viewer wrote.
‘Goldendoodle is literally the best dog I’ve ever owned and ever been around. Literally like a human and ridiculously smart and sweet. Byeeee,’ said another.
‘I grew up with only German Shepherds and they were the best dogs,’ replied a third while a fourth commented: ‘My chihuahua is the sweetest boy ever’.
However not everyone was upset with Dr Whit’s controversial opinions.
‘Doodles, most expensive mutts in the world… agree with you from a fellow vet!’ one woman responded.
‘FACTS. Sorry doodle owners, your dogs are NOT the best dogs,’ a second asserted.
Veterinarian Dr Terrell’s top five favorite dog breeds
1. Basset Hound/any kind of hound
‘They’re smelly, they have a really deep loud bark, they can have ear, back, weight problems.
‘They can sometimes be a little crotchety at the vet but I love them, they’re so sweet. Mine is the best dog ever he comes to work with me every day.’
2. Mutt/mixed breed/strays
‘For number two, I don’t have a picture because it is a mutt, they can look like anything. They are fantastic dogs.
‘They usually don’t have as many genetic or hereditary problems like pure breeds do. They are thankful they have a home. Highly recommend a mutt.’
3. Golden Retriever
‘Love this breed, they are so beautiful, so kind great family dog, this is a good first dog, especially for families. Good temperament, easy to train, love them.’
In a follow up clip, the animal doctor also shared her most-liked dogs including golden retrievers, mixed-breed pups and even basset hounds
4. German shorthair pointer
‘These are beautiful super athletic happy dogs. I honestly can’t think of one I have seen that was not happy.
‘Definitely high energy though, you do not want to own these if you are sedentary, if you do not like adventure, if you do not like taking them for walks every day.
‘These are athletic dogs, they need to be exercised or they will destroy stuff. Love them, great dogs beautiful dogs.’
5. Great Pyrenees
‘They don’t necessarily do great at the vet typically because they are herding dogs. They are out there with the goats, sheep, farm animals, if they’re actually doing a job so a lot of them aren’t used to being inside or around people.
‘They’re not necessarily the best at the vet but I love them I’ve had several, they’ve been the best dogs, I love them so much.’

‘I love them they’re so sweet. Mine is the best dog ever he comes to work with me every day,’ she said.

‘They usually don’t have as many genetic or hereditary problems like pure breeds do. They are thankful they have a home.’
At number four was the German shorthair pointer and in at five was the Great Pyrenees.
‘These are beautiful super athletic happy dogs. I honestly can’t think of one I have seen that was not happy,’ she said about German shorthair pointers.
