Family stages an intervention for their dog that only misbehaves around Grandma

Family stages intervention for their misbehaving dog

Dogs are toddlers in little furry bodies, or at least that how they behave sometimes. They constantly get into things they shouldn't and act like they're hyped up on a batch of Pixy Stix when they are excited about something. Their uncontrollable zoomies can have dogs crashing into walls, furniture and people, without a care in their tiny dog world.

And just like toddlers, their behavior can change based on who's supervising them. In one family, a pit bull named Bishop Ace keeps giving Grandma a run for her money any time she's charged with babysitting him. Jayla doesn't have any human grandchildren and Bishop Ace is her only grand-dog so you'd think he would be nicer to his grandma, especially since he knows how to behave.

Turns out that the pittie has exquisite manners with his mother, Shauna. He loves cuddling with her and listens the first time he's asked to do something, but as soon as mom goes to work, Bishop runs amuck.

But Shauna doesn't believe her sweet little dog could ever do anything as wild as grandma reports, which is exactly why grandma started recording Bishop's hijinks. This is what seems to have led to an intervention with the hyperactive pit bull.

"We want to have a conversation with you," Jayla says. "Because I'm noticing when mom is at work, your behavior is getting worse. You don't listen when grandma says 'drop it,' you run."

Bishop Ace refused to make eye contact for much of the intervention, and when Grandma was done speaking, Shauna gave the obviously guilty dog scratches and denied it was him causing the problem. Even with the video evidence, Bishop Ace is still his mama's baby and can do no wrong in her eyes, so all of Grandma's intervention efforts never work. But if you want to see some adorably hilarious "bad dog" shenanigans you can check out the video from The Dodo below.

Chocolate lab is not in the mood for pets and his reaction is leaving people in stitches

The way he looks her dead in the eye while turning down her affection…

Morgyn Seigfried|TikTok

Dog turns down his owner's pets and the internet is laughing.

Sometimes we're not in the mood to be touched, and the same goes for our pets. While cats are notorious for snubbing humans who dare to touch them without explicit affirmative consent for exactly 3.5 pets, dogs are different. Dogs like to get head scratches, butt pats, and, for some reason, slapped on the ribs somewhat aggressively. I don't know why dog owners do the last one but I've seen it enough to think it's a thing that dogs enjoy.

The point is dogs generally want you to pet them as often as you possibly can, even until it feels like your arms are going to fall off and then some. They try to climb up on your lap because being as close to your cornea as their snouts will allow is comforting to them. But apparently, dogs also get into moods where they don't want to be touched by their humans.

Case in point? Colby, a chocolate lab on TikTok who is simply not in the mood for pets. His reaction to his owner attempting to pet him has commenters in stitches.

Colby looks as if he's trying to relax when you see his mom's hand reach out to pet him. He doesn't break eye contact with his human, Morgyn Seigfried, as he gently pushes her hand away with his back foot. She tries several times, and each time Colby has the same response.

"Let's not make this more embarrassing than it has to be," one commenter wrote.

"He said pet me...WITH YOUR EYES," another person said.

While some were imagining what the dog was saying internally, others just found it hilarious, especially because he uses his hind leg to reject the affection.

"Such a boss move to use the back leg and not the front paw," someone wrote, complete with a crying laughing emoji.

"The fact that he used his rear leg makes the exchange even better," another commenter said.

Colby is clearly over Seigfried's need to touch him, as you can see for yourself below:

Sadly, this wasn't the last time Colby curved his owner. Watch below to see him refuse her kisses just a few months after he pushed her away.

Don't worry, we're sure Colby loves his human. Sometimes, we need some alone time and while that might hurt a few egos, it's nothing personal.

Staffordshire Bull Terrier proves he's a big brave dog by 'barking' like a dolphin

"Miss I think your dolphin is broken."

'Scary' dog makes dolphin noises instead of barking, causing confusion

Staffordshire Bull Terriers are one of the breeds often mistaken for an American pit bull but both are a cross between bulldogs and different types of terriers but they're not the same dogs. Both dog breeds have large block heads and that famous "smile" but they have height, weight, and coat color differences. But one big thing they have in common is their goofy personalities.

Owners of one of these muscular love bugs never know what kind of dramatics they're going to get when they choose them as a pet. You may wind up with a dog that prefers jammies and snuggles over chasing a ball or one that likes to pretend their legs are broken every time it's time for a walk. These dogs will keep you laughing while simultaneously making you scratch your head.

Enzo is a blue Staffordshire Bull Terrier who has decided to trade in his threatening bark for something a little less intimidating. Now, some may think that dogs don't really get a choice in barking or not, they tend to have three factory sound settings: barking, growling and whining. Remember the bit about these breeds being full of personality? Well, that includes trying out new sounds to make in order to communicate with their humans...or to mess with them.

There's really no way to know since they can't talk, but Enzo appears to be teasing his friends on social media with his interesting attempt at a bark. In a recent video uploaded to TikTok, the dog is preparing to eat but when he's told to speak, a chirp like sound comes out. This prompted viewers to ask if the dog knows how to bark so in an effort to prove Enzo does in fact know how to bark, his human tries to get him to do it on camera. She fails miserably.

"Enzo, they want to know if you can do a real bark," the woman says while zooming the camera in on the grey eyed dog. Nothing Enzo did could be considered a bark. Instead of barking, the block-headed doggo does his best impression of a hungry dolphin. After Enzo's attempt, the woman clarifies, "no like a real bark, Enzo. Like a ruff," but her four-legged companion let out more dolphin sounds.

Clearly Enzo is a comedian because his human shares that she's heard him bark so she knows he can do it but the pup is not giving up the shtick. People could not get enough of his refusal to sound like an actual dog.

"I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t that," one person laughs.

"Staffies are all a mix between a dolphin and a velociraptor. i always tell mine no other dog can understand her," another jokes.

"Wrong barking software, needs to be updated," someone else says.

Enzo and his mom continue to make videos showing off the unique way he "talks" but no matter how much chatting happens, viewers never find out what his bark sounds like. Someone even asked if the sweet pup was raised with turkeys to explain his way of communicating but that isn't the case. Through a very squeaky follow-up video, Enzo's human shares that they had been teaching him the speak command and the noise everyone loves is what came out.

The internet may never get to hear Enzo's real bark but there's more fun in guessing how he wound up sounding like Flipper.

Golden Retriever learns to play piano like a pro, thanks to dad's amazing editing skills

But wait. Did he really learn to play piano?

@aguyandagolden/TikTok

All of their videos are so well done.

If you’re not following Jonathan Lower and his golden retriever Teddy on their @aguyandagolden TikTok channel, you’re missing out on some grade A wholesome entertainment. According to an interview with Fox, Lower noticed that audiences were more interested in videos of Teddy than his regular videos home improvement projects. So Lower gave the people what they wanted—extremely well edited skits, all with Teddy as the star. And now, they are both full-time content creators. To give you a taste of what they do, Lower recently posted a video of Teddy revealing some pretty impressive piano playing skills.

In the clip, Lower drops Teddy off at grandma’s for the day, where Teddy is so moved by grandma’s piano rendition of “Beauty and The Beast” that he sheds a single tear.

As soon as grandma leaves, Teddy begins tinkering at the keys, and even pulls up a Youtube tutorial for piano playing. Teddy’s hard work pays off too, because by the time Lower gets back, he’s able to play “Colors of the Wind” like it’s nothing!

Watch:

That wide shot at the end is particularly cool. It really does look like Teddy has turned into Beethoven. The composer, not the movie dog.

Needless to say, people were blown away by Teddy’s talent.

“Johan Sebastian Bark,” one person commented.

Another wrote, “Wow Teddy is a fast learner. When is he going on tour?”

Another just commended Teddy’s acting chops, saying he “should have his own movie.” We are past due for another movie series starring a gifted dog.

Of course, Teddy might be too busy to film, as he’s already taken on other jobs, including electrician, caped crime fighter and “dogtor.” On the bright side, Lower told Fox that they still have plenty of skit ideas to bring to life.

“I have a notebook at home with about 500 to 600 video ideas,” he said. "A lot of them are ambitious and they might take a little bit of time to come to fruition but we think of a lot of short hitting ones and easy ones that we can do now and we knock those out.”

To not miss any of those videos, be sure to follow Lower and Teddy on TikTok.
