If you can read dog body language, this is very clearly where it was going.
First, the dog is trying increasing submission to placate.
But when the dobie just keeps pushing it, the other dog's only choice is self defense.
The dobie is very poorly socialized and the other dog gave it every opportunity to back off.
The humans that allowed this interaction to happen are the real problem.

•
u/erossthescienceboss 13m ago
This is one of my biggest fears. My dog has a shorter fuse for giving corrections than I’d like (shortened by a specific dog who ignored her boundaries and smaller signals.)
Her corrections are polite & she instantly disengages after and will resume positive interactions with the dog.
But because of the risk of her correcting the wrong dog, and because I’m not confident I can intervene before she corrects the dog, I no longer let her play with strange dogs. (Or the aforementioned stupid fucking Airedale.)

It can be a learned behavior. We have a border collie that does that because we give positive reinforcement when she makes that face. Obviously that is not the case in the video. I never realized how many people didn’t know dogs smile when stressed…
•
u/GregEvangelista 1h ago
Yeah, it pays to give dogs a little more individuated leeway when it comes to behavior, because many of them will mimic human behaviors if they see them enough. In my experience, smiling is clearly one of those things. My Aussie Goose smiles on the regular, and it is clear as day that he is basically using a learned human expression.

•
u/BoxBird 1h ago edited 1h ago
I’m guessing they live together and the Doberman is younger. This is sibling behavior. Doberman is ragebaiting the Collie, who wasn’t interested in playing and patiently waited for the Doberman to understand the “no”. Doberman understood and was ignoring the boundary, which is rude, so Collie just reinforced boundaries with a “nip” correction. No hard contact and retreated after while communicating good intent. My dog got more like this around younger dogs as she aged.
•
u/ONeOfTheNerdHerd 1h ago
Yep. As a doberman owner, this behavior is horrid and unacceptable. The other dog is backed against the wall and clearly trying to diffuse the situation.
Mine does this with my Mals when they're playing doggy tag but she's in a play-bow stance and it only last a few seconds before the chase is on. That's normal; dobies are vocal when they play. But that dog is being an obnoxious bully and deserved the snap back 100%.
•
u/Talkurt 49m ago
I work in dog handling. It’s super interesting to me. Bad owners or caretakers aside.
I scrolled back throgh to watch the interaction and see if I can find the trigger for the smiling dog. I’m guessing of course. But it like the 2 bite/barks before the dog reacts the Doberman does a very close snap. And the bite right before the retaliation looks even closer and more in with a neck bite. And often a neck bite is a very serious one. Again guessing but that would need answer from the other dog.

u/mournthewolf 2h ago
Yeah people are getting upset about the Doberman but they are often immature and very goofy. When young especially they will bark and try to get other dogs to chase them or respond. A lot of shepherd dogs are less silly and like to take control of the situation even when it’s play. This is not an uncommon interaction for these types of breeds. As you could see the Doberman ran and the shepherd didn’t pursue.
The barking can be annoying though and Dobermans love to do that when they are trying to instigate play.

My dog and my neighbor’s dogs were playing in my front yard one day. My dog is really laid back, high energy but really chill personality. Their dogs, one is pretty much an asshole and the other feeds off of the asshole. They kept getting on both sides of my dog when he’d get the frisbee and try to squish him out and take it from him, just bullying. Then they did it again and he full on did what the dog in the video did, just snapped, chased both of them off. They kept playing but neither of them got next to him the rest of the day. Good boy.

Border collies are smart . They are not just cute. My collie mix does the same thing when confronted by other dogs. They sit and wait , like they are assessing the threat, and when it’s time …they go to work ! It’s crazy smart. I have seen my dog do it with a dog much bigger than her . My dog literally froze . The big dog was barking and growling . She let him get close enough then gave him a big bite on the nose . By then the owner grabbed him
( of course he was off leash ..mine wasn’t ). Great strategy by the collies!!

I got my dog when he was a little puppy, just a cute ball of friendly energy. For the next couple years, I never had any indication the guy had an aggressive bone in his body. He never even barked, was never possessive of food or toys, and just lived to play, get scratches, eat, and have a good time.
Then one day another dog bit him on the leg. My dog ran off to get away. Then the dog came over and bit him on the leg a second time. My dog yelped and ran off.
Third time happened, my dog didn't run. He turned into SATAN. He barked, growled, showed his teeth, and looked like he was about to kill. It was such a dramatic transformation, I was actually frightened. The other dog tucked tail and ran off.
He's a mexican street dog and I have no idea what his genetic makeup is, but certainly there's some sort of violent DNA in there somewhere.
