And they certainly had a good laugh with this wholesome content in which the dog owner laughingly refers to her dog as a 'demon'.
The woman tries to take the trash out in the video, but the dog starts attacking the bin wheels. The woman tries to ward the dog off but the dog’s aggression bests her, and for a moment, she lets it go.
She returns a few moments later, adamant not to be bested by her best friend. She tries to grab the bin again and the dog drags the bin away. The battle for the bin continues and another dog encircles it like a wild animal lurking behind its prey.
Dog Behaviourist tells Briefly News why the dog may have acted that way
Dog behaviourist George Van Huyssteen told Briefly News that the dog's behaviour must be seen in context.
"There might be different reasons for the behaviour. In some cases, dogs might not know what that bin is and might see it as an impending threat. They might react with fear to the bin, and from their 5F fear system, might employ the fight option to protect themselves and others from the bin "monster". This usually happens if a puppy has not been socialized with objects like dust bins, vacuum cleaners, lawnmowers, etc., during their critical socialization period between 4 and 16 weeks.
"Another possibility is that a dog might want to herd it and keep it in its place. Dogs like Border Collies and sheepdogs all have herding "instincts" and might herd it and bite it because the behaviour is hardwired in their brains. Whatever the reason, people tend to reinforce those behaviours because, at times, it is funny, so they keep on "playing" with the item and laugh while doing so. In the video it looks more like the dog is protecting his environment from this "monster" however. Still, more footage is needed to say for sure what is going on," he said.
