Boogie is shocked and surprised that the dog he's put no
actual training into, rarely takes for walks, and visibly dislikes even to the internet ended up fighting with the beloved golden child Sammy. I love how even though it doesn't seem like he actually witnessed the scrap, at first it was the two dogs getting into it but he's already shifted responsibility for it onto Leo and his 'food aggression' by now. If he didn't see it, how did he even arrive at this conclusion? If Leo
has previously displayed food aggression, what the fuck is going on with the single pile of food on the floor?
The idiot literally takes them for 'walks' (AKA the front yard) with Sammy off-leash and Leo leashed, something
widely known for causing issues with power dynamics in dogs. Isn't it strange that his FBI, sorry I mean professional animal trainer friend, who is over weekly hasn't ever pointed this basic fact out to him? Or ever offered to help Sammy get accustomed to a leash for that matter? We literally
saw his weekly friends in the doc, which one was the professional dog trainer again? He says he has this friend like it's a positive good thing that reflects well on him, but it's actually the complete opposite. Shouldn't he have incredibly well-behaved dogs if he really did have a weekly professional trainer coming over? He's never thought to ask this totally real person for some pointers on how to leash Sammy, or enrolled in one of their classes for even basic obedience? It's like he's talking about witnessing a drowning and saying 'and i totally had a lifering next to me the whole time guys!', yeah but you never fucking threw it until after it happened moron!
Don't even get me started on what kind of shit owner allows a pet they have zero physical control over to run around off-leash in the first place, 'oh but they listen to me!' says every retard as they scream repeatedly while their animal completely ignores their increasingly desperate commands. This is something I see more and more and is a serious pet peeve of mine, leash laws are there for a reason and no one is a special snowflake with an exception (
especially in a fucking residential neighbourhood in a city).
If Sammy chose not to listen to Boogie, his physical condition means it's
virtually impossible for him to get that dog under control again. If Sammy was outside and didn't want to be caught by Boogie he wouldn't be, so the fact he's ever allowed off-leash AKA not under his direct control is fucking absurd. Just imagine some kid that Sammy decides he doesn't like is walking through the neighbourhood someday, Boogie would be totally useless. It doesn't matter how old he is either (even though Boogie keeps trying to bring it up), dogs can get weird and strangely aggressive with age.
IN FACT it's a known phenomena that dogs who have been perfect joys all their lives can suddenly develop very aggressive resource guarding as seniors (which would perfectly explain this situation), but Boogie doesn't seem willing at all to even consider that Sammy could have been the source of conflict. My heart legitimately breaks for Leo, that poor dog didn't ask for any of this.
5 tricks and commands? So Boogie has put basically the bare minimum training in, nice. I think if he thought Twitter wouldn't explode, he would absolutely get rid of Leo in a heartbeat. I can't even remember him ever talking about Leo like this... 'It's a meme but kinda true how I prefer the one dog' is a bizarre thing to admit to me, the fuck? Why would it even be a meme in the first place if it wasn't plainly obvious? Is he saying he just pretends to hate Leo?
