The word tantrum usually has a negative connotation to it. You picture a toddler throwing a fit in the middle of the grocery store or an unhappy and hungry infant on her first plane ride. But dog tantrums? Those we have no problem with, and in fact, they're some of our favorite pup moments ever.
Whether a pup is frustrated they can't stay longer at the park or that dinner time is over, they throw some of the cutest fits we've ever seen. It's so hard not to laugh!
Here are some of our favorite online pup tantrums, from feisty Boston Terriers to sassy Huskies.
Funniest Dog Tantrums
This viral Ukranian rescue pup named Ditta is well known for her adorable butt wiggles and goofy smile. In love with her new life and adoring humans, Ditta wants to squeeze every fun bit out of life that she can. This means throwing a bit of a temper tantrum when it's time to head home after a walk. It's so hard when a fun time comes to an end!
If you are a lover of Golden Retrievers and you don't follow Drake the Golden, what are you even doing? This charming pup has over 1.5 million followers and has gone viral time and time again for his perfect face and big, fluffy paws. With such a handsome face, it's no surprise that Drake assumes he will get everything he wants, right? Wrong. When the sweet boy isn't allowed to bring his indoor toys outside, he goes a bit berserk. We're talking full tail-wagging, staring-out-the-window barks! It would be so hard to say no to this face.
I don't know about you, but Noodle from @noodleandtilde is literally my dream dog. A long-haired Dachshund with a feisty personality? Yes, please. His mom, Tilde, said they had 5 more minutes to wait until their walk, and what did this guy do? He took it personally. Immediately, he started hopping across the hardwood floor, sneezing, barking, and even staring up at her with his huge brown eyes. Seriously, any of those moves would've worked on us, ASAP.
If there's one breed who will test your patience and simultaneously tear out your heartstrings, it's a Husky . These gentle giants have some of the biggest personalities we've ever seen, and they have no problem telling you exactly how they feel! The popular husky duo Leia and Archer refuse to hop back into the car once their walk is over. Even when their dad tells them to stay, they run in circles away from him, silently but firmly telling him, No.
Is there anything cuter than Miniature Dachshund sisters? Honestly, I can't think of a single thing better. Puppy siblings Digit and Pip run the internet with their big brown eyes and fluffy coats, charming their viewers one sweet paw stomp at a time. Speaking of paw stomps, Digit and Pip will always incorporate them into their tantrum routines, as well as back leg kicks, "bouncy huffs," and what their owner calls "pigeon noises." These are the tiny grunts these babies make when they don't get what they want. We can't get enough!
Chances are, you probably saw this viral video of Chili the Greyhound when it blew up on the internet last fall. Heaven forbid Chili's mom waits until the correct time to serve her fur baby dinner because this pup will immediately let her know she is not having it. The huge, bounding jump onto the bed with a full snout cam is the cutest thing we've ever seen. Her tantrums might be invasive, but they're just too adorable.
I don't think we've ever seen an angry face on a Golden Retriever before today. This boy really means business! TikTok user Josie posted a video of her adorable senior Golden named Ben, who somehow got ahold of a tempting bag of Hot Cheetos. Before she knew it, Ben was totally guarding the bag with his life, even baring his teeth at her when she came near to grab them! If there's one food item that can make even a Golden act like a monster, it's Hot Cheetos.
It's Remy's world, and we're all just living in it. This beyond-cute Labrador has melted our hearts ever since she was a puppy, and this video from her baby days is a classic. If you're ever feeling blue, this will definitely cheer you up and make you want to hug a dog ASAP. When Remi was a baby, she refused to fall asleep, instead staying up to talk back to her humans, which they caught on camera. While gnawing her toy and looking up with her big blue eyes, Remy honestly made some really good points.
Adopted Golden Retriever siblings Scout and Cash may have come from different countries, but they are deeply bonded at heart. This adorable duo are polar opposites in so many ways, but one thing they can always agree on? Cuddle sessions until Scout decides that she's had enough. This time, Cash would not let his sister get up, and even though she could easily stand if she wanted to, Scout simply lay under his paw, whining for absolutely no reason. Was it cute? Absolutely. Did he even let her get up? Nope.
Any dog with the funny name Potato is sure to have a wacky personality, and this pup is no different! Despite the fact that it was only 7 a.m. on a Sunday morning, Potato wanted to make sure his human knew that it was time to get up. Thus began the adorable Potato tantrum, including countless snuffs, pounces, nose shoves, and jumps. Okay okay, we're up we're up!
Dog mom Meghan has one of the cutest adopted babies we've ever seen. This precious Pit Bull boy is only 10 months old, but he's already made a name for himself on the internet. Last year, Meghan posted this video of an adorable "argument" between her and her pup. She told him over and over again he wasn't allowed to look in the mirror because he would knock it over and break it. But that clearly wasn't a good enough reason for this dude! He had several points to make, and we think he nailed every single one.
Boston Terrier lovers, this one's for you. Sweet Punkie has one of the more squish-able faces we've ever seen, and her precious underbite kills us every single time she pops up on our feed. From her post-bath zoomies to her absolute hatred of her walk harness, Punkie has the most expressive face for a pup. And during this tantrum, she let her mom know exactly how she felt. When Punkie's human let her know they couldn't play frisbee because of Punkie's recent foot injury, this girl had a full-blown meltdown. Her high-pitched yelps are too much!
Also known as "the Goodest Boy You Ever Did See," Pit Bull boy Cheerio has totally captured our hearts, thanks to his feisty personality and lovable face. His mom jokes that even though she thought she was getting a sweet, quiet pup when she adopted Cheerio, he turned out just a little more sassy than she expected. We're talking full-side-eye and massive whining fit when he's not given his chosen seat on the couch. His tiny chirps of discontentment? Too cute.
This 70-pound Husky boy totally has our hearts. Adopted from a tough background, Milo now has the sweetest family who treats him like the prince he is. Thanks to this incredible treatment, sometimes the boy gets a little spoiled. Like this time when his humans had to tell him not to eat their crab rangoon! This boy full-on buried his head under a pillow and wouldn't come out, giving his parents the silent treatment. What a sassy teen!
If you've never seen a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever in action, then you might need one after watching this video. Frank is a 9-month-old pup with a shiny, golden coat and an irresistible face. His mom has been posting videos of him since he was a tiny baby, and he still throws the same infant tantrums! When his family cooks steak, Frank is absolutely appalled that the finished product isn't for him. From the stovetop to the dining room table, Frank whines and barks with determination, knowing he'll probably get at least one bite for being such a cute boy.
Let's be honest, though, dogs could throw a million tantrums, and we'd still think they're the sweetest things to ever walk the earth. We simply don't deserve them!
