Dobermans are often seen as watchful guardians of their homes and people. While this can be true, they are also known to be divas. They're a breed who understands how to lay the guilt on thick to get what they want.
This darling Dobie is a perfect example of these theatrics. Take a look at this video, shared on July 29, to see a compilation of adorable dog's priceless tantrums.
Cowboy's (@ honkifyoulovemydog ) parents may have thought that getting a dog instead of having kids would prevent managing tantrums, but nothing could be further from the truth. When this charming fellow doesn't get his way, he doesn't hesitate to tell them with his expressive whining. His adorable face and his pathetic sounds make him pretty hard to resist. But when he's really upset, like when they're hugging without him, he takes a tantrum to a whole new level, throwing himself on the ground, barking and thrashing around. LOL! It seems most of our dogs aren't fans of seeing their parents hug if they're not included, but this dramatic performance could win him an Oscar.

Managing Canine Temper Tantrums
Children need to be shown they can't have everything they want whenever they want it, and dogs can be taught similar impulse control . It's important that we remain calm when they exhibit behaviors we don't want to see and positively reinforce the ones we do. Although it can be tricky, ignoring attention-seeking behavior can be an effective way to discourage it. Regular training, exercise, and mental enrichment can also help mitigate unwanted behaviors.
People were familiar with these hilarious meltdowns. Viewer @GalaxyHoneyBunny reported, "Sometimes, my dog wakes me up every 2 hours to give him pets, attention, get water and snacks throughout the night, and I was like you're a 2-year-old newborn." Yikes! That's needy, for sure. Viewer @C remarked, "Literally. I had to leave the beach early because my Corgi started to cry and whine. The joke was on him. When we got home, he got a bath." That was a harsh lesson to learn if he's not a fan of baths. Viewer @ChemistryMama responded, "My Rottie hates it when my husband and I hug or kiss in her presence. She squeezes between us and sits on our feet, rumbling until we give her love. So adorable, though!" They all know how to make their presence and opinion known, and their cuteness lets them get away with a lot!
It seems getting a dog instead of having children is ineffective for avoiding tantrums. Perhaps having one of each is the best approach. That way, they can throw fits for each other.
