When it comes to pinpointing a child’s mistake, gentle parenting is the way to go. And the same applies to dogs as well. We all know sometimes pooches act out. But instead of punishing them, take a hint from this owner whose “Gentle parenting 101” video with her pet dog, Simon, is getting applause from netizens. Even Simon’s reaction is winning everyone’s heart.
Owner gives dog a parenting lesson about his behavior in funny viral video
Next time, when your dog acts out in public and ignores your advice, don’t get upset. Instead, take a moment to sit with your pooch and talk about their behavior. Can’t fathom it? Well, take a clue from this dog mom whose cute video, @simonsits, about “Gentle parenting 101” with her pooch Simon is winning hearts.
In the video, the owner sits with her fur buddy and explains that what the pooch did in the park was way out of line. She begins by telling Simon that screaming at kids during the morning walk was wrong. The girl was “simply existing.” But instead of walking away, the dog “looked at her” and “screamed at her face” for no reason at all. This was not an appreciable behavior.
She then tells the pooch that it was not right to scream and lose his cool at his “mother.” This happened when she tried to remove the poop that was “stuck” in his butt. The canine’s reaction made everyone in the park believe she was “either kidnapping” or “hurting” the dog. This was again hurtful. But despite all this, the owner insists that moving forward they have to “figure out a better system.” She even says sorry to the pooch and conveys that the duo “can get past this together,” before kissing his forehead in the adorable video.
Netizens appreciated the owner’s parenting skills, with one saying, “Oh the mean mugging you’re getting is just hilarious!” Love your parenting style!” Another user agreed and said, “You are so gentle! Don’t ever lose your cool with him? I do with sweet senior pup and I feel soooooo guilty when I do.”
