Bringing a new puppy into a home can quickly change the balance of an otherwise calm household. While puppies are often seen as sweet and playful, their energy can be overwhelming, especially for older dogs used to a quieter routine. A recent video captures that contrast perfectly, showing how one Golden Retriever puppy’s behavior has left his canine housemates more than a little uneasy.
Golden Retriever puppy’s behavior terrifies other dogs in the house
The clip, shared by @goldenmase, gives viewers a humorous yet relatable look at what happens when boundless puppy energy meets cautious adult dogs. It opens with text reading, “I was wondering why my dogs are terrified of the new puppy,” as three dogs are shown calmly lounging around the house. That peaceful scene doesn’t last long. The video quickly cuts to the reason behind their fear. The Golden Retriever puppy is shown enthusiastically attacking a plush toy with intense focus. He bites, shakes, and gnaws at the toy with such force that it immediately raises eyebrows, especially among the other dogs watching nearby.
One of those observers is Mason, the older Golden Retriever of the household. As the puppy continues his aggressive play, Mason stares on with a concerned expression. Onscreen text humorously voices his thoughts, suggesting he believes the same fate could soon befall him. Not taking any chances, Mason calmly gets up and walks away, clearly choosing distance over confrontation.
Loki, a Border Collie who also lives in the home, appears equally unsettled. His wide-eyed stare says it all as he watches the puppy’s relentless toy attack. As the owner’s caption notes, “Their eyes said danger.” The puppy, completely unaware of the fear he’s inspiring, remains focused on his toy, channeling all the chaotic enthusiasm typical of his age.
Viewers flooded the comments with sympathy and humor. One person pointed out Loki’s anxious expression, joking, “The look on Loki’s face! Hang in there, buddy.” Others reassured the owner that the chaos wouldn’t last forever, predicting the dogs would become close companions once the puppy matured. Several commenters joked that the older dogs were witnessing a “puppy monster.” Meanwhile, another shared that the video made them feel better about their own noisy home filled with multiple dogs.
