A mom did not have to do much to rage bait her dog in this hilarious Instagram video from @rustythegoodboygsd — she just mocked him in his own language. Rusty the German Shepherd just wanted to stand there looking handsome and enjoy a peaceful moment at home. But then his owner decided to stir the pot. In the video, Rusty’s mom tries “rage baiting” her dog, and Rusty seemingly asks her to “stop.”
Dog tells mom to ‘stop’ when she rage baits him like this in funny video
The video shows the dog mom testing Rusty’s patience by trying to rage bait him. It opens with the German Shepherd facing away from the camera, minding his business, while the on-screen text reads, “Rage baiting my dog for fun.” Then, his mom mockingly barks at him, and all hell breaks loose.
A shocked Rusty immediately turns his head to his mom and barks right back, refusing to let the mockery slide, but his owner does it again, prompting Rusty to answer again with the same energy and attitude. He then pauses for a few seconds, grabs a stuffed toy, and shakes it aggressively, as if trying to burn off the annoyance his mom just caused. In the caption, Rusty’s owner jokes, “I think he told me to stop making fun of him.”
The back-and-forth might feel familiar to anyone who lives with a chatty dog, especially considering that dogs often respond to tone and rhythm as much as actual words. Hence, many like Rusty will “talk back” when they hear a sound that resembles their own vocal cues. Besides, German Shepherds are famous for being alert and expressive, which is why we get Rusty’s instant reply to his mom trying to rage bait the dog in the video.
All in all, Rusty refuses to lose. He hears a bark, and he knows better than staying silent, and when it is all over, he takes it out on the toy.
