I think the dog thought the whole thing was a game; The dog repeats the classic play-bow posture, while wagging it's tail. Even the woman is laughing, so I think she knows this is a game, too.
I wouldn't be all that surprised if she had invited that dog up onto the bed five minutes before she went and got the video camera.
That said, of all the things to teach a dog, disobedience shouldn't be one of them.
Growls are never acceptable.
Today the dog thinks it’s ‘fun’.
Tomorrow you get your face ripped off by the monster you foolishly created.
He may have been ‘play bowing’ but to me it looked like a dominant but -very- conflicted dog.
It doesn’t want to bite her..yet also is flaunting its disobedience.
It’s a young dog and is confused by its place in the hierarchy.
Growl/play/bite?
Bad scene.
Bad habit to ingrain.
She’s laughing because she doesn’t have a clue what’s happening.
A “wagging tail” means *nothing* if you aren’t reading the dog’s body language as a whole.
When Odin is wanting to rip apart somebody who messing with him while he’s the truck, his nub is going a thousand miles an hour and I guarantee you that although he may be “happy”, he is *not* playing a game.
