Some pups practically jump with excitement the moment they see their leash, while others turn the experience into a playful battle of wills.\u00a0For one dog owner and her mischievous <a href=\"https:\/\/dogtime.com\/dog-breeds\/golden-retriever\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Golden Retriever<\/a>, Bear, that playful standoff has become a daily ritual, and a hilarious video of it has everyone online grinning.<\/p>\n<p>Video captures Golden Retriever\u2019s \u2018daily standoff\u2019 with owner and leash<\/p>\n<p>Bear has made quite an impression on Instagram after his owner posted a video showing their daily \u201cstandoff.\u201d The clip begins with Bear\u2019s mom approaching him slowly with a leash in her hand. Instead of greeting her with enthusiasm, Bear freezes in place and locks his eyes on her every move. It\u2019s as if he\u2019s assessing her strategy, preparing for what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n<p>As she inches closer, Bear\u2019s tail begins to wag; first slowly and cautiously, then faster and faster, signaling his excitement and mischief brewing. Just as she gets within arm\u2019s reach, Bear bolts right past her with comedic timing. His mom can\u2019t help but laugh, calling the whole scene a familiar experience for \u201cdog moms\u201d everywhere. Her caption reads, \u201cDog moms will get it,\u201d and judging by the flood of comments, she was absolutely right.<\/p>\n<p>One viewer noted, \u201cLove how his tail gets faster as she gets closer lol.\u201d Another said, \u201cThat is so golden behavior!\u201d Someone else broke down the moment accurately: \u201cThe stare. Then the tail breaks form. Then you are done for.\u201d One fan even turned the scene into a mock duel, writing, \u201cYou know when to draw your weapon when that tail starts wagging then you got the drop on \u2019em. Tail is a dead giveaway in a duel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Bear\u2019s game is harmless fun, putting on a leash the right way is important for every dog\u2019s safety. Experts recommend letting dogs sniff and get comfortable with the leash before clipping it on. Always ensure the collar or harness fits snugly but not too tight. As such, you should be able to slip two fingers between it and your dog\u2019s neck. Moreover, rewarding your pup with treats or praise can help them associate the leash with something positive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anyone who\u2019s ever tried to take their dog for a walk knows that it\u2019s not always as simple&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":321756,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[37512,1165,69437,159,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-321755","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-science","8":"tag-golden-retriever","9":"tag-lifestyle","10":"tag-lifestyle-news","11":"tag-science","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115413461560030694","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=321755"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321755\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/321756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=321755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=321755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=321755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
