Dog Picks Up Knife And Scares His Walker!

Dog Picks Up Knife And Scares His Walker!

Some dogs love picking sticks while walking, and there's usually nothing wrong with it. However, when the stick becomes a knife, things can quickly become dangerous.

A dog walker, Matt Paprocki, was left scared when a Great Pyrenees he was walking, Theo, picked up a knife and started wielding it around.

 

Matt and Theo were on their usual walk when Matt noticed Theo had a shiny object in his mouth. On close inspection, he realized the object was a knife. Immediately, Matt commanded Theo to drop the knife, but the dog didn't listen. Rather, he continued to wield it around, leaving Matt confused about what to do next.

"I'm 42. I've owned dogs my entire life. Somehow I was totally unprepared for this moment," Matt said in a video he shared on Twitter with Theo holding the knife. Thankfully, Theo's parents knew exactly how to handle the situation. They rushed home from work with salmon and whipped cream and got Theo to trade the knife for the treats.

 


 

Teaching your dog to drop or leave things remains the best way to get them to let go of things they shouldn't have. It is much more effective than chasing them or forcefully trying to take things off them by hand. You can teach your dog to "drop it" using treats or toys, depending on what motivates them the most.
