English Bulldog Ttung-i: Why Violent Jumping and Mounting Behaviors Are Dangerous

The violent behavior of 'Ttung-i', an English Bulldog raised by a newlywed couple married for three months, suggests the necessity of dog training. According to the November 20, 2023, broadcast of KBS Animal TV : Animal for You animal4u's 'Dogs Are Carefree', Ttung-i shows excessive expressions of affection, such as jumping on people or attempting to mount, and in this process, exhibits behaviors such as pushing the other person or biting their ears.

"Rude expressions that make the other person miserable" The reality of excessive affection

The guardian explained that in situations where Ttung-i touches other dogs, he hits them with his head or rushes at people as if putting them in a headlock. In the video, Ttung-i was shown rushing at people, bumping into their bodies, or attempting to mount. Regarding this, the participant in the video pointed out that while it might be funny for the target, it is very tiring and is a extremely rude expression that makes the other person feel miserable.

In particular, Ttung-i showed a tendency to use force against the guardian to express something, and the video mentioned that such behavior could stem from an anxious state. The guardian reported that since Ttung-i was adopted at 6 months of age, these behaviors have been getting progressively worse over time. It was revealed that Ttung-i has also shown behavior of biting friends even during play sessions with a ball.

Household damage and behavioral problems caused by a life without rules

Upon checking Ttung-i's home environment, it was confirmed that various parts of the house were damaged. The video explained that through the extent of the damage, it can be understood that such behavior is not temporary but has been occurring for a long time or has been repeated many times. This is a sight that can appear when a dog is left to do whatever it wants.

The participant diagnosed that there are basically no rules in Ttung-i's household. This is because rules do not only mean pointing out when something is wrong, but also include teaching the dog how it should live on a daily basis. The guardian confessed that because Ttung-i was so lovely, they could not provide systematic training and simply viewed him as cute and let him be.

The danger of mounting and jumping behaviors mixed with anxiety

Regarding Ttung-i's appearance of rushing at people and attempting to mount, concerns were raised in the video that the behavior itself may indicate the dog's anxiety. In particular, it was mentioned that caution is needed because the positions where dogs jump to bite easily coincide with specific parts of a person. The participant in the video mentioned that Ttung-i looks a bit anxious in the very act of trying to mount.

The guardian expressed difficulty, stating that Ttung-i greets them so violently that they cannot even go to a dog cafe. To restrain the jumping behavior, the guardian has dealt with it by holding Ttung-i, but it was shown that this method is not serving as a fundamental solution. Even during the filming of the video, Ttung-i showed difficulty in being controlled, continuing to move without calming down.
