ABC– […] Ball said that he and his wife, who live in Chickamauga, Georgia, have never had a dog throughout their 15-year marriage. He told his son that it was “his responsibility to learn how to train the dog,” so he suggested looking up YouTube tutorials.
“He got the video all lined up,” Ball recalled, “and then he called the dog over and started playing it directly to the dog.”
They went from “…never had a dog…to “…so the family got a Saint Bernard puppy”
Oy Vey!
Tried it. That shit don’t work.
The puppy learned how to take a nap.
Implement the appropriate YouTubes then eliminate the so-called Dept of Education.
Wonder who’s smarter? The dog? Or. . . . .?
That is a cute picture alright. A St. Bernard is a strange choice for an indoor companion.
“A St. Bernard is a strange choice..?” Any dog is a perfect choice.
St. Bernards are fiercely loyal and protective if I recall correctly.
They have absolutely adorable pups that are as big as full grown toy breeds. A friend of mine had one on a farm and they had a litter of like 13 several years ago. The “nest” they set up for momma dog and pups took up the whole 2 car garage.

I didn’t infer that St. Bernard’s are not good dogs, in fact I like them. I just don’t think they are particularly well suited to be an indoor dog. My sister in law has a Belgian Shepard that she keeps penned up in Seattle. That poor dog needs 160 acres and a herd of sheep. I think the dog is going crazy, some dogs aren’t meant for the life that some people force on them.
Let’s see, stay small, act cute, get lots of treats. Yeah, I can do this. Thanks, kid.
I showed the geese (Pete, Huey, and Daisy) a video of geese cleaning up their pen and eating without tossing their food all over the compound.
They screamed, ran around in circles with their wings out, and one of them (Pete) bit my arm.
Not the best teaching tool. No more videos.
izlamo delenda est …
Does anyone really suspect that a gospel singer is telling his four year old that the entirety of the training burden falls on he alone?
So much context is missing from this fluff piece. My city has a population of 88k. At only 3k, Chickamauga ain’t no city. For all we know, these people live on a farm.
With that out of the way, I agree it is irresponsible for even a part-time outside dog to cohabitate with someone allergic to the outside. Especially a hairier breed like this one that is bound to carry it back inside with him.
Our dog was never interested in anything on TV, but before you give him credit for being smart, he was also pretty leary of the mirror too!
Our dogs never paid attention to the TV until one day a Lassie episode was on. Every time Lassie would bark our Brittany Spaniel would jump up and bark at the TV. She only responded to Lassie’s bark.
