NOPE! Papillon refuses the Agility course at Crufts 2018 

Lol!!!

We know who runs that household

@@shable1436 YEP! I own a Papillon, and sometimes, they just ain't gonna do it if they don't want to at that moment. I tried over and over to teach Milo to roll over on command, and he flat out refused. Then, suddenly one day, he did it! All for a tasty bit of food he really wanted. I bet the next day, at home, Bingo jumped over everything in sight! LOL!!!!

@@atlladyleo1 thats why I love the Belgian Malinois

This comment sums it all up perfectly!

My papillon acts more like a cat and my kitty acts more like a dog.

@@katrenathacker9226 mine too. They say papillons are the dogs most like cats. Does your pap care about praise? When I praise mine, she doesn't seem to care very much, lol. She's like, "whatever. I'm a good girl. I know."

And beat the cat at his own game!

My Papillon clean her face like a cat and sit on the arm casual like a baby. But she loves praise tho. She is a doq outdoors, though out in nature playing with water and throws stuff up in the air like Ive never seen other dogs play before. She is such a clown. My 3 Papillons have been very diffrent actully.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

When my pap mix sits down on walks and refuses to go any further, 9/10 there is something that's become attached to his fur or a burr in his foot. 1/10 it's his back or patella, and we call my husband and get a ride home. But it's not just "misbehavior".

Believe me she was in a great deal of pain with that rupture,- I have one and it takes 10 months to heal after surgery . Bless her heart painful

That's a papillon. Wants to get the human to comply with their commands. That's how my papillon girl is.

J. Smith same lol they the best tho

That sounds like me in school. I know what is expected of me but I just won't do it if I don't want to

Sounds like me

ellie rue you sound like my daughter. I kept telling her she would regret that. She’s a senior now, she’s regretting it. Good luck to you.

Amen! I see comments about this or that animal being "forced" to do something - rabbits are a big example. Clearly the person has never MET a rabbit, as they cannot be forced to do anything they don't want to do without causing a lot of damage. Same for cats, birds, and a lot of other animals who aren't as domesticated as dogs. People are too sensitive - animals will give you a clear sign when they reach their limit.

People who say agility is cruel are brain dead

we have permanent obstacles set up in the dog park and my dog just runs around doing obstacles herself instead of playing with the other dogs in the park

This is so true. I do agility with my dog and she loves it. Only one time she acted just like tinkerbell. She just refused to do the course (luckily it was during training) it’s even cruel to some breeds (like border collie) whom are made to work not to do any sport because they need stimulation. My dog would go nuts without enough stimulation.

what knob is saying such a thing? many dogs absolutely love it.

😂😂

S. Smith 😆

😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Soo true!!!

LOL!!

Yep, my Peke, also an independently minded breed, can get something in his head and no matter what he won't do as asked. Fortunately it's rare and it always makes me laugh. Love my little clown to bits and wouldn't change a thing.

You just described my daily life =) Cheers!

How true. Ah yes, I remember it well.

Dream-Piper Yes, I very much agreed. 😂😂😂

Thanks for this info. I’ll make sure not to get this type of dog. Don’t need a princess in the house.

hahaha,..... so true !!

My initial reaction, "Shrug, papillons do what they want and no more." So, not surprised lol

@@Jupe367 Honestly its not my experience. They can be a little I will just pee first and then I will come to you. But I dont find them stubborn especialy compared to other breeds, and huskies for exemple more drama queens. One thing ai love about them is they allways close by to their owner if you treat them kind and teach them to be free with you from early age. All of mine follows me and they wont hunt anything except maybe mice (2 out of 3 I had would do so if chance), and think its fun to play with crows but dont take them. Ive had 3 Papillons and they will allways be of my favorites. They so fun and quick, yet easy going. But they can be sceptical to people they dont know. Which can be a good thing aswell because they wont be the first to run up to everyone off leash. They are more like mini border collies mixed with spaniels and puddles but without so much of the herding and hunting. My 3 have been very diffrent, but all very fun and loves cuddles. One super silent never made a sound reminded of a fox super buddy with a dwarf hamster allways prtotecting it very wise. One smart and cuddley (had him short time) og the one now is the biggest clown ever and she talks a lot, very expressive. No matter breed tho its allways induviduals, so you should probly meet more then one no matter what breed unless you read a lot and have a good feeling and is prepared for the personality you get. I would say tho that Papillon is a dog who needs walks and mental training, not a lot, but some they got energy, moves to run or play and is smart. But they also calm indoors. They do love cuddles, they are breed to be close to the owner so they will not be a godd choice for someone who wants an outdoor dog. The usly like kids if the kids are kind to them and they are not to nervois about sounds some of them can be. They do very well in agility and obidience actully, so its funny with this video 😂

Janet Moore I agree...it was really good of him! 😊

That wasn't fear. That was the second round for that dog. He was just tired and didn't feel like doing the jumps. The judge was very nice to give the dog a boost to try and get him going though. ❤️

@@kaitlyne1870 a

then he got all excited after it made the jump haha

The Butterfly just wanted cuddles.

Papillons are not lapdogs

They may be small but they are actually herding dogs in Spain and many countries they herd sheep, papillons prefer to run around than to lay around, they have a high amount of energy.

@Naught Guile that is fantastic that the jack Russell found someone who loves exercise, I have a papillon myself because I love going on long runs and plus I love hairy dogs with big ears 😊.

Hahahahaha

So true! 😄

I just had to smile...nice start for my day. Cute dog!

Now this is the last person I thought I’d see comment here ahahahah💜 love your art willam

Embarrassing but that's the world of showing dogs.Papilions are usually very good at show. But they tried. Crufts are the best in the world at this. Good Luck next Time.🐶🐩

Lol

Nope, the doggies couldn't care less about this human competition.

Vlad Dracul nah my dog loves doing it

I remember our very first agility trial was WAY different than our weekly classes. If this dog thought that the crowd, lights, and announcers booming over the speakers was a bit much, I can't blame him. Still think he's a cutie and the handler and judge were able to show that competitions are still games, no matter how prestigious.

Janet Tempest Awe....Hugs and blessings to you. Im glad you have your doggie!🌹

@cubomania3 Find a way to keep on with your life. Carrying that loss in you. Don't bring outrage, bring sympathy, or empathy if you have had the same in your own life. Be kind.

We don’t know why the Pap refused to jump/run…they are highly intelligent, gentle Dogs…there is a reason & why we will never know….the Dog was frightened !!!

Samoyeds r smarter in that way. In every way tbh. I do respect u for noticing this about this dog. I think though most dogs r obedient for love and or survival and know they have a choice in a way.

Jeff Johnson yeah but Papillons are ranked #8 “superior level” on dog intelligence scales (below Labs, but above Rottweilers) while Samoyeds are ranked simply “above average” at #33

Its true. I have a papillon too. They are brilliant dogs and have a mind of their own. My pap is not as excited about praise as other dogs. I think that has something to do with her obstinance. Another dog does what you want, you praise her, and she goes crazy with joy that she has pleased you. My papillon hears "good girl!!" And doesn't even wag! She's like, "of course I'm a good girl."

Susan Darby yeah mine will do it for food. But if no food is offered she just looks at me like “why should I do that? There isn’t anything in it for me” Maybe this trainer already gave her Pap too many treats, and she was full, so had no reason to do her tricks

Shia labeouf will play the papillon.

ever watch Best In Show? lol

That dog is not nervous.lol.

@@k.doolittle2473 how do you know? I think she was freaked out about the situation. Papillons are like that.

@@mygirldarby It was the second round. He'd already done this before.

Susan Darby Dogs competing at that level are not nervous...her tail is up and she is prancing around.She simply isn’t into it this particular day.🙂

I think it's more that the dog is finding that the attention from the owner that she is getting is MUCH MORE FUN than running the course. It's like "I like this game better".

Paps are often really into agility. Or at least into their favorite obstacles, if not the rest. I've personally trained two of them for agility, the other one went 100% crazy for the sport, and I think she was excitement seeking, because she started loving (I mean LOVING) all the high obstacles that she was really afraid of at first. The other one was more into just doing her own stuff, jumping if she felt like it, going on a course of only her favorite obstacles and nothing else, but anyway she was always much more into sniffing and following trails of scent.

Papillons are really smart. Mine knew so many words and even knew 'sneeze' 'bark' 'growl' and stuff like that. They are amazing.

demonwindfox mines name is Max :)

I have two. A black and white male that looks like the one in this video, his name is Chester and I have a brown and white male named Dudley. Love them to the moon and back.

Aww, Olly!!! He's gonna be hard to beat. 😆😅😃❤
