How to freak out your dog.

1) Grab his or her ear.
2) Give it a tug, then,
3) quickly fist up your hand and bring it to your mouth and pretend you're eating something.

You may have to do it a few times, but the dog may begin to wonder if you've turned into a carnivore. Expect some hostile behavior.

Hugs, kisses and treats generally return the dog to his or her previous disposition.

For example, the only way I teased my cats was to put my hand palm down in front of him, tuck in the ring finger and pinkie and move my index and middle fingers like the hand is walking toward the cat. They will get instant crazy eyes with a gentle and playful "attack" to protect himself. A good time is had by all.

This is also acceptable:

Have you ever gently nommed on his ears with your lips covering your teeth so you don't accidentally hurt him? You have to say "nom nom" as best you can while doing it (quietly, too, because you are right outside their sensitive ears). Your pet will enjoy the silliness (they have a great sense of humor).

Love my dogs, but they can find the raunchiest things on our dog walks.

When she wants my attention, she grabs one of my socks and dares me to take it from her. It's all about the attention.

I was playing tug-of-war with him with one of his toys once. Yes, I was down on the floor. Of course, I let him pull the toy out of my hand and I made a big show of trying and failing to catch him to get it back. He strutted happily away with his toy and the joy of victory. Fun times.

The little one gets very defensive and tries to stop the big one from chasing him. Really amazing how the little one is the alpha.

Witnesses report the victim was "mercilessly fucking with" the animal, who eventually "had enough of his shit" and "went postal on his ass."

Film at 11.

We are both in playful mode. Just because a dog barks during playtime doesn't mean she's going to attack.
