• Experts explain signs of canine jealousy

A golden retriever has become an internet sensation after his owner shared a video of his priceless reaction to her babysitting a puppy without his approval.

The entertaining clip, posted on TikTok by @edenharpr, features the owner snuggling with the puppy on the couch.

Meanwhile, her golden retriever stands at the other end of the room, glaring at them with what can only be described as pure disdain.

“I babysat a puppy and my dog was quite upset with the decision,” reads the layover text on the video.

The caption adds a touch of humor: “Not mad just disappointed.”

Dogs can indeed feel jealous, but their jealousy isn’t quite the same as human jealousy.

According to experts, changes in their routine, such as the introduction of a new dog or even a baby, can trigger these feelings.

But how can you tell if your dog is feeling jealous?

Dog wellness experts explain that one clear sign is blocking.

“Your dog might try to physically come between you and someone or something they perceive as a threat,” they state.

Other signs include increased aggression, such as growling, barking, lunging, snarling, or even biting at the source of their jealousy.

They might also become extra clingy or seek attention through destructive behaviors.

Changes in body language, like a stiff posture, lowered tail, or flattened ears, can also indicate jealousy.
