Thanks Inside Edition.. now the burglars know that most dogs won't be a problem for them.

Woman: "I'm kinda suprised" Narrator: "THIS FAMILY WAS STUNNED"

Family: Raises a family dog Also the family: Expects the dog to attack people * facepalm *

Maybe they’re just too smart and know that it’s staged🤷‍♂️

No these dogs aren’t wimps and aren’t just to sweet they just have no concept of what being burgled is and have been taught that biting and aggressiveness is wrong by the owner so why do people expect them to do something

To be fair, if I were a dog and I saw some 6 foot tall, 200 pound creature with bite-proof bodyarmor walking into MY house, I probably wouldn't try to fight him neither.

Dogs mostly react to emotion. Since the dude was so calm the dogs didn’t really get the reaction you were looking for

Owner: I trained you to be a playful wimp! Owner: Why aren’t you aggressive?

That girl: “ my dog is definitely not a wimp.”

It all depends on how you raised your dog

Imagine raising your dogs to be incredibly friendly rather than guard dogs and then being surprise that they're being friendly to intruders lmao.

Dog:Doesn’t attack Inside Edition: ThiS DoG iS a WiMp

Well I mean we raise our dogs to be nice to strangers

I already know what my dogs would do bark like they're tough until someone actually gets inside then they'll run like hell

random stranger walks in home:hey boyz dog: make yourself comfortable

They won't attack because the intruder has no malice in his heart. Dogs can sense it.

These dogs aren't wimps, they're just too sweet

the labs like "hey, im a lover, not a fighter."

If my house was broken into my dogs would attack i know this because they attack me when i walk in🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I just hope nobody abandons the dogs after this....

Thanks inside edition now I need to buy a Kangaroo for real protection

"Takes off with a Buddha statue" lmao

Lady: “My dog will rip his heart out.” *dog does nothing* Lady: “ahhhh nooooo!”

Getting mugged with a knife Me: *gives him my money* Random person: Wimp

Try won't attack him because he looks like a marshmallow

If anyone comes into my house my dogs bark like crazy

I know *exactly* what my purebred pit bull would do... Lay down on her back for a tummy rub :).

Plot twist: the dogs were so smart they knew the burglar was a fake

Dog shaming If there's no one in the room to protect why wouldn't they run?

well, that's says a lot about the families at least..they aren't douchebags and have raised their pets well.

Ugh 1:04 let me just say A WAGING TAIL DOES NOT MEAN A FRIENDLY ANIMAL 🙃

2:37 that dog is NOT a wimp, he's just too friendly to be a guard dog (he's a lab)!

The reason the dogs aren't attacking is because 1. They don't sense danger and 2. He probably smells like other dogs

Most of them aren't actually wimps, they just don't sense real danger on the person bc he smells like other dogs duh

"[...] they sure look intimidating, maybe even ferocious!" They literally look like cuddly bears who just want to befrend everyone lol.

2:22 look at the kid in the costume, looks depressed man

they should get a chihuahua. that will teach the burglar

Because they don't sense real danger :/

3:04 you can see the disappointment in her eyes 😂

Literally no one: Inside edition:iS bReAtHInG sAfE

My dog would lie on his back waiting for belly rubs

This is so stupid and inaccurate. Dogs have an incredible sense of smell, they can even smell emotions (different hormones go off based on your mood). They can easily sense the "burglar" isn't actually breaking in. It takes more than a costume to fool a dog. And it said on one of them that the dogs were cowards just because there tails were wagging. That's the most stupid thing ever, dogs don't wag their tale when they're feeling playful , a wagging tail could mean lots of different things. The only sure way to know if a dog wants to play is if they give you a "bow" where they go down on their front legs awhile their butt is in the air.

I feel like some dogs would react differently if the family were home

My little Chihuahua will bite it’s leg off even before he enters his house

My betta-fish would sic them. Edit: Chip passed away on July 15 of 2018 after 3 years, please honor him by liking this comment.

The experiment could be inconclusive because the person would not be able to manipulate a negative attitude or aura and they dog wouldn't sense danger

**intruder breaks in** my dog: "i'll be taking a nap on my bed; could you get me a treat before you leave? thanks!"

They’re not wimps, they’re just little balls of cuteness ❤️

If you want a protective dog you need to get it trained to attack intruders

the dogs smells no damager thats why they dont attack.

2:58 say it mom

If this was a show I’d watch it “my dog is a wimp!” The series

WHY IS THE NARRARATOR YELLING?

My dog he would stay In his bed and keep sleeping

If a dog can sense when someone is a bad person, they’ll probably also know when someone is just faking

"Look intimidating! Maybe even ferocious.." showing them literally being babies. Aww..

Wait a second... The.. Bradberry Family? Hmmm....

The Bradbury family, where is Ethan??

imagine they didn’t tell the owners “Yeah we had a staged burglary to see what your dogs would do”

The dogs wouldve attack if the “burglar” had a scent

It honestly depends how you train your dog. I remember when I was younger we owned a German Shepard. He had been abused and trained to attack others by his previous owners. He never hurt our family, but he would pretty viciously attack anyone from unfamiliar house guests to young children. My point is, if you want an attack dog, buy and train one specifically for that purpose. Don’t buy a house pet and be surprised when they don’t do anything when faced with a stranger. Most don’t know the difference between guest and robber.

Possibly these dogs are smart enough to know/smell that this is a game? Not real-life stranger danger.

I don’t think they realize that dogs can sense danger and when people have bad intentions. They have a strong intuition.

Could the outcome have anything to do with the dogs being able to read the nonthreatenimg body language of the "actor"

2:49 "And takes off with a Buddha statue..." "Oh no!"

Maybe the dogs smell the owners scent on him

Honestly the dogs probably smelled his scent around the family or the scent of the family on him. So it’s hard to say 🤷🏼‍♀️ dogs can also sense a lot in people, if it were truly a vicious person I think those dogs would perform much differently.

Almost positive that if their owners were actually being harmed those dogs would show a completely different side.

My dog loves people so much he would probably show the burgulars where the jewellry is and offer them a drink.

Disappointed for their dogs being friendly? Weird. Now if someone threatened their owners, that would probably be a different story.

they wanna protect their owners, not the house

The man was so calm that’s why they didn’t sense anything wrong

The mountain dogs weren’t wimps they were just friendly

I think when the dogs sniffed they sensed if he is a bad person or a good person

0:09 that sounded like a pillager 😂😂

My grandad had a German Shepherd and he told me a story of when his dog chased an intruder of his property. It happened a long time ago but seeing this video made me think of it.

Interesting video. But these dogs aren't wimps, they're just friendly.

I'm disappointed at Inside Edition for only putting the wimp dogs. Not the brave attacking dogs

There's only two choices tho... 1) Have a family dog but it can't attack any burgles 2) Guard dog it can attack burglers but it's not that friendly...

Why would they attack a random person in their house when they’re trained not to do that, it’s not like they know the house is getting robbed.

My dog would probably be like "OH OH PERSON, well back to sleep"

It's better to have a socialized dog and have it "wimp" out when you get a burglar than have an aggressive dog who will injure a guest or one of your kid's friends. I 'd rather have to use my insurance on the former rather than the latter. That so called "wimp" dog might behave very differently if the burglar attacked one of his people, I bet.

Thanks now I know I should get protection when robbing houses

It’s the first 2 dogs for me 😂😂😂. So precious

I think they would attack, they just knew he was acting.

Lol the girl got roasted

Yet, that's what makes them affectionate, reliable pets for the families! And that's what we want!

How is the dog meant to know

they don't smell any danger from him that's why, he knew what he was doing and etc. my great dain and pit bull mix barks if he hears any different car noises outside, knocks, and even if its on the tv he'll bark. he once started growling when we were walking and we heard noises outside and that's when we ran for it. I really trust my dog no matter what. also my friends dog is small but she barks so loud and I'll jump you bite anyone who comes in the house she doesnt know. she done it to me and others until we kept coming over to spend the night or etc. it took a long time too xD!

They do *NOT* "wimp out"! Dogs can't be wimps! That's disrespectful and speciesist!

1:00 My dogs🤣 Big teddy bears😂

Dogs just like “iam Good Boy”

The problem with this, is that dogs will smell you and see if you give off a bad vibe. This "baddy" is letting them sniff him and seems very harmless. Not to mention, if the family met up with the guy before, the dog could recognize his smell on the family, or his family's smell on him. He has to have pure bad intentions, otherwise dogs will know the person isn't bad. Dogs are very intelligent creatures, they can tell if you are bad or not. :)

The first two though 😂😂😂 Dog:Imma hug this stranger ~hugz~ 1:08

I think there might be a difference between defending the property vs defending the house. In his younger days my late pup would become a completely different dog if he was outside on his lead and someone approached the house while we weren't home. But if we were home he wouldn't care. If he was in the house and someone came to the door he was interested but he never barked

The girl: my dog is not a wimp... Narrator: we'll see about that

My dogs would only attack if me or a family member is being harmed. We've tried it before: we had a male family friend pretend to hurt us and we were screaming. As soon as the dogs saw us, the dogs charged at our friend and starting jumping and biting him. Thinking back on it, it would have been safer to take some precautions, but it all worked out.

My dog would go nuts at the door if anyone was trying to break in. Then, once inside the dog would hop onto the guy trying to play before rolling over for a belly rub while all my stuff got stolen. Pretty great protection.

Lol "the dogs come running", as they calmly walk over to the door.

My dog attacks strangers if someone from my family is around...but wimps if alone
