| 0:00.0 | My brother wants to put down my dog because he growled at my niece after she taunted him all day. |
| 0:07.2 | Here's what happened. |
| 0:08.4 | Subscribe to Am I the Jerk on YouTube and hit the bell for notifications. |
| 0:13.6 | I fostered a multitude of dogs in my life |
| 0:16.6 | and dealt with a lot of behavioral problems. |
| 0:19.1 | Dog aggression, cat aggression, food aggression, |

| 1:12.1 | yells at him, and never gives him a second to himself unless she's forced to. |
| 1:16.6 | Meanwhile, he's basically a saint with her, but every dog has its limits. |
| 1:21.9 | I stay as on top of this behavior as I can, forcing her to leave him |
| 1:25.8 | alone when it starts to seem like too much, and locking him away in the bedroom if she won't. |
