He's a beagle, if that helps. He gets upset when I play and just yells.

Likely, he’s been rewarded with attention when he howls while someone is using a computer. Reconditioning the antisocial behavior entails rewarding him for the social behavior you prefer.

This is the real answer

Kill a few Minecraft dogs in front of him, then whisper “you’re next if you don’t pipe down” at him.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 26 points 7 months ago

He’s a beagle, so he’s stubborn and not willing to negotiate

Omg yes. I'd need one with a dog chair on each side though so both of my dogs can sit with me lol

[-] livus@kbin.social 6 points 7 months ago

So basically you need to start playing minecraft on a 3 seater sofa, surrounded by dog treats.

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 19 points 7 months ago

Well have you tried offering him a turn? You've been hogging the controller, let him try.

[-] kometes@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

He probably wants his own account and a computer to play on...

[-] Blackout@kbin.run 16 points 7 months ago

Try telling him this: Woof! Woof woof! Bark woof grrrrr woof! Bark bark rrrrrrrr bark raa raa raa woof.

woof.

When I said that to my dog, she just repeated it back at me, but with this mocking, high pitched tone... not gonna lie, my feelings were hurt.

[-] Devi@kbin.social 15 points 7 months ago

You've wrongly linked the behaviour with an action. Beagles yell regardless of what you do if you're not paying them attention.

[-] Davel23@fedia.io 7 points 7 months ago

You can't. Play Terraria instead.

Frozen treat stuffed inside a Kong toy. You have at least 30 minutes. Lol

[-] oDIRECTORo@lemmy.radio 5 points 7 months ago

Does the dog get upset when you have headphones on? If it's a beagle the sounds and or music may be messing with it's ears.

Invent Minecraft for Dogs.

Have you checked to make sure he is not your human dad?

A featherless biped, my son

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 points 7 months ago

Why play Minecraft when you could be playing with a real dog?

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

I mean, I like to do both lol. I spend most of my spare time with my pets, but sometimes I wanna do something for myself lol

[-] x4740N@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I don't think you want to take your real life dog to do some underground mining

Let me stick some TNT in the dogs ass then

Feed him some rotten flesh

Play Minetest and see how he reacts.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 7 months ago

Tame a wolf and then kill it in front of him. Maintain eye contact while you do it. He'll get the message.
