My dog gets upset when I play Minecraft. How do I make him see that Minecraft is great.

Play Minetest and see how he reacts.

My dog absolutely hates certain noises. Anything excessively high pitched especially.

Have you tried turning the sound off, or is it you being on the computer in general rather than playing Minecraft?

Do you play any other games? If not, it may be the higher load than normal causing the fans to spin, and maybe that’s messing with his ears.

The only other thing I can think of, besides the dog simply seeking attention, are your actions while you play Minecraft. Whether you make noises or yell, fidget, gasp, move in your chair a lot (squeeky wheels?) etc.

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

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.

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.

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.

@LaunchesKayaks it's probably a seating issue.

Get one of these chairs

LaunchesKayaks, 2 months ago

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

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

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

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

You can't. Play Terraria instead.

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