Using Reverse Psychology to Get a Dachshund to Take His Pill


Occurred on June 13, 2026 / Covington, Louisiana, USA

Info from Licensor: "I filmed this at home with my miniature long-haired English Cream Dachshund, Louie. He usually refuses to take his monthly flea pill, so I decided to try reverse psychology by pretending to accidentally drop it on the floor and acting like I didn’t want him to eat it. As soon as I did, he immediately grabbed it and swallowed it. I thought it was funny and posted it to TikTok, where it unexpectedly went viral, reaching over 33 million views. The video resonated with pet owners who could relate to the struggle of getting their dogs to take medication. Credit: Maryanna Dehler"
