A woman’s attempt to show her dog trainer just how mischievous her Afghan hound puppy could be has gone viral, leaving viewers on TikTok in hysterics at the canine’s former misdemeanors.
Shared later on August 9 by the dog’s owner under @breezieandgeorgie, the clip was originally filmed to send to the dog’s then-trainer to highlight George’s “naughty tendencies.”
Viewers were able to see the playful puppy heading toward his owner and nibbling on her sleeve, while she responds with a firm “no” in an effort to discipline him.
An overlaid text on the footage read: “I used to have to send these videos to Georgie’s trainer,” while the post’s caption added: “OMG I can’t stop laughing, George was such a naughty puppy.”
The viral moment offers a glimpse into the challenges—and comedy—of raising an Afghan hound puppy. With its long, silky coat and striking appearance, the breed is also known for its spirited nature, which can make early training an energetic undertaking.
The lighthearted clip captures the kind of playful persistence that can test even experienced dog handlers.
Since being posted, the video has been viewed more than 1.3 million times and liked by over 89,000 users. Many viewers took to the comments to share their amusement at the canine’s antics. Others voiced their opinions on what they would do if they were in the owner’s shoes, with several sharing similar experiences.
“This is so funny,” one viewer said. “I can’t stop watching it, my dog ‘mauls’ me at random too.”
“Puppies don’t belong on beds, if they are naughty,” another viewer said.
“This reminds me of when my dachshund was a puppy and would latch on to my pants,” another added. “Puppies are no joke.”
“I’m in the naughty puppy stage I hope it gets better,” another commented, while a different viewer joked: “Those hound listening skills.”
Afghan hounds are recognized for their elegance and athleticism, but also for their independence and high energy levels—traits that can pose a challenge during puppyhood, especially for less experienced owners. These dogs were bred to hunt and chase prey, making them prone to running off leash and out of their owner’s sight on walks. Their training often requires patience, consistency and plenty of exercise to channel their drive into obedience and positive behaviors.
