The 'terrifying' trend sees dog owners pretend to agressively speak in the face of their pet, but experts warned Newsweek it could make them 'turn round and bite.'

The family captured in the original video, which has over 2 million views, told Newsweek that they are not responsible for any copy-cat style videos, saying:"We posted a satire video, on a satire platform where the authorized users are 14 and over. Parents are responsible for their children's use of electronics and what they watch.

Another indicator for Nutkins is the ears, which dogs often use as a form of expression:"You can see a lot of these dogs that are having this new trend showing so much with their ears! I haven't seen a single dog whose ear position or movement is in a nice natural position; they are all moved in a position showing 'I'm stressed' or giving calming signals to ask 'please don't do what you're doing.

"You should never shout at any pet as this only causes distress and fear, while being this close to their face could easily cause the animal to react and cause serious injury.
