What is the Bad Times trend dog video?
After the original BAD TIMES argument went viral, pet owners made it their own: dogs standing on their hind legs, raising their paws and lunging at the lens, beat for beat with the song. A husky's take became one of the best known.
This version follows that husky's take instead of the original performer — or, if you pick them, a black shepherd's or a black-and-tan shepherd's. Its moves come from a dog's body, so your pet keeps animal proportions: it stands up, gestures with its front paws and mouths the song, but never grows human hands. Breed, fur, markings and the room come from your photo. Pet versions are made on Premium, which keeps paws looking like paws.

Pet photos that work best
Face clearly visible
Eyes and nose sharp and toward the camera. Side profiles and blurry action shots lose the likeness.
Some body in frame
Head and chest, or the whole pet, so the video gets its fur, size and markings right.
Good light
Daylight or a bright room. Dark photos turn black fur into a shapeless blur.
One animal
One pet per photo. Two pets, or a person holding the pet, make it unclear who plays the part.

Bad Times trend with your pet: FAQ
It's the pet version of the viral BAD TIMES trend. The original TikTok shows a woman having an over-the-top argument with whoever holds the phone, lip-syncing Imael Angel's "BAD TIMES". In the pet version a dog (or cat) stands on its hind legs and does the same routine. This page makes one from a photo of your own pet.
Yes. Dogs, cats and most other pets work, as long as the photo shows one animal with a clear face. The motion comes from a dog's take, so very long-bodied or very small animals can look less natural.
No. Any clear photo works; the video makes your pet stand and act out the moves. A photo that shows its body helps the proportions.
Yes. Breed, fur colour, markings and eye colour come from your photo. Only the moves, the camera and the timing come from the reference take.
Not on this version: the motion is a dog's, so a person looks odd. For people, use the original Bad Times AI template, which follows the original performer's take.
The whole 30-second take, as a vertical 9:16 MP4 with the song, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
