Comment preview: Hey man, I am a professional positive reinforcement dog trainer and I understand completely how this sort of obsession begins. We absolutely *can* blame the laser pointer, as it the the laser pointers fault 90% of the time. Dogs need to hunt, that's normal ....

Comment preview: Actually, they could be using the brakes. A car is actually pretty easy to pull once you get it going. And the driver needs to keep the tugline tight to protect the dogs. Basically, what the dogs do is throw themselves forward and the harness catches them. ....

Comment preview: That pitbulls dont latch on when they go off or bite- they 100% do. They are bred to hunt wild boar and are called 'Catch Dogs' because after the hounds find the boar the pits are let out to go bite and catch the boar s through a latch bite so the hunter ....

Comment preview: You don't have to watch it, order of events was as follows: 1. A few minutes of the dog sitting there in the garage. 2. Animal Control Officer retrieves catch pole. 3. Police Officer tazes dog. 4. Dog retreats into garage. 5. Officers move into garage. 6. ....

Comment preview: I agree this is the best way to go. I wouldn't waste time with a note. I'd knock in the door or catch them when they're outside. I'd have your dog with you on a leash and simply bring up the situation in a non accusatory way. Ask if they were giving dog a ....

Comment preview: I'm an animal control officer. From what I can see (on my phone so I can't see very much detail)..... It appears that they have an officer that has ZERO control of the dog once its been placed on the catch pole. The police officer (wrongfully) seems to thi ....

Comment preview: Funny story: I met a guy at the dog park once who had a remarkably well trained working line Kelpie (Australian breed). This dog was obsessively obedient when it came to basic commands. Over the course of our conversation I found that he had paid several t ....

Comment preview: This isn't exactly badass, but my dog was a bomb sniffing dog so her whole job was badass by definition. So on with the story. My dog was a 53 lb. Black lab. Her name was Sab and she was the most affectionate dog I have ever had. All of the dogs from the p ....

Comment preview: I know this is not going to be the most popular post but hay ho. Abhorrent though it may sound to hunt foxes with a pack of dogs it is, in many respects, the most humane way to kill foxes (This is of course ignoring the tactic of simply not killing them at ....

Comment preview: Yeah I hear ya man. I've 'fought' off many dogs before, as I run through neighborhoods and trails frequently. I've never run into a situation as of yet that I needed to do any real harm to a dog to get it to back away. My tactics are more like this: -If ....

Comment preview: Toys are sold with leds in them that are the same colors as laser pointer lights. I bought one for my cats that has a motion activated red led light inside. When I am done playing with the cats with the laser pointer I shake the led ball to activate the li ....

Comment preview: It isn't all that stupid. A lot of predators are triggered by prey making an escape. As soon as an animal flees, they will instinctively give chase and attack. Playing dead can cause a predator to lose interest, or to at least relax and lie down while wait ....

Comment preview: Just after midnight I got a frantic call from my girlfriend saying she thought she saw a dog walking down the side of a highway in our area. It's two lanes each way, speed limit of 55mph, and is extremely poorly lit at night. So needless to say, it is not ....

Comment preview: Actually, OP should just read *The Prehistory of the Far Side*. It will probably answer most of his questions. That said, I would say that if it's not the "Cow tools" cartoon, it's the one where a dog finally catches a car. He drew it upside down with the ....

Comment preview: 40 years ago, we spent the summer on a farm, who had a sweet old german shepherd dog chained outside the barn. The cat would precisely walk nonchalantly at the "rope limit" while the dog would madly bark at him, mere inches from him. One day, the farmer ch ....

Comment preview: Do not *ever* run from a police K-9 unit. I have witnessed first-hand the results of this on a couple of occasions when I worked as hospital security. The dog *will* catch you and it *will* turn whatever appendage it latches onto into hamburger. I know ....

Comment preview: Similar story: I worked for a high-end hotel chain in Boston. One night, a woman came in with a grungy looking dog and said, "I have to be somewhere, I just found this dog running alone on Boston Common, can you watch him and try to find its owner?" I told ....

Comment preview: We had a really stupid Irish setter when I was growing up that would get out of the house periodically. She loved to run, so catching her once she was out was tough. My boyfriend (now husband) came over one day and my mom was panicked because the dog had g ....

Comment preview: Bear with me on this analogy, but I see this every day when I get home, and it really helps keep my anger in check with women. I live with two dogs, one male, and one female. They are siblings from the same litter. The male is an athletic freak who can cha ....

Comment preview: I had let the yard go long and was finally getting around to mowing. After I finished I started to rake up the cut grass into big piles. As I am clearing a pile into a garbage bag I see my dog dive into anouther pile and start doing the doggy roll of joy ....

Comment preview: Hi, I started working at a veterinary clinic last October and learned something interesting on the job that might benefit all you dog owners, lovers and advocates! A foundation called "The Yellow Dog Project" is a "global movement for owners of dogs that n ....

Comment preview: My family had a dog when I was younger, and it liked to bite people from time to time. He really was a good dog, I think it was just that we were bad owners, and didn't know how to properly train the dog. My stepdad ended up taking the dog to his father, a ....

Comment preview: Lie. Tell her poor dog had such bad stomach problems the last time she stuffed her with treats that dog needed to see a vet. ( get graphic with poop and puke). And vet says dog is in serious danger of stomach problems unless you make dog stick to a strict ....

Comment preview: I can't remember what the initial fight was. Though, my girlfriend and I had plans to go to breakfast the following morning. She was being a huge bitch to me, more than normal (like saying I need to stop hanging out with my friends etc.), and I was just fe ....
