Some people are just utter shites, perhaps if these people had their genitals trimmed it would make them think twice

Same as docking tails, don’t see the point

Horrible bastards.

The easiest dogs in the world to give a tablet to...

Toss tablet in the air. Or pretend you're eating it so that they instantly want some.

Dog grabs it, job done

Not the sharpest tool in the box. But instantly loveable

Bless his little heart....wagging his tail all the time.

I reckon the guy went straight to the job centre after that attack. Burglary appears to have been a very painful career choice!

On the subject of dogs attacking intruders. If you have a "Beware Of The Dog" sign. Remove it & replace it with something like this...


A good few years ago. There was a case where a smart-arse lawyer managed to convince a jury that his client (a piece of shit burglar) Had been attacked by a known dangerous dog. His argument was that the innocent home owner had put up a sign admitting that his dog was aggressive.
Apparently the dog was put down, the owner was prosecuted & ordered to pay compensation to the burglar!
Meanwhile the burglar walked free from court

My sign would be much harder to twist into the same outcome. As far as I'm concerned it says that invited visitors are very welcome. But don't expect the same treatment if you enter uninvited!

Well I’ve finally managed to catch the bug & The Captain has barely left my side.
Much as I appreciate him keeping me warm in the sofa/bed, I could live without his toxic ass emissions!!

Signs should read "Be Aware" and not "Beware", one is advice the other is a warning

I still like my version of the sign Scrappy.

Here's a perfect example of what I'm attempting to convey with it

If my humans like you, there's a good chance I will as well.
But if you attack my humans. Expect me to defend them!

That reminds me @Flynnt20
Please keep me informed about the Wales lockdown rules in early January.
Mrs DD has decided that she wants to celebrate her 50th birthday in your country

Dickhead is here again for 3 days whilst his Dad enjoys New Year....
He has been "defending" us from the fireworks
That was very funny initially, until we had to welcome a visitor at just after midnight.
Then we had to quickly inform him that his defence wasn't required

I don't care what folk say. EBT's are feckin awesome dogs. This is only his 3rd visit but as far as he's concerned, we are part of his pack
I reckon his protect instinct only kicked in cos he thought it might impact on his relaxed cuddle time

 

[Sarky B’stard]

You can’t beat a well adjusted dog in the family. My old terrier’s best defensive days are behind him but he is the most attentive nurse to the new arrival. Expects us to promptly attend to every murmur, lies close and checks out all visitors.

About 10 years ago, me and Ms S were with our GSD, Zaz, at a music festival. Around midnight, Ms S and the hound go back to the tent to crash, while I headed off to continue partying with some mates.

Ms S hears the tent zip open, someone comes in, so she says my name.

She sits up to realise that someone off their tits has come into out tent by accident, and even done the zip up behind them. The fella is now aware he is in the wrong tent and also aware that he is nose-to-nose with Zaz.

Ms S instructed the terrified fella to back out, which he did. Zaz just waited, taking his cue from Ms S - just sat ready, proper good dog.

Wonder if the following morning the fella remembered it or just put it down as some drug induced hallucination!

Love GSD - will get another when I retire.

I like to "think" that I have an affinity/ability with "problem" dogs?
But I also think this guy has gone too far?
IMHO, letting any large powerful dog know it can't do whatever it likes, whenever it likes. Is an absolute must.
It makes for a happy/balanced relationship for all concerned. In my experience, once the dog knows it's loved but it also knows it isn't in charge. It's happy with its place in the family pack.
Withholding food when it's placed right in front of the dog is a step too far. It's either feeding time, or it isn't.

IMHO, it's borderline cruelty & his dog is scared of him ☹

A dog that's scared of you. Is far less likely to protect you. Without a monetary thought for its own safety. I'd much rather have one that would take on my adversary because he/she thought they'd get a biscuit/fuss afterwards
