No reason to hold me there. I’ll stay on my ownNope, refuses to tap out
You are missing a tiny bit of context here. Not a ton, but definitely some
Neighbors let their foo-foo dogs out back. They don’t have a fence. One made its way into my fenced backyard (crawled under the gate). My dog thought he was a snack. They blame me, but I feel zero guilt.
My dog loved to play with other dogs, but would get very aggressive when charged. Several unleashed dogs have attacked mine while he was on a leash. Owners would freak out when he stood over them while chewing on their throats.
Your dog responding to a charge that way is one thing. If you can't get your dog to release either on command or by a physical prompt, then you don't have control of your dog either. Both dogs in the video were leashed. Neither was well controlled.
Unfortunately we are trained to the minimum standard. Basically if it is a hole on an extremity tq it.
So what happens when the rocket they are pretending to ride blows up? Early retirement for all and Jeff gets a new girl? They need someone that's better at Photoshop.

It's as if this morale patch was taken from statements made in the Legendary Thread.

A buddy had a GF that owned about 300 acres of land, and he invited me to hunt with him there once. I noticed that he didn't have binocs with him that morning, but whatever. Later that afternoon he was telling me how he could see me glassing from the edge of a slope, and he kept checking to see if I was still in that same spot all day. Only one way he could be checking in on me like that. He's a great guy, but that was the last time we hunted together.I hope that is a spotter or binos. Or is he up there pointing his rifle at people....
So you’re telling me I get to bite some yappy little shit aaand I get my prostate fangered? Sign me up baby!
Big dogs require real owners. Period.
Man, I had a 96lb, mostly Iab mix turn on my wife in her clinic Monday for zero reason. The dog's owner (older lady, probably late 60s) couldn't control it. But to be fair, she did say it tried to attack the last vet.
So I was close already and grabbed that MF up and got my hand under and around the back of his collar and twisted it while locking my arms out as he was lunging towards ne now...basically making a tourniquet or collar choke. I smashed his face into the floor and just held him there until his eyes started to roll before I loosened my grip. Then I just kept him down as he got his shots. I gave him a few pets afterwards as he was coming back from the shadow realm, and assured his owner that "he must have just been really frightened"...total BS, but it's bad for business to go around choking dogs out.
Anyway, he has a note bext to his record for aggression...and the only way I'll let them come back is if we get to sedate him right off the bat.
No way should he belong to that woman though. He's a liability.

You will probably have wait until she’s done with him
The bear has killed less people
I had to switch veterinarians and I talked with the staff and the vet about my lab shepherd mix. He is a very friendly dog but he is easily brought to level ten when you treat him like a two year old child. He'll already be wary of the new people and place so do not get him excited and then try to look in his ears, mouth, probe, prod and stick him with needles. He'll absolutely bite you. You establish the alpha role by talking firmly and treat him like you would an adult. You tell him what you want him to do and he will do it. You enforce the command with a snap of your fingers. They were all good with that and I called to remind them before the first visit. We walked into the office and the very first person to see him says Hey Jack how ya doing boy. With a squeaky voice like a chew toy. I turned around and took him to the truck. I went back in and told them that was the very worst thing to do and reminded them on how to treat him. I returned with him and they were good to go. Then I take him into the exam room and I went to put him on the table and the Vet said that he would get on the floor with him. I told the Vet that doing so was not a good idea and he was going to get bit. Vet says that it'll be fine he's done it many times. Once he got down on the floor I could feel that Jack was having no part of it so I told him to stop and get up. Jack will totally own you. So I had Jack jump on the table and I had the Vet stand and talk with me for a minute and I asked him what position he wanted Jack to be in. Sitting, standing or laying down? Tell him to do it and snap your fingers and he'll do it. Vet says, Jack sit! Snap and Jack sits. He listened to his breathing and whatever else. He says Jack lay down, snap and Jack is down. He gives him his yearly shots and examines his teeth and gums. No fuss and no one bit. I said off and Jack jumped down to the floor.
The kennel where we board him when we travel absolutely love him. They have him on their Facebook page doing tricks and playing. I've shown them the hand signals so they don't have to say anything to direct him in what they want. They get a kick out of showing people that he'll lift a back foot by doing a hand gesture and let you trim his nails.
He's a dog that you must be firm and assertive with or he'll dominate you. Once he knows that you are the alpha he's your buddy.
I have owners of aggressive big dogs in here frequently. The owners understand that they are going to be involved in the handling of their animal...especially if I am not around.
It is a very friendly and mutual agreement. I am happy to work with them, and will work with them as long as I can ensure the safety of my wife and the girls who work at the clinic. In turn, I will treat the animals (and owners) with the mutual respect that they deserve, plus a level above (after all, it is a "service" industry).
My wife was a military working dog vet, so she knows her way around big dogs that are prone to bite. Monday was not a provoked response. I was literally playing with and petting that dog 60 seconds before it went off the deep end. No needles, stethoscopes, or other equipment was involved...the dog lunged when she put her hand out for it to smell her.
I think that the dog just needs a dominant owner.
For the little shits that are biters, I frequently wear cat gloves and just manhandle the snot out of them while they try to take chunks out of me. I have yet to find an owner that doesn't find it amusing surprisingly.
