rocky1 942 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 As long as they have food and water, leave them for as long as you need to (with in reason)....fannying around dogs leads to needy, nurotic animals. If more folk treated dogs like dogs and didnt try to humanise them so much you would have a lot more happy animals in the world. All this must walk at 6 and feed at 8 and wipe its arse every second thursday of the month will have the animal climbing the walls when you cant make the "date" sometime. Let a dog be a dog, you tell it not the other way round. spot on , Just a thought but a dog is a pack animal....and being solitary for 11 hours a day is not a "dog being a dog" at all IN MY OPINION. I gave up a job like that for a few reasons including my dog not getting out enough for a max of 8 hours a day job yes your right a dog is a pack animal but it needs 2 know who is top dog not the other way round Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JPTfellterrier 65 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I am very much boss over my lot...but I PERSONALLY don't think it is humane to leave a dog 11 hours a day....but hey ho what the f**k do I know on this sexist, arm chair hunter site pmsl. Anyone who knows me respects me fully, even a guy who has bred some very well known dogs has said I am one of the best dog handler/owners he has ever met and respects me fully.....now from a bloke that has been in it since he was 12 that is a serious compliment Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As for your ability as a dog handler - I don't know you but you certainly didn't deserve those earlier comments!?!? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 46,608 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) I dont think it has anything to do with being "hard" or "soft" on your animals, my aim was really to convey that if you relax around your animals they will relax around you.....and let me tell everyone, IMHO a relaxed animal is much more of a joy than one that requires constant nurture and reassurance (when adult) Also, I would say to this lad, if you are going to have a large type breed in-doors which may spend long-ish periods of time alone alone, then just have one dog. I know lots of people keep more with no problems, but dont cause yourself stress from the get-go. I have seen so many animals turned into mental wrecks by well meaning but misguided owners. I think the hard mouthed bull x comment speakes for itself in its sheer rediculousness, but that said, I cant teach good retrieve to save my life Snoopy, you got me!! :laugh: Edited April 25, 2011 by CHALKWARREN 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
