fireman 10,917 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Georgia you know yourself deep down not all dogs are like that one and you've handled reved up on a kill dogs and have been fine,so try to think about the good times you've had with dogs and your brain will come round in the end.It's just a self defence thing it's done to itself and you will be able to convince yourself of the truth that not all dogs are bad,have a rumage through your old photo's of you and the dogs together and i'm sure it'll help settle you.Get well soon .

PlasticJock 539 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 You can trust any dog, even the aggressive ones, as long as you know what you're doing and the warning signs. Very rarely does any animal not give off warning signs that they're unhappy but most people can't read their body language so things happen. what a load of bollocks,tell that to the rodesian ridgeback that ripped the pants of me and mauled both of my knees ,the only body language he gave off was a waggy tale A load of bollocks? Strange how many people who apparently work with animals and in the countryside etc are quick to paint one species the same colour. No better than the idiots who pass ridiculous laws in this country based on hearsay and public outcry... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticJock 539 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I understand mate but theres a number of things that people don't understand about dogs - if you have a naturally protective breed (ridgeback, rottie, shar pei etc) then there's no need to train them as guard dogs (unless obviously police, army etc), usually they end up too aggressive because the people who own them subsequently think that because they are 'trained', then they know exactly what to do in all situations. Secondly, the amount of lazy f*****g owners who can't be bothered to properly excercise their animal is unbelievable. A bored dog full of energy is a nightmare irrespective of the breed. Third, if you know your dog is highly protective or overly aggressive to strangers, muzzle it. Not too much to ask and it's also the law. Some humans were born to be arseholes, some dogs are the same. But most of these incidents can be attributed to the fact that the owner has taken on a breed that they know nothing about, and are incapable of looking after themselves, let alone an animal. I don't think it's fair when people make statements like 'you can never trust any dog.' 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticJock 539 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I know what you're saying, some dogs don't, some people say they looked fine but in reality weren't looking when they mauled them in response to stepping on their paw (not saying you did!). There is always a reason that a dog attacks, and IMO it's usually the fault of the owner, that's all I'm saying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 some dogs are just naturally aggressive,and no matter how much it is trained properly it will always be a demon.a lot of times yes it is the owners fault,but these natural agressive dogs do exist,and should be hit over the head with a hammer at the first available opprtunity.

PlasticJock 539 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I accept that as well, like I said some humans are too (Andres Beiring Brievek, Raoul Moat, Derek Bird etc etc etc), so I know some are always gonna be tapped but the majority aren't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticJock 539 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Scothunter I'm not talking to you, you called me a c**t you're right they do exist, but if someone owns them then surely they should recognise theres a problem and do something about it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
