socks 32,253 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I was out looking at a job today and as I was finishing I could hear a pup squealing every now and again so I went around the side of a small wood and there was a fella with a staff cross puppy on a flexi lead with a fukcing shock collar on and every time the pup wandered more than two foot from him he was shocking the poor little b*****d ... I went over all friendly and had a chat and it transpired the puppy was only 12 weeks old and he had been told by a gamekeeper that this was the best way of training a dog with bull blood in it so I tried to have a chat and give a bit of friendly advice only to be told that I knew f**k all the keeper had been training dogs for 30 years blah blah blah and just to prove a point he shocked the poor little f****r as it sniffed an empty crisp packet .... anyway to cut a long story sideways we had another little chat and when he left the pup wasn't wearing the collar as it was damaged beyond repair .... Now my point is who in their right fukcing mind tells somebody to put an electric collar on a pup and what fukcing idiot thinks that's good advice ..... 11 Quote Link to post

king 11,972 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 What did the guy hope to achieve apart from turning the pup into a nervous wreck. Well done on smashing the collar up ken. 1 Quote Link to post

Jax13 251 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 'breeders' are just as bad. My ex was a vet nurse and the number of dogs that came into the surgery in various states of disrepair because of diet or treatment 'the breeder' recommended was laughable. As were some of the remedies they advised on. I realise a lot don't like the idea of giving their hard earned cash to a vet but sometimes, as shown here, those who don't know any better listening to breeders can be catastrophic. With regards to the collar, I resorted to one to rectify Mabels recall because nothing else worked. It was the last option to go for and just using the vibrate or bleep functions as an irritant rather than the shock for a pain response has yielded good results. You shouldn't need a shock collar to get any dog walking on a lead but flexi's breed bad manners as the dog gets used to the sensation of pulling on a tight lead. Quote Link to post

Igz 1,445 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Fair play to you mate, couldn't think of a better response to a bell end that would think it would be ok to do such a thing, should have put it round his neck and see if he liked it himself ? Quote Link to post

Jackhammer 0 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Shock collar on a 12 week pup is "shocking"...shouldn't be allowed to own a dog if they have to resort to that so early on Quote Link to post
terryd 8,383 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Sounds like ignorance more than any thing. A lot of people talk a lot of rubbish and you have to have enough sense to sift out the good from the bad when taking advice. Poor little sod will end up being too scared to sniff any thing in the future and a wreck before it even starts life proper Quote Link to post
dazbrowne 13 334 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 You should of put it on the c**ts neck and give him a shock never seen the need for a shock collar you should of took dog as well pal Quote Link to post
THE STIFFMEISTER 15,695 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 I had an anti bark collar on a dog for a while then realised that it was probably my actions causing him to reacte He was very nervous and vociferous as a pup and didn't like being left alone To that end I got up an hour earlier and ran him to death on the park before work , he soon stopped whinging when he was f***ing knackered , although then he developed legs like a f***ing rhino and cramped up The mind is easily assuaged through positive training than through the boot The only thing I would put a shock collar on now is a 17 year old me Quote Link to post
