Big Dog thread/pics

[gravitation]

gravitation, was just wondering what experience and qualifications you are basing these commants on?

Experience of having owned different dogs with different personalities, cared for others dogs and aided with training difficulties.

Professional dog grooming, and believe me you need to know how to control all breeds of dog when using scissors and sharp blades that have the potential to do alot of damage.

If a dog is raised correctly and trained properly they should walk on the lead?


It is ALWAYS the owners fault with the acception of mental issues that a dog is aggressive or too dominant. Always. Whether it be the dog not being properly socialised or not having made it clear who is the boss of the house hold if someone thinks otherwise, then they are just making excuses for themselves.

you said it in the first line. the prong can be used to help TRAIN properly.

what about owners of rescue dogs that are aggressive? its not the new owners fault that they are aggressive. so these tools can be used to help retrain the behaviour of the dog. aggression is all mental, nothing else. not all people are responsable for aggression in dogs. as I said, the prong is not necessary for everydog and situation. it has its place though and its not cruel and horrible, its the idiots that misuse them that are cruel and horrible. and the same can be said about all collars, even normal flat collars.

Excuse me? Cleaning ears, eyes, checking for medical issues, treating infections and making a dog feel comfortable is next to owning a pet store?

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

And i have also posted pictures, So i'm not just having my say.

Good quality collars and harnesses are my preference.

any collar used incorrectly can hurt a dog, dosen't matter how the quality of it is. harness are the worst things to teach a dog not to pull on a leash. they will pull even harder.

Those pups are gorgeous! The one above reminds me of my girl as a pup

Cheers for that - I'm hoping a couple of members can post some ive bred to show you what the pups turn out like

BECS - Yes we do have pups on the ground 6 1/2 weeks , PM me if your interested, I'd be happy to talk to you about them.

To me - collars work fine, and to be perfectly honest i don't think what you use has much to do with it? It's the way you are handling, punishing and correcting the dog. Like gozz said, use your voice and be patient.

I just think it's cruel to make a dog wear an uncomfortable collar and i don't think people who don't know how to use them should have access to them.

and for what you said about rescue dogs, most of them are temperament tested, those that arn't are more work and take longer to train, yes it's not the owners fault they have the issues they do but it is the new owners responsibility to have the issues addressed in the right way which to me is vocal commands, patience and consistence.

End.

its only unconfortable when the dog is corrected. when a normal collar is used the dogs is uncomfortable when corrected aswell, only with a prong you dont have to apply as much pressure with a normal collar. its not uncomfortable when not been used to correct.

only once the dog is trained in the command and it knows it 110% that you move onto the correction phase. you should never give a command that you cant enforce because then the dog will start to do what it wants and may start to challenge pack leadership.

I like to see you and gozz train a large dominantly aggressive hard tempremented dog using only voice and patience alone. the dog will ignore you and do what it wants to do. it would never work, it actually is ridiculously ludicrous the more i think about! :lol:

Mate i had a Pitty bitch that would scare the ssss out of you ,when i talke dominance trainning its starts at a very early age you need to growl and bite the young pup at the right times( thats just a little bit of the trainning) its starts at a very early age and sometimes cant be corrected if caught late then otherways are needed i must admit other methods work great end the end we all want the same results a well temped great controled animal cheers

I dont know what point your trying to make with the scary pitty bitch thing? but you dont have to growl and bite puppys for dominance training. the puppys learn these socialization and pack structure skills natuarally off there litter mates. thats why you shoudn't take a puppy from its litter before a min 8 weeks because thats what they learn. you can yelp like a dog when your puppy bites and that helps it to teach that biting hurts you.
