he is a very good boy.

>>34011433
thats what i thought when i first got him when he was about a year old but since he has gotten a little bigger his upper body looks more mastiff and he has alot of skin on his neck like most mastiff.(more than any pitbull i have seen).

He doesnt play like most terriers where he grabs somethings and shakes back in forth he prefers to grab something and for it to fight him and he attempts to hold it with his mouth and paws.

My doggo. She's from working lines and protection trained. I was a k9 handler in the military and trained her myself from a pup.

>>34012071
Do it like you do a kid but reward more and punish less.

Its honestly up to you for alot of stuff, alot of people dont believe in popping a dog but honestly i think its fine as long as the dog understands why you are popping it.

and if the dogs knows why the actual intent of hitting them will mean more than how hard you hit. so you dont have to really hit hard(more like you hit someones hand away).

Its better to reward the dog for things they do right though and to get around people and other dogs.

I can give a scenario
>if the dog shits in the house
run it out side asap. I dont think dogs really register that you are popping them for shitting so the idea of popping them while shitting is no good. its better to scold.
>if the dog shits outside
give it a treat and some love
>if a dog jumps on a person
scold and pop and give the dog a treater or physical attention when he waits for permission.
>if the dog shows agression toward other dogs or people
this one is kind of hard and the only real answer is to get around more people or dogs. I have never seen punishment actually work in keeping a dog from being aggressive toward people or dogs.
however some breeds have natural instincts to not other dogs, animals, people, or even particular genders.

You can also take it to a school but ive never done that. I just want my dog to come when i request and to understand no and leave. I only use a handful of commands
>go to house(kennel)
>go to bed
>go to chair
>comonheya("go on over there" in a thick southern accent)
>goonheya("go on over there: but in a thick southern accent.)
>no
>yes
>sit

anything else the dog will understand what you mean by your tone.

Dogs honestly understand tone and intent more than words.

>>34012100
Thats awesome, i have been thinking about getting a molloser but most are bred with ridiculous features like the korean mastiff.

Im having a hard time finding a truly working line dogs so im thinking about importing a bully kutta or Fila Brasileiro. I have also been thinking about a Tosa inu.

I like those breeds because they look more like hound dogs in the head.

The Fila Brasileiro interest me the most because of its hunting ability.

>>34012271
I had filas as a kid, my dad was a handler and trainer. They are over protective to the point you can't have people at the house comfortably.

The dog I have is out of Joe Lucero kennels "working class k9" they are referred to as "Lucero bandogs."

Him and my dad revived the breed back in the 80-90's.

>>34013915
yeah i forgot to include the boerboel in that post, although they look like like most mastiff/mollosers.

thanks for the info. i think i may avoid it though due to my friends who no-call no-knock my house alot. although They quit doing because my current dog flipped the fuck out the first time each of them did it.

also kids are stupid.

I think if i ever become a trucker or some shit like that i may look back into it.

Do you guys prefer male or female dogs?

I have found females tend to be more laid back but more protective.

on the down side if they have puppies you have permanently hanging titties.

Males are a bit more ready to go but seem more distracted than females

on the downside you set your phone on the couch and the dog sits down then you look over and he has his balls resting on it or worse...

Male

>>34014146
I'm the k9 guy. I worked both male and females. In my experience sex doesn't really matter, breed does.

With a female you don't have to worry about constant marking although I worked a malinois female that would legit piss on everything and lift her leg like a male.

GSD's are excellent dogs but the maintenance alone is turning me off of them. It's one thing to bathe and groom a dog as part of a routine while at work but when I come home I don't want to brush out and furninate the dog daily. They shed a ton even when you do.

Other than that little bullshit gripe they're great, smart dogs.

Furninate* as in the furminator tool. They're great but I only use them once or twice a week and use a regular dog brush daily.

I used to wash my mwd once a week, let him dry, furminator, and brush the next day. They shed a ton after a bath so I would blow dry their ass and do it immediately if you're doing it at home.

We had a kennel at work so I could just spray the coat he blew overnight. If it was at home everything would have been covered in dog hair.

Pic related is just from his hind legs and lower back after a bath.

I'd second that GSDs shed like crazy, but that's my only complaint. The younger pup (that is now taller and heavier than his 1.5 yr old sister, despite still only being 7 months old) is a short hair, so he doesn't shed quite as bad as his medium length sister.

Does he not get really dry skin with all that bathing? I usually only give my dog a bath if we go out hiking and he gets really dusty or muddy, but he tends to get pretty dry skin for a few days when I do bathe him. Shedding is an issue with him too, I have been just dealing with it and brushing every once in a while, but I ordered a furminator recently so I['m hoping that helps.

>>34016706
>it's gross to have animals not only in the house but on the furniture and in your bed?
nope, i couldnt care. He is my best friend and he lays on my cold feet. Its also nice to have a dog in my room while i sleep, I can actually get pretty deep sleep since i got him. He acts like a watch/guard dog when he isnt being a big goof.

>>34016755
what kind of a shampoo do you use? My dog had a dry skin problem when i got him but a good diet and oatmeal shampoo fixed it.

>>34016770
>a really fucked up previous owner.
possibly and maybe. He fears storms/rain and any water outside of his dog bowl. I cant even flick water at him after i wash my hands. He freezes when i give him a bath and just waits for it to all be over but it only takes a minute for him to forgive me. He also fears fireworks but i think that manifested from fear of storms.

He does love some that frozen stuff that falls from the sky.

>>34016755
I never had a problem with dry skin doing it once a week. Could be just a genetic thing like a person would have eczema or some shit.

>>34016770
My mwd absolutely hated water, every time I'd give him a bath id have to dead ring him to the chain link in the kennel. My civilian dogs hate it too, just a dog thing not necessarily a trauma related issue. unless they're bred water dogs I think most hate being sprayed with water

>>34017109
Oatmeal shampoo is great. I used this stuff called "perfect coat: black pearl". The shampoo my kennels bought was good but that black pearl shit really brought out the shine in my dogs black coat.

I've used regular people shampoo on dogs, nothing crazy just the same stuff I have in my shower, like suave or whatever. Anyway, this dude is right if your dog has super dry skin after bathing try out oatmeal based, if you've done that I'm sure there are products out there that are formulated specifically for dry skin.

Probably was just the crappy shampoo I was using at the time. He really hates water, so I don't give him baths often unless he's really dirty or smelly.

I don't really get why he hates water so much, he never had a bad experience with it when he was younger. He just avoids it at all costs, never swims or anything.

>>34016706
I feel you, I grew up in the country with bird/working dogs that were never allowed in the house so I was against having our pet lab in the house for a long time, but my wife and kids won that fight eventually.

We compromised in that he can be inside, but can't go upstairs where all the bedrooms are. No way in hell would I ever let him sleep in our bed though, you have to have some boundaries in my opinion, but I don't view dogs as part of the family. My view is more utilitarian I guess, like a tool.

How do you guys talk to your dogs?

I have developed a mixed bag of how i talk to my dogs. They are derived from southern dog hunting.
>I whistle(some times 2-3 notes) each tune has a differnt meaning.
I dont practice this one as much as i used to.
>I use commands that are one wordd but are really a chain of words combined into one. Its developed for hollering for long distances but it also works when you are close.
>squeaks combined with hand signals.
This is the most recent one, i purse my lips and make a squeak. A squeak without a hand sign mean to come and the hand signs are simple gestures so the dogs gets them. The tone of the squeak also makes a different in intent and meaning.

He also understands simple questions like "show me" or "what do you want"

Do not import a Bully Kutta, look around for houfek mastiffs, midgard mastiffs or any lines like that.

Pic related is mine and he is 50% neapolitan, 25% dogue de bourdeux and 25% bullmastiff.

>>34018161
>25% dogue de bourdeux and 25% bullmastiff.
i really dont like the heads of these to dogs.
The dogue has that pushed back slanted muzzle with an under bite and the bull mastiff has the same sort of look. Neither are good for breathing.

Although i do love the dogue's body.

I like the bully kutta because it looks more like a hound dog and its temperament.

I wouldnt mind going mixed but i think those dogs generally come from suspect kennels not to mention temperament can be very different from within the litter.
Also those kennels tend to breed dogs for looks not their ability.

Im looking for a dog that will be a personal guard and social. This seems to be the Boerboel. I am looking for a working line.

I have looked into the Neapolitan working line but i think those breeding lines need to work out some more. A dog that is good on a sleeve may only be good on a sleeve and he wont know how to really bite when the time comes.
also i hear they dont do well with hot humid weather.

I will keep an eye on midgard, although they seem to breed dogs that are constantly on 11. which is not what i want.

I would love to get another picture of that handsome pupper.

>>34018161
>>34019017
>midgard mastiffs
They also seem to be fixated on catch dogs with high prey drive. I only dog hunt during the winter and its not this kind of style of hunting.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as a PalmChiPoo, is in fact,
a Pomeranian/Poodle/Chihuahua, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Pomeranian + Poodle + Chihuahua. PalmChiPoo is not an Dog unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning breed made useful by the Pomeranian, Poodle, and Chihuahua components comprising a full genome as defined by biologists.

Yep i dig it. I dont really dig the look of the cane corso though. Where i live it would create three problems.

speaking of dog fighting.

Alot of mastiff are fighting dogs but many are people oriented not dog oriented and although i detest it ive recently checked out dog fighting videos so i can see how a breed will truly react to a real threat.

I have gotten kind of worried thinking about it. Because in the US pitbulls are very popular and fight like no other dog. I have personally witnessed a pitbull get under a big bulldog and tear its stomach open. Ive also heard that a pitbull mix did this to a horse.

It makes me feel like it would be best to keep two different types of dogs around. Something like a Mastiff for people and something like a pitbull for animals.

How do you feel about this.

I also checked out the "legendary tosa inu" fighting dogs and found that they are the lamest fighting breed i have seen. They're fighting is more like wrestling and kind of useless.


I would like to reiterate i do not condone nor do i like dog fighting however there is no other way to witness a dogs true potential.

>Alot of mastiff are fighting dogs but many are people oriented not dog oriented and although i detest it ive recently checked out dog fighting videos so i can see how a breed will truly react to a real threat.

I would disagree with that but when I say Mastiff I am meaning the landrace not the Old English Mastiff, the mastiff will be very gentle and loving towards its family unit but suspicious of strangers. They are very perceptive and sensitive, they can sense what is and what is not a threat. In terms of dog to dog aggression that just depends on the dog.

>I have gotten kind of worried thinking about it. Because in the US pitbulls are very popular and fight like no other dog. I have personally witnessed a pitbull get under a big bulldog and tear its stomach open. Ive also heard that a pitbull mix did this to a horse.

Pitbulls are high drive, they get overly excited and will target/re-target on things they wouldnt ordinarialy attack like children or their owners. If you own a high drive pit you treat it like a sharp knife or a loaded gun imo.
>It makes me feel like it would be best to keep two different types of dogs around. Something like a Mastiff for people and something like a pitbull for animals.

To have a pit with the drive specifically for other animals means it would be a liability around your other dog, I would look into a Dogo Argentino or 2 if I was you and this was an issue.

>I also checked out the "legendary tosa inu" fighting dogs and found that they are the lamest fighting breed i have seen. They're fighting is more like wrestling and kind of useless.

Yeah its a Japanese tradition and more like dog wrestling, its not rednecks wanting to have the gamest dog.

>I would like to reiterate i do not condone nor do i like dog fighting however there is no other way to witness a dogs true potential.

I think its a waste of life and dropping a dog in a pit doesnt say anything about how it will react if you or yours need him.

some not all, ive been around alot of mellow pits. The majority are mellow. The problem is with people who still breed them to fight tend to inbreed and give them alot mental issues.

>anything about how it will react if you or yours need him.
I disagree, im not saying im going to start dropping dogs in pits or that anyone should but if the information is out there then its a possibility. Im not saying watching one video of one dog will give you all the information you need to know but each breed generally fights a little differnt due to bone mass, size, weight, and body shape. So no it wont tell how your particular dog will fight or act but it will give you an idea of what to expect.f

I didnt mean for it to come off so absolute.

I have mixed emotions, in some ways i feel like their is no way that dog is healthy but at the same time im in aww at its size. Then im disgusted by its owner and how he is using it.

I dont think its a pitbull though. It looks like a bulldog with some pitbull features. It almost looks like a dogue de bourdeux nose and muzzle.

This.

Like, my baby girl is one of the most important things in my life. She knows me best. Idk what the fuck im gunna do when she kicks the bucket. Which will likely be a lot sooner than i thought when i got her.

Was told she was 3 when i adopted her. Took her to the vet and the vet said she is at least 7. Now that ive had her for over a year, i noticed that her front teeth are ground down ALOT more than what a 7 year old dogs should be.

>>34021814
I'm the k9 guy. Mals are great working dogs but horrible pets. If I needed to do bite work or detection I'd take a mal but for anything else fuck that. They're like adhd kids smoking meth and snorting coke on the side.

Excellent working dogs but they need a constant task. One of my instructors bred mals and would tell us stories about them jumping through glass windows because they saw a squirrel. The army got in trouble on a secret service mission in 2010. The handler threw a reward and it bounced off the roof and his mal just jumped to go get it with no regard that it was three stories up. That incident caused the army to be blocked from USSS missions for a few years.

>>34022907

you or someone was attacked by a pit at some point in your pathetic lives so now you hold a grudge on the whole breed? Right?

Different anon, pits are the only breeds I've ever had to deal with aggression from. Only type of dog that has ever legitimately tried to attack me too and that was scary as fuck. I have to agree, pits are like niggers. There can be good ones but they're just subhuman/dog

>>34022909

Bullshit.

>>34022909
I believe it. At my gsd protection training class the mals were intense. Like a cracked out gsd turned up to 11. Watching them work is a sight to see but I could not imagine having one as a pet.

>>34022957
Recently they started sewing the stomach to the muscle around the rib cage. I'm not really sure what exactly the procedure pertains to. The younger dogs have it done but not all of them, just depends on if lackland is doing it for that batch of dogs, although it's becoming more and more common.

I used to clean pools and probably dealt with 100s of different dogs. Never had problems with anything except pits. And they were scary as fuck. I used to carry a baton for one of the houses that had 3 pits that would bark their ass off, follow me, and pretend to charge me all the time. Probably one of the scariest things I ever dealt with

>>34023050
thats not how it works

If a dog is brought in to do a job but doesn't get a chance to actually work they have to still let out that steam so to speak.
think of it like a working dog version of blue balls

>>34023050
A reward is just a Kong or a ball. He threw it and it bounced off the roof. This was during a secret service mission, depending on what you're doing there is a ton of down time to dick around with your dog.


For a few years secret service missions were restricted to air force handlers because of dumb shit like that the army handlers kept doing getting reprimanded for. That was the straw that broke the camel's back and ended up restricting them from USSS missions completely.

>>34023047
>Animals have natural insticts and every breed is different, pits are more prone to violence, fucking get over yourself

If thats the case, then why arent they ALL prone to violence? They ALL have the same ancestor, The wolf, which is incredibly violent. Hell, one of my friends had a wolf-dog as a pet till the day it died and never had a single fucking issue with it. So dont give me that fucking bullshit.

>Rank drive is the drive to attain higher social status, and in an aggressive dog this can also mean rank aggression. Rank driven dogs will look to own/dominate everyone and everything they can. Rottweilers are an example of a breed with high rank drive. You will know rank driven dogs because they will show dominance every chance they get. This includes taking things from others, leaning on others, making others move, protectiveness of objects/ownership, humping, standing over others, refusal to follow commands. A non-rank driven dog will mostly not do these things because they’re happy with their social status. Between dogs of near equal rank these behaviors will show up even in non-rank driven dogs, but won’t be directed at their master. There are major problems with a rank driven working dog. Rank drive is a social drive, meaning it’s mostly directed at their own pack – that’s who they have to contend with to attain higher pack status. The obvious problem with an agressive rank drive dog is if they feel they out rank you and their rank has been challenged, they will want to correct you aggressively. If they feel you out rank them they will be looking for an opportunity to gain rank, waiting for you to show weakness. That can be anything from laying down on the floor, to catching a cold, or to being sad. A rank driven dog is obviously not a good dog to be around the elderly, children, or people who sometimes show weakness. Also, if you are attacked by someone the dog may see that as an opportunity to attack you as well and gain rank while you’re down. That’s not a very good guard dog. Lastly, if the dog isn’t aggressive enough to do those things but is still primarily rank driven, then any aggression you see, even against intruders is most likely a bluff. Even if the dog is not bluffing and is willing to bite, a dog may ‘cur’ (just stop trying) if it thinks it cannot dominate a target. Again, not what you want in a guard dog.

>DOMINANCE VS DEFENSE
People often confuse Dominance and Defense, or feel like you can’t have one without the other. This is a very common mistake even among experienced dog trainers. The reason this is so common is because in many breeds it’s generally true. In German Shepherds, Rottweilers, American Bulldogs, and similar breeds it’s especially true. These breeds, like most dogs, have lost their ability to tell who’s in their pack and who isn’t. Most dogs are like this that’s why most dogs feel like everyone they meet is family. In a wolf pack the pack is their family, their reactions are very different to creatures outside their pack.

>Between pack members there are social interactions. These include play, cooperative hunting, grooming, submission and dominance, etc. The whole point of dominance and submission is to stop pack members from killing each other, it would be very bad for the pack otherwise. If a conflict arises inside the pack and a fight breaks out, it’s settled when one animal submits to the other and gives up – usually by rolling on their backs to show vulnerability, which is a clear demonstration that they aren’t trying to fight. A very submissive wolf won’t try to fight in this scenario. Two Pack member wolves fighting because of an argument aren’t usually trying to kill each other just to settle things. This is the kind of fighting dogs and wolves do for dominance. Teenage boys do the same thing in school yards around the world, fighting over a certain chair at the lunch table, the right of way down the hall, a certain girl, etc. No one’s trying to kill anyone, they’re just trying to see who’s going to give up first, and who going to claim the status of the biggest and the baddest.

>>34023504
>If the pack is threatened by a mountain lion, for example, they recognize that this isn’t a pack member, and react with defense. Defense is purely the fight or flight response. If they have to fight they aren’t fighting for dominance, they’re fighting for survival. Fight or flight is the out of pack equivalent of dominance or submission. In a fight like that if they feel like they’re losing they won’t roll over and submit because that would mean quick death; instead they run. There is no submission in defense, they fight to the death or run for their lives. The whole pack fights from the most dominant to the most submissive. Social status isn’t a consideration in a fight for survival. This is also why wolves maintain clear borders to their territories. Two separate wolf packs will kill each other if they encounter each other, they don’t seek dominance. This is like a man fighting an alligator, he’s not looking to settle a dispute he’s looking to survive and kill if that’s what it takes.

>Most dogs have what is basically a mental disorder to see every person or dog they meet as their pack members. This is great for hunting dogs and pets because they can easily accept new dogs and people without conflict. The problem is that some guard breeds have this as well so in order for them to be aggressive with strangers they have to use social aggression – dominance. A dominant guard dog isn’t seeking to eliminate a threat to itself and it’s pack, it’s looking to be sure they understand his high social status. This is why you’ll often see dominant breeds humping the decoy and doing other dominant posturing. It’s also the reason a dog who’s fighting in dominance can “cur” which happens when they feel like the opponent is too hard to dominate, so they submit.

>Some breeds, mostly primitive breeds like Mastiffs, still understand the difference between pack members and non pack members. Mastiffs are known for having high suspicion and strong defensive reactions to strangers, combined with very gentile and extremely loyal natures to their families. Having this very clear understanding that the people they live with are their pack and no one else is, gives them the ability to be very submissive, and still fight to protect themselves and their packs. They’re expecting everyone to fight the threat off not just the alpha. That’s what makes them such great family guardians, they can submit to everyone in their family and rage against a dangerous outsider.

>I’ve had people ask “without dominance how will your dog react to a dominant opponent?”. My thinking is if the person is dominant and not threatening then I don’t what my dog killing someone for standing confidently. If the person is a threat from outside the pack my kind of dog won’t care if they are postured dominantly any more than a wolf pack would care if the mountain lion had his tail up. They’re in fight or flight they aren’t looking for social cues.

>So as long as the dog has good pack instincts and strong defense drive he can be both very submissive and very protective. Everyone fights to protect the pack, only the alphas fight to run it.

>This is important because in a family situation you don’t want a dog who has the same basic reactions to a “bad guy” and his family, a dominant rank aggressive dog who’s willing to fight a grown man for rank will not be afraid to fight a toddler for rank. A military or police dog who’s kept in a kennel until time to work and only worked by a strong alpha type man isn’t a problem. When one is brought into a home and allowed to freely interact with children, who will inevitably hug the dog, pat him too hard, take his bone, jump on his back, or decide to hit him with a stick, the risk of fatal danger becomes unacceptable. Even if I didn’t have children, I personally don’t want to have to always butt heads with my dog for the right to run my household. A guard dog should add safety to his family not risk.

dogs would just get themselves killed in combat. They don't know to fear or avoid knives or guns. If a dog attacked me I'd just let it chew on my leg a little and then shoot it in the head or cut its throat.

I would take my dog innawoods as an indicator dog, he is already trained to indicate deer by freezing and looking back at me for a hand signal. This would be usefull on patrol to detect enemy ambush etc.

Guys I'm fairly certain that my kitty would either defend me with his dying breath or casually let me get raped to death as he cleans himself

Last week when I was taking him for a walk, my towering nigger neighbor approached us unannounced from behind. He wanted to ask me something innocuous it seems, but when both my cat and I noticed him, we were both surprised and startled. Without hesitation, my cat jumped between us, puffed out his tail, and started hissing at the nigger.

Luckily his animal instinct kicked in and he ran the fuck away in the blink of an eye, but it was good to know that my cat had good animal instincts too.

https://youtu.be/Dw9AwaJaVGU

Video related. Obviously I can never be sure with how temperamental cats are, but he and I have an understanding. I'd like to think I'm more than a source of food and shelter for him, but you can never really know with cats. But I do know he's smart enough to know that if I were injured or killed, his food and shelter are gone, so it'd be in both our best interests for me to stay alive, and for my cat watch over and keep me safe.

You're wrong about the re targeting thing. The owners are in the pit as the dogs fight. The jowels most people seem to love get fanged and the dogs get separated mid fight, owner unhooks his dogs lip for lack of a better word and they carry on.

Been deployed three times as k9. We just do detection down range, for example route clearance, looking for caches, and explosive precursors.

During a firefight we aren't shooters, our job is to protect the explosive asset so when a firefight happens I book it to the back of the formation or take cover of there's any. We shoot back but that isn't my primary job, that's for the infantry, mp's, or whoever I'm attached to at the time.

The only time we'd let the dog off leash to attack is for "squirters." A squirter is someone that runs off during a hard or soft knock raid. Another example would be looking for someone in an area, or searching a house for someone hiding.

We don't release the dog during firefights because that would be fucking retarded, however comma there are dogs that have saved their handlers after the handler gets shot. Mostly in Vietnam while k9 was doing l.p./op's by themselves.

Here is an example.

USAF handler gets ambushed by VC sappers and his dog fucking kills them after the handler goes down and even after the dog himself is shot through the face. They still maintain a kennel in memorial at lackland for the dog "NEMO A534."

>>34023174
>they're more prone to violence than any other dogs
not true, although they are the most lethal attacks. The fequency of attack is labradors, golden retrievers, and german sheperds.

The problems is we have no clue the context of these attacks. Dog almost never attack people without a reason and some of reason can be the dog defending themselves or their owners.

whats going on with the barrel of that rifle.

>>34027092

I live in NZ where ear cropping is illegal and never hear of infections from floppy ears fwiw that being said our dogs clean each others ears out.

>>34027106
It's a 45-70 Lee enfield, that I made. Not a Gibbs summit, tho I do have one of those as well. I sleeved the barrel with bearing bronze, I acquired some bronze, and wanted a pirate gun, I'll post a pic in a few.

>>34027143
the ear infections occur in certain breeds more than others. I dont thinking cropping or docking is wrong because each have their place especially with hunting dogs.

>>34027147
How much does it weigh? I have a friend with a double barrel 12 gauge turned into a double barrel .45-70 and it weighs a awkward 12 pounds.

What are you guys training your dogs?

So far I have these commands -

Sit or sssssss (stay is implied)
Down (stay is implied)
Stop
Heel
Go on (cast out front about 8 - 10 metres)
Come
Seek (drops head and follow the scent)
Bring it here

I also use some hand signals for leap frogging cover to cover which is come and sit but he also picks up on the fact the tempo is slow and creeps steadily and is very alert.

If I go prone he hauls ass to me and lays down and currently training him to crawl beside me.

>>34027182

I don't even think I can train another dog as well as I did that Rottweiler. Fuck me.

>>34031789
those turtles ain't healthy nigga

"Several causes can lead to pyramiding, including excessive animal or vegetable protein; inadequate calcium, sunlight, and/or vitamin D3; and excessive moisture / poor nutrition foods"

Stop feeding your turtles dogfood, also your tank is too small, I use a minimum 20 gallons of tank per turtle

>>34030758

Not sure of your knowledge or level of training so dont feel like I am telling you how to suck eggs. You need to use the slip chain to apply pressure and communicate to the dog that in order to turn off the pressure it needs to comply with a command. In the instances you describe the leash pressure should be short sharp jerks.

For example if my dog moves out of heel to try and go sniff something I give 2 or 3 sharp hard jerks, the dog learns to turn off the pressure it needs to move back into heel.

The key is to follow through and release every jerk otherwise the dog will instinctively want to pull against the opposing force. The chain is not designed to choke the dog. Think of the chain tightning and loosening as the mothers bite and the sound of the chain as the mothers growl. Your not trying to hurt the dog your communicating with the dog in dog language. If you can get your dog walking at heel I think alot of its anxiety will dissapear.

maybe, she put up with all the pokes and pulling i could throw her way. My dad said that when i was really little(2-3 years old). I would lay my head on her and watch TV. While i would watch TV i would reach back and grab a titty and pull it and let it go.(i know, pleas forgive).

One of the best dogs i have ever owned. She was my shadow and kept me safe from all sort of harm and fowl. She even bit my dad once when he went to pop me.

When i was a kid i would move around alot in my sleep and i would often fall off the bed. So she would lay on the floor next to my bed so if i fell i she could break my fall.

It broke my heart when she died.

The reason I ask is you want to convey to the dog that everything is fine and take the attitude "bro what the fucks wrong with you, idiot!" Instead of "hey buddy whats wrong? Are you ok?" Your reinforcing the undesireable behaviour by doing that and not showing yourself to be a strong leader which will put the dog at ease.

Or you could just spay and neuter ur dog like a normal human being

Kill yourself.

That fucks dogs up. Makes male dogs get tall and their heads never grow fully.

If somebodys first idea for controlling a dog is neutering it they shouldnt own a dog.

>>34035716
been there tried that for about a year.

As someone who previously worked for a humane society animal shelter, that's wrong. Spaying and neutering your dog is good for you, your animal, and dogs as a whole considering how many unwanted animals are sitting in shelters because people didn't want to spay and neuter thier dog or forced thier dog to give birth to as many litters as possible so they could sell the puppies at a Walmart parking lot of which probably 50% of those puppies end up at a shelter.

there is no reason to cut of any part of a healthy doggo.

no. they are sitting in the shelters because of shitty owners.
my male dog had a vasectomy, because i didnt want to get my bitch pregnant by him.
his balls are still there, they even mate when she is in heat.
just no more puppy juice.
there is no valid reason for procedures like
removing most of the reproductive tract in any dog, just lazy owners that should own a dog.

I bought my dog off a breeder who bred for the known traits I wanted. I dont intend to breed my dog or neuter him. Dont lump responsible owners in with nigger scum.

They're not actually my dogs, I'm roommates with the owners
