also I resent the implication that I would ever strike a dog. Like training children, hitting is for retarded people who are incapable of constructive problem solving

[Trotskilicious]

also how much did you actually participate in this training, i think a lot of animal know it alls tend to think it's really easy since they actually just lived with a well trained dog and took partial credit

i have caught chauncey raiding the cat box so many times, i have scolded him and put him in time out. these things worked for stuff like widdling on the floor or takin a doozer on the rug but it has never worked for cat shit. it's meth to him.

i have to watch him outside to make sure he's not unearthing treasure troves of moldering cat feces. it's really incredible the dedication and it doesn't matter how much i scold him, even when you catch him doing it, or what have you he's just compelled to fill his face with it

on the other hand the other dog doesn't even bother with it, and she is not well trained

so in sum: shut the fuck up redbreegull

all dogs are different and are therefore motivated by different things. you're lucky to have dogs that don't love eating shit. many dogs love eating shit to the point where nothing, and i mean nothing, will get between them and their shit unless you drag them away and pick it up. this isn't a behavioral problem.

some dogs enjoy praise. others favor milkbones.

some think shit is the best thing ever.

[Bread Regal]

the fact that you're not parroting bs you heard from the dog whisperer is commendable though.

[Bread Regal]

why is he called a dog whisperer when he's more of a dog strangler.

[redbreegull]

yeah FB no matter how many times you bring it, you're still a worthless piece of shit if you are suggesting it is ok to let a woman get beaten

[Bread Regal]

oh man

my post in that thread is completely awful

[redbreegull]

looking back I would no longer punch a guy in the neck for waving his balls at me, but I would definitely still punch a guy in the neck for attacking my girlfriend

[Bread Regal]

when it comes to something like that kicking someone in the balls is totally fair right

[Bread Regal]

i mean if your goal is to incapacitate them, what's the point in pussyfooting when you could end the fight in one blow.

[Future Boy]

you should just hit anything and everything

[Future Boy]

thats the chicago way

yeah, the guy was really big though, he had at least 4 or 5 inches on me, and I was behind him. He was kind of in a doorway IIRC and was going forward towards my ex. Like I said in my original post, what happened didn't involve higher level decision making. There was just this singular moment when my brain was like well she is either gonna get hit or you could get him, who do you wanna be? Then it was just an adrenaline blur. There was no real choice to be made.

redbreegull considering how often you are wrong, and how often you overestimate your own capability i'm pretty much going to guess that you're full of absolute shit and i wonder if you even have been the sole provider for a dog, responsible for all of its training and etc. I'm pretty confident you're taking credit for your family's dogs, and further, i'm also thinking there's several other factors contributing to the idea that you're just the best dog trainer in the whole world

thank you for having my back john, chauncey is like tyrone biggums but for cat feces

[Trotskilicious]

and maybe he isn't trained well, i don't really care all that much i just make sure the cat feces is away from him and i make sure he doesn't dig it up like a little turd truffle hunter

he doesn't do tricks but he comes when he's called

he's sweet, he's friendly and has a lovely demeanor. you can be condescending about what a fantastic trainer you are but i'm still calling bullshit

[Trotskilicious]

i'm sure redbreegull has some suggestions, my dog is out of control and i'm a bad person so i can't help

[redbreegull]

for me to think I'm some kind of super dog trainer, it would actually have to mean that training a dog to not eat shit is hard, which it isn't.

[redbreegull]

is your dog james iha by chance

[redbreegull]

my boarding today is just an example of why I should never sit at home all day on a weekday

dogs with shoe fetishes

[Bread Regal]

there are multiple things that can contribute to that kind of behavior, pavementtune. sometimes it is the result of a health issue that affects the dog's sense of smell. they are compelled to lick things because it helps them detect odors more easily.

other than that, there is nothing you can do beyond keeping the shoes out of reach. if shoes taste good, they taste good and it'd be like leaving a steak on the floor while you're not home and asking them to not eat it.

sorry.

after a decade it's been incredibly hard for me but you still have yet to provide any advice at all so you are definitely full of shit.

seriously i'd love some advice on how to get my 10+ year old dog to stop treating cat shit like bubbles treats smack

[Trotskilicious]

maybe chunky biscuits would like to eat your shit
