Dog Health Questions: A question for dog owners on training their pets........?

I was at the dog park today and someones poodle puppy (6-9 months old) jumped on me. It is a super sweet dog, very, very, nice. The second time it tried, I lifted my knee and, of course, the dog landed on it. It stopped. A couple of people got really upset with me, and accused me of kicking it. They even lied and said they SAW me kick it. This was an absolute LIE!
Here is the deal......if you don't train your dog, I WILL. I will not be the recipient of smeared dog park mud (i.e. feces, urine, and dirt). If your dog jumps on people, that makes YOU the rude person, NOT ME! People often ask me why my dog is so well behaved (and clearly NOT abused). Maybe it's because I trained him. My dog has been attacked many times before. When this happens, I attack the attacker, no ifs ands or buts!
Either you be alpha with your dog, or I WILL. Pepper spray will knock the living crap out of a dog. I am tired of paying vet bills!
Is your dog trained, or are you just another jerk?

How to Use Dog Training Books to Reinforce You Dog's Good Behavior



Recommended Answer:
That is exactly how I teach my dogs about jumping, if they jump they will hit my knee. Some people think that jumping or other bad behaviors is cute and that everyone else feels that way. I had the same experience when training my pup on a leash. When they pull you snap the leash so it makes that "snap" nose right behind their ears, it startles the dog and thus will cease pulling or whatnot. the leash DOES NOT ever even touch the dog but I got a couple of people rushing over to me and accusing me of beating my dog with a leash. The way I see it, a well trained dog is a happy dog

Major Breakthrough in Dog Training Revealed


  • I don't know about where you live but where I live you must keep your dogs on a leash if they are out of you house. they are to be restrained at all times. my dogs are trained

  • I understand your anger I believe that it is the pet owners responsibility to train his/her pet, but I don`t understand your response to it. You talk about pepper spraying a dog?
    You as a person can not control other peoples pets. By going to the dog park (Which is open to the public) you know that there will be dogs there that don`t have the training that you desire. If you have a problem with this then don`t go to the dog park any more. There are many other ways for you to exercise your dog.

  • I agree with you completely, some people just think they know it all, my dog, a amstaff/pit-bull was attacked five times, twice by a neighbors German Shephered whom was inproperly supervised, this dog was once off a leash sitting in their front yard, and came wailing towards my dog, I grabbed that dog by it's collar and let my dog run for it, cause she clearly was not defending herself at all, instead she wanted to run away to safety. The second time, that dog was in the owners car, and jumped out of the window, viciously barking and again, attacked my dog, I did the same thing as I did before. The third time, it was a cat, I don't know if there was a litter around that she was protecting but she came at my dog with a vengeance, and again, my dog ran, that was acually the funniest site I ever did see.
    Fourth time I rescued a neutered male dog, and he attacked my dog in the backseat of our truck, I called up the girl whom adopted him out to me and gave him back.
    The fifth time, I was at the dog park with my dog, and my dog was playing with all these other dogs, and then she found a ball that was two feet away from a border collie, that dog came after her so fast, that she didn't know what to do. The owner simply said "OH, he gets that way with his stuff..." the ball wasn't even the dogs ball, but the dog parks.

    People really don't know how to handle their animals and it's a shame that you were wrongly accused of doing the right thing.

  • When I was in training I was told the dog park is where you take your dog to show him how not to act.

    Animal control told me to becareful of pepperspray depending on which way the wind is blowing you can get yourdog or yourself.

  • somewhat trained...he is a lil hardhead...but i am the alpha..if i raise my voice he stops what he is doing to wait for the next command..but he is soooo loving its hard for him not to jump up on people a bit, and he is very small so its not a big deal...if he was like a big ol dog I would be a little more wary of him jumping up on people, if i see someone does not want to love on my dog i just make sure we ignore him. if i thought someone kicked my dog or did something that made my dog get hurt I would break that persons neck. sometimes that is what happens when you try to "train" someones dog.

  • the biggest problem I have had at dog parks is aggressive dogs, my dog cares about absolutely nothing if I have his Frisbee, he is so focused on it that other dogs pick up on his intensity and pack up around him to chase him when I throw it, he can have 10 dogs bouncing around him and he never takes his focus off the Frisbee, but there seems to be some dogs that see his intense focus as a challenge and I have had to swat aggressive dogs with his soft, dog safe Frisbee as they lunge growling at him, not to hurt them but to break their charge, only to have some dipshit accuse me of beating his dog, I am apparently the only dog owner who knows how to read a dogs body language well enough to know there is about to be a fight, I don't believe in "dogs must always be on a leash", my dog has been through very high level obedience training, he is trained well enough to be called and turn his back on a potential fight or a running deer, dogs need to get out and run, but you as an owner need to know your dog and be there when and if he/she should cause a problem, I should never have to grab your 100lb golden off my dog and huck it 20 feet into an irrigation ditch........but I will if you aren't there with me to help break up a fight, and I don't wanna hear any crap about how I do it.
