what to do with a mad dog?

Well, I have been attacked by dogs, here in LA and in DC/VA also, because some A$$holes train(read: ABUSE) them to be "fighting dogs" or whatever. They will attack anyone at anytime. I was also attacked by a dog at an impound lot, which bit me pretty good-(DOG LOVERS STOP READING HERE) Had to use my pocket folder to put it down. Not fun, ruined some good clothes and left a nice scar.

I don't blame the dogs for any of this, the owners are the criminals. Still, they usually cannot be rehibilitated after that kind of abuse and must be put down.
 
Walk over to your neighbors when they are home. Politely knock on the door ask to see their dog. Pull out your Model 870 and 12 gauge it with slugs. Hand them a copy of your receipt with your current ammo purchase listed on it. Finally let them know you fully expect them to compensate you for the time and shells spent.

Right about this point is where you would be getting the business end of MY firearm.

I think I need to change my sigline for the direction this forum is taking these days:

Depends on the dog. 50,000 volts is gonna stop the dogs body EASILY but with some dogs it won't stop his determination to get you.

Electric collar Fences didn't work for a couple of my Rotties. In fact, the zaps my boy Pono got when crossing the boundry REALLY pissed him off and got him barking and carrying on like a crazy dog whenever it happened. He wanted payback for the pain he was experiencing. What made it worse is, if he was on the charge? He'd blast right through the barrier ending up on the other side in a rage. Not good.

Anyway... to be real honest? If anyone were to harm my dogs on my property because they were bitten trasspassing? I would shoot them. I know it's wrong, I'm not stupid, but my dogs are like my kids and if they were not in the wrong? I would rather shoot whomever was hurting my dogs than harm my dogs for doing their job. Someone coming up to my house with a loaded gun is gonna find himself in a gunfight before getting a shot at my dogs.

Now, being a responsible dog owner if my dogs were to cause harm outside of my property I would take full responsibility for it. It is my job to keep my dogs under control and it would be my fault if they got out and hurt anyone.
 
Wow. SO now we have people shooting other PEOPLE because they shot their dogs? Are you guys crazy?? Its a DOG! I am NOT for tresspassing on people's property, murdering dogs or any such bull - owned plenty myself and have a Shepard now...but the incident posted is a dog who repeatedly goes after someone in a public place who has a right to be there. And an adult is one thing - how about YOUR kid getting charged like that? Things change ALOT when the dog is seeing eye to eye with a child. Let me tell you - a "mad" dog goes for me, and especially my kid, as described here, I intervene directly BEFORE I/he gets his face bit up, and take one on the arm if I have to, but that DOG is going down for good. He deserves to.

From the little I could see in that video, the pitbull did not appeared crazed at all, nor did it appear to be a threat to anything but the dog it attacked at the start. Maybe the OWNER of the pitbull should be shot, but, the dog wasn't threatening any human I could see...

So let’s get this straight. There was nothing wrong with the dog’s behavior other than the minor detail of it attacking another dog – but it wasn’t a human so no biggie. The dog was not crazed at all. Oh yeah, and we should shoot the owner.

Riiiiiiight. :rolleyes:

You know what, I love my dogs more than most humans, and I'm sure most dog lovers/dog owners feel the same way. But I'll never understand anyone with the propensity for justifying aggressive dog behavior while at the same time condemning a resolute response by humans. I'm not necessarily addressing Socrates on that point - there are other to which that applies.

Unprovoked aggressive dog behavior should not be tolerated. Once dogs develop the tendencies associated with attacking other dogs and especially humans, it’s usually not a matter of if, but when a more serious attack will take place.

Most dog owners are not inclined to recognize the signs, nor skilled enough to reverse the tendencies in time to ensure the animal will maintain a calm domesticated demeanor. Owners fault – sure. But fault is not the point. Fault does not address the community’s obligation to deal with aggressive dogs in a resolute manner.
 
Maybe you just smell like a MAIL MAN. I hear they can tell if you are from a mile away. Mailmen must be total ***** to dogs for them to remeber. Have you tried to befriend it? I come across stray dogs here at my house all the time. Just irresponsible people who don't lock their gates. They are usually shy at first if they are not accustomed to strangers coming up to them to be friends. I give them a biscuit or one of those dog salamis and by the second or third time they dont shy away but instead they think I am the owner. Lets see so far its been a boxer mix, a lab (Why did the lab cross the street? To scare the mailman!) a chow, a GSD, and a rottweiler that just layed down and I pet for a while until the owner came driving around. That mailman should be fired! He threw the mailbag at the dog like you would throw a purse at a snatcher. Whatever happened to...how's that go again...Through rain or shine blah blah blah blah the mail must get there or something like that :) But it was funny how that dog carefully went sneaking around the car and turned that guy's red hair white! I just picked up the dog and took him back across the street to my house. He didn't say anything. Probably alreay met the dog wherever he really lives.

All I can say is wow. What a B.S. response! That is exactly the kind of worthless input we don't need on TFL. And let me tell you that if I see an idiot (and I do mean idiot) with a 12 gauge (or any gun) approaching my home, you won't be seeing my dog.:rolleyes:

Alot of dogs are just trying to show off. If you stand your ground you should be fine. Whatever you do, don't run. I have been "charged" a few times and what I have done is stomp my foot and take a step forward while raising my arms. The dog usually stops dead in his tracks. Sometimes they even turn around and high tail it back where they came from. The whole douse it with a cup full of water thing is a great idea, very effective. I had to do this to a stray awhile back and it worked extremely well. Maybe because it was a big gulp full of Mountain Dew. I would definately inform the Apt manager though.
 
Well, this went from the tactics of avoiding loosing the seat of your pants to a K-9, to armed confrontations with dog owners.

It was a wrap anyhow, but this.......
