- Hasan admits that putting them in a confined space together isn't a good idea (both dogs are in a baby gate play yard that's about 5'x4')
- Fiona is already growling at Kaya for getting too close to her face (Fiona is chewing on a hide-- does Hasan know whether Fiona is food/treat aggressive and if she would actually hurt Kaya? I doubt it or if he cares. After watching this, I think he might enjoy it.)
- "Kaya being the little bitch that she is (I want to emphasize that he actually sounds angry every time he talks about Kaya), is bored of the attention that she's not getting from Fiona and is doing everything in her power to be more of an annoyance and more of a nuisance" (Yeah man, that's how puppies behave??)
This is making me angry. I love dogs, grew up with them, made some pocket change training some, and so on. The only reason I don't have a dog right now is that I travel too often; I wouldn't subject a dog to me being gone for months at a time.
The issue is that while there is value in exposing your dog to other dogs and animals, this is abuse.
They don't have enough room to move away as is needed, because HASAN the fuckign dog abuser wants them on stream.
Yes, having dogs correct each other is fine, but they should never bite. As soon as bittign starts, something has gone wrong. Now, I am not talking about Inhibited biting, when the dog "bites" with no real force. That is still a bad sign, but a real bite is the last thing you would ever want.
It would be equivalent to you hitting your dog with a haymaker to teach it a lesson.
Because there are times some animal behavior is so dangerous to the animal or others (such as running out into traffic) that an animal otherwise resistant to training will get itself killed or kill something else unless dealt immediate negative reinforcement. It's reasonable to use such devices on animals to confine them to a LARGE space like a front and back yard especially next to a highway or other dangerous place dogs would get killed in.
Also sometimes you end up with a salvageable dog with really bad behaviors inherited from the shitty previous owner, so it takes more severe measures to discipline than it would with a young dog.
A neighbor of mine back in the day used a shock collar on their rescue. It was a good dog, but it really wanted to bite Cows and Horses, and this was pretty rural. They tried to teach and did their best, but in the end, they put a shock collar on it so if it tried to get into the grassing area, it would get shocked. Slowly, it learnt.
In this case, it was either the shock collar or being put down. Can't have the dog mauling the neighbor's livestock.
Not because they needed it as a dam ornament.
