Anxiety in public, reactivness and lunging...

[houndlove]

Can someone please explain to me why it is always the schutzhund/protection/bitework wannabes who always cop this obnoxious belittling attitude on internet forums? Is this a testosterone thing? Is this about how your dogs can beat up our dogs? Because me and my rather large dogs are quaking in our boots over here. *eyeroll* Grow up.

It is so extremely off-putting and makes me never want to never get involved in any of the above sports or fields if this is what the people who participate in them are like.

Interesting, I see it as the other way around. opcorn:

 

[houndlove]

Yeah, can't say that I've ever told someone they don't have a real dog becuase we don't participate in the same performance events. Nor implied that one kind of event is better than another. OR even ever said that someone else's training methods simply don't work (which I and others keep having to clarify repeatedly for some reason). Yet this person marches in here and does all of the above. It's really not a great advertisement for the sports he's so gangbusters about.

Do you ever have anything of value to say?? And by the way, do the people who own the horses in your sig. know you are using the pics?

Ahhh Awe Hail and Fast Movin Finny yes, thanks. Do you have anything of value to say to me?

You know, I was thinking about doing Schutzhund, not with Sarama, but with a future dog. I'm reconsidering . . . frankly, I think the culture would be . . . off-putting.

 

[ACooper]

Lilavati........all people in Sch ARE NOT like that person! There are some people with dobes that I have chatted with and posted with and they are very nice genuine people with great dogs that ARE not mistreated

Don't be put off certain types that CLAIM to know what they are doing

 

[Doberluv]

Well.....all I've got to say (because I will no longer indulge in conversation with people who do not have an inkling about animal behavior) is...........I love this: "Clean up in aisle 5." Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Tosacasmom!

Absolutely not.

Absolutely not.

ROFLOL!!!

Hey, lets stop feeding the trolls, shall we?

Good, people like you would ruin my sport(s). I have no testosterone flowing through my body, at least I dont think. Last time I checked I was a girl. its a vicious world, in the protection field, you probably couldnt even last an hour at training.

Beat up your dogs? Wow, ok you believe what you want.

I'm actually one of the nice ones, my mentor is a total dick. You will find alot of people who will "help" you but in reality if your dogs beats theirs, they want nothing more to do with you. And more and likely you'll have to use a...PRONG *gasp*. Maybe not in obedience, but in the beginning of defense drive work. Think you can handle it??

 

[showdawgz]

YOU ALL WERE THE ONES SAYING MY METHODS DID NOT WORK. I NEVER SAID YOUR METHODS DONT WORK, I SAID OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT YOU ALL DO YOUR THING AND I'LL DO MINE.

 

[adojrts]

When you get a real dog, let me know, then we'll talk.

Goodbye, I have nothing else to say to you.

That is very interesting, because all of the working people of ring sport, Sch. or protection dogs, or hunters etc that I have met (met many) generally have respect for Jrts. Because jrts are tough little customers in a small package and to date have not been destroyed by the show ring. Especially those who know jrts as working (hunting) dogs. I know one chap who does k-9 work, competes a bit in Sch. for fun, and trains police dogs plus he is also a hunter. To quote him, 'It's a good thing that jrts are not a 100 lbs or we would all be in trouble, they are incrediable hunting dogs'.

Ya know, I was willing to at least read your opinions, even though we may not agree. But any respect goes out the window, when someone attacks someone else's breed of choice or their dog's.
In all the arguments that have gone around and around here, not once has anyone done an attack on someone else's dog's or breed EXCEPT for Richling and his followers. (unless I missed it but I don't think so)
Yes there have been attacks on method's, even towards people themselves on both sides but that is crossing a line.

 

[showdawgz]

I'm done, its seems mamma gave me a slap on the wrist for bad behavior (like I care, ROFLMAO). You people are hysterical. Nighty nighty yall

..well I will assume your talking about me, because I think Koehler was a good dog trainer back in the days and one of the first training books I ever read. Tell me where I ever said my dogs are better? Just one post.
Honestly your the one telling me what I do and don't have.

Actually on this forum it's the horses and the other forum it's the dogs, funny in a way. Blaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!

I never attacked the breed. I dont have respect for most GSD's and that is my chosen breed. JRT's are good dogs, never doubted that. But prancing around an obedience ring means nothing to me. I give credit where credit is due, just because a dog is a GSD or Mali or Dutchie doesnt mean I respect em.

Nope wrong, I was referring to Richling himself and to Showdawgs. Those are the two that come to mind when I posted that.

Interesting...As I've been very calm and respectful up till now. You obviously didnt read my post. She questioned my dogs ability and in return I questioned hers, nothing more to it than that.
