Well , Chip's now hog tied with the timer set for 30 minutes... I had to duct tape his mouth. He usually eats at 5 pm , but will give him a handful of kibble when the bell rings. I've taken up all his toys and the futon is off limits. I'll stick him in the cold garage tonight, without a blanket . I'm now in tears thinking that some people could actually do this !!!!! Glad he can't read , as he's sacked out next to me, warm and cozy after a nice supper and a romp with his woobie friends ! If he only knew what lives some dogs lead !!
Ah, looks like I got some laughs from my comment. Sorry if anyone took me seriously. What I said is a common misconception about the GSD.
I hear you guys with the macho thing and the dog pulling the handler down the street. But its not just a man thing. My experience with this kind of dog was a woman being pulled down the street by a boxer looking mix, a big handsome guy but obviously not trained at all on the lead. Gunnar was about 6 months old and he started to bark at the other dog, and she comments "Oh, he's a tough guy", insinuating her dog was tougher (which he was- he was full grown and about 80-90lbs). I thought to myself, well, at least my dog knows how to walk on a leash and isn't pulling me all over the place!
Once again, to clarify, here is a dog that will rip out your throat if you turn your back on him:
