I have now seen everything.
I am literally shaking as I write this. I was crusing military forums and I have stumbled across a thread in which some supposed military dog handler had advocated seriously injuring the military dogs for discipline.
Now other people are asking for the proper techniques for puching, kicking, and choking out a dog. I can't tell if the poster is tongue in cheek or trying to get the dog beater in trouble but the moron who first advocated those training methods needs to be "choked out" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
It came across as tongue in cheek to me, a polite way of calling the guy a blithering idiot. If you really want to piss the original poster off, ask him some more really condescending questions and poke fun at him. Chances are it's mostly BS anyway, a braggart trying to sound tough.
That is horrible!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> I certainly hope that response was tongue-n-cheek. Unfortunately, that sort of thing happens with all types of animal training.
Watched K9 Bootcamp on Animal Planet the other day and was wondering why so many of the dogs ,mostly Mals, had docked tails? Not saying that it was from some sort of abuse....just curious. One of the dogs had to be retired due to a collapsed trachea.
Renee, It was at Lackland AFB, but I don't remember the officers name that was in charge.
It is amazing to me that the dogs do as well as they do with so many different handlers. The green dogs anyway. Many of the dogs appeared to be handler aggressive. Could this be part of the problem? IMO it would be hard for man and dog to work as a team under these circumstances.
Debbie-
on the docked tails-part of my military duties included work at vet kennels/hospitals and some of the military posts dock tails, some don't. Up to the vet at that installation, from what I picked up.
Having a had to deal with lots of stairs with the Puppyman, I have to say the thought occured to me more than once that long sabre type tail can be a real hazard-both for the handler to stumble over and if you were to really crunch down on one with a steel toe-I think there's times you don't want the dog to let loose with a big yip, or get a tail broken. hmmm. I understand why it might get done routinely and as a result of one of those nice military police boots accidentally stomping on them.
Some of the vets were just like "oh, yeah, while he's here, just go ahead and let's have that tail off". Other places I think don't think about it at all.
Yeah, I can see where long tails could cause a problem....especially the ones that get wagged alot. Like in some secret mission! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hehehe...yeah, those secret agent dogs really get their wag on.
None of the dogs at the kennel here in Quantico are docked. And they've got some fearsome lookin' hounds here. One very large Mal, in particular. I think they feed him city buses.
