i hear ya Jimmy
but some people actually train their dogs!
i leash train my dogs at eight weeks old or 6 weeks old
depending on when i get the pup...for two months straight
they don't do what i say- when i say it- i make them do it...
there's no maybe i'll do it... because what ever you let them do becomes a habit.
it's snap your fingers and they do what you ask
with allot of praise and reward for their obedience after wards
no ifs, ands, or buts... and it's for their own darn good...
such as no jumping out of a car window stopped or moving
like when i arrive anywhere in the car i sit for almost a minute
perfectly still and silent so there's no tendency for bolting
and the dog doesn't dare get out until i say the magic "OK"
that being said...my dogs are always herding dogs that need to
run and fetch everything you throw for them...
dogs cannot run and fetch when on a six foot leash
and some dogs absolutely live for that
i just think that some beaches could have a section dedicated for them....
and the owners should have plastic bags for stool pick up
or be heavily fined ...
I have been attacked by a dog that tore all my clothes off as a kid
and it even ripped and tore off my underwear,my shirt, and i had to
take my shredded pants and wrap them around me like a diaper just to walk home.
I had many bite marks and scratches all over me too.
on the other hand i do not believe in recoil leashes as one almost
killed my mother in law when her little dog ran it around her legs
twice tripping her as she stumbled all tied up and came so close to
(just 2 inches away)
bashing in her skull on a brick mailbox enclosure.
that i thank God it did not happen.... too.
