Holy shit. You think the dog would have stopped attacking after the first few times. Anyone know a back story to this?
>>2078248
Maby its used for an invisible fence. Any way I have seen them on lots of breed of dogs especially labs and retrievers.
>>2078249
Probably rabid - looks like it's in Thirdworldshitholeistan.
That horse is a badass mofo tho, he wanted doge kil.
>Doge is kil.
>>2078255
Even so I thought it would try retreat. Holy fuck it just dies so suddenly at the end.
>>2078263
Dogs can be remarkably fucking retarded about lethal threats - I speak as owner of an otherwise pretty obedient doge that is utterly immune to being taught any form of road-sense.

If you know what youre doing they are a very good training tool.
Not for novice pet owners, but a professional trainer or someone working closely with one will get very good results with the use of a mild shock collar. Often they arent even set to shock, just vibrate.

punishment is not a training tool in any capacity, it doesn't work.

What is your basis for saying this?
Koehler is one of the most known trainers, has trained thousands of dogs, and his methods are proven. Punishment (not blind abuse) tied eith reward is very very efective for all living things. Results are achieved through rewarding good behavior, and introducing consequences for bad ones.
Ie: your dog clearly knows a heel or recall command, but chooses to ignore it. You introducr a consequence. This makes the dog less likely to ignore the commanf in the future: he knows there is a consequence.
It the same concept as touching a hot stove. The outcome is negative, you learn not to repeat that action b/c you did not like the outcome.
"It doesnt work" coming from your mouth sounds more like "i dont approve of it, for emotional reasons so i will spout innacurate information despite years of evidence otherwise". Do you not realize this is standard in hunting dog training?
Not sure if actually pit, but she has that bully breed look. Were out in the park right now.
I've spent the last week browsing craigslist for a cat to adopt and it's frightening how many bulls are being traded away
The pitbull meme needs to stop.

This. I have a pit/vizsla mix and he's a great dog. But they are not that special of a breed and people are starting to inbreed them so they can make more money off of them.

I don't need you to explain basics of conditioning to me. You don't understand cognitive nor behavioral psychology at the level I do, nor do you have the formal education I do. Your anecdotes are meaningless
>>2079204
>at the level I do
Do you read dogs minds or something.
>>2079204
But you literally just said it doesnt work when its been effectively used for decades.
What is your formal education, mr. Dog whisperer?
>>2079204
>behavioral psychology
top kek, nice "qualifications"

Very mature. I'm sure you know so much more than everyone else.

Your dogs look more like standard/classic bullies.
This is a pitbull.
>>2077839
My pit/ Swiss mountain dog. Kai
my pit is awesome. would not recommend them to first time dog owners though.
>>2079182
Why pitbulls are so popular?
>>2079571
you are intelligent. you didn't stop because of ass-whooping, you stopped because the self-analyzing philosophical computer in your skull.
you might be good now, but if your dad sought more positive reinforcement, you'd be even better off. probably less angry at the world, more patient, etc.

They're the brotrucks and Monster energy drinks of the animal world. They also appeal to weak women who want a hypermasculine thing that they can "turn good" (with lots of twitter and FB pictures of their pitbull with their mixed baby updates) when they inevitably get blacked by their boyfriends. The other sort who they appeal to are the pitbull experts and master dog behavioralists who adopt 5 from craigslist so they can feel superior by "saving" the dog from the inept Monster energy drink owners.

They are all considered pit bull in the eyes of the law
>game dog
Where I come from, this literally means a dog bred and trained to fight other dogs
>>2081316
>>game dog
Yes that does mean fighting but where I live
game dog can also mean hog hunting which is very popular out here.
>>2081289
While I agree this is true for some pit bull owners, you would have to be a complete moron if you think this broad generalization is true of everybody interested or owning pitbulls.
