my dog from years ago bit me once when i first got her, i quickly knocked her over by getting my hands behind her feet, then took my elbow and held her head down while holding her front leg. AND BIT THE BITCH BACK. i did not in any physical way hurt her other than the bite. she was welping. let her up and never bit me again. had that dog 16 years before she past. (she was just over a year old when i got her.) best dog i ever had.

Lol, that reminds me of "Arnie's" Chicago style hot dog joint in east Chicago... "Where man bites dog!" lol.

I've been bit more times that I can remember. This one stands out though. I stopped and got a hunting dog off of the hiway. I looped a piece of rope through his collar to hang on to him while I called the owner to come and get him. Well I dropped one side of the rope and when I bent down to pick up the rope the dog started backing away from me. As he backed away the rope was pulling out of his collar. Well it got to the point that the rope was getting ready to come off of the collar so I lunged at him to grab his collar (I didn't want him to get run over). When I did that he turned around and nailed me. I understand that he did this as a defensive reflex, I shouldn't have jumped at him like that, totaly my fault. But my instant reaction was to punch him in the side of the head and broke my ring finger in doing so. I did it before I realized what I was doing. I hit the dog so hard he was laying in the ditch with his back leg spasming. I felt so bad about hitting that dog. The dog was fine afterwards, I got the bad end of the stick on that one!

Hmm, last dog that bit me resulted in 16 stiches in my ear. Any more and I would have no ear. I hate all dogs from now on, never will trust one ever again. I say shoot it like the owner did to the dog that bit me.

Ive personally owned a rottie lab mix and now a english bulldog rottie mix. I have never been bitten by a big dog. Not even a pitbull. I have however been bitten by 4 different chihuahuas. I think the statistics are skewed.

I agree froggy, big dogs havent been a problem for me just those little dost mops. I dont think they get reported as often because the wounds are smaller and most dont require medical care. This dog is a sheltie mix and hates me for sure. Tried to get me twice more last night and again this morning. Strange how loving he is with the wife and kids.
Now where did I put that kicking tee???

Dogs are pack animals and he thinks he is the alpha male, you are a threat to his pack leadership. Don't hurt him but you will have to let him know who is the boss.

When I got married I told the wife I used the "German Shepard" method of child raising... she asked what that was... and I said: "When a German Shepard is a puppy they're all cute and furry... then they get older and realize they've got big sharp teeth. The trick is to teach them who's boss when they're cute and furry so they won't use those teeth when they're older." Well, the method worked on the Shepard/Wolf mix and the seven kids.

It's always great to know you've got a dog that's smart enough to know who to bite, and who not to....

Dog is back where he belongs. And they gave my wife a bunch of sh@* about it, saying the problem was me not the agressive biting dog. If I had actually wanted the dog I could have tamed him but right now i dont. I want to focus on my kids, home and RBV,S.

I hate dogs. You assume the liability for having a big idiot in the family. I understand them, I'm good with them and I used to like them. But then something happened. I think I'm just tired of being responsible for things and don't have anything left for a dog.

I used to hate cats, but now I like them--at least I like ones that kill things. A female that adopts your yard is great. I've went through about 8 to get two good ones. I do not need mousetraps or poison. Our cat is 100% outdoor because my wife has allegies and I don't like animals inside anyway. It lives in the crawl under the house in a kitty cube and it needs about 5 minutes of petting each day and that's it. It spends the other 23 hours and 55 minutes making Steven King books look like bedtime stories. It can catch birds out of the air--it goes through the culvert to cross the road and drink from the stream. It doesn't bark or bite or leave piles of crap around and it's useful and it's everything a dog isn't.

My other pets are a bunch of chickens--10. Those are useful too. They eat bugs and lay more eggs than we can eat. If you let them run free you barely have to feed them at all. And they are also affectionate and like to be picked up and petted, though they can take it or leave it. And they are funny as hell to watch.

Dogs? I mean, back when you needed them to do some kind of job they were probably good. Mostly, they are annoying. I don't like anything that doesn't WORK.

your cat doesnt eat the chickens?

Thats what i was thinking.

It has crossed our cat's mind, but a average chicken is about the same size as the cat. When something gets ahold of them they don't like they freak out and start flapping and running, something as small as a cat can't really hang on that well to stop them. A bantum chicken, yeah, they would probably take whenever they felt like it.

Mostly our cat sneaks around and just intently watches the big freaky bird eat bugs. He might have tried to take one when we were not around, but it must not have worked out in his favor.

A cat might get one by jumping it when it is asleep, but ours had a penned coup the flew into and could go inside. Because of sneak attacks they are generally afraid of the dark.

I prefer cats over anything, a good one seems to have more going on upstairs than a dog... the trick is finding one.

It would be a tough fight for a "house cat" to take out a full grown chicken. We got chickens also and those hens know how to peck it out. I could see a cat grabbing a chick from time to time, but never a laying hen. A bobcat on the other hand would just love to get its paws on a chicken.
