It's a while since I did domestic work.
So I was really looking forward to todays job which was domestic. Well the customers fanny licker of a dog (it had been running around uncontrolled and yapping for about 10 minutes) decided to bite me so I said a very loud "OUCH". Customer makes no comment or ignores me and the fanny licker runs around for a few more minutes before biting me again. This time I hoof it with my steel toe tapped boot across the room, the dog yelps and the customer starts to complain. Customer wants me off offsite and threatens to call the police and report me to the RSCPA. The MD arrives and assures the customer it was not deliberate and that I had accidentally stood on the dogs paw. The cheeky **** of a customer then asks the MD for a discount and about 10 seconds after him asking the fanny licker then bites the MD in full view of the customer and the dog gets kicked across the room for the second time in a half an hour. -- Adam |

Yep, and some dead kids too. But that unlikely if its a small dog that can be kicked across the room, twice.

However, beyond a certain point, the dog becomes essentially irredeemable as you pretty much can't teach old dogs new tricks, and in particular you can't unteach them their current ones. their ways can be changed, They can indeed and that yankee dog trainer Cesar Millan on reality TV is shown doing it very effectively indeed with most dogs. **** google is one hell of a resource now. I couldnt remember his name and again first hit with google. but only if you remove them from the problem human Thats bull****, he does it with the problem human all the time. or teach the problem human some sense. Ditto. Generally neither of those happens. It does with the best of the dog trainers.

Yeah, saw one hell of a dog at a garage sale. His master was a young girl who must have been about 8, did exactly what he was told, going bananas at the visitors before she told it to behave. An example is police attack dogs, trained to attack people but don't kill people or attack the officers. |

I've always wondered; do you dog-lovers use s lubricant, or isn't it necessary? Surely it depends on the breed. In the mid 90s as the internet was getting talked about a friend challenged me to get something disturbing he could put on the notice board at work, so I found the usenet beastality group and printed out a 6 page document on how to have sex with a dog safely and a two page one on horses. A friend read this out at a flat warming party. The next day a neighbour complained but not of the noise or the loud music, but the distrubing topic of conversation he and his family heard. |

The thing about dogs is that they are pack animals and can be aggressive
toward interlopers who are not pack members. Most people would not let their dogs loose when stranger are about. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...

I always did. Corse one time the neighbour's kids thought it was hilarious to have the patio door open only a slight amount and sting him on the nose with rubber bands. One of them discovered that that wasn’t a great approach when the next time that stupid kid was sitting in a deep armchair at my place and the ****ing great alsatian walked up and bit him in the stomach. The stupid kid nearly died of fright and wasn’t actually stupid enough to do that again. "ARW" wrote in message ... It's a while since I did domestic work.

I'd have got the owner to remove the dog from the working area in the first place, Agreed, even if the dog was highly unlikely to have bitten anyone (none of ours ever would) you don't know if the person themselves likes dogs, wants the dog under their feet or it may be dangerous for the dog (bare wires, blowlamps, sharps saws etc). not safe for many reasons being bitten is just one of them. Quite. With no response from the owner after the first bite I'd have simply, packed up, sat in the van, photographed the bite and called the boss. I guess that depends if it was 'a bite' (as in an attack) or 'a nip' as in 'I'm not sure if you are a friend in my house'? I know it wouldn't make much difference legally but might to most people. As an aside, daughter is a part time animal warden and is often collecting all sorts of animals (dead, alive and injured) and the other day collected a dog that was fundamentally 'gentle' but because it was both injured (only internal bruising as it turns out) and frightened, softly bit her on her hand as she was getting the dog in the van a warning that is was in pain. Reporting to the Police may mean curtains for the dog, which is a bit unfair. Potentially unfair on the dog. Nearly always badly behaved dogs are only badly behaved because the owners don't take and hold the position of "pack leader" from the point of view of the dog. Agreed. For all our dogs, if someone came to the door, simple instructions like 'stay' or 'in your bed' was all it took to remind them I was there, I was aware someone was at the door and that it was ok. If we knew the people and that they liked dogs, I knew the dogs knew them and it was appropriate, I would let the dogs greet them. If it wasn't I would remind the dogs to stay where they were (like if the visitors had brought in food etc). Cheers, T i m |

I'd have got the owner to remove the dog from the working area in the first place, Agreed, even if the dog was highly unlikely to have bitten anyone (none of ours ever would) you don't know if the person themselves likes dogs, wants the dog under their feet or it may be dangerous for the dog (bare wires, blowlamps, sharps saws etc). not safe for many reasons being bitten is just one of them. Quite. With no response from the owner after the first bite I'd have simply, packed up, sat in the van, photographed the bite and called the boss. I guess that depends if it was 'a bite' (as in an attack) or 'a nip' as in 'I'm not sure if you are a friend in my house'? I know it wouldn't make much difference legally but might to most people. As an aside, daughter is a part time animal warden and is often collecting all sorts of animals (dead, alive and injured) and the other day collected a dog that was fundamentally 'gentle' but because it was both injured (only internal bruising as it turns out) and frightened, softly bit her on her hand as she was getting the dog in the van a warning that is was in pain. Reporting to the Police may mean curtains for the dog, which is a bit unfair. Potentially unfair on the dog. Nearly always badly behaved dogs are only badly behaved because the owners don't take and hold the position of "pack leader" from the point of view of the dog. Agreed. For all our dogs, if someone came to the door, simple instructions like 'stay' or 'in your bed' was all it took to remind them I was there, I was aware someone was at the door and that it was ok. If we knew the people and that they liked dogs, I knew the dogs knew them and it was appropriate, I would let the dogs greet them. If it wasn't I would remind the dogs to stay where they were (like if the visitors had brought in food etc). Stupid approach. I never do anything special. Mine was keen on greeting people it knew well with a nip on the visitor's cheek and did that to me too. Could be a bit of a surprise with a ****ing great alsatian. Trouble was that it was very hard to predict when he would decide that they were a well known visitor. Even odder, when out for a walk, never ever on a lead, he would just ignore anyone who tried to call him over to pat him and just keep doing his usual sniffing of everything in sight. |

Customer makes no comment or ignores me and the fanny licker runs around for a few more minutes before biting me again. This time I hoof it with my steel toe tapped boot across the room, the dog yelps and the customer starts to complain. Customer wants me off offsite and threatens to call the police and report me to the RSCPA. The MD arrives and assures the customer it was not deliberate and that I had accidentally stood on the dogs paw. The cheeky **** of a customer then asks the MD for a discount and about 10 seconds after him asking the fanny licker then bites the MD in full view of the customer and the dog gets kicked across the room for the second time in a half an hour. In a different life I repaired a fridge freezer for an old lady. She had a Jack Russell. We made friends, I had it rolling around on its back. She told me not to trust it. Job done. I was walking down her garden path to the van and the ******* shot out and bit my ankle. There was blood. The old lady was grinning like a Cheshire cat. |
