VENTING WARNING...thou shalt not lie to sdp dogs IT ISBAD ENOUGH WNHEN people lie in general but when you lie to a dog... you are rotted to the core. it happens when a person figures figures they are mentally more astute than the dog... which is not necessarioly true in th long run dogs are more forgiving than people and will put up wioth a FEW LIES... WITH PEOPLE- LIKE OLD ONES -- DISTRACTION WORKS UNTIL INSTANT RECALL TAKES OVER...
? SHAKE A DISH OF FOOD TO CALL A PUP AND THEN NOT FEED THEM?????????
LET ME TRY.....
2020 9 21
Let's assume you have had a delivery of bricks and the truck put 10 pileS of bricks on the RIGHT side the driveway and you really need them on the LEFT side ..
so you ask someone to come move PILE #1 of bricks for $50 and they come and they do it and it works well so you invite them back to move the second pile for another $50 and that worked so they come back from the third pile and you forgot to cash a check so they have to wait until you ARE REMINDED to pay the $50 .. then you invite them back for the 4th file AND DON’T pay them immediately … the question becomes how many more piles is that person going to transfer from right to left before they say to hell with it ----no ticky no shirty .. A REALLY NEEDY PERSON MIGHT HELP LONGER AND WORK THRU PILE #7 OR 8 BUT YOU AIN’T NEVER GOING TO GET TO PILE #10.
why would that be any different with dogs???? . getting into a kennel is NOT their favorite thing to do in the world but they happily get in and turn around and expect a cookie so it becomes a bargain "I got in there and where's my cookie" .. I expect it it's always been that way and it's part of the bargain OF behaving … NOW IN AN EMERGENCY It might happen that you asked the dog to get in and have to run back to the barn together a cookie to give them so there is a delay but they do get their cookie for getting in the stall . to not give him a cookie even a delayed cookie makes for the situation I saw on Saturday where two dogs just had no intention of getting in the kennel and they were finally grabbed by the skin on their neck shoved in the kennel and no cookie then either … which described to me personally what they thought of the schover who had him by the neck… that person is a liar -----why should I behave?
So in our example with the bricks AND DOGS a dog would forgive it a couple times well I don't think you'd get to pile #5 with a dog .
and I saw this with a different group of dogs and different people yesterday . object being at the 15 puppies into the nuthouse to practice going through the door flap . the person figuring I want those puppies to come to me so I will just shake this dish of dry dog food to get their attention and then shove 'em where I want them .. I watched from the driveway from my heated golf cart AKA Toyota car .. as she used the dry dog food and then never gave them their expected piece of food .
HOW SHOULD SHE have done it?? ?????? SIT DOWN AND LET THE PUPS COME TO HER AT WHICH TIME .. JUST DIRECT THEM TO THE PERSON IN THE NUTT HOUSE WITH TEH TREATS. IT MIGHT TAKLE A WHILE, BUT WHAT IS THE RUSH?????
BUT HAVING LIED BEFORE TO THE PUPS… SHE CAN SIT TIL THE COWS COME HOME.. AND THE PUPS DON’T THINK GOING TO SIT ON HER LAP IS ALL THAT MUCH FUN ANYWAY.. they will run to nanny pam big time...
AS FOT THE BARN DOGS… THE adults playing on Puppy Hill if the person had a leash in her back pocket and went out on the Hill with them they should come to her because they like her and she could slip a leash around their neck give them a great big Pat Pat Pat Pat and walk them off to a kennel ----they go in give him a cookie and go get the other dog who would probably be standing there waiting to get in the kennel and have a cookie ..instead of chase dog to grab that one by the neck shove 'em in shut the gate and the damage done by that may take months to overcome because the flashback of being chased and grab by the neck could be reenacted in a parking lot if a dog gets loose ..
so when I decide I've had enough of this kind of bulling behavior and let someone on staff go… ..don't give me a lot of why should I ---- why did I ---do this and why did I do that-- because I can't answer you as I would like to but I have my reasons . just like the dogs have their reasons .. because in the big turn of the wheel it's the dogs who get to decide a lot of things around here .
and if anyone thinks the dogs don't talk … then you're wasting your time watching them because you never will understand .
now if I am the one hired to move bricks…. at pile #3 of bricks… I might keep going if I had nothing else to do, but in my mind, would definitely be.. “gotta watch this person” and 6 months later. .. I would have reduced remembering the necessary details down to “ this guy’s a creep so be on your guard” even if I can not remember why.
that is true of dogs..too…
i will not get into political paralells.. too many bricks to pile up....
