Cat saves boy from being mauled by dog

[Crazy mike]

Hello; I will admit to being both old and old school. If I ever have another dog and it attacks a child, the dog will die by my hand.

Here is a thought? There may be some dog owners following this thread and perhaps pondering how they can better ensure that their dog is conditioned to not attack people. I mean beyond hoping for the best and locking the dog away from people. Perhaps those who are more up to date can point out a path these dog owners can follow. Perhaps some links to websites and such where they can achieve a better understanding of what you are talking about?

For those following this thread as spectators; "Are you not entertained?" (name the flick)

It's not conditioning them not to attack people it's understanding your dog and having enough control over them in any situation. My dog has a high prey drive. At home I can call him off from chasing a squirrel or cat or whatever animal he decides looks fun to chase and try and kill. But say I take him hiking, the circumstances change and unlike at home he will remain on leash because outside the home his drive goes up more. Its about understanding your dog and knowing how to control it and not allow them into situations where they could do harm.

socializing dog also means lots of interaction with people, at the park, on walks, taking places with you, exposing him to people while it is a pup.

gladiator, yes you can condition a dog , need to be when they are young.

You can condition a dog of any age, I find training adult dogs vastly easier then a adolescent or puppy

At least two cameras on the same spot, kind of suspicious evenif you disregard everything else.

How could this possibly be staged? You don't really think they trained a dog to pretend attacking their kid, or a cat to attack the dog... come on now. I suppose they used makeup for the stitches and lied about putting the dog down too? And what two cameras on the same spot... u mean the ones watching the driver and passenger side of the suv? U must be trolling

Hello; That is good. I had a husky. He was fairly well trained but I knew better than to have him off a lead away from home. Anything more?

There far to much to put down here and being on mobile I lack the ability to adequately post links but I do have a book I highly recommend for anyone who wishes to learn more about canine behavior
Also most of my knowledge is experienced based and from talks with various dog trainers

I've just caught up on this thread and I really appreciate your comments. I definitely agree.

I can't say that the dog should definitely be put down but it probably should go to someone else at least. But I don't know enough to say what should happen to the dog.

Since you didn't get them the first time go back and reread the questions posed. If you still do not get them, ask and they can be repeated in smaller, more easily understandable words. Know who you're talking to before trying to call them out.
