The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa
And I saw you blow this off before, but you really should be more keenly aware of the willingness of others to panic and harm your dog because they fear the breed. Your dog falls under that umbrella visually, as have all of mine. Do better, love.
On the PCT.
I wish she did have perfect recall for sure but it isn't like she is running off randomly. If she runs it's only going to be because she is after some animal and probably a fast one and she always comes back.
Your dog walking that far ahead of you off leash is not a good sign btw. She should be one step behind you. You’re supposed to be leading.
There’s a ton of breed specific material out there that you can read to gain some experience with dog psychology and training. Get a clicker and do rewards. Smart dogs catch on fast. Go with god bestie ♥
cause she's already satiated from her recent deer kill - look at all the blood on her face 😀

Lol pretty sure that is unfortunately cow manure
I'm not sure if she's ever eaten it...I think so but it's not the norm but she enjoys rolling in it. Hates the resulting bathes
Incredible that he said "thanks," 90% of the time these guys will just cuss you out when you point out that their dogs are running lose through the neighborhood.
Every house I've rung they've always been thankful, but each time I was sure the dog got loose and wasn't roaming around with the owner's blessing. No one does that around here. If there's a loose dog, there's usually a fukktard close by.
Well, if saying that it's annoying when dogs bumrush and you misconstrue that as being a bitch that doesn't have a strategy for aggressive dogs, then that puts you in the reetard category.
Dog chases deer for 30 seconds.
Trolley/Land O Lakes: Wow you're so irresponsible.
Coordi: Not only are you irresponsible but you also don't care about the environment
Didace: I probably spent $5,000 on having my dogs professionally trained and they were perfect wtf is wrong with you?
It's more that you're an inconsiderate fukktard than anything else.

lol, you really thought everyone was going to be on your side here, didn't you? Utterly clueless.
And I do work on recall training with her but there is zero chance that I'm getting her to come back if a deer is present..
Are you trying to argue against yourself?
It's cool to have a super well-trained dog, but it is very time-consuming. And certain breeds are incredibly hard to train not to do certain things. Good luck training a Jack Russel terrier to not chase rats, rabbits, etc. if it is off leash. Good luck training your border collie not to herd everything in sight, including your kids. Good luck training your Lab to not get in muddy ponds on a hot day.
Luckbox didn't handle the situation with that woman well at all, and LOL at asking her to restart so he could film her as if she was some sort of raging racist.
But there is a also a fair bit of dog nittery going on in this thread as well.
Maybe, but don't you live in Manhattan? Though it's been decades since I lived in NYC, I don't recall people walking their pets on the streets without a leash. Is that still the case? If you're bumrushed by a large dog >50% of the time you go out to grab a coffee or a cab, I think you'd change your mind about it being nitty.
To me, calling this nitty would be like calling it nitty to criticize dog owners who leave dogshit in public places and on personal property. I'm sure Lunchbox is like, "What's the big deal? You have to do yard work every week anyway. It should be nice and dry by then and easy to pick up. If I do it right after my dog takes a dump it will smear on your lawn so I'm actually doing you a favor by leaving it there."
Last time I was in Colombia I visited the town of Villa de Leyva which is a few hours north of Bogotá and just an amazing place....that whole region around there. It has more of a desert feel than most of mountainous Colombia and reminds me more of places like Santa Fe or Taos than areas around Medellín I know best.
And I stayed at this hostel there and they had a hostel dog and then there was a street dog named Azlan that was best friends with the hostel dog and I would walk them both while I was there-- the hostel dog on a leash and the street dog would just follow us.
And the street dog eventually just took to following me everywhere around town. Sometimes I would go into shops and he would lose me but then pick up my scent apparently and just appear in there. I went to the barbers and he just sat under my chair.
All of the street dogs in that town were well cared for. There was a homeless guy I would see sleeping and he would have 5 dogs with him.
When it came time for me to leave it was pretty sad and I had to have the people at the hostel take in Azlan because he would have followed me to the bus station if they didn't and I didn't want that.
In 2018 I had met an American girl who had spent a long time in a small town in Ecuador and she told me that where she was, if you didn't have a dog following you everywhere you went then you weren't from there-- and that's what it can be like in small town Colombia as well. It's really great and dogs are integrated into people's lives in a much deeper way there than in the US. And the dogs all get along and people don't complain about them because they don't suck. Like I said eventually my dog is going there to have a better life and me too.
This is Azlan.
I'm in an even more rural place currently than that town in Colombia. It could be that way here pretty easily but it's because of shitty people like yourself that it isn't.

Translation: "The US could have wild street dogs roaming around for everyone to enjoy like cows in India if shitty people that care about the health of dogs and people didn't exist."
I just want to see more pictures of dogs. Heck post your cats, too, if you've got em.

Or if you've seen what can happen when an off-leash dog playfully comes charging at someone walking a dog who's not friendly. It isn't pretty.

The US also has no shortage of places where dogs are allowed to run off leash, but please let's not discourage Lucky from leaving the country.
