fortune82 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 As you may have seen I started a thread a few days back about a troublesome dog I encounter when walking my dog. To cut a long story short it is not true! I was doing some reading relating to work about dealing with conflict in a management situation and thought I would conduct a little experiment! I deliberately posted a controversial thread and sat back to see what would happen. In my initial post I was careful not to use the word "shoot" for the very reasons people have sited, SGC in danger etc. I am sorry if I wound people up. It did get a bit out of hand to be honest!! Anyway it proved a couple of things I was reading about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boromir Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Well thankyou for wasting my time and other peoples time. My dog was attacked and I went out of my way to type it out. Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 @fortune82 fair play mate, you 'fessed up. No worries. I'd still give it a boot it in plums if it came at me and I would be worried about that flexi-lead, just in case it wasn't a wind up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkPoacher Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 If you carry out another "survey" I would recommend you don't mention a specific breed of dog. Being a Rottweiler owner for many years I am loyal to safe guarding the breed of which mp"s have discussed banning. So using a Rottweiler as a scape goat for any agressive dog is severely damaging to the breeds reputation. We all know it's down to the owners how dogs turn out. You may think I'm over reacting but pigeon watch has a vast number of members and I would rather them pro instead of anti Rottweilers as the media has already demonized them.

AS a mastiff & GSD owner I fully agree Blame the deed - not the breed I say its all down to owners full stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catweazle Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 So, you've finished the "Wasting peoples time" and "Spitting the Dummy" paragraphs in your management book, what's next ? "Exit Strategy" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) So asking people how to wrestle a Rottweiler helps you in management! God I'm out of touch! This stinks more than your original post! Call me sarcastic but maybe this thread should have been called "Backtracking" Edited April 29, 2011 by Cosd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asa Bear Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 More management ********! I'm a firefighter and our promotion "helix" involves a day pretending to manage an airport & handling two actors who pretend to be colleagues who can't work together. All handy stuff when dealing with a house fire or rtc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 fortune82 - you may have owned up, but what in the world possessed you to be so irresponsible? It isn't something I would be proud of. Certain breeds get bad press because some idiots tend to generalise about the breed rather than looking at the owners. Your thread continued that stupidity.
