Farm raised. I've had to put down several dogs in my life and make no mistake, I love my dogs. I trained labs (retrievers) for years and I have had a dog by my side all my life except for the last few years. I spent a lot of money on them to keep them comfortable until it was time. There is no way I would have taken one of my dogs to a vet's office and let a stranger put them down. I wanted them relaxed, comfortable and at ease so I took them to the places they loved most. With my labs it was mostly out on my farm in the woods or beside one of the ponds. I always sat down with them, talked to them and loved on them before I put them down. I used a small caliber to the brain stem and they never knew it happened. Every one I buried I buried a piece of me with them.
Fully agree, huge Weimaraner lover here. When it was time, the last two that I've had hired Lap of Love vet to come to the house. Both dogs comfortable on their bed, relaxed and peaceful on top of their favorite blanket and surrounded by their favorite toys. It is the hardest decision as a pet owner to make. With both rescues with me 10+ years, when I first got them I told them I would never leave them. Held true to that promise as they did as well with their love and compassion. May sound silly to say but, was an incredible honor taking their still warm bodies to the funeral home for cremation....as truly I was not going to leave them.
As a trainer there are dogs that have low trainability, also there can be a lack.of drives that make a dog less trainable for work. Trainability is a character trait of a dog and is genetic. If the dog is a mere pet and you don't care about its behaviors or a useful dog for work purposes then It won't matter. An untrainable cattle dog is a useless eater and they aren't kept. Then there are problems with good dogs who people just suck at training. In The end a dog defaults to what is allowed by the owner. The dog is only motivated by food, water, air and sex. Don't put human traits on your dog or youbwill never train them worth a crap.
Please tell me you don't actual believe Caesar Milan's bullshit TV show is real. He may be good with dogs but it takes way more time and effort than is "efforts" on the TV show claim.
Sorry, I think there is a large element of truth in it! He did get dogs he could not fix by himself and others he and a supporting dog could not fix between them so I don't think he can solve all problems in an instant.
Dogs are quite good with other dogs, particularly if they join a pre-existing pack where the hierarchy has been established. Milan spent a lot of time with his grand-father's dogs and learnt some of their ways. He used to work either at a vet's surgery or a dog groomers before he went on TV. They found him super helpful so he has some talent with dogs even off TV.
I find it a bit odd that of all places, the people here would jump so hard and fast about an article from a piece of shit news outlet like the daily mail. I grew up on a farm and in rural settings. There are a multitude of reasons why animals are put down. However, I don't for a minute believe what that rag prints.
I have had to put animals down. For the people that think you can just re-home an animal, you have no understanding of what that means.
You mean the the people in this country with "dog mom" stickers on their cars? Dogs are animals...pets...I have had dogs all my life. If one tries to bite the person it should respect the most, it cannot be trained for anything benevolent.
If a dog must be put down for a good reason, at least bring it to a vet where it can pass away gently, don't be a savage and shoot it in a gravel pit.
I had a dog that had a tendency to bite people. He bit me twice. Once when I got between him and my sister-in-law. Once when I moved his bone. So I had that dog restrained all the time in public or if someone visited. I didn't allow anyone to pet him. He lived for 12 years with me on high alert. She knew her dog was dangerous and out of control and yet she ALLOWED it to jump from her truck. It was NOT restrained! It's her fault. I've lost respect for her. And she's proven herself to be stupid. First for killing the dog, and second for writing about it in her book.
I know some dogs are dangerous and have no place in society. Here's some information on pit bulls:
(Just presenting the facts, ma'am).
Pit Bulls make up only 5.8% of America’s dogs. Pit Bulls account for 75% of American human fatalities by a dog.
It was a 14 month old, still a puppy basically. Misbehaving dogs are almost always the fault of the trainer. Just because she failed and couldn’t train it properly doesn’t mean it couldn’t be trained. Cesar Milan’s entire career has been based on rehabilitating much worse dogs.
She thought it would make her appear no-nonsense and capable of doing the hard things in life..things most people (even on here) would be unable to do despite it's necessity
Ok, even if a working dog….most people will find this as unbecoming….and unfortunately in this society this will be worse politically than having an abortion.
Germany test puppies, the breeding regulations mean that any dog making g the grade gets put down. Here in the u.s. breeders will sell you a shitty dog.
Ah .... Dogs. Man's best friend .... the emotion .... the pulling of the trigger ... the emotion .. .and bam ... we move into action, typing our response ....
What gives? Did anyone read the book? NO. The responses come thanks to views and framing by journalists. It' s called opinion making.
Her attitude and how she so nonchalantly killed a puppy and goat for stupid reasons signal a level of psychopathy and sadism. No wonder she’s in politics. To kill a dog and discard it like trash just because you failed as a trainer…it’s disgusting imo. A 14 month old dog is still a puppy and absolutely trainable.
I hate that this is connecting Trump to this, if there’s one area of common ground between left and right it’s the love for pets and animals, especially dogs.

Most dog training issues are with the trainer. Bragging about killing a dog shows a massive lack of awareness.
If you believe what the news tells you...
Allowing our owners to put you down with bad food , bad drugs and bad government.
Is it bad trainers or stupid animals ?

She needed to watch re-runs of the Dog Whisperer!
This is from his later "Caesar 911" series. It shows how to deal with an out of control dog.
He did come across the occasional dog that was a nutjob but he took those to his ranch to live with some other, well-adjusted, dogs for a while.

A few sources on this and she wrote it in her own book.
To some, it is a way of farm life….but to most of the country it would probably seem strange
You mean the the people in this country with "dog mom" stickers on their cars? Dogs are animals...pets...I have had dogs all my life. If one tries to bite the person it should respect the most, it cannot be trained for anything benevolent.
True statement here. People are just to soft it's why our nation became at risk.
FFS
If it can't be trained for her needs because it wants to play, re-home the dog with someone who wants a fun dog or give it to a non-kill shelter.
That was a dumb thing to do. This will hurt her politically and personally when people find out.
Feel the same Bones...hoping this is dog comms
If the dog is violent and aggressive, where do you see it fitting in? Genuine question.
If a dog must be put down for a good reason, at least bring it to a vet where it can pass away gently, don't be a savage and shoot it in a gravel pit.

Context from the article. The Dog was purchased as a hunting dog. Dog Was shit at that.
She tried taking the dog to meet a family Dog responded by killing the family’s Chickens. And tried to bite her when she went to restrain it.
Why was it a smart political move to mention this in her book….ugh
She thought it would make her appear no-nonsense and capable of doing the hard things in life..things most people (even on here) would be unable to do despite it's necessity
Dog coms
Hopefully this is dog comms
Wtf
Ok, even if a working dog….most people will find this as unbecoming….and unfortunately in this society this will be worse politically than having an abortion.
these people are sick
How is her new husband measuring up. Kek.
If she aborted her baby at 6 months nobody would care.
It's ok if it's quickly humane
Animal cruelty! Most people will like her less now. https://nypost.com/2024/04/28/opinion/weve-finally-found-an-issue-that-unites-the-country-trumps-potential-vp-pick-shooting-her-dog/

Not all dogs are trainable. I know this for a fact.
