Attention: The following spouting is directed at the selfless
human, you who have a pet you leave alone for nine hours a day,
not to romp happily on acres of woodlands but to stay
practically still, tethered as it is to a limiting post or
trapped as he or she is within the confines of a cage no
bigger, proportionately, than a bathroom is for a human. Have
you considered training your dog.instead of punishing it for
your restricted capabilities to "own" a dog?
You should consider training your dog, instead of caging him
up. Train him not to flee. Train her not to bark. Lastly train
her as you would be trained. The main thing is this: she is
really unhappy when you lock the poor mutt in a cage. Just
think of your dog (ala George Orwell's animals in Animal Farm)
being the owner of your home and you are the pet. Next knock
the ceiling off the bathroom and put a chicken wire fencing
across the top in its place. After that take away your ability
to speak words and take away your hands. So, Mr. Pooch, who is
getting ready to set off to the mill for a nine hour shift
grabs you by the nape of your neck, your scruff, and leads you
into the bathroom, then leaves. There is no music neither are
any toys. The floor is hard. (Are you thinking about training
your dog, yet?)
The temperature drops. It starts to rain at the same time the
wind blows more of itself cold into your nook. It turns dark.
Strange sounds, traffic, and smells taunt you. There are some
smells that remind you of food. Others make you nervous. Little
kids pass by and poke at your little walls. And don't forget
that lawnmower which cranks up right by your head. All you can
do is walk back and forth in your own poop and howl and yip.
(Are you thinking about training your dog, yet?)
Mr. Pooch brought you home because you were a cute pet, but
when he left you inside the confines of the main house on the
first day, you chewed the hell out of his favorite material
belongings. For many unusual innate reasons you have the
tendency to gnaw but some how he doesn't get that and didn't
think about it (or anything else) when he added you to his
possessions of belongings. So you must be beaten. Nonetheless
you must be remaindered to a pet prison. Your cuteness has worn
off
Wake UP, humans. Training your dog is SIMPLE (as dogs are
trainable). Training your dog is not expensive. Training your
dog, as well, can be done by someone else, who will coach you
the few commands you need as well as the logic of the rewards
process you could use so that an animal with natural instincts
or needs to chew or bark will be re-trained to chew only select
items or to bark only when there is danger.
You really can't take it out on the dog that you do not
understand dogs. You definitely need to work out a way of
training your dog, understanding that it is a gift to the
animal to train it and a punishment to neglect to do so. If yet
training your dog is not clearly the message here, then maybe
YOU need a few lessons; or just maybe a bit of training! Your
sleepless, angry next-door-neighbor will gladly oblige, I'm
sure.
