if well flattened and slung with a snap bolt to your left chest and waist D rings.

On the serious side. Take a soda can and put 12-15 pennies in the can and Duct tape over the opening. Keep the can close at hand and try to have it in your hand during the activities when the dog likes to nip. Just as the dog makes mouth contact....vigorously rattle the can or throw it on the floor at the dog's feet. Just as the dog is startled and stops the offending action ....give a firm NO command. A few seconds later when the dog is not acting inappropriately give praise. It will only take a few times for the behavior to change.

I used a similar method to contain a VERY boistrous Staffordhire Bull terrior. Instead of the "pennies in a can" we used a 12" length of chain, and threw it at his feet, very hard and issued a VERY loud command (sometimes a little embarrassing)

When we got him, he was the dog from hell. He did everything wrong. After a few weeks using this method, I only had to rattle the chain, and he would be a perfect angel, and follow every command.

One of the MOST important things is to assert your dominance.
DO NOT let him sleep on your bed, eat your foot, jump up on you or stand over the top of you, If he does something wrong you MUST tell him so, never let him get away with a single thing. Its tough at first, but the rewards are worth it.

I was not kidding about my past dog Rocky..i mean its not like we hurt the dog..we dont abuse our animals, but what the heck were we suppose to do....give the dog a timeout or something...I think it only took two times before that stubborn thing learned.

I miss that dog...poor thing..ohh well.

Now as far as kids go, you have to be really careful on how you go about whuppin them these days...seems like every kid has the DCFS number tatooed on their body somewhere. Dont go overboard with it and try and control yourself...geez.

Anyways, back to animals.....show em whos boss and whoever said to bite them back....that is absurd and on borderline beastiality..no need to bite em back..i dont think they will know the difference....nothing a whiffle ball bat couldnt fix or a backhand across the arse.

Good luck! :)

I wondered how long it would take to get you to respond to this...trolling for trolls takes a different bait.:wink:
 
(apart from what reg to select... and a multiplicity of things that DIR could stand for)

you learn that O-ring has a yen for spanking (especially mermaids?), that Cave Diver seems to prefer to tie things up, that jepuskar is now claiming that the girl he's snuggled up to in his profile pic is his sister and that two senior members have a lot to say on the subject of lollipops... and competing for lollipops (hmm, make that three senior members - and I'll leave the job of analysing the Freudian symbolism of that to you, CD...)

Very educational, really... :kitty:
 
There's a fettish one senior member has with sheep...(O-ring tends to know more about this than anyone else)

There's an undergroud cult moving around secretly planning new ways in which they can hi-jack threads...

You forgot to mention that Jep has a fetish for using wiffle bats, that KY Mermaid believes in positive re-enforcement by giving treats, but witholds the moonpie vests when the behavior is inappropriate, and as far as me tying things up...

Well, I dont have 6 spools, a safety reel, a primary reel, two big packages of zip ties and a roll of duct tape for nothing! (but I can fix damn near anything with all that!) :D

And just in case anyone wants to know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop: 287

And what do you use that doubles as a hammer or c-wrench?

God bless the 80's.

I thought it was three though? Remember the owl?

"Let's see"
"One"
"Two"
*CRUNCH*
"Three"

*dramatic pause*

"Three!"

Ya, in the commercial it was three. But a couple of girls I know wanted to find out just how many licks it REALLY took to get to the center. I would tell ya where the tootsie pop was, but this IS a family board... :wink:
