That chow is gonna chow down on your fricking hand when you smack it. It has no fear of you.

Run that bastard till he's panting his arse off then make him do what you want.

I think it's weird as shite, and while it may be a "known" method, I am also finding lots of trainer and veterinarian written articles advising against it with a simple Google search.

Seems like getting your girlfriend to randomly pin your adult dog down with no motive while on the phone with you is batshit.

But to each their own.

Not done reading. But why in the frick are you both still letting this vicious animal run the streets free??

Ever heard of a leash? I'd take mine downstairs with no leash because he listens. But the OT convinced me to leash him for his safety

I have to leash my little shite because he's a runner. He gets out without a leash and darts off like a frigging wild cheetah running down the street smiling his arse off screaming "I'm free, I'm free!!!!"

I did not ask her to do it. I told her my plan was to hold him down and she thought that was a bad idea. I guess she thought the dog would have been cool with her b/c she has had him since he was a puppy.


Now, some of yall are saying holding him down is just bad all together.

It's totally PC now. That Mexican Chihuahua Cesar does it. I'm pretty sure he's more respected than the people you are quoting and talking about. You can't just pet, brush and sweet talk a chow into submission.

I'm not trying to hijack. He's so dark brown he's almost black and he darted out of my parent's house at night when my sister came in and we went looking for him for like 30 minutes. I was crying my arse off, screaming his name, shaking a bag of treats trying to get him to come back and finally I hear some rustling in the ditch across the street and he came sprinting up to me. I spanked his lil arse and kenneled him; lil shite got me so upset.

It is like parenting.. everyone is going to have their own idea of what is right.

Personally, I think the pinning sounds redneck AF and, like someone else said, I'd be exhausting all non-aggressive options first before you get your arse bit by a terrified dog. It may end up being what works, but I'd be doing more traditional training attempts first.

Awwwww. I can't even imagine. I'd be so scared and sad.

Mine ran off once. I chased her for probably the longest distance I've ever run. She went into someone's fenced in backyard through their carport and I got her there.

I spanked her and carried her tubby booty home, and she knew she was in trouble.

Hasn't done it since, thank goodness. She listens really well to Jones' voice. We let her roam free when we're out in the front because she won't leave the yard with us there. She's too nosy to run away when we're hanging out there.

I do feel like her saying "he's not going to let you do it, but he will let me do it" was the biggest mistake. She isn't doing it in a 'Dominant' way getting him to submit. She's doing it in a 'hey, I'm laying on top of you so I am better than you' sorda way. That's not establishing herself as alpha at all; in fact it backfired and he proved that by nipping at her and her folding. From the sounds of it, if you do it, it's going to be a fight and you better be ready for it.

The whole point of the pinning the dog down is to show him who is stronger/in charge/alpha, etc.

Just do it. It works. Your g/f submissively holding down the dog is dangerous. You don't slam him or wrestle him. You very sternly flip him over, straddle him and every time he fights you you very sternly say no. Make sure you grip him tightly and make him break eye contact. He's going to fight. That's the point. Unless he's possessed he'll break.

Her house is in a very rural neighborhood. The entire point of this thread was the dog use to listen and obey my voice commands. I would open the door and he would pee and come back when I called him. I don't want to walk outside every time with him on a leash. He saw some deer the other day and I was glad that he did not sprint after them. He is a good dog not vicious at all. Really no abnormal behavior for a dog. Just being hard headed right now.

frick that. First of all, dogs belong outside. Secondly, if it's inside it's going to hold it until I get ready to let it out, not ring a bell to tell me what to do. That's just silly.


Those of us that are not white trash keep our dogs inside. And not every breed of dog is meant to be outside all the time anyways.

Do it with the girlfriend right there.
Tell her if she gets out of line, she's next.
