Probably, haha!

40 years ago I tried that on our malamute female.
I think she rather enjoyed it. I cried uncle first and disposed of the carcass.

SOOO SWEET!!!! Congratulations and THANK you for giving him a great home!!!
I need YOU to find me my next puppy. So far, EVERYTHING local is a dead end, purebred, which I DON'T want and >$1K for a future dog with health problems.
Vet is fostering another, now, she says, her LAST Samoyed, a female, who came to her pregnant. This dog came from a breeder HOARDER, and lived without human interaction with almost 100 other dogs. HOW these people aren't jailed for animal abuse, I don't know.
I was interested in a puppy, but this dog is so mentally messed up that she killed them all after licking them clean.
I hate dog breeders!!! Majority just have dollar signs in their eyes.
Her other Samoyeds are friendly and playful, even the one that she brought back from severe abuse and successfully treated cancer of the face/jaw with chemotherapy at 12yo. I told her that she needs to publish this bc it would give hope to other dog owners who might put their dogs down with stage 4 cancer in the face bc it is so close to the brain and just tissue covering bone, yet she was successful.
She only first tried these chemotherapy beads on My dog 2 years ago (and this last week) to treat a benign cancer in my dog's paw, growing downward. After the biopsy it became more aggressive and grew back towards the lower leg.
This time it had regrown to about 1/2 of the original. She had never used these chemotherapy beads before the original surgery, and there was still some left between my dog's RF toes. My dog will be 10yo in November. No pain, just irritation where the cancer is. We will continue to bandage for 3 weeks.
I believe that my Vet's experience with her own dog has made this 2nd surgery more aggressive. The side effects Can be destruction of non cancerous tissue, but I am willing to accept this to see the cancer gone.
Sorry for the story and rant! I absolutely abhor animal abuse/neglect. If you cannot or are not willing to care for an animal, get a succulent or a stuffed dog instead.

My friend trained her puppy to listen, therefore NOT CHASE her horses, chickens, etc., by tying a rope around her waist and snapped to the puppy's collar, so that the puppy HAD to follow here everywhere she went and couldn't run off as the puppy wanted to. She said this has been the best dog she has ever owned, loyal and obedient.
NO yelling, no hitting (spanking), no punishment.
Dog food for thought.

They use the ^^ above for strong willed cattle dog puppies too.

I like Bay's solution for her pup. Sounds like he's quite a smart dog so he'll get it soon!

The monks of New Skete employ the dog-attachment as one of their training methods. They also incorporate some well timed "corporal" punishment (for want of a better term).
Yes, I said punishment, not a very politically correct word, but accurate and honest.

Different dogs require different approaches. Some need a very concise hands on approach. Some breeds "get it" almost by osmosis it seems.

@ducks4you, can't imagine any place not having plenty of animals at the shelters. yes some of them may have issues, but usually a few visits and you can find a decent non-pure-bred dog that will be just fine.

wish you much luck ducks...

Bay sorry about your hen. Be very careful with him chewing water bottles. Plastic can cause big problems with digestive track. I know dogs that needed emergency surgery from swallowing plastic

I second and third this bad habit of chewing plastic bottles... I worked at a University Vet. Med. Teaching Hospital and I can attest to what can / will happen to dogs that chew and swallow plastic. We had a couple that chewed plastic bottles with insecticide still inside which killed them after a very painful belly ache , emergency surgery and finally death.Give him a very stern talking to
if he so much as looks at a plastic bottle.

Blockage to intestines painful, deadly, expensive to fix. Give him some hog and sheep bones uncooked to chew.
