after a loose dog attacked him and I didn't stop it in time.
Not happening again.
I have frequent problems with loose dogs who's owners can't/won't control them,
jumping my dogs while they are working.
If your dog is that dumb and you have that little control,
I will protect my dogs from yours.
WOW! --- 21 years "young" ... and still Training Dawgs!
That ole ATV could prolly handle a training run without the 2-Legger even coming along!

As for the "stick" and its purpose ... I sorta thought along those lines.
You have nothing to be ashamed of nor fear flaming ...
You have a right and an obligation to take care of YOUR Kids if / when they
are harassed by another dog! Hopefully you won't need to use it.

Practice your lessons - HAW is turn LEFT; GEE is turn RIGHT ...
maybe write those on your front paws with Arrows pointing L & R.
