What makes a dog bite?

[buttercup132]

Please, just stop. You mentioned how you left PT and moved on to "better" things. Then why must you still come back and cause problems?

It's sad really. I enjoyed seeing your animals, but now I am afraid to read your posts because I just know it's going to start some drama.

I dont come back to cause problems not my fault people dont agree with what I say even if it is right.

I'm not saying you are right or wrong in your posts. The problem I have with your knowledge is how you deliver it. You always put the person down and speak rudely toward them. Like in this thread. Of course you went back and changed the original rude post.
You want people to respect you and your information you want to share, yet you can't respect other peoples opinions or comments.

I agree 100%...

BC, you can't expect someone to listen to you if you are just going to be rude to them...

AMEN!
You say you know everything about dogs. Well that's not true. You don't know everything, you probably don't realize how much you don't know! No one knows everything about anything!
Like Cindy said, it's how you deliver it. You constantly put people down, and that is wrong.
I've said before I don't like to get into these conflicts, but I've seen the effects of your posts....

Having knowledge of dogs won't do any good if you have no people skills. People are the ones taking care of the dogs, if you have no skills to communicate with people you won't be helping any other dogs than your own.

I have terrible People Skills online (my thought process & typing don't mix well), not as bad as BC though, I'm not one to attack. But when I do my educational Speeches for the Rescue, I know how to draw a crowd & I can keep them there for my 10+ min speech. Then I start all over & keep repeating my self for 8hrs... My voice is mostly gone for the last 2 hrs, but even then I still have large crowds around me listening my dead voice lol

I think you usually come off pretty level headed.

I think we all have disagreements, but I think when coming to disagreements we should all be civil towards one another. (not directed at anyone specifically)
I've been following this thread and I think it's gotten a bit out of hand.... it's gotten to be way different then the thread originally started. I think if anyone has a problem with anyone else, PM each other or possibly block one another. No reason to get into useless bantering back and forth. I think many of us have said what needs to be said and the rest should be in PM, rather than taking over the OP.
Pet Talk is a friendly place meant to enjoy each other and our pets and to learn. Let's keep it this way.

Agreed. I apologize for getting off topic. And I'm finished.

Or rather simply put;

opinions are like buttholes. everyone has one.

as for the present topic of WHAT MAKES A DOG BITE i really have no clue. i guess it depends on the dog an the situation/s.
but glad to hear it wasnt a very serious bite none of the less. *hugs*

[MonicanHonda]

Buttercup, obviously you don't know everything... because you definitely don't know how to deal with the owners of dogs... which you will realize is a very important aspect of knowing about dogs. No one wants your help when they can't stand you. But good for you, thinking you know everything. I'm glad you have that much confidence in yourself.

EDITED TO ADD: I agree dab_20... I clicked on this post last night and was surprised by the responses... totally different than the topic.

[king2005]

Caseysmom, Thanks. I try to remain civil, even when I know my opinion isn't the norm, & might be right (to me anyways).

Agreed, sorry.. I edited my off topic posts... Will go through this thread to make sure I didn't miss any tomorrow

Wow, this thread has gotten way off track since I first read it. But this post is plain ignorance. You mentioned people don't agree with you even it it is right, but all your posts are based on opinions. Who are you to judge the "structure" of a dog's life that you don't even know over the internet? and Who are you to say you know more about dogs than someone else you don't even know?? We all have different ways of training and living with dogs, and we all share opinions - but they are just that, OPINIONS. None of it is right or wrong. What works for you might not work for someone else. There are ways of teaching people without coming off as being rude.

You will not always be "right" in someone else's opinion and you don't know everything about dogs. You may know a decent amount but you don't know everything. Saying that just makes you look ignorant...


Oh and sorry if my dog PLAY bites hard that I'm not going to put him to sleep for it..that's way to radical in my opinion. Biting is different in every situation and with every dog. Biting isn't something to ignore, no, but it's not something to get totally crazy over the first time it happens. Biting isn't just biting, it's different in all cases. You can have a play bite, which my dog happens to do quite often and it does hurt, but he doesn't do it out of harm and he's easy to control and does know when to stop. You can have fear biting, aggression, etc. I think there are alternatives rather than putting a dog to sleep right away, I think that's a little to harsh unless it escalates much worse.
