Poisoning dogs

[rsmoree]

Only book I know of I used in the early 70's , Bill Kohlers Guard Dog Training, IDK if it even is still in print, they covered that...I never did it, his other methods worked well on what I did.

Still, a hongery dog is like a horney dog...it ain't foolproof



William R. Kohler method of dog training. He does teach poision proofing. I have one of his books and you can still order them. His methods are contrerversial today with all the postive reward methods but I can tell you his stuff works. I use my own form of his methods on my dogs. I never followed his method word for word.

My dog was acting sluggish yesterday and was extremely weak this morning, before she passed away. She was 12 years old, tho... if she had been poisoned, she would have been sick, right?

One of our rescue German Shepherds was poisoned at night by a neighbor and was dead the next morning. I guess it would depend on type of poisoning used.

Some neighbors!

Some time ago, I delivered a weekly advertising supplement for the Advocate. I hanged it in a clear bag on doorknobs.

Occasionally, I would have problems with strays. I inquired with Animal Control what my options were and they suggested pepper spray.

I went to purchase some at BR Police Supply and a discussion of loose dogs ensued. A BRPD officer told me "Loose dogs are fair game."

After that, I had occasion to get the spray ready but only used it on cats and dogs in my own neighborhood. I recognized that a dog will defend his home and didn't worry about them.

Thanks...sure not many people back in the day liked Kohler, my aunt trained Dobies for years on variations of Kohler and I used it in Obedience and Guard dogs. I like knowing my dog will work even if I run outta cookies and liver snaps.

Typically they act "drunk". Very lethargic, loss of balance, vomiting. Those are the signs of antifreeze poisoning. Not that I go around poisoning dogs... I'm an operator in an ethylene glycol (antifreeze) unit.

Here is more specific info on antifreeze poisoning symptoms in cats and dogs.

Those symptoms are spot-on to what my dog had... except that I didn't see her vomiting. Of course, I found her 10 minutes before she died so she had probably already done that. When I found her, she was just laying in the driveway. She was very happy to see me, but it seemed she was in trouble and needed my help. I helped her get up to come in the house and she was staggering all over the place and kept falling down, so I carried her inside. I laid her down in her spot and she was laboring to breathe, lasted about 5 more minutes and that was it. I also noticed that her mouth and lips were swollen and that she had little red spots all over her lips.

I guess I should've taken her to the LSU Vet School to determine a cause of death so I could at least be able to press charges, but at the time it didn't even hit me that she'd been poisoned... actually, it really didn't occur until a couple of hours later when I saw this thread.

It's starting to look like one of my teenage son's "friends" was holding a grudge and may have retaliated against him for some perceived wrong. It's not like I can prove he did it, so I'm not going to officially accuse him... but the facts kinda line up to look that way and the 16yo kid does have a record. He has attacked a teacher at school and has broken into a business to vandalize it... I think poisoning a dog is well within his capabilities. I just wish there was something I could do!

There is, just not now...give it time to blow over. Keep him in mind, one day he will have a favorite car or word will leak out about some crime...there's always a way, just not NOW. I've been told that a quarter can buy a lot of happiness.

I commonly refer to my dog as my "first born" and the "oldest". She answers to "grandmother's baby" from my Mom.

That says enough how I feel about poisoning my dog.

That's good advice right there, will definitely keep it in mind.

If you need an alarm system let me know

Video camera would be better IMO....that way you'll probably prevent them from even trying to kill your dogs. Even dumb criminals don't like to be on Candid camera

Video is better than a jail cell for maiming or killing the dog killer.
