Pit Bull Attacks half Wolf Puppy. Half Wolf Puppy defends against Pit Bull

Hello. You have seen the scenario where someone is walking in the park with their cute puppy on a leash. As you walk towards it you can see it’s joy in living each and every second as its tail starts wagging at high speed.

Seconds later, however as you are twenty or thirty meters away you and every one else hears a high pitch yapping and you turn already knowing with horror as you hear the deep throated roar that that little puppy that you just passed is in some serious trouble. Perhaps even its owner is not able to extricate it from the problem.

In many parts of North America that problem dog is actually a dog that has inherent anger problems perhaps due to an owner who wasn’t loving and caring or problems due to inbreeding and or its part of its gene makeup.

I heard an interesting tale as I was stroking the hair of my neighbor’s half wolf puppy.

A little less than a year prior, he had chained his big wolf puppy to the tail gate of his chevy pickup. He had then gone inside for lunch while the puppy played outside. He says he wasn’t inside more than about 15 minutes before a deep snarl and a shout caused him to run to the front door.

There, running free of its leash and cutting a line straight towards his big puppy was a vicious pit Bull. He remembers his dog backing up to the vehicle as if to get enough slack in its leash. In no time the pit bull had crossed 30 feet and without so much as a hello, launched itself in the air towards the puppy.

In less than a blink the PitBull was high in the air and reaching for his puppy’s jugular. However, his puppy was no longer there at all. Launching itself a split second earlier it was also in the air and much higher than the pitBull. The pitBull attempted to twist before it even hit the ground, but the wolf puppy was faster yet and by then had a grip on the throat of the pitBull.

The half puppy did a very adult thing. With astonishing strength it growled and thew the pitbull about 6 feet away.

What happened next is the stuff of legends. The furious pitbull twisted before it hit the ground. Some say that it never touched the ground before it was instantly airborne again. But the story was different this time. The wolf puppy didn’t wait this time. It timed the rush perfectly and met the pitBull almost at the end of its own leash. In a moment it was over. The big puppy snapped the neck of the pitBull and it was over.

Time that had rushed faster than anyone could probably recount, suddenly stood still. The only slow movement came from the puppy as it backed to the vehicle, slunk down and looked around.

Its not my position to judge as to what was right and wrong about this. We were told however that the pit bull had attacked a youth in the preceding year and that it and or its owner was under some kind of suspension while its case was being decided. Normally, it would have been put down or something, but witnesses didn’t all tell the same story so…

Nature does what nature does, and its sometimes sad when its your dog that has been put down, even though you know it may have been its fault but still…

4 Methods to Choose a Dog Collar

It is a very simple process to pick a collar for your dog. There are lots of ways to decide, but we will only be discussing four of them in this article.

One way to choose would be to know the measurements of your dogs neck. If you don’t know you can simply use a tape measure to find out. Once you have this information you can look at the package that the collar comes in to see if it mentions the size of the collar. As a rule of thumb you always want to be able to fit two fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck.

The second way I would suggest is simply to know the weight of your pet. Many times the collars have something that will tell you the weight range of the dogs that the collars are intended for. This will also help you to figure out how sturdy of a collar you will need that wont break if your dog tries to pull away from you while walking them.

I would also suggest that you pay attention to the material of the collar. Sometimes the leather collars break when pressure is applied to often. You should consider this if you have a dog that is not trained who jerks you around often. Leather also cracks when you get it wet to often.

The last thing I would recommend is to figure out what you want the collar for. Decide if you are buying the collar for training reasons or just for simply walking the dog. Training collars take a bit more detail to choose than what I listed here in this article. It’s always less complicated if its only for walking your dogs.

Choosing your dog’s collar is not a hard task to handle. As soon as you find out how much you want to spend on your collar and a good color and fit you should buy it. Just understand that training collars take more effort and research.

Six Easy Things to Keep in Mind While Training Your Beagle.

Can beagles be difficult? Absolutely. But they’re also incredibly loyal and loving. Couple that affection with a good training regimen, and you have a great dog to enjoy for years to come. Here are 6 ways you can assure your beagle (or any other dog for that matter) becomes the pride of the neighborhood:

1. Start early. From the time he or she is a puppy, training can begin. Put the dog on a feeding schedule to assure it eats at the same times each day. It’s never too early to get your dog used to strict schedules. Also, if you begin to reward good behavior early, the greater the likelihood your dog will develop fewer bad habits.

2. Begin with basic commands. Early on, even things as simple as “sit,” “stay,” and “come” are important commands to learn. Besides instilling some discipline, it establishes the pecking order and lets your dog know who’s in charge.

3. Keep the training sessions short. Even 5 to 10 minutes a couple times a day can work wonders. Anyone who’s ever owned a beagle knows they’re scent-motivated and can lose focus easily. Keep the sessions short but entertaining.

4. Don’t abuse your dog. We all get frustrated occasionally. It’s human nature. But to take it out on the dog will only have the reverse effect. Physical punishment can make him more aggressive and cause him to be more fearful of you. It stands to reason that he won’t do what you want him to do if he’s afraid.

5. Reward good behavior. Any dog likes a treat, and they like to know they’re getting a reward for pleasing you. Being a hound, a beagle is food-motivated so use that to your advantage. However, make sure the dog doesn’t see the treat before you issue a command, or after a while he will only obey if he’s able to see the treat, and that’s not what you want.

6. Beagle-appropriate training methods work best. Use a beagle’s natural tendencies to your advantage. These dogs are bred to hunt and track, obviously having an incredible sense of smell. If you can incorporate that into your training, you’ll experience a higher success rate. Anything involving running, retrieving, or discovering buried objects will be much more fun for him.

A trained beagle is a good beagle, just as any breed of dog that is well-trained is a good dog. Yes, they can be a bit difficult at times. I know from experience. But if you’re diligent and stick with these 6 basic guidelines, you’ll have an obedient beagle that will bring you years of love, loyalty, and happiness.
