What makes a good dogman

[Mickey Finn 3,065]

I have no idea what my dog is thinking....and I'm almost certain she wouldn't be able to pick a good dogman out of a lineup. Most dogs have only two things on their mind whether something tastes good or if they can hump it. I'm a crap dogman I keep mine waaay past their sell by date let them sleep on the couch and feed them chicken curry and beer at the weekend. I applaud my quarry if it escapes and take the dog to the vet if it's injured.

 

You can't tell when your dogs have to eliminate? You can't tell when they smell game?

 

See, I don't think you take weasels meaning. A good animal handler can read his charges. He can see a limp that others miss. He can read the animals body language so he's not often caught off guard by what it does. It comes down to paying attention to details. This gives him the timing necessary, to train efficiantly.

 

Walk into a mans kennels. If the waters clean, the shits picked up and the beddings dry. He's a good dog man or will be someday. He's on top of the details. I believe dogs and other animals that are acclimated to people. Can pick these qualities out. Thats how the little mexican on tv does what he does. He pays attention to the details. Animals know, they'll get what they need from him. So, they except and rely on him.

No offence mate but neither you or weasil's posts make any sense to me. You may have some kinda karma chi thing going on with your dogs but in terms of knowing what your dog's thinking I would leave the weed alone it's obviously messing with your heids . Hav a good one!

 

No offense taken. Just out of curiosity. Where exactly did I lose you? Was it the concept of timing that did it?

A good dog man is somebody who realises that when training a dog its a two way street and any faults are not always down to the dog.

A good dog man will know that he /she dosen't know everything and will always be willing to take on advice.
