[geeks] Dog fights (Was: Re: [nlug] Re: Microsoft Licensing C hanges...effective October 2001)

[Fogg, James]

I've had to break up fights between my Huskies. When two start, the others
all join in. Usually I win, otherwise my wolf hybrid wins. Only the hybrid
was stupid enough to turn on me, and I have scars and broken fingers from
the attempt. She has been edumakated that its a bad idea to turn on the
alpha dude. The edumakation involves jumping the dog, rolling her, pinning
her and then barking in her face and holding her until she backs down (and
pees too, unfortunately). I know it sounds stupid, but it worked like a
charm. Professional dog trainers know this technique. Its used for
hyper-alpha headstrong dogs. It basically communicates in their language.
