mesti lah! otherwise how to get awdance. Wait till they see black and white peaches and no sound one like the 3 stooges. Then they want refund, I run road Oh. Where to hide?
My loyal dogs to guard me? It's the other way round, I have to keep a watchful eyes on them so that they won't get pinched. You may not believe it but it is true. With 8 Dalmatians in my household, yet 4 months ago a burglar could come through the back gate and carted away a canister of cooking gas. This indeed is insult added onto injuries.
Sad to hear that Derrick...but even more peculiar why they chose the heavy cooking gas? May be they had no choice coz your dogs barricaded the back entrance to the house!
There is always one fear on my mind. Most dogs are glutton and dog poisoning is quite common. I wonder if there is a way to train your dog not to take food from strangers? Pat, David parents to Kiki-nicole choa
That's the same fear I have! My dogs look fierce and they can most definitely guard the house, but once someone throws in poison meat, they're sure to eat it! I know a few methods to stop dogs from taking food unless you gave it to them, but I haven't tried it yet..
Obviously you are not familiar with house-wife's chaos yet. A cannister of cooking gas if empty can fetch RM50.00 and a cannister with gas is RM68.50 A pair of chewed up slippers is but a work of art to some people. It is extremely difficult to train a dog from accepting food from strangers, let alone a piece of well seasoned meat thrown into the back yard. Fortunately, in Malaysia, lethal and instant death poisons are not so easily available in the market. The common type of poison used are rat-poison are it takes a large quantity to knock a dog out and there is antidote, provided detection is made in early stages.
Try the MOST original way to train your dog not to accept any food from stranger as below:
Step 1: Throw the "dry-pork" to his feeding bowl and let him enjoy the small piece (one to two times a day for about a week).
Step 2: Use choke chain with long lease on your dog and throw one piece of "dry-pork" anywhere except his feeding bowl. If you dog go and pick up, choke him immediately and word with "NO" (practice this for two to three times a day. Get assistance from your family member too).
Step 3: Let run freely on your dog and throw him the "dry-pork" with-in your reach. If he go and pick up, catch him immediately with "hard-core" action to his mouth and word with "NO" (practice this for two to three times a day. Get assistance from your family member too)
Step 4: Repeat the step 1 to step 3 again.
Step 5: Following week, use "liver" instead of "dry-pork", repeat the step 1 to step 3.
Step 6: The third week, use "Your Favorite food", repeat the step 1 to step 3.
You should see great result as you go into fourth week!!!
In-order to speed up the learning experience, NEVER feed your dog with your hand!!! And always provide sufficient portion of food per feeding with the same feeding bowl at the same place ... possible at the same time!!!
Practice this training every now and then to keep your dog "alert" LEO PUI Get REAL, Train REAL & Be REAL! Do RIGHT and FEAR No One!
It is so amateurish to use rat poison, needle and pins, sounds more like witchcraft than anything else. Of course in our urban Selangor, snakes may not be so abundance as compared to rural area, so I won't comment on that. The best and still the most effective method is the use of carbide. One small lump about the size of a peanut will send your dog to rainbow bridge for certain.
Welcome to Sarawak!!! Indeed, that's what happened here in Sarawak. If my recall is correctly right ... I have lost four dogs into this!!! Sad but that's the fact!!! LEO PUI Get REAL, Train REAL & Be REAL! Do RIGHT and FEAR No One!
I don't think so, Pat. Derrick and leopui should share their precious experiences with us especially for some real cases like this, so that we can beware of.

What I meant at that point was the focus should be on how to train dogs not to eat anything from strangers and precautionary methods rather than ways to administer the poison. In summary, the dog must be trained not to receive ANYTHING from strangers (which is so very difficult). I believe there is much development on state-of-the-art and creative poisoning which is probably non-exhaustive. Regards, Pat Pat, David parents to Kiki-nicole choa
OIC, you meant don't give some more ideas to those bad people how to poison dogs? It is not really that difficult to train a dog not to accept food from strangers. But it is difficult to train a dog from picking up a piece of juicy chicken laced with poison being thrown into your garden deliberately. That is why, I did suggest, if you are staying in a neighbourhood that these type of people are around, best is to have your dog indoor and be a bugular alarm, rather than guarding your house outside. There is state of the art on both -poisoning as well as preventive poisoning. But for the time being, poisoning has not reached an alarming level. So I shall skip it.
