Inges vom Rauber Hotzenplotz attacks new owner - Page 1

wow, i heard through the grapevine that this dog did some number 80 stiches to his new owner last week.
how normal is this?

the scenario was to do a mugging. the decoy attacked the owner, 
the dog that was in a down about 50 feet away was to SAVE his owner. instead the dog attacked his owner and wouldn't come off!!!! 
what the owner says is that it was an accident. the decoy stopped moving and the owner did move.
 so the dog attacked the moving owner. who's dog would not know the difference between a decoy (fully suited) and it's owner.
 poor dog. who knows what will happen to him now.i would not be able to trust him.
the new owner has owned him for probably a year now

That's how you get experience. He will remember to set similar scenarios up differently.  This was not the dogs fault.

Why do people join this board or make up a new name just to post this kind of info?

i had no reason to join.enjoy reading the information posted instead but this i thought was pretty incredible and wanted to see what others thought about this. i never heard of this happening before, especially with a sch3 dog who should know the difference.

new owner,,,, how new.  maybe dog doesnt know who the bad guy really is.

Sch dogs don't "normally"  train for this kind of stuff, so depending on the dogs experience and also the handlers, it's probably a human error. If the handler was on the bottom and the decoy on top, it's a common issue. The dog goes after the weakest link.

Dog engaged a person with no equipment?
Send him to me, I will breed the shit out of him then sell him as a police dog

 Seems like a hell of a police prospect

Reminds me of a local (deceased) police K-9. He went after a rookie cop and got shot dead for it. I hear stories about this K-9 unit subjecting their dogs to physical brutality to make them "meaner." If there is any truth to it, they have no one but themselves to blame.

It's a shame that it's usually the dog that gets put down. I can think of a few people without whom the world would be a nicer place for both humans and dogs. If it were up to me, the people who provoke a dog bite (attack) - or whose children do so out of ignorance or naivete, should be compelled to take dog ettiquette classes.

And when it comes to a lot of poorly behaved children, there should be a mandatory leash/muzzle law applied to them, as well as a fine for having roaming children who put the lives of people's dogs in danger.

If I need to be responsible for my dogs at all times, even when they are on my property and fenced in or otherwise restrained, people who cannot control their children need to deal with the consequences of allowing them to roam and get themselves injured.

It does not make any sense to apply corpral punishment to a dog that is not dangerous when handled properly by an appropriately experienced person.  And if a human trains a dog specifically to attack under predetermined conditions, to act in ways it would not do so prior to that training, then that person also bears part of the burden. Dogs do not have the cognitive capacity to choose to act "evil". Humans, on the other hand, can choose to ignore reason or not to understand canine behavior - thus putting themselves at greater risk for injury. It is unfortunate if an attack occurs even if it the provocation is not entirely evident. If you remove moral judgment, the mistaken notion that revenge will heal psychological trauma, and emotion out of it, why put down a dog unless it truly is out of control?  

1st question I would ask would be how long did the new handler had the dog?  maybe he didn't give the dog enough proper bonding time.  Some dogs take a while to bond to a new handler,  its a relationship built on trust and respect.  maybe this handler didn't give the dog the time it needed before taking it out on the street and starting this type of training.
I would work a  new dog  several months at least before I tried something like this.
