Patients from where? Hospital patients?

That is such bad advice
I am glad he asked you at least

My sister came to my house at the weekend. Both dogs were barking at someone outside. (somewhat natural reaction in our house).

Sis then decided to shout at Mindy telling her to be quiet, lifted her hand so quick, and landed it on top of her head

I went absolutely bl**ding MAD

Absolutely no way! Never have done, never would do it and I hate it! Have said so a few times to people who I have seen do this!

Thank god your brother asked and you were able to guide him in the right direction.

both my dogs have had a tap on the nose and i mean a TAP with one finger i know i hit them harder when we are playing so i know it doest hurt it just breaks their focus if they need it,
i seen some guy go to hit his dog in the park today and she slipped her lead and ran away,
no-body other than me and my mum know this but she is sleeping in my garage tonight ready for the rspca to come collect her tomoz
but anyway i would never HIT a dog as a punishment

I wouldn't want the RSPCA near any dog .... She could be PTS ...... Are you claiming you just found her?
I thought they didnt take strays any more.
Not sure I follow why they would be coming to collect her ...

If you saw a person GOING to hit a dog, this means it did not, so why are the RSPCA involved at all?

Also you have in effect STOLEN the dog, so are guilty of theft.

In addition the owner may be going out of his mind trying to locate it, incurred costs of ringing round shelters, dog wardens; may have contacted Dog Lost, producd posters not to mention the terrible stress and worry to him and may be his family and children who could be terribly distressed.

What a terrible thing to do to someone.

I hope that nobody does the same to you!

I hope you are found out of your deed who are you to steel someones dog not only that hand her over where she will be pts quiet quickly is not rehomed

I havent really had the need to do it with my two, but at a friends house yesterday she did it to her maltese x puppy when it jumped and nipped.

In the park the other day i saw a young girl (i know the girl)walking around with her pup on the lead and a water spray bottle and every time the pup went to jump at her she sprayed it, she then let it poo and walked off despite having a poo bag holder attached to the lead. Hubby wouldnt let me say anything.
