11.15.10 | cats can be much bigger shits than dogs. |
Enotron
11.15.10 | don't know, hence the "seriously have no experience with dogs " part |
Enotron
11.15.10 | @jesusslave: yeah but you can kick cats away, dog was crazy huge. |

porch
11.15.10 | if it's suspicious of strangers you should've been introduced to him slowly by the owner while it was still on a lead
just give him some food and build up some trust |

11.15.10 | You kick cats? |
Enotron
11.15.10 | @porch: I was over there the over night receiving directions and it was fine and friendly. I went over and as soon as I opened the porch door it ran off and starting charging at me and then running off again. I let it run around a bit and when I called it over I stood still and it jumped on me a bit which was fine but when I tried to get it over to feed it starting freaking out and tried to bite me. finally I left some food in a bowl and while eating I got the leash around. he was fine on the walk, but eh. It was basically just really afraid of me and it ran off before I could take off the leash as it entered the porch. |
Strider
11.15.10 | don't look him in the eye like you own him though. Or he'll maul you like a rabid wolverine, thinking you're challenging him |
Enotron
11.15.10 | "You kick cats?"
that would be a joke |
Enotron
11.15.10 | "don't look him in the eye like you own his though. Or he'll maul you like a rabid wolverine, thinking you're challenging him"
Thanks I will try to avoid that. |

11.15.10 | "ha ha"
once again, I said that in response to jesuslaves to imply that cats can be ignored when they act annoyingly. now do you have anything worthwhile to post? |
Enotron
11.15.10 | "The dog has a gender, it's not an "it." Maybe you should call him/her by name to gain trust. Also, try being more comfortable around him/her, dogs can sense discomfort and will respond accordingly."
I did both of those things. |

There's a reason dog owners are referred to as 'masters' - you have to always appear like you're in charge, never seem vulnerable. Dogs are domesticated, bred to be strictly controlled; the personality of the dog will affect it's temperament, but even the most pleasant will act wildly if allowed. You've already let it walk over you, so you'll have to make it very clear in the future if you want to alter your relationship. Just look it in the eye, point at it and tell it to shut the fuck up in a stern voice. When it's good, compliment it and stroke it behind the ear.
Basically, man up. |
Enotron
11.15.10 | well thanks for the advice, the original "man up" didn't really do or imply anything. |

11.16.10 | Yeah, you really just have to show it you're the boss. All instructions in a very, very firm voice and don't give in to it. If it does something wrong, a loud and firm 'uh!' often does the trick. |

i think it's a stoner thing
"Yeah, you really just have to show it you're the boss. All instructions in a very, very firm voice and don't give in to it. If it does something wrong, a loud and firm 'uh!' often does the trick."
Much appreciated. As far as entering the porch, should I just go straight for dishing out the food and not introduce my presence(as I tried last time)? |

Way to a dogs heart? Food. Get it a doggy treat from a pet store. |
Strider

Cats are all stealthy and shit, so point for them. Dog are fucking loyal as hell, so they get a point. I'd say they're even, and it's just a matter of preference
|
Captain North
11.16.10 | Well, it's going to know your present regardless of whether you introduce yourself =P I'd say getting it a doggy treat is a pretty stellar idea, although it should be something it won't spend hours chewing since you're taking it for a walk pretty much straight away. |
