'Dangerous dog' programme tonight on ITV..

Standard training is that? When a dog locks onto your arm - 1) lift your arm up and then 2) punch it in the head????? Blood boiling
 
i saw one of the birmingham dog warden jobs advertised last year and considered applying for it but didnt think I'd be suitable. I now know I would probably have had 50 IQ points on all the other candidates if those two ladies are who they chose!!!
 
Well she obviously has very little dog knowledge. She looked through the letter box of that flat and stated they were "English bull terriers", fairly obvious they are staffies!
 
I thought the dad looked like an EBT?

but yeah, leave the puppies there, survival of the fittest and then he will do it again for a bit more alcohol...
 
I didn't see the dad clearly but mum was a staffy, not a good one admittedly but the head was nothing like a bull terrier.
Sorry, yes having seen him properly dad is a bully.
 
Have not shouted at tv so much for years, shameful behaviour by all the "officials".
Completely inept handling that does nothing other than wind the dog up, why the hell not give the dog a bowl of food with some acp tablets in, to take the edge off. It was a lively dog in reality, as seen a week later. Just guarding its house then terrified by those numpties.
Even the little dog that was attacked by staffies, why the hell was the dog warden checking out the garden fence and having chat with owner with dog, who obviously hadn't seen a vet, was standing there in pain and about to go into shock.
 
glad i checked this thread, i was going to watch on itv + 1 but will not now watch as sounds like i will be very angry and upset....i hate the way dogs are classed as dangerous due to their breed.... when will someone stand up for these dogs and do something about the idiot owners?????

I've PM'd Moomin1, received a justified rebuke, and offered my apologies. As I pointed out, at least she reads my PMs!!

The next time that I have a serious whinge about that august body, I'll be certain of my facts.

I wonder if those people who were the subject of the film, are proud of themselves.

So take home message?
There are a whole load of numpty owners out there. PLUS a whole load of "professionals" who do not know one end of a dog from another.....
 
Seeing that lovely Staffie getting put down at the end was a nice touch! Absolutely horrific programme. I'm in shock after watching that. I really hate the human race at times. Disgusted.
 
Cant quite believe what I have just watched! Unbelievable that these people are supposed to be professionals :( :(

Utterly depressing programme when you realise that the owners are only part of this problem. I hope to God this was just sensationalism at its worst and those idiots were chosen deliberately but terrifying to think that the fate of these dogs lie in the hands of cretins like we've seen tonight......
 
shocking behaviour from the so called experts....

my 2 bitches would fight over food and they were not emaciated...!! so chucking food at 2 emaciated dogs...christ....stupid!?


that blonde woman was plain ignorant



who do i write a complaint too....they have done dog wardens around the UK no favours..... at all.
 
Though I agree with everything said, before you start blaming the dog wardens, one has to ask how much training they have had and what their take home pay is. Ive always believed if you pay peanuts you get monkeys, a low salary will only attract certain people and if little or no training is given then the problem is compounded. There is no doubt it can be a dangerous job which is made more so when dealt with little or no knowledge.

The dogs which we saw tonight were not dangerous, I think the message they were trying and failing to get across was any dog has the potential to be dangerous, its the owners which make the difference and I think we can all agree with that.

Seeing that lovely dog at the end and then his dead body was so sad but unfortunately is enacted all over the country day in and day out.

Esther hit the nail on the head, we need to clone Cayla or perhaps someone could pay her to go and train dog wardens, there would be an instant improvement Im sure.
