Went to feed the horses this evening. The yard backs onto a very well used dog walking route.
Fed horses, was chucking out hay when kids come pelting over, yelling there is a man LIFTING his puppy clear off the floor by the lead, because its pulling.
So we all go over and yes, he is almost choking the poor thing by hanging it off the end of its lead, two foot off the floor. Cue HUGE amounts of swearing, insult throwing, and im ashamed to say threats of physical violence if he doesnt put the puppy down immediately.
If I had been braver, I would have taken the poor thing, but the guy was bigger than me, and my kids were scared as it was with my ranting and raving.
I have left a message for the local community policeman as the man is obviously a sandwich short of a picnic if he thinks dangling a little puppy off a lead will cure its pulling....
Poor poor puppy having a moron like that for an owner:(
 
Good for you for stepping in!

Hopefully when it grows up a bit, it will nail him. He will deserve it.

And then he'll probably PTS/dump at a rescue/dump on the streets.

Better to say that hopefully he will have a dreadful accident with a badly wired toaster. A murderous devil toaster. The explosion created by the deranged and wanton toaster will result in horrific injury and eventual, slow, excruciating death to the man in question. Eventually, several hours after he has expired, concerned neighbours will report the smell emanating from his abode. Upon investigation, both corpse and puppy will be discovered. Lack of relatives will result in the corpse being cheaply disposed of, whilst the puppy will be adopted by one of the aforementioned concerned neighbours (who just so happens to be certified as the worlds #1 bestest dog owner ever).

But then I could be taking it a little to far :confused:
 
He would have to nom it all over in order to maintain a decent weight. Fortunately all concerned will attribute the missing meat to a rat infestation, so the Daily Fail will never get hold of his story and tout him as a 'man-eating dog'. Instead they will proudly show off the animal-loving nature of the British by highlighting his fast adoption and lucky escape.
 
Always worry someone will say something about me checking pip (not lifting her up!). But she does actually heel just 5 minute reminder.

But some of the people I've seen are amazing, not sure what they are trying to achieve, no voice re-enforcement, no consistancy with voice command, their timing or the position of the dog. I'm not an expert but cringe.

You are so brave for saying something.
