Comments on: New Model For Dog Behavior http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/07/27/new-model-for-dog-behavior/ <> Sun, 12 Feb 2012 13:21:55 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Lance http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/07/27/new-model-for-dog-behavior/comment-page-1/#comment-8747 Lance Sat, 01 Aug 2009 02:03:52 +0000 http://www.housepetscomic.com/?p=757#comment-8747 Dogs are complex beings with unique personalities. Like people, this means that some are nice and some are assholes. You treat nice people differently than you treat assholes. That being said, constant heavy discipline isn't going to produce positive results in the long run. Shortsighted. I find that when my dog misbehaves, or tries to get away with "I know what you're telling me to do but I won't do it", putting him on his back is all that's needed to get him to "see the light". Nice and simple, no yelling needed, no rolled-up newspaper. Dogs are complex beings with unique personalities. Like people, this means that some are nice and some are assholes.

We have a group of four foxes, two sets of mates, which I watched them for about 5-6 years now, they live together, hunt together and work together to bring down pheasant, or the odd hare that wanders into the territory.

I think it's too easy for some people to marginalize pets as having 'X-behavior pattern' just because they don't communicate or socialize on the same level we do. That’s about 60 years actually.
