Police dog trainer says it's OK to for officer to punch his dog.

So many people "love" dogs, so few understand dogs. Dogs are canines who evolved in a clear social context and order. They help their group and work together. They have a clear leader. It is a must for their existence. If they do not see a clear 'alpha', they assume they might be and will act accordingly. It has to be quite well established who is in charge in a relationship with canines. If you are not the alpha, you're just another dog.

I have a dog. I have had no need to beat it.

No decent person would ever hit a dog.
You do not have to ever hit a dog.
That is not how you gain alpha respect.
The police want dogs to be aggressive, and that is illegal.
Dogs can only legally be used for tracking, and training or use for attacking is totally illegal.
Almost all police dog handlers are criminals and should be arrested.

"No decent person would ever hit a dog." A ridiculous position. Have you ever been attacked by a dog?

Well of course I meant their own dog, a pet, that knew and trusted them.
A dog that is not your pet is a whole different story.
 
any time you interact with a dog...one of you is being trained...make sure its the damn dog...there is an old saying with dog trainers...."make them see god' the attitude being one hard correction will override many minor corrections...i will not claim my pack is well trained...i have a much more lax attitude toward this mixed pack than i do with my dobermans...i simply refuse to start over with a doberman...i am too old and dont have the strength the solid 2 to 3 yrs of training take

If one has to use a dog as a weapon, then you have to over ride the normal functions of the dog and the human. But that is not normal or legal, and is an exception only allowed on war. It is not legal for police to use dogs to attack.
It is only legal to use them to track or sniff.
 
i beg to differ...you have to teach a dog to bite..and when to bite....my small terrier....e.t. is a nervous biter...kids give him anxs....loki is a defensive biter...he nailed my neighbor ...lucky for both it didnt go thru neighbors work pants...semba is a big baby...only time he has even spooked anyone...we were at an art show ...a lady in lawn chair was talking with her hand....semba just went under her hand....so she could pet him ...oddly enough he is the pack leader
 
Here we go again.



A police officer in North Carolina seen on video lifting a K-9 by his leash and slamming him into a patrol car has resigned.

Salisbury Police Officer James Hampton tendered his resignation after the department recommended him for termination following an external investigation, police said in a news release Wednesday. Hampton was allowed to resign following a due process hearing, according to department policy.


Resign and get hired somewhere else.

How is it that this guy gets to keep his job?


nvestigators said Trooper Dustan Rubenacker, 29, was participating in an exercise with his K-9, Odin, in March when Odin wouldn't properly focus on the correct target. Rubenacker is accused of hitting the dog, which led to a fracture to Odin's right hind leg.

The dog underwent surgery, but it's not known if he will return to work.

An excellent example of the type of person that needs weeded out of law enforcement.
 
Well he didn't punch it.

A judge in Louisiana this week sentenced a former police officer to spend up to 20 years behind bars for possessing child pornography and sexually abusing his dog, Shreveport ABC affiliate KTBS-TV reported. District Judge Michael Craig handed down the sentence to ex-Bossier City cop Terry Yetman, 40, who in August pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography and five counts of sexual abuse of an animal.

While animal abuse is unforgivable, it should be clear many people in uniform should not be cops at all.
Anyone who can hit an animal that can't fight back, is going to abuse the power they have over other humans as well.
 
Since cops seem to so universally abuse animals, seems to me they likely are not very good people in general, who get attracted to that sort of business, so maybe police in general do more harm than good?
We seemed to do fine 120 years ago when we did not have police?
 
There were only a quarter of the number of people on Earth about the end of WWII. As some people say, "things change".

That change however, the doubling of the population every 22 years or so, is one of the things that will have to change and we should deliberately ensure changes.
The earth has fixed and limited resources, so we must also limit the population.

Intelligence would logically imply such limitation naturally and voluntarily. It looks increasingly likely that it will be natural but involuntary.
 
I have a dog. I have had no need to beat it.

No one ever has a need to beat any animal.
All domesticated animals want to follow orders and do not have to be harmed to force them to.
Anyone who deliberately harms an animal by causing pain, is just a criminal who likes to cause pain.
And police are not above the law, so need to be arrested when they do that as much as anyone.
Being an alpha to dogs does not require any fear at all, and actually fear is extremely counterproductive, as it will increase their harmful response towards others.
