wildcard451 0 #3 January 19, 2009 QuoteAre you justified smashing the mutt that does this in the chops with your helmet after it nips at two others and tears up a canopy? This has been a dropzone public service announcement. Chinese restaurants will pay good money for your pooch and skydivers are always broke. Leash it or lose it! Agreed. The dog that runs up and bites a hole in my canopy will be lucky to live back to the hangar. Unfortunately that is a pure gut reaction, but most likely. Barring that, the owner will be buying me new gear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 858 #6 January 19, 2009 You could have just called animal control and had the animal locked up! They bite, they go to doggie jail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #7 January 19, 2009 QuoteLeash it or lose it! AND train him so you can call him off of ANY kind of chase situation, and never ever leave him unsupervised. You are his pack leader, and he's your dog and your responsibility! Until your dog will listen to your commands every single time in any kind of situation no matter what else is going on, he does not belong off leash, period. Until then, he's a hazard to everyone around him, and he's likely to get hurt, injure someone else, and get you sued if he's left to run around by himself. If you love your dog, supervise him and train him! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 858 #10 January 19, 2009 Fully agreed, but the owner isn't the one that bites and risks spreading diseases. If an owner is irresponsible enough that the dog has bitten someone...there's a chance the animal isn't well cared for medically. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turtlespeed 226 #11 January 19, 2009 QuoteQuoteYou could have just called animal control and had the animal locked up! They bite, they go to doggie jail. They should lock up the owner instead. I think both - Perhaps a class C misdemeanor, fine-able with community service . . . at the very least it should be a ticket-able offense. Maybe someone should be given custody of the dog until a class has been successfully completed on ownership responsibilities. Hmmm - Like Puppy Services as opposed to Child Services.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterrig 1 #13 January 19, 2009 Agreed! Over the years, at various dropzones, I've seen a dog that was un-leashed, after the owner got out of their car and the dog ran-over and peed all-over a brand-new Racer that had just been assembled and packed. I've seen the results of a dog that had her puppies in a canopy and totally destroyed the parachute. I've seen dogs chew the hell out of a cutaway handle and so-on. I think, it is way out of line for dog owners to bring their dog to the DZ. Not all of the above mentioned dogs were owned by skydivers but by 'visitors'. They need to make other arrangements for their pooch before coming to the DZ. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #14 January 19, 2009 Quoteit is way out of line for dog owners to bring their dog to the DZ if it is not trained. Fixed it so that I could agree with you. My dog is either in his kennel, supervised or with me. he is a very well behaved dog and loved by all at my home dz. Hell, I GOT HIM AT the dz. that doesn't give me or any other dog owner Carte blanche to the hangar. there are rules that must be followed etc. THIS weekend I was back at my home dz and brought my dog. A tandem student brought thier dog and it was nipping at everyone. I almost kicked the fucking thing when it nipped at my dog. (My dog is 10 pounder the other one was a 60 pounder) I brought my dog to introduce them and they were fine at first.

I'll take it a step further. If an owner refuses to control thier dog, make them jump a Racer for the rest of the weekend. If his dog does it again, put a Firebolt in it!

I think part of the issue at hand when people make the decision to bring their dogs to the DZ (jumpers, spectators, family, Tandems, anyone) is that they are using the wrong point of view. They are determining that their dog is a well behaved dog. Well what does that mean? Everyone has a different opinion of a well behaved dog and also a different opinion of when its appropiate to have them around. For example i love dogs but do not own one. This means my veiws on whats accepted behavior is going to be a little different than that of someone who owns a dog, and a lot different than someone who does not own one and hates them. One of the ancient philosphers (Kant i think) said to make a deicsion you need to make it from the viewpoint of a disinterested spectator. That way it is completely unbiased. For example, smokers dont care if someone lights up next to them. Guess what? Nonsmokers do. And there is different levels of this too. Smokers are nice and go outside to smoke because they are considerate to nonsmokers. However, from a nonsmokers point of view now they have to walk through a cloud of smoke to go in and out of an establishment. This is a great example of two different mindsets when both people think they are in the right. Another great example is screaming kids. I hate it when a kid is bing fussy in a public place. The parents never seem to mind because they know the kid could be a lot worse. I on the other hand get pissed. I didn't sign up for that crap and i dont want to listen to it So i guess even though i fully support "well behaved" dogs at the DZ the problem at hand is any owener that brings their dog to the DZ has already made the decision that their dog is well behaved when in fact viewed from someone else that might not be the case.
