There will
definitely be those good and bad moments when taking care of a pet. You can
compare it to taking care of a child, as it is pretty similar like when you
try to get them to stay out of trouble and they just cant, just like you
cant get dogs to stay out of brawls or worse,
attacking people, after you took the effort to send them to obedience
school, make them socialize with other canines and taught them how to behave
properly and even teach them a trick or two. For all you know, its never
yours that started
those brawls, its always the other anuimal! Yours merely went along with the
heat of the moment, and before we know it, the situation just gets out of
hand. It is always at these kinds of moments that you wonder what is the
right thing to do.
So, how to stop a dog fight or prevent an attack? The first thing to remember is not to
yell at them to break it
up; they might mistake the verbal sounds as an encouragement and start fighting
even harder. If there is a water hose nearby, you can try spraying them
down, try not to panic and aim the water jet at their legs and feet since
they react more strongly to stimuli on their extremities rather than
elsewhere. If this doesn't work, you'll have to pull them apart; this is
dangerous as there is a distinct possibility of getting bitten. Never grab
them by their collars or the scruffs of their necks while they are
fighting or there is a good chance they will whip back and
snap. Hopefully, the other pet's owner will be present at this horrifying event. Each owner
can grab their dog's tail and then lift its hind legs off the
ground. This action naturally startles them by throwing them off balance and makes it
simpler to pull them apart. If you are alone with the dogs, grab
the tail of the aggressor, lift his hind legs, and pull him away from the
other animal.
TASER gun is another way of bringing to a halt brawls or preventing attacks. Although this
alternative might seem like a little extreme on the control matter, and even
a little cruel, but it is the least painful as the pain suffered by the pet from the TASER
blast is very mild compared to the pain of injuries they can get from a
nasty fight. Besides, using a TASER gun
has no permanent damage to the attacking animal.
A TASER gun can be
used to bring to a standstill brawls as well as
stop dog attack
pretty fast and efficiently. An estimated number of 368,245 persons were
treated for injuries relating to bites in North America for the year 2001, and these victims were mostly
children between the ages of 5 to 9, based on the statistics from the
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (CDC). The blast from a TASER
gun can send an attacker to the ground with its electrical jolt, and there
should be plenty of time to subdue them when he is in the state
of shock.
According to the US based Insurance Information
Institute for the year 2003 dog bites accounted for $321.6 million in
claims, the number of dog deaths for 2005 was 13,498,254 as
quoted from a report by the American Pet Association . The average cost of
medical treatment for pet involved in brawls was $137.56 for each incident as
quoted from The North American Vet Society for the year 2002. Thus from
viewing the high number of fatalities and injuries to both pets and people
it should be clear that a TASER is an efficient way to keep both people and
pets safe and also a way to cut down on pet medical bills. An example of the
use of TASER gun for dog control was a report published in The Times
Herald-Record on April 13th 2006 detailing the use of a TASER gun by a
Monroe police officer named Greg Witten to subdue two attacking pit bulls on
a golf course. The dogs which escaped from their Still Road home had been
menacing golfers at the Monroe Country Club and golfers were left defending
themselves using golf clubs. Witten zapped them twice forcing them
to return home.
You
can never imagine your pet being in a fight. However you will
never know what could provoke them or another pet into fighting, or worse, attacking someone. Even if you certainly cant imagine
having to TASER your pet, it is best to be prepared for such events, no
matter how unlikely they might seem. As
TASER guns are pretty inexpensive
nowadays, it is a good idea to invest in one for your pets safety. To learn
