help! Stabby
My parents' dog just chased down and killed a large rabbit. We can't get him to drop it and come inside (it's night time, we need to get to bed) and he's attacking anyone who comes near him and his kill. How the hell do I calm him down?

Spray him down with the hose.

Well, for future reference, make sure the dog knows its place in the family, the bottom. If he knows hes lower ranking he would probably just give it up with only a little bit of fight. Just assert your dominance over him :O with hose etc.

don't back down and don't act afraid of him

Yes I realize this, unfortunately my parents refuse to admit that spoiling the fuck out of the dog only leads to behavior problems... we have had this discussion many times *facepalm*

My dog did this to my little brother once. I told my brother to try again, and if he snapped at him, just kick him right in the side. It worked, and he doesn't fuck with my kid brother anymore.

Idiotic move, some dogs would've ripped his legs off. Spraying him with water would be alot more effective.

update: dog eventually dropped rabbit and came inside. Admittedly, I wussed out and didn't take the rabbit from him. Just didn't want to risk getting mauled ^^;

I would never in my life own a dog I was afraid of. You need to be a responsible owner and get your dog trained so it doesn't attack some poor bastard that tries to take it's chew toy away, or you need to put it down. Enjoy your lawsuit.

Excuse me, but in the op I said it was my parents' dog that they do not train properly. I'm not sticking my neck out for their mistake and btw I have been giving them training advice for months (crating, "NILF" etc) that they ignore in favor of the "ooohhh but he's our baaaabyy boooy" mentality.

Call a real trainer to knock some sense into them.
Or even just get them to watch an episode or two of "It's Me Or The Dog" to see all the other dipshits who say the exact same thing.
You simply cannot let a dog stay untrained like that or next thing you'll know he'll come home with a dead baby in his mouth.
This isn't an 'oh well, I guess there's no point in trying' deal, this is a 'motherfucking shit these people have to learn' deal.
Seriously, man up and stop whining just because they're the ones being idiots.

Not defending the OP, but trying to force something off a dog that you're afraid of is insanely stupid, since he could very well maul you if he's badly/not trained.

sorry but i'm with the OP. my arm > someone else's dog.

get some gloves on and go take him by force.

or spray him with a hose.

Fucking pussy.

You grab that fucking bitch in a head lock and you take that fucking down HARD. Dog's only defense is his mouth, lock that down and he's fucked. You fucking punch him in the goddamn face and see if he tries to be dominant ever again.

M dog growled at me. Once.

I'm with OP, getting ripped apart by an ill trained dog you don't own..well it's not worth the scars or the bills.
Nor is taking the dog to a trainer when the family is going to continue to treat it like they do now and it'll just revert.
I'm assuming the dog is a decent size since it took down a large rabbit. People like OP's parents need to go through a reality check..maybe see some maul victims.

Now that the dog has officially hunted down something and tasted blood, expect the dog to get more and more vicious over time.

he's a fuckign pussy for not knocking sense into his parents.

Because blood turns dogs into vicious killing machines.

Just like how outdoor cats that have killed mice end up trying to kill their owners at night while they sleep.

My dog's only ever growled at me once. I've only hit my dog once. These are not mutually exclusive events.

My dog growls at me all the time when I give him an order he doesn't want to comply with, but it's more in the vein of a kid muttering under their breath when you send them to their room.

Oh look, another retarded anon who believes that dogs and cats have the same level of domestication.(Look, even in the case of cats, some of the more domesticated and extremely small-pool breeds such as ragdolls do not have a hunting instinct. But that's another story.)

When raising hunting dogs or guard dogs, most oldschool trainers swear by giving the dog a guinea pig or a rabbit to encourage to maul and tear apart, and identify the smell of blood as "prey".

Do you know why? Accidentally mushing an animal to death in play is entirely different from purposely recognising an animal as prey and hunting it. This is why we don't have feeder guinea pigs to throw in Fido and Fluffy's bowls each morning like they do with snakes and mice, but choose to give dead carcasses that are usually already drained of blood. Aside from reasons of sanitation, it turns the animals into vicious fuckers that will one day recognise you as meat and dive in.

Ah, but when cats fight for territory, they don't fight to the death.

When dogs fight for dominance or territory, they WILL fight to the death, and they WILL often gang up to kill off the losing dog. That's why it's called a fucking dogfight.

Ultimately, humans are just two-legged dogs to them. Yes, alphas, but still dogs. If they see you with an obvious weakness or injury, they WILL challenge your position.

Cats are definitely cooler if you're too much of a pussy to own a dog.

Especially one you're too pussy to actually train.
