    Hey guys,There's a woman who lives near myself she has a young Rottweiler [ male ]
    She always carries around a large stick and hits him if he does anything. This dog is a pure dote, i've often gone over to give him a rub down and if the dogs jumps up or even rolls on his back she will either hit him into the stomach or use the stick, i've told him it's ok if he wants to jump on myself:) but she doesn't take any notice. If he won't sit when she asks him to she will tug on his choke chain very tightly untill he will:eek:.
    I feel so bad for this dog but what can i say to her without offending her:confused:
    Cheers

    It's possible she's training it to be a guard dog I guess and wants it to be aggressive instead of friendly.:confused:

    well no she's not training the dog to be a guard dog,
    she really doesn't have a clue how to teach a dog if that's what's she's trying to do
    I agree she is a evil b...h !!!!!!!!
    lol
    I myslef have a rotty same age and wouldn't dream of doing any of that.
    Would hate to think what she would do with mine since he's soooooo hyper:rolleyes:

    If you think that she is being cruel report her for cruelty to animals. It's obviously not a one-off incident so report it. Maybe if somebody from the IPSCA gets in contact with her she will stop.

    Don't be a fool Hogzy, any dog is only as vicious as you allow it to be. either from absconding from your responsibilities to keep it under control through proper training and care or properly beating the sh1t out of it.

    You should definitely report her, mouldy aul one!

    Depends on how you treat the dog, any dog.
    I'm on my 3rd rotty and the only thing they would do 2 you is lick you to death :p
    If she continues to do this to him, i'm sure he'll turn on her in time.

    Which will result in the poor dog being put down for being an vicious beast.

    Hi lucky111. Something that you may need to consider is if the woman will cop that it was you who called the authorities on her. If you have expressed concern about it in the past to her and since you are a dog lover, she may have a good idea that it was you, even if she has no proof.
    Seeing as she is the type of person that beats on her dog, she might make life difficult for you and your family in the future, if you report her and she suspects it was you.
    Just how close does she live to you and how well does she know you?

    I'd love for somebody to give her a few cracks with her favourite stick to see how it feels... BUT... will it be worth it for you if you have to pay the price for years to come?

    Anyway good luck with the situation and fair play for the concern, but think of yourself aswell!

    Hey there Rory, yeah i know what you mean.
    She might twig that it's me.
    I'm gonna talk it over with my OH.
    But it's gonna kill me if i don't do anything.
    She has caught me staring at her when she's with other people beating him:(
    Why did the stupid woman get a rotty if she doesn't have a clue how to look after him:mad:
    Oh and she doesn't feed him dog food only 'human food '
    ' He doesn't like animal food ' WTF

    lucky111, call the local warden and see if they'll come and have a chat to her about how she should be looking after the dog.

    As an aside, I wouldn't be telling anybody's rottweiler that it's okay to jump up on me. Those dogs can reach over 10 stone - and if it's okay to jump up on you, why isn't it okay to jump up on some 12 year old? Then when they flatten the child and the child's parents call it a savage attack, the rottie gets PTS.

    Four on the floor with big dogs - makes it easier on everyone.

    Take the stick off her a wrap it around her . I would go mental if i seen anyone hit an animal.
    If ya dont do that ya could sneak to her hows and teach her dog how to sic(sp?) owners leg, without leaving marks.

    I would avoid the warden & report the matter to the ISPCA with evidence such as dates times or ideally mobile phone footage. Explain that you are worried that she might know that it was you & they will tell her a false story to keep you in the clear.

    Do something,feck what she thinks about it.

    why should she get away with this-and feeding the dog human food only shows she has no clue about dogs at all.

    ps. you should not encourage big dogs to jump up on you because your alright with it, my rotty has a habit of jumping up and im trying to discourage this as he's so big, he playfully jumped on a 4 yr old the other day and sent her flying, your letting the dog feel that this is ok.
