“I will never go back there again while that dog is alive.”
Correct attitude, but if it was me, I would be able to go back the next day. Of course, if you told your niece you were going to kill her dog in the next 5 minutes if it did not start acting right, then she might not invite you back anyway.
What should happen is vicious/barking dogs should be hiding when you show up, either because the dog is smart or because the owners don’t want them, uh.., disciplined. I don’t whisper, the dog recognizes my attitude.
I have 8 dogs and I squirt them with a water pistol if they misbehave, started when they were pups. So if they bark, I just motion to the water bottle and they immediately shut up. Uncontrolled dogs should not be tolerated.
I'd kick yer ass to the curb and if you had any brains you would know that you were never welcome back.
Problem solved.
That’s the problem with a lot of dog owners my niece included. Especially if you have a big dog. They need to know how is the pack leader. And Tango obviously thinks he is. Once when we visited I had my daughter with me. Tango was body slamming my daughter out in the front yard. I got her and hi tailed it into the house. My nieces attitude was he was just playing. I said, no he was behaving aggressively. She didn’t believe me. The scary thing is, she has two small boys 8 and 5. I pray they are never hurt by that dog or the other one.
