It can be said that taking care of a pet animal is quite similar
to taking care of a child. With a child, you try your best to be good
parents but somehow your kid just cant stay out of trouble. With a dog,
you just cant keep them out of brawls or worse, attacking people when
youve done all you could sending them to obedience school, socialized him
with other dogs, taught him good behaviors as well as a trick or
two. Of course, to you, it is never yours that started the fight,
yours just
went along with the heat of the moment and before you know it, the situation
gets out of control. When this happens, you cant help but ask yourself,
what should you do?
In
order to bring to an end a fight or to prevent an attack,
you must remember never to yell at them to end, as they might think of the yelling as
an encouragement to start fighting even harder.
How to stop a dog
fight? Look around you, and if
there is a water hose nearby, try to spray them down, dont panic and aim
the water jet at their legs and feet as they are more responsive to stimuli
on their extremities rather than other places. If all these still couldnt
end the fight or attack, try to pull them apart,
but there is a high chance of getting bitten. Do not grab them by the
collars or the scruffs of their necks in the middle of a fight or they might whip back and snap
at you. It is best to have the other dogs owner to be present at
times like these, so that each owner can grab their pets tail and lift up
their hind legs off the ground as this act will surprise them by throwing
them off their balance, making it easier to pull them apart. However, if you
are at the scene by yourself, then try to take charge of the aggressor by
grabbing his tail and lifting his hind legs and then pulling him away from
the other pet.
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.
The use
of a TASER gun to discontinue brawls and
stop dog attacks are not only quick, but
also efficient. According to the information given by the National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control (CDC), in North America, an estimated
368,245 persons were treated for bite related injuries for the year
2001, and the majority of the victims were children of 5 to 9 years old. A
blast from the TASER gun will knock the aggressor to the ground as an
electrical jolt is sent through their body, and with them being in a
state of shock, there will be enough time to subdue him.
The US based Insurance Information Institute stated that for
the year 2003, dog bites accounted for $321.6 million in claims. 13,498,254
was the number of dog deaths for the year 2005, as quoted from a
report by the American Pet Association and $137.56 per incident was how much
the average cost of medical treatment for pets that are involved in
brawls,
as reported by The North American Vet Society for the year 2002. Judging
from the above statistics we can safely say that the use of TASER gun will
certainly help to cut down the number of fatalities and injuries to humans
and pets, as well as cutting down the cost of pet medical bills. On April
13th 2006, the use of a TASER gun for
dog control by a Monroe police officer named Greg Witten,
to subdue two attacking pit bulls on a golf course was published in The
Times Herald-Record. Having escaped from their Still Road home, the dogs
harassed the golfers at the Monroe Country Club, forcing the golfers to
defend themselves using golf clubs. The act of zapping them twice with a TASER gun by Witten
forced them to return home.
Having to TASER your
pet would probably be the last thing on earth any pet owner would want to
do. However, it is definitely better to be prepared for the unlikely event
of them being in a fight as you never know what could provoke your dog
or another pet to start fighting, or even worse, attacking someone. If you love your pet, buy a
TASER gun as an investment in your pets safety. After all,
TASER guns are
reasonably priced these days. To learn more about how a TASER can save their life or reduce medical bills, please visit www.beststungun.com for more information.
