“That leaves us with Carter hit or was otherwise abusing the dog”

or had to often in the past and the dog had enough

[Brooklyn Attitude]

“That leaves us with Carter hit or was otherwise abusing the dog.”

Yup. Check the dog’s body for bruises or other signs of abuse. Or the dog could have had mental issues. We may never know.

I wonder if he will be held to the killing of a police officer standard that everyone else is if they kill a k9 police dog.

[teeman8r]

That leaves us with Carter hit or was otherwise abusing the dog.

BINGO! Was his name. O.

[Dick Vomer]

He hit the dog. Those dogs are unbelievable athletes. They are trained and need constant activity and training.
I’m betting he raised his hand a second time after hitting him and the dog wanted to “play”...which is what the bite and chase is to these wonderful dogs.

This guy needs to be scrutinized.

[Pollard]

I noticed it right off the bat. The dog is leaning away from him. The dog does not like him for some reason and it's actually kind of hard to make a dog not like you. They're very forgiving. Looks half way between scared and pissed. I think he made it past the half way point.

Thanks for posting the picture...

I’ll take my Great Dane any day. Of course, if he were to be provided to law enforcement, he’d need to keep his private couch and be provided with a personal valet. He has been accused of having a large sense of entitlement.

Beautiful dogs! My neighbor has a white one and I think it’s a stunningly beautiful dog. She spends a lot of time working hers.

This thread is full of naïveté

It’s all speculation by people who obviously know almost nothing about guard breeds and training

Newsflash

Sometimes dogs just do bad things like people do

Malnois are much keener than Alsatians but a bit sharper too

My in son in laws dad raises Malnois and GSD for business and pitbulls for fun

He sells dogs all ove the world to us military and to dea and to foreign oil barons wanting protection dogs etc

He’s been bit and almost killed by good dogs thst just snapped while training

Freepers should stick to opining about pets

Not working dogs

One other tidbit...if you do work with potentially vicious dogs for whatever the reason if they’ve shown a propensity to attack their handler then I better have something to save yourself handy

You cannot dog whisper al dogs.....thst doesn’t excuse abusing them but to them you are packleader and they expect boundaries to be enforced by the boss

Observe how they do it with one another....it can be harsh

I’ve currently got two male Rotts aged two and one southern style American bulldog....male all unclipped

You can easily observe alpha and best behavior

I’m a big man and have litttle trouble the dogs submitting to me and going belly up upon approach

Now if posters here saw that they would think oh god he abuses his dogs

Nope they just do it because of my presence

But they actually love meh wife more but they don’t respect her commands like mine.....she spoils them....alpha Rottie sleep on the bed when I’m gone

I’m old and have dealt with major dogs since late 1960s

I use invisible fence on six acres up front and I will treat them firmly if I have to

Especially if I have to break them up

Usually I just talk firmly and they heel or squat....attentively....folks who have dogs like this know what I mean

I have a leather fly swatter I keep on the refrigerator like most folks

Say I’m trying to go to bed and I hear them down the hall in the den having playtime at one am if I get up and my 235 pounds stomps into their domicile and I reach up and grab that swatter and either smack it hard on the granite too Island or swat the bulldogs ass then boy it’s like attention and I’m sgt Emery

They sit and go full attention and obedience

You have to find something to motivate them....some folks use adjustment collars some folks food...I use food too when outside training ....and so forth

I see folks just talk to them over and over like with kids ....and it doesn’t work

I occasionally keep my oldest girls chihuahua and it’s a totally different gig

If she’s being defiant I just pick her up

She’s beside pliant immediately......game over....I hate little dogs.....except that one..lol

If I were guessing I’m suspecting officer was training with a collar and dog rebellled

I’ve use them and never had one turn on me but dogs learn quick who’s hitting that button lol

Bam....they will hit u

[sheana]

They’re beautiful.

[logi_cal869]

Yep. Great outline.

[chris37]

Great Danes a magnificent dogs!

There’s a few of them around here then I’ve bumped into at the dog park, they are just jaw dropping awesome.

[chris37]

Thank you <3

[chris37]

I can tell you from experience that once you fall for a White Shepherd, that’s it.

They are so beautiful and smart.

I was just letting out Petunia and Isis a few minutes ago, and was watching how the sunlight just radiates off her coat. She shines.

How terrible! You can get a ‘crazy’ dog. My aunt had a beautiful cocker spaniel who was babied but, sometimes, would get this crazy look in his eyes and turn on you. Petting him one minute, he snapped at you the next. Never seriously bit anyone but something was unstable there. He never did it to her, and she had cockers before and after who were nothing like that. Guess dogs can produce a wacky one at times, just like humans.
