Tarak orang yam cha? hehe... This kopitiam very quite. Let me start with something.

Today morning, MBPJ car come can catch those stray dog. About 5-6 dogs been catch. It using the rope to tight their head and just pull into the lorry(small). Look so poor but I think my Taman was too many stray dog and people start complain about their poo, pee and also some bite people.

Do it good to let them catch? Are them going to put all the dog they catch to sleep mode?

Poor...

it's a sad scene..why are there so many stray dogs? all cause of us humans.

I know some die during the journey cause it's really conjested in the van. Don't know if they get executed upon arrival or are kept for a few weeks for possible adoption.

Did anyone read the Star sometime back on how the municiple council just barged into a school compound and shot a poor tame dog in front of all the students, let it bleed for a while and then used a meat hook to fish it up while still alive like nothing happened? Man that is cruely and i hate them for their unprofessional dealings with strays.

I not sure... I jus move in 4-5 months there... I think the 1st time i go there have more than 10+ stray dog... some of aggresive may protect themself. As i ask alot poo and pee around my "taman".


Yes... cruel... lucky this MBPJ quite skillful in catch... use rope and catch compare last time i saw using wire.

I hope them can adopt by someone.

One other thing that can help with stray pets. HUMAN education. If you are not in it for breeding. Neuter or spay your dogs!! Prevent unwanted new borns and prevent more stray dogs.

I think dog lover only will do... Spay or neutral need alot money right? I still havent spay my prince

Guess you are right. Well I was afraid of unwanted 'accidents' so I got mine spayed. Vet recommends that a dog be neutered for spayed if not breeding. Most resources I read also mentions that your dog will be healthier.

hey dog lovers, any of you brought ur dogs to the beach b4? i'm planing to bring my 2 rotties and a beagle for trip to the beach this weekend, i think they need to see the world!

any advice on what to look for,what to bring, what to do if they jump into the sea? feel free to say anything

10s

Hmm... you'll probably need a leash to keep them close, a scooper for the poo poo and shampoo if they do jump into the sea. Some dog breeds love the water. Don't think your beagle is one of them. Even if they jump in, i'm sure they won't swim away. Have fun.

In regards to spaying, yes it does keep the dog healthier. Many female dogs that are not spayed seem to develop womb infection (especailly those not 'active' in the reproduction cycle).

Beach... which beach ? I also want to bring ler.. but dont know which is suitable for my doggy

Better make sure you dog can obey a few simple commands too before you let it loose like come when you want it to come back. Unless you go to a secluded beach or a private beach, I am sure there will be other people there too. Teach your dog some social etiquette before letting it loose.

Other than that I guess have fun! I am sure your dog will love to be able to run around.

M2K2Land, I just read Prince's blog. Really funny and have great pictures.

Yeah this might be a problem if got chance going to beach. He (GR) like to jump to other people... It that the behaviour of GR? He always excited to kids and girl... jump when he meet anyone of them. I already let him social alot but still very playful. Sometime it scare people (those who are not dog lover and scare dog).

Thank and will do better in prince's blog. Stay tunes

M2K2Land, looking forward to Prince's blog. I enjoyed reading it very much.

I don't think it is a behavior of GR's only to jump on people. Mine does it too. I have seen many other dogs do it. Usually puppies are more excited and tend to go up to people.

Just to share with you what I have been doing to correct this. Not too successful yet but I have seen improvements. You can do this very easily by asking friends help.

I first command Mika to sit then have a friend approached her. If she starts getting up and pulling, I tell her to go with me in another direction and then have her sit again. After she settles down, I have my friend approach again. If she starts pulling and wanting to jump, I have my friend stop approaching and either go in another direction or just stand still. Until she can settle down and sit properly, she will not get pet and hugs from anyone. My goal is to teach her if she jumps then no one pays attention to her. Currently, she still gets excited but I can tell she is more hesitant now to jump on people after I have her sit and go 'epp epp' very loudly to tell her no!

I do the same now when I come home. If she gets all excited and jump, I shut the door and issue the command 'sit'. Until she can sit properly and be calm, I will not come in to pet her. This has been very successful. My other goal is to get her to sit further away from the door. She usually sits too close to the door so I cannot open it.

She goes through the same training too when I take her for walks. As we approach the door, if she pulls and jumps, I will stand still until she understands that if she continues to pull and jump, she will not get her walk. After she settles down, I tell her to sit and then wait. I then approach the door, open it and step outside. If she decides to come forward without waiting for my command to come, I shut the door and go back to the same spot I want her to sit and wait, and repeat. This has also been very successful. She now sits until I tell her to come towards the door.

i luv dogs as well but the cleaning progress makes me sick

Sounds like you have an untrained dog then. I don't feel like I do a lot of cleaning after getting my dog and after proper 'toilet' training. Regular vacuuming to vacuum up hair, mop floor every now and then or if dirty, and giving the dog a good bath when it needs one. Not too bad I say for a great companion.
