How does my daughter get rid of an aggressive dog?
Dear readers,
My daughter lives in Chonburi (city), she lives there with 2 roommates. One of them took care of a stray dog a few months ago. The beast was very frightened (probably mistreated). Gradually the animal begins to feel at home.
However, my daughter does not like dogs and the animal seems to be aware of this, so it has been aggressive towards her for a few weeks now. It is so bad that she is now renting another accommodation somewhere. Of course nobody wants that in the house, so they want to get rid of the beast. However, they have no idea how. Anyone suggestions?
Thanks.
Regards,
Freek
Editors: Do you have a question for the readers of Thailandblog? Use it contact form..
Ask the tessa track to pick it up or take it to a temple, that's how the Thais solve this.
You can take him to a temple for a small fee, which I once did 30 km away after the dog developed a preference for my girlfriend's chickens at home.
Dear Freek, the most obvious solution is to take the dog to a temple, most temples have a large pack of dogs, this dog will definitely find a very nice place there.
There are dog shelters in Thailand.
Another possibility is to ask acquaintances if they want this dog.
Dogs notice fearful behavior in people and therefore feel insecure and threatened. The best thing is to gain the dog's trust.
The dog apparently has a reason to act so aggressively. He doesn't trust the person in question for a penny or in this case not even half a baht.
Taking a quiet place as a person and throwing tasty pieces of meat to the dog often works within 2 weeks. Put a bowl of food somewhere while he sees this.
The dog then notices that it is better to make friends and benefit from daily tasty snacks.
Make sure that the family does not dump the dog on a temple complex or certainly not, as happened to me, exchange it for 2 buckets at a Vietnamese meat buyer.
This kind of practice, given the very heavy-handed treatment of the dog, would be punishable by six months in prison in the Netherlands.
I doubt the temple is a good place.
In the temple in our village, when the dogs bark too much, fireworks are thrown at the dogs. Nowadays there are dog shelter organizations, often founded and run by Farangs. In laem Mae Phim near Rayong I have already visited 2.
There they are well cared for with the help of donations from other Farangs and a new owner is being sought. In rural areas, a dog often does not have many more rights than a rat.
There will be some comments, but how about falling asleep.
Something that is actually done in animals if you can convince the vet that it is dangerous in humans.
Experienced up close, with an acquaintance with his dog.
The Temple, come on, gentlemen, take the path of least resistance.
Let it be covered and fucked up as far as maintenance is concerned and if you don't remember, dump that beast for the temple or at a market.
Always a dazed animal lover who will feed.
TIT unfortunately.
william,
Are you serious, putting a dog to sleep in Thailand?
If I swat a fly to death, I'm guaranteed to get a few reproaches from my Thai other half.
I recently saw one of our dogs declining (old age). His agony was truly sad to behold. My request to call a vet was totally ignored.
Euthanasia, for any living creature whatsoever, is totally out of the question here. I'm surprised you've experienced the opposite.
Well that is not too bad. Thai slaughter animals that it is a delight. Killing to eat is not a problem in Thailand. When I was in Isaan, I saw a bunch of boys with sticks dragging a dead dog on a rope. When I asked my friend what was going on, she told me that the village children had beaten a vicious dog to death. And that was the normal way of things in the countryside, she said.
Village life can indeed be quite rough in Isaan . I think many in Isaan see little difference between beating a dog or a snake to death . I have not yet forgotten the image that our dog had a noose around his neck and was thrown into a closed cage on the back of a pick-up truck with a strong swing. The dog, who was very gentle in character, was said to have bitten the girl next door she ended up in the hospital. Presumably some dogs got into a fight and the child was somewhere in between. The person with money pays the hospital costs and compensation or has to deal with the police.
Wouter indeed experienced.
It was not on the list of activities at that vet, that's correct.
The Thai prefers not to admit such things around death, in this case pets.
Buddha and so on and the strangely firm legislation that many Thais adhere to very well, but also many that don't care.
Long discussion about why Thais [and not just Thais] deal so strangely with the death of someone else.
The man I'm talking about bought a dog for his daughter.
Beast was playfully sweet, fun and kind until he grew up.
Dominant, aggressive and worse.
Vet understood that and was placed internally and put to sleep one day before examination.
Will have cost a little more than the regular bill.
Nice no of course not, better, yes of course.
See several responses that show that with some urge and hear see silent, this occurs more often.
In the past, when the dogs still lived on the street in the Netherlands and there were aggressive dogs that brought them to the gas box, it was a soft death.
I know that on Phuket they were shot at night. That was in the 90s. In the last 10 years you see that some dogs are treated decently and that small dogs are even allowed on the train.
Christmas he is called,
Chaantje thought it was such a cute puppy, mix of fox and golden retriever, that she took him home.
I demanded Christmas get all the shots and deworming. Cost a Thai fortune but all á. Adorable animal, and seemed to remain a puppy, but had to sleep outside under the terrace.
Sometimes he growled at me.
He also managed to bite a girl next door. To the hospital with the child and some toys; 20000 Bth.
Thus, Christmas was “deported” to relatives on the Moon River, where he was allowed to roam outside.
There he also bit a girl from the neighborhood and eventually also our niece.
Her father certainly did not take him to the temple, but to the Moon river.
You can guess what happened!
No, I can't guess what happened.
Didn't drown or anything?
There is a dog shelter in chonburi where 450 dogs are taken care of.

My neighbor adopted a child from the Indies, it had no parents and lived on the street. It was quite unfamiliar in this new environment at first, anxious, and easily screamed when people came close. My son doesn't like Indians like that and the kid always screams when he gets close to her. She probably senses that he doesn't like her.
In the meantime she is starting to feel at home, but my son doesn't like that, what would be the best solution
1. drop it behind the church?
2. put in a home with 500 children in 1 room?
3. have it sprayed to death or thrown into the river
4. Try to reduce the tension between the two by slowly giving the child confidence with some sweets and kindness?
What a nonsensical comparison. A dog or a child, it seems to me that there is quite a difference. You are now humanizing a dog with its behavior. In nature, such a dog is also put in its place by a pack, and that does not happen with 'treats and kindness'. But it is easy to understand the dog and be a great animal lover as long as your own child does not get bitten. I suspect that you will not downplay the matter yourself and will actually take measures to prevent a recurrence. This does not mean that I do not understand a dog with 'disturbed' behavior because of its background, but it is very easy to think that you can change a dog's behavior by being 'sweet and friendly'. Maybe after a long time, but in the meantime, as soon as the dog and your child are together, you will have to be on top of it constantly to prevent any problems. I suspect that most people do not want to run the risk of their child being bitten again. And then the choice is not that strange, it seems to me, the health of your child or the dog. But then again, being the big, understanding animal lover is easy as long as it doesn't involve your own child. But you don't have to agree with me, do what you want.
Dumping a dog will result in a penalty or fine, try to get in touch with one of the dog shelters and have it picked up, give those people a bag of dog food.
Unfortunately, I can't imagine that in Thailand there is a fine for dumping a dog. Perhaps theoretically, as prostitution is also prohibited. Just at our house I see several dogs that do not have a permanent address. I think about 10 or so.
A lot of dogs are dumped and xxxxx, a battle in the round.
Result, even more stray dogs.
If you can't take care of a dog, don't get one.
And who wants a mutt if you don't know its character.
An animal shelter?? You can open 20 tomorrow and they are guaranteed to be full in no time.
It is the people themselves who need help on how to handle and train a dog.
Most people don't have that responsibility in their blood.
Many dogs are a danger on the road, especially at night.
Most people eat, chicken, pork, etc..
Then why not export a dog to a country where it is a delicacy.
Then why not export a dog to a country where it is a delicacy. Well because they are first tortured because then the meat would taste better, or skinned alive or boiled alive. Do you think that's a good idea?
Indeed, Peter, they don't know what they are talking about. You should post some videos showing those dogs and cats being tortured to death. I've seen the most horrible things. Boiled alive, skinned alive, bludgeoned to death, thrust a gas burner into the mouth alive, slowly strangled, cut open alive. Too sick for words everyone.
'If you say A, you must also say B' is what I (fortunately) learned. If you take pets, you are and remain responsible for them. Then you have to take care of it for better or for worse! Here you see a lot of people - yes, also foreigners - getting dogs and if it's not fun anymore for whatever reason, the animal is thrown out of the car along the road (otherwise I can't call it). Stories about "bringing to the temple" are all bullshit. There are indeed often packs there and they often do not accept a newcomer. So fight with all the consequences that entails.
Asylums in Thailand are often already full, partly due to this irresponsible behaviour. In my neighborhood, dogs and cats are often no longer accepted because there is no room left.
In short, think before you get a pet. Some people think longer about buying a pair of flip flops than buying a pet. If you get an animal, take care of it. Jet beast also can't help it if you find out later that you're a jerk!
That means that no one should eat meat anymore, Peter, because for most animals it is torture when they are slaughtered.
Now that it concerns dogs, it suddenly seems to be a problem.
I read very little about that and not even when one eats a steak or carbonade.
Who is actually fooling whom?
It is also not for nothing that I mention that the actual problem is man himself.
I do not eat meat. And if you are an animal lover, then you certainly don't eat meat. It's true that most people are hypocrites. Cry for a dog that is being slaughtered, but not for a calf. Very weird….
Have you ever seen people slaughter a cow, pig, chicken, etc. in this way? This is how leather gloves are made in China. Especially if you think that dogs and cats are slaughtered in the same way. A new world will open for you! Don't watch if you have a bad stomach! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0-ufNqlELw8
Dear Bacchus, so all animals are humanely slaughtered?
Have you ever seen the fear of all the animals we slaughter? I also disapprove of animals being slaughtered in the most brutal ways.
Perhaps the way many Muslims perform ritual slaughter is still the best.
The greatest beast in this is man himself.
Many should not have a pet, but to give a dog a place of honor and just accept the rest as normal is going too far for me.
Dear Khun Tak, I have no problem with people eating meat from any animal, including dogs and cats, as long as it is slaughtered in the most humane way possible. And yes, I understand that every animal has fear when it goes to the slaughter. And yes, there is a big difference in the way sex is done in different parts of the world. Nevertheless, in China, South Korea, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia and until recently in Thailand, dogs and cats are slaughtered in the most gruesome ways, in contrast to other beef cattle.
@Peter,
If you have a dog, do you have to feed it without meat? I already feel that having a dog and cat is not done in some circles and that eating meat is only reserved for wild animals.
In nail salons worldwide, brushes with "natural" hair are used and don't think that those critters all have a happy death. Skinning alive is part of having beautiful nails, so there is still a long way to go in many areas to reduce consumption.
Yes, you can feed a dog without meat: https://www.bnnvara.nl/vroegevogels/artikelen/dieren-van-diergaarde-blijdorp-stappen-over-op-vegetarische-voeding
Peter (editors), a dog vegetarian? Yes, although opinions differ.
But one is unequivocal about a cat: no, not vegetarian. A cat is a 100% carnivore and gets the necessary nutrients only from meat.
See this link: https://www.royalcanin.nl/katten/kennis-tips-voor-jouw-kat/gezondheid/kan-een-kat-vegetarisch-eten#:~:text=In%20tegenstelling%20tot%20honden%2C%20kunnen,leggen%20je%20uit%20waarom%20niet. Although I know that royalcanin preaches for his own parish…
Peter,
You are anticipating a development in the Western world. I think the time when people eat dead animals will be a thing of the past within 10 years. By that time people will be labeled Neanderthal and underdeveloped, uncivilized.
Artificial meat will be commercially available in about 5 years.
I myself come from a butcher's family that started in 1886 and continued for 3 generations. I grew up with meat and not a vegetarian.
Dogs sense this perfectly. A dog is highly developed emotionally, and as soon as the dog senses that you are not afraid, it is over. The best remedy - contrary to how the question was asked - is for your daughter to overcome her fear, and she will benefit from that for the rest of her life. After all, people with a fear of flying also do this.
We had our dog put to sleep by a dog doctor in Thailand.
The dog was 13 years old and blind and could hardly walk anymore, the doctor also thought this was the best solution and with 2 injections it was solved, 1 anesthesia and 1 injection in the heart, painless.
Concerning false dogs, this problem lies more with the owner than with the dog, a dog is not born false but made and even here solutions and time are needed, but most do not have that.
Check out some episodes of the dog whisperer, Cesar Millan.
The best solution for an elderly dog, unfortunately I have had to make such a decision myself several times. BUT... I COMPLETELY AGREE, the problem outlined here is a human problem (it's not the dog's fault).
The aggressive dog?
I think something else is going on here.
The dog may want to protect other members of the family from what he feels is an outsider.
Dogs have been used as watchdogs for centuries
You see the same when you visit Thai people or even walk past the house.
The problem is that the third person is apparently perceived as threatening.
What also applies as an argument is that the dog is apparently not aggressive towards the 2 other residents
Killing the dog while it is only doing what a dog has been supposed to do for centuries, namely protecting the owner, is totally wrong. I would therefore recommend to check why the third person is perceived as threatening.
My first dog was 80 years ago when I was in a crib with a dog. Now had many other dogs.
