Re: Counter-poison dog training?
Rant ,WTF, bleeding hearts , how are you still on this forum? I am breaking my rule of not replying to these types of threads,to tell you that that you are an order of magnitude in the wrong .Are you in such need of attention? Or are§ you just a cruel dog owner? Only little people behave like this and really, I for one have had enough of you, either accidentally shooting your son with a pellet ricochet and drunk posting ,why are we as a community putting up with this crap /Rant

Shooting the dog with a pellet gun is a big No No . That is called animal cruelty.

Re: Counter-poison dog training?
Avoidance would be great but just not practical. I am not there much of the time and all parties are either at work or at school during the day. The garden is exposed to the street on two sides. Although the yard has been separated by a dividing fence and gate to keep the dogs away from the main gate area they are still exposed on the one side.
Both dogs and wolves are scavengers as much as hunters and it is the scavenging that worries me.
As for this being inhumane. I think you are over reacting somewhat. If this was inhumane then the very act of rigging up the fence in the first stage to keep them off of the patio should be reported forthwith to the SPCA.
After a couple of experimental wet nose encounters the dogs no longer had any interest in going on to the patio even if the one dog was mainly responding to the other dog's reluctance. After one week I disconnected the device and after about two I took away the wire fencing completely. Up until my GF moved house over a period of about 5 years neither dog could be persuaded to come onto the patio.
Based on this I think it safe in my case to deduce that the possibility may exist that in my case at least the dogs have responded favourably to this kind of conditioning.
I will take a little bit of mild shock therapy over finding my dogs poisoned any day. I think that that is inhumane.
You said that a tactic only has to be successful once and the dog will use it constantly. I have found that this works both ways.
The pursuit of perfection is indeed the enemy of good enough.

Re: Counter-poison dog training?
Springer are we talking about the same pellet his parents allowed them to shoot each other with?
I do not want to cover my ass at every corner on this forum but to answer your Q, no, I do not agree with it. If your dog is poisoned and his not I would consider openly stating otherwise but for now I'll keep to...give a better idea or give a better idea.

Re: Counter-poison dog training?
Training a dog to not accept food from a bunch of your friends is great, until the day something unexpected happens to you and you cannot be there to feed to dog
