The US uses them to verify PTSD. I've also noticed that new beds these days are built higher off the ground to accomodate the G.I.s who have returned
from the Middle East. [that's a lie, but not a bad idea]

I am aware that others think about this differently than I do. Roger, thank you for your input. I was not aware that coddling a fearful dog reinforces
their fear.
Admittedly, my own aversion to noise colors my attitude, but the main reason for my post in this string is that it is difficult to watch my dog suffer
from something he doesn't understand.
Of all the sensory pollutants, be it trash in yards or strewn along the highway, fat cottage cheesed-cellulite legs in mini skirts, or fart smells,
noise is the one I really can't stand. I hate boomboxes and people who impose their "music" on others, too. If I ever snap and decide to take out a
group of people, it would be noisemakers, and I would use one of their favorite noisemakers to do it.
There is room for all kinds of opinions and if you post them here you are going to get both approval and disapproval. That is OK with me.

Fact: not from some gun supply website
Geeze......we wear ear plugs when at the range . Wonder why the hell we do that?
From your gun supply website.........."Making loud noises, like banging that pot with a spoon while feeding him will also help..he will learn". I
can't stop laughing after read this article you posted! Got the dog on a muzzle too?

In part of this link's explanation:
.........."Pain results from sounds that are
much louder than our threshold of hearing. Dogs could feel pain from
sounds that weren't painfully loud to us. Very loud sounds can hurt the
ears and if a sound seems too loud to you, it is probably more so to your dog.

I hate Fireworks now that I'm a responsable adult! Fireworks are usually
accompanied by heavy drinking?!! Any correlation? San Miguel beach in Ensenada was famous for epic fireworks battles.  Burning rubbish or trash is annoying, too! Once we lit a pre pre pared firepit,
not by us, and suddenly a propane missle bottle blasted into outer space.
Glad it was pointed up! Cuidado, Amigos Tio

Fireworks are for the young and most of us, alas, are no longer that. But a world without fireworks would be a sadder place. So I support the Mexican
passion for fireworks most of the time and try to remember how it used to be.
But boomboxes in nature make me see red.

Had an aunt and uncle who bred and rasied and trained hunting dogs for many, many years. Some dogs can get used to loud noises, and some cannot.
They started VERY early with the puppies, and in every litter, there was at least one who would never get use to the noise. Those dogs were sold as
pets.
We followed all the training "rules" with our one dog when he was a small puppy, and it did not work. He is terrified-----fireworks are not a problem
around here, yet.
But some people don't care if their actions terrify dogs or other pets---afterall, they are just "animals" .

Well, it is human nature to read into it what you want. I'm glad you caught my drift though. Happy to fulfill!

It seems with all the therapy I've had, I should be further along. Do you guys always write such nasty things about people you've never met? Sounds
like facebook.
No i don't aim skyrockets at dogs...jeez people.
Thanks for sticking up for me soulpatch and santiago. Glad you are my neighbors!
Did the rest of you just need to vent? Having a bad day are we? Hope you are feeling better. |
Bravo- From the comments on the board looks like you accomplished your objective.

I am the owner of that dog "Kujo" (glad he didn't catch said rocket, I would have been more than pi**ed off) That said, Marty does warn us when he
is lighting something off, that is more than I can say for others that were lighiing the dang things off at my cabin at 2am. 
I'm not a big fan, and I know doggies hate them for the most part. Compromise is in the warning. I can't ask for more.
Mean people suck!

Cruel and Inhumane
Like the wiser ones above opined, I also hope this is just a troll posting, looking to provoke outraged commentary.
Firewoks, explosives, sirens -- imagine a .44 magnum being fired off next to your head.
We have chased lost dogs in the hills that fled their homes due to "celebrations". Nobody who was "celebrating" thought about the effect this would
have.
And don't get me started on the quaint custom of shooting off firearms into the air; when the bullets come down, sometimes innocent people die--in
their homes.

Fireworks that fly around and leave trails of beautiful sparks are one thing. At least they are fun to watch.
I don't understand the bombs. What good are they? What vicarious thrill do they provide? What fantasies do they support? Is it a feeling of
power....or dominance?
I just don't get it.
