Was the dog OK?

After a whole tube of Colgate he's gradually recovering. Poor bastard.

Is that new generation EF mod training that is expected of all of us?
Did the dog self delete afterwards? Or you told him, you will ban him?

Do we even want to know why? And how?

Beautiful dog, by the way...

Yes, with the new owner and the harsh rules you need to be prepared for riots

It's two weeks away from SO15 Counter Terrorism Command.

Don't become a terrorist. It's apparently not worth it.

Uhmmm.....hahaha. Cute. The new owner has been 2years, or is it 3 now? Just slow with the normal biz moves, we guessed. Harsh rules aren't harsh, in fact they are member friendly, mod undfriendly. I cry I cry.... For housekeeping, that is. So, I appeal to all our nice community, if you spot a troll/menace/abuser/stalker, report. Before that bastid has a chance to self delete, before we register his IP.

I thank you very much on behalf of my lowly mod-who-is-primarily-a-member existence.

Sorry, econo, back to your rabies.

I find the tail-wagging interesting. The dog seems to really enjoy his work

Umm, I know I'm a bit slow, but is this for real? (ie, is it really Econo?)

lol yeah, it's me

What? Do you know the guy and the dog and were you expecting that to happen?

I'm still shocked that he put a face to the name

Yeah and yeah and I was wearing some sort of padded coat. Although my foul language tells a lot about the efficacy of the padding.

given that he was wearing protective clothing, then i would assume, yes if only they taught the dogs to go for the neck :P

I always thought he was a middle-aged Surrey housewife

Well, yes, that is why I was asking really!
he he ......

ha ha - that's too funny!!!

So did I, lol.

Seriously though.

Must say I am a bit concerned about the training methods- as the guy seems to have no control over the dog. A properly trained police dog should NOT attack until clearly commanded to do so - and should let go immediately if re-called- not pulled off by force. Where is Meloncollie? If this is a private dog, I am seriously concerned if he is allowed out in public??

Ah yes. This is a counter terrorism dog in training. The training isn't complete. The dog is within a controlled facility with more than 60 dogs of various types and in various stages of training. Some of these dogs in question sell for more than £20k. They eat better food, get more exercise, care and training than almost any other dogs in the world.
