Dog Abuse Psychology

“If somebody is too stupid to understand the fundamental immorality of dog fighting, you’re never going to be able to explain it to him” (Kevin Hench). Most people think that pit bulls have locking jaws. This is false however; no dog breed in the whole world has locking jaws. Dogs are not always aggressive how they are raised and trained determines the behavior of a dog. Dogs have tendencies to be aggressive only if not trained properly. The discrimination against pit bulls is wrong and uncalled for. Pit bulls are not the only culprits of attacks and death to humans. Dog fighting and stray pits are the fault of the people who own them. It is man kind’s job to take care of and be responsible for their dogs. Why should the dogs be punished

This is “Dog Attack! The 10 Ways of Eliminating Aggression In Dogs” and I hope you have enjoyed the book. A positive review would be greatly appreciated if you really like it.

A 2015 study found that 16.1 million adults in the United States had experienced at least one major episode of depression in the past year. This is one of the most common mental illnesses in the country. Anxiety is another common disorder, with about 40 million people suffering from it. It is important that such patients seek treatment early to keep their mental condition from taking a turn for the worse. Another thing that can be of immense help to such people is getting psychiatric service dogs to help them in this battle. Let’s take a look at how such dogs can help patients with depression and anxiety.

Dogs are what their owners make of them, they are shere products of their environments and feed off of how their owners treat them. For example, in America pit bulls, over the years have been portrayed as harmful or aggressive. These views have lead to manying uncompassionate acts towards this lost breed. Such as, selling the dogs for drugs to people who could care less about them to forcing pitbulls in harmful dog fights. In America’s society today some often view pitbulls as just a way of breeding dogs. This means that they essentially are not taking part in what it actually means to have a pet. People are suppose to provide, feed, care, and love their dogs and in some cases that’s not their important objective. The underlying issue that

Scores of people believe that if a dog displays aggressive behavior towards other dogs, they will become aggressive towards people too. As robin rock, who works for Petfinder, clearly states in her web article

My first reason is that trained pound dogs should be given to homeless or to disabled children. Think of it the dogs would get homes and the people are happy with a new pet. The disabled children would get a new help of support. Or maybe, wait… Idea!...Hatched!! -quote from fuller house( a TV show), “If we train the pound dogs as service dogs that could help the blind or even the police!” Dogs could be quite helpful if you know how to train them. Dogs need a loving home. That is why I think dogs should be given not killed.

1. Thugs who need a tough dog to feel tough intentionally doing everything they can to make their dogs mean. This includes, beating, starving, baiting, feeding weird crap like gunpowder....They also never socialize, train, or neuter their dogs. This intentionally creates a dog that is both dog and human aggressive and will most likely kill other pets and end up being euthanized for biting someone.

Dogs can help us humans with mental health. Many service dogs are used to help people who are deaf or people that are blind. How about people with mental issues? Dogs not only help us with physical problems but also with mental problems like depression. In the article “Therapy pets and humans with mental health issues” the author “ dog time” starts to state in the 3 paragraph “Trained animals [iii] are used to benefit patients suffering with emotional and behavioral disorders, depression, autism, substance abuse, and dementia.” (2010) This can show how animals can help us with mental issues because animals can understand many struggles us humans have, because after their trained they can not only understand us but also

Rather, it is the dog owners who should take full responsibility for their dog’s actions and by having breed-specific legislation take effect in the law, it causes awareness that prosecution is possible and causes owners to take regulations and follow rules in order to reduce detriment in their society and should be followed at all costs. Strongly enforced dog control laws such as leash laws, generic guidelines for dealing with dangerous dogs and increased public education efforts to promote responsible dog ownership are all positive ways to protect communities from aggressive

This is mostly because it doesn’t target the right race, humans. Instead of forcing irresponsible or negligent owners to give up their dogs and take the blame for their actions they blame the dog’s nature. I find that slightly humorous due to their extreme swing from one side to the other. A study reported by Robert reeves law states that 84% of dogs involved in fatal attacks were neglected and abused. And goes on to show a study that states Pit bull terriers passed an American Temperament Test with a rate of 86% with only 201 dogs failing this test.( Robert reeves law) A different study shows that dogs living in census block groups that had incomes less than the county median, $41,278, were 1.5 times as likely to be reported as a biting dog as reported as a non-biting dog. (American Kennel Club) Again I will concede to their logical position on spaying and neutering a dog so as to help them not be territorial of a mating areas or fight due to testosterone levels. Although my first issue still stands, this could be true of any dog. All dogs can bite and cause significant damage. There is no actual scientific study that has been done that can prove that any one breed of dog bites or causes more damage than any other specific breed of dog. There have even been a few cases of dogs weighing less than thirty pounds maiming or even killing children. I’m

There are many animals who deal with abuse everyday, and that is not okay. If an animal is neglected or abused the pet will be taken away and the caretaker will be charged $1,500. Animals are very loyal, such as dogs, dogs are one of the most loyal animals you can own. When abused, they don’t know where they went wrong. They only know that you are mad at them. Animals, such as humans, shouldn’t be abused or neglected. Most animals who are abused or neglected are usually abused unintentionally, but the second most are abused on purpose. The people who abuse animals on purpose sometimes deal with mental illnesses, were abused as children, or have a hard time dealing with stress or anger. Animals are just like humans who have been abused. They are usually skittish and shy. People tend to see animals differently than humans, but they are the same in my eyes. For example, if I locked you in my basement, starved, and beat you, I’d be charged with attempted murder and kidnapping. Pets have the same rights as you to live freely, but people don’t see it. You are able to live on your own and take care of yourself, but they

If a child get bitten by a dog, family members are frequently there and observe the attack. On certain occasions, the attack takes place when the child is going to or back from school, with by a family member. Otherwise it can occur whenever the family is staying with a friend or relative as a guest that own a dog. When the suffered one’s direct family member observe the dog attacking, the observing family member can start a claim in court or insurance firm for the psychological injury they experienced. Becoming

Sadly, it is estimated that about “16,000 dogs [are] killed each year in organized dog fights and that number continues to grow,” according to the stop dog fighting organization. Not to mention, it’s also “not unusual to see $20,000-30,000 change hands during a single fight" (“What Is Dog Fighting, and What Can You Do To Stop It?”), but the price to pay is even higher because the penalty if you are caught is a $250,000 fine and three-year imprisonment. Dog fighting is a brutal illegal sport that not only harms the dogs themselves but also the people involved, and can be prevented by spreading awareness and taking action.

In the next case study, Jackie is a 23 year-old who was bit by a dog which required stitches when she was only 3. She remembers what happened in detail and the psychological distress from the trauma causes her to avoid dogs at all cost, however; she is engaged to a dog breeder and will need to learn to how to get past this before she gets married in which dogs will be a constant part of her life. Jackie needs help in overcoming this fear so she can live a healthy and happy home life. When trauma and distress engulf a person’s life and in turn dictates their behavior, there are specific principles that analysts use to help the individual overcome this obstacle and develop a modification

Dog fighting is a very cruel thing, and it is happening right under our noses. It is illegal to fight a dog in all fifty states. By being an observer at a dog fight, it is against the law in forty-seven states. So why do people continue this cruel practice? The answer seems to be money. Some people who breed dogs for fighting can sell their puppies for up to two thousand dollars. Even though fighting dogs is making money, it is cruel since pain is inflicted on the dogs; the ASPCA and the Humane Society are trying to prevent this with proper training.
