  • I try not to use much more force than their mothers.
    • Those mothers can be quite rough with their pups in training them.
      • My bandog matriarch will drive you crazy with the constant screams from yelping pups corrected for who knows what in the night and I went from cringeing to stepping in and stoping it when I saw her repeatedly drag a ( maby 10-12 week)pup by the back leg across the yard dangling,after catching it at a trot...all I could think was hip damage! But her grandma, a gamebred eli dog accidentally killed one of her father's litter , pierced it's skull with a canine for standing in the water bowl! Don't remember the dogs I had as a kid doing that stuff...but they didn't chase bears ,fight men, or attempt a coyote ethnic cleansing like these do ether...maby she's rough with them because she jt rough!
