Whether on a leash or free, as soon as the dog leaves your four walls, it forgets its owner and the animal chooses to go its own way. But it’s important to get the dog’s attention. After all, the four-legged friend must behave properly outside. What if the dog becomes aggressive and attacks another animal? Dog and cat owners need to know this.
Can I leave my dog unattended in the garden?
According to the Animal Protection Regulation, every dog owner must ensure that their pet cannot escape. Christine Künzli of the Animal Foundation for Law (TIR) tells Blick.ch that “all reasonable precautions must be taken to ensure that the dog does not endanger people or other animals.” In principle, these obligations also apply to keeping dogs on your own property.
When should I be responsible for my dog?
It should always be checked in a particular case whether the dog owner adequately fulfills his duties of surveillance and safety. “If that’s the case, an acquittal can also be made in the event of a damaging event,” stresses Christine Künzli. Therefore, according to Künzli, a general explanation cannot be made.
What about the culprit cat?
It is important for everyone to ensure that their four-legged friend does not injure or even kill other animals. Dog trainer Giulia Lautz tells Blick: “Clearly, humans are responsible for this.” However, such unfortunate situations can still occur. There are different reasons and motivations for this.
Why do dogs chase cats?
Martin Rütter, the “whisperer to dogs”, also finds no direct answer. “Basically, you have to answer the question of whether the dog wants to chase or chase the cat,” he says. Most dogs chase cats, which is often a territorial behavior. The dog shows the cat that it has no place in its territory. This was probably true of Contini’s boxers as well.
Is the dog a hunter?
According to dog expert Erika Howald, every dog is also a hunter, as she writes in her book “If dogs were on duty…”. The hunting instinct is different depending on the breed. Hunting is fun for dogs. “But hunting is not killing,” Vet World Reiwald replies to Blick. For example, a dog will only kill a cat if it has never been used to it. There are also dog owners who encourage their animals to be killed by word or even deed.
What do you need to do to break this habit of behavior in your dog?
“If you can’t get your hunting instinct under control,” Howald writes, “my advice is to let it walk for a few months on a 20-foot towline.” However, this should not be retained. If the dog smells the prey, you can put a wrench in things. Just press the leash and use a cancel signal at the same time. Howald says that if the dog turns its attention to its owner, it should be rewarded.
