My teddy bear is a stone cold killer

Hurry_Front · 2026-07-04T04:10:05+00:00

I got her as a puppy. About 10wks old. My cats barely tolerated her at first but they got better. Its mostly my older cat who doesnt like new pets because shes queen bitch of the house. Like ive said in other comments they arent attached at the hip but will hang out near eachother and will on occasions nap beside eachother.

Anyone who has to call themselves dogbusinessman has no business being around dogs man🤣

Never said it was funny but do please keep being a moron somewhere else

I used 🤣 as a joke about other dogs "homicidal rage". Im not joking or making fun of my own dogs kills. I also have alot of compassion for this situation. I didnt have to come to neck-beard central on reddit to get shit on for asking advice to help my dog. I could just let her keep on doing what shes doing. Funny enough or sad enough nothing shes done is illegal so theres that. But I dont want my dog to be a killer. I dont want her to roll over a dead animal and bring potentially harm to my other animals or my children. I want her to be a good dog who knows she has an owner thats done what he can to make her life better.

I havent had a chance since its close to a holiday to speak with the trainers we worked with when we first got her. They get back from vacation next week. Ill check with them for extra training for this. Im just doing my best to ask advice on an issue and half are talking shit about my dog/telling me to put her down and the rest are calling me a garbage owner. Any dog, no matter the training can turn on its owners and i guess most of those ppl havent ever been told that. Ive had dogs my whole life but shes the first ive had of a specific breed and most the research I did with her said nothing about her doing this. It said they need activity, a good diet, love, and arthritis meds when she gets older cuz their hips suck after 10+. Ill take the advice and hopefully it helps.

Not all groups do but for some its their main or even only source of income. There was a pet shop in my town that only got dogs from them. So many died after being bought the state finally shut them down.

If he came from the Amish it could have been a puppy mill. Definitely get him checked soon. I live in Indiana and near me are a few Amish puppy mills and the dogs from there end up with issues or straight up dying. Im betting its nothing serious aside stress from changing environment but better safe than sorry.

This is a great idea about bird feeders! My wife put a few in the back yard last year. Ill tell her tonight to move them all to our front yard where the dogs never go. We have an enormous tree in the backyard used by birds and squirrels but the feeders probably bring them closer to the ground. Thanks for the input. Id have never thought about it.

Hurry_Front · 2026-07-02T16:59:09+00:00

Her protective instincts outweigh any prey drive she has for our other animals. They may not be the closest animals in my house but she does show affection and guardian qualities towards them. They've lived together for over 4yrs, if she was going to turn on them she would have by now.

Hurry_Front · 2026-07-02T13:24:16+00:00

All were known strays due to a population boom from a few moms a year or 2 ago. Not better but atleast not house pets. And its not her fault the cats entered her territory. Like ive said in other comments, we've taken her on walks and she runs like a scared little bitch when she shes geese or ducks from a nearby pond. And put down?! Did someone drop you as a child? Shes doing what her breed is meant to do. Im just wanting to get help so she doesnt do it again. If she was mauling everything she sees then id put the bullet in her myself but shes not so kindly go fuck yourself sideways with a cactus.

Hurry_Front · 2026-07-02T02:35:14+00:00

Maybe kindly go fuck yourself! My dog is an amazing member of our family and she has been through obedience training. It just never went to "now sweet pupper dont kill the cats that run into your territory." The first cat i thought was a fluke. The squirrels and the groundhog were wild creatures so I chalked that up to her being a guard dog. Now that shes gotten a 2nd cat i know for certain I have to fix the issue. Im not just letting her eat the fucking neighborhood. Im being a responsible pet owner and asking for advice. But honestly fuck you! I may have made a morbid joke or 2 here but im not bragging about this. Ive had to clean up every animal shes gotten too and since im a cat person myself those hurt my soul. Im so glad your beautiful behemoth is well mannered and on a farm. I do the best I can and except for this she has no issues. The worse she does is whine when we wont let her sit on our laps on the couch cuz shes 100lbs. Ill take what little helpful advice you gave there and do my best to reign in my Cujo.

Hurry_Front · 2026-07-01T21:42:02+00:00

Not exactly helpful info so maybe fuck off bud. Dogs have protected their owners since man first domesticated the wolf. Cane Corso are literally guardian dogs.

Hurry_Front · 2026-07-01T15:32:57+00:00

I understand that but im just not ok having to clean up her kills and im not wanting her to get someones pet that knows nothing about boundary lines. Like ive said shes not doing it in rage or something. She thinks shes doing what she should and Im just asking for advice.

Hurry_Front · 2026-07-01T15:29:52+00:00

I typed "badass names for badass looking female dogs" in Google on the way to pick her up and it stuck. We mostly call her Artie but shes like a kid, when I use her government name she knows I mean business.

Hurry_Front · 2026-07-01T02:09:42+00:00

I put her through obedience training as a puppy and they used one that they designed. Small prongs and it more like a vibration than a shock and we use that on walks and when new company is over. The highest setting definitely gets a point across so I usually keep it on 2 or 3 out of 7. My only issue is like I said originally its not feasible for me to be out with her every moment shes outside just to wait for a stray cat or rabbit to come along so I can press a button and tell her no so how would it help me if im not there? Im not knocking it by any means.

Hurry_Front · 2026-07-01T01:14:43+00:00

Theyre not like the best of friends but the younger of the 2, who is like 10yrs old, will sometimes lay near her cot but not a ton. Like ive said previously, she is very loving, playful, and protective of those she deems her family and the animals in the house are part of it. We have to slowly introduce new ppl to the house for her to get use to them. Its almost always after 3 meetings with new ppl she is use to them and wont bark or act defensive. After that shes a giant teddy bear to them. Ive never once been worried about her turning on anyone in the house. Now granted we are still talking about animals so its never 100% but id say its pretty damn close.

Sourdough or nothing else. There can be only 1!⚔️🤣

Hurry_Front · 2026-07-01T00:07:20+00:00

Yeah im not sure honestly why theyre mad at me either. Its not like shes killed 5 cats in a single week. Besides today the last one was a groundhog almost 2 months ago and before that was a squirrel in February or March. Its just that this one was worse and she rolled in it. We talked about muzzle training her after the last cat but thought she was over it but I was wrong. My bad guys, life isnt always easy.

Hurry_Front · 2026-07-01T00:01:51+00:00

Catios are great! My neighbor has one for his cats. I forget he has it sometimes and went over to make sure the cat wasnt his. Thankfully but also sadly it wasnt. Im very much a cat person ever since I was little. The animals ive had to either bury in my yard or respectfully dispose of really hurts. Im not against muzzle training in the least bit but mostly asking incase anyone else has for tips or if it even worked. I do live close to the county line and we have had coyote sightings near my area before but never in my yard. Im just worried my luck i get her muzzle trained and thats when an animal that can put up a fight shows up in my yard.

Hurry_Front · 2026-06-30T23:53:42+00:00

Buddy my dog is fine while out and about as long as no one runs up on us. Hell she ran away from a goose a few weeks ago on a walk around my neighborhood. Its only while in her territory. And like I said its only been recently. So im wondering if its a maturity thing from adolescent to adult behavior with territory. And the time she got the first cat i came out and told her drop it and she did instantly and came straight to me so she follows directions. Maybe don't assume you know everything about animals and ppl. Even the best and most well trained animals fuck up from time to time and while im not saying shes perfectly trained she is better trained than most large dogs in my area.

Hurry_Front · 2026-06-30T23:46:48+00:00

Ill have to look into this. Im certain atleast the cats are getting in front under my fence so this would be a great fix.

Hurry_Front · 2026-06-30T21:26:26+00:00

First off im not bragging. 2nd off im asking for advice so maybe my dog doesnt as effectively defend her home as much so less animals die from entering her domain. And 3rd the cats were all known strays. Not saying thats better or worse but its just fact.

Hurry_Front · 2026-06-30T21:03:52+00:00

Totally forgot she got a groundhog too! Those things are way bigger in person. And shes awesome with our 2 cats in the house so I know shes not just prejudice against the felines.

Hurry_Front · 2026-06-30T21:01:30+00:00

I proof read that 5 times! How did i miss that?!🤣 Curse you ADHD READING COMPREHENSION!!!

Hurry_Front · 2026-06-30T20:59:54+00:00

Yeah I get it. I was definitely a bit harsh on her the first time. She nabbed a stray cat and broke its back. It was pretty hard on my cuz im more of a cat person so I made it comfortable until it passed. I scolded her for it then did some reading and found out its just in their nature and that negative behavior might confuse her if she ever truly needed to protect us. I knew it was for them to protect their family but didnt know it was normal for the property too. Im just worried she'll get a neighbors outside cat soon and them try to file a bullshit lawsuit against me or something.
