Re: [PSY] New doggie law for Subang Jaya (and maybe others?)

Hitting your dog for no reason that he can fathom IS abuse. It is a shocking and disgusting way to treat your dog. That is not the way to train a dog to be a watch dog and it is certainly not any acceptable method taught by any reputable dog trainer.
I don't know how you came by that idea that that is how a dog is trained to be a guard dog. That is the way to make a dog psychotic, unpredictable and definitely dangerous to others. Hitting your dog for no reason other than to make it retaliate is called TORMENTING your dog. It will make your dog scared of humans. No wonder when a big Indian man walked up to your gate your dog just sat there and watched. Undoubtedly, your dog thought it safer to stay out of his way than to get in his way and make himself the target of a beating - either from him or from you. Your dog has no idea what you want from him since you hit him without reason.
Your dog is not friendly or docile - it is nervous and scared. Scared and nervous dogs are dangerous because they will react from fear. That fear is what will one day make your dog attack someone without provocation. Your dog will never bite someone to protect you. It is far more likely to "snap" mentally and bite someone whom the dog views as an easy target to vent his fear on -which is usually a child. The killer instinct in the dog makes it able to assess the feeblest, the weakest and the least able to protect themselves. One move that the dog views as being threatening (usually the wave of an arm since that is the prelude to being hit) and your dog will do what he has to do to protect himself.
I have been involved with dog training all my life and I have never come across such a cock-eyed way of thinking. No wonder you're not keen on CGC - the way you treat your dog, you'd be found out and probably arrested and tried in court for animal abuse.
ANY dog has a natural instinct to want to guard and protect those who love them and that the dog loves back. Your dog may well prefer you dead since the way you treat him has nothing to do with love. Consider this - what incentive does your dog have to guard and protect you when you hit him for no reason? If you were dead, the beatings would end.
I had no thought before in favour or against CGC but after this unbelieveable insight into your insane thinking, I think it should introduced to every municipality. Furthermore, it should be included in the school syllabus in Malaysian school to teach Malaysian children what is the proper way to behave toward dogs and what is cruelty so that they can report people like you who clearly have no idea.
PSY, I started my participation in this thread because I though the other participants might have misunderstood you but I realise now I was mistaken - you have no idea what you're talking about. YOU need to attend a course on how to treat your dog.
