I am a big dog lover, but I am GLAD that he shot and killed them both. They will be very driven to come back if you just scare them away.
Sissy ass people here saying the dogs should've been handled in a nonlethal way.. Yes they are somebody's pets but they were failed by their OWNER. Not by this rancher. Accountability goes a long way
Good video, good commentary. I just kept thinking about how that guy was lucky/smart for having those cameras, because I'm sure shooting those dogs did not go over well with whoever owned them.
I know this is old, but I thought I'd leave something here. I have a pit. I didnt go looking for him. He was dumped in the street and he decided to come to me afterwards. Took him home and made some calls, but ended up keeping him. 2 yrs later and he thinks hes a big cat baby. Lays upside down in my lap a lot. Never shows any type of aggressive behavior. Loves people and getting loved on. It's all in the care and upbringing and training on how they turn out. We have several cats and 2 kids. He absolutely loves our youngest. That's his baby. Happy pup and we have never been more pleased with a dog. I think we both taught each other well. Lol
Unfortunately the dogs we're not going to stop and the horse's had the right to be protected by a gun. I go back to the behaviours of the horse's and I was so surprised by how the one horse stood so still while the other horse was running hell fire around in first part. Wondering if it was an older horse or what just seemed odd. Maybe he was trying to be not noticed? Did anyone else notice that?
I've said for many years. No such thing as a bad dog, just bad owners. The same can be said with horses.
This video reminds me of a QH mare I had. We got her because she was savagely attacked by dogs, she had terrible scars & due to the injuries inflicted on her when she was chased into a star picket. She had a lot of ribbons etc from previous owners, yet due to her scarring was no good for the show ring, they gave her to us.
Sure she had a few issues and she had it in for dogs. A guy came over once with his dog, told him to lock it up as it started to bark and chase my mare. I told him that she'll either hurt or kill the dog. He just laughed until his dog got a permanent sleep kick to the head, this happened so quickly.
I told him, he laughed and his dog paid for it.
Nicarey 71 wow... really sad story. I feel so bad for the dog.
Where was the owner of the dogs? Thank goodness the horses had their human there to take out the threat. I feel the blame sits squarely on the shoulders of the dogs’ owner; simply because the dogs were let loose to do whatever they wanted and were obviously a danger to the horses.
Before I even watch this video .. not that I really need to because I’ve literally seen every video that rick has ever posted (and I’m for real) ... I just think it’s funny that everyone wants to hate on him when they have no idea about his background as a police office, a K9 trainer and the many other things he’s done ... it’s just amazing to me how narrow minded the horse world is and how the majority would listen to someone that claims they know it all before they would even consider anything rick says ... it’s comical ... if you aren’t on board with what rick is saying then you have a lot to
Learn ...
That article even stated they attacked a woman and her dog while walking. Several senior citizens have been mauled to death/sent to hospital due to pit bull attacks in my area within the last few years.
Unfortunately it’s the peoples fault, whether they a) mistreated the dog and channeled it’s agression or b) didn’t train/socialize the dog and because of idiot humans dogs get a bad rap and people get hurt
so irresponsible to have dogs on unsecure land especially when theyre not well socialised with farm animals id be god damned livid if these were my horses
Yes. Thank you for what you said about Pitt bulls. It's not the dog. It's the people attracted to them. I'm so sick of people crying about Pitt bulls bans. It's for the dog. So it doesn't end up being abused, guarding a drug house or in a fight ring.
This guy did what he had to do to save his horses, this is the dog owner’s fault. Very sad.
We had a similar situation back when we owned horses. Had a nice sized pasture, and a pack of dogs still managed to chew the ear off a colt. It just burns me the way people allow aggressive dogs to roam.
I was walking my old goldenretviever yesterday. Then there was this not that big borzoi dog whose owner couldn't handle them. The dog gets free, runs up to my dog growling, my dog jumps up (he lays down when he sees another dog) and growls back and the other dog immidiately backs away. As soon as the dog stoped, i knew this dog wasn't trying to attack since they would have already been biting and they showed submissive behavior. There are differen reasons why dog attacks or does something agressive, like fear, frustration or seeking for example. I also think this dog did this because its part of their breed. What i love about my dog is that he won't bite if he isn't bitten and wouldn't given two fs about barkind or growling dog if they would be on the leash and not on his face.
A lot of people posting here are well-meaning, kind-hearted, loving pet owners who have probably never encountered the destructive potential of dog behavior when it gets out of control like this. When dogs "pack" and their prey drive is fully engaged, it's anything but "playful and cute".
When off-leash dogs charge at people (and other dogs), these owners NEVER take responsibility. Instead, you always hear: "It's okay, he's friendly!" or "He just wants to play!" (Translation: Sorry, nothing I can do, hope he doesn't bite you!) Which is why I stay out of dog parks.
I appreciate the horses' owner firing 1-2 warning shots to try to scare the dogs, in hopes of running them off without injury. But clearly, hunting instinct overrode fear of gunfire and the dogs kept at it.
In the US, a lot of people don't understand that when a dog bites a person, it's a statutory offense (automatic crime) on the part of the dog's owner. In some states it's still lawful to shoot a dog on sight if it's chasing a sheep, no questions asked. Wonder if such laws also apply to dogs chasing after horses.
These laws come from the past, and I used to think they were unjustified, but watching this video shows the victim's (the targeted animal's) side of the story.
We had family that had an issue with a neighbors dog coming onto their property and chasing their chickens. She called up the sheriff and asked them who had more right to live. The chicken that lived on their property or the dog who was invading their property and attacking the chickens. The sheriff told her that if it's her chicken on her property than the chicken had more right to live. So I know that here in Oklahoma if a dog attacks your animals on your property you do have the right to shoot it. Yes, it was generous of him to fire the warning shoots. Under the same circumstances we wouldn't have been that nice.
+sab ~ Where we live we can shoot anything on our property that is a threat without calling anyone. Shoot.. game is down... then call and place what we shot.
Feel so bad for the dogs. Wouldn't have happened if the dog owners were more responsible. I don't blame the guy for shooting them. I've always told people that I love animals and I don't want to hurt them but if it's a choice between my animal and somebody else's, I'm always going to protect my animal first. Also, thank you for speaking the truth about pitbulls Rick. Idiots are attracted to pitbulls and the dog pays. Makes me mad.
Rick, I am a dog trainer that focuses on dog behaviour modification, and it is very rare that I use food or praise when a dog correctly responds to my pressure (mostly psychological). The reward they respond to is my release of pressure (something I've been taught to use with horses AND dogs). This is what I rely on a lot, as a reward like a treat or praise is great when training for certain commands.
When I train a dog to give up its food or toy when I claim it, I don't "distract him" with anything like that, as that simply does not work when you don't have food, nor does it teach the dog to respect you as the top dog in the pack. You see this all the time with feral dogs and wolves; you will never see them using any praise or food to reward each other. If a higher-up dog wants a lower dog to do something, the lower dog either does it automatically, or gets a correction from the higher one. The reward is release. VERY much like horses
That guy did the right thing.
To tell ya the truth I think it's the dogs owners fault. If he knew they could go after the horses he shouldn't have left them loose or warne the horses owner.
Hello Rick, because so many horse people also own dogs it would be interesting to have you do some videos on horse and dog interaction. Such as what to do if stray dogs come around when you’re riding, how to teach your dog to behave around your horses etc.
Cause he didn't get him a Xmas gift XD I laughed so hard
truly a shame, this is why i believe that every owner should socialise their dogs with different kinds of animals, and if they know they don't know horses and would prey on them then keep them locked up. My dog went to the stables with me all the time, she learned her lesson and respect from the horses most of the time! Now she knows exactly what she can and can't do around horses!
I hate that people let their dogs get into situations like this. I have a pit bull that is a fully trained service dog that is amazing. She gets along with other dogs, horses and chickens, and LOVES people. But we we put a lot of work into her training and socialization beginning at 10 weeks old. They are what we humans make them.
They were bred to be an aggressive dog to have large mouths and a locking-on jaw and to be a fighting dog.
Carol V because pieces of cat vomits breed them and abuse them until they are mean; watch animal cops that's what always happens. You'd be a horrible person too if someone abused you for many years. Punish the deed not the breed
+Carol V ~ You heartless piece of shit... you know nothing.
+XxExidiousMontessori Rachel Ray has a pitbull that she clearly never abused and loves and takes care of. Her pitbull still has attacked several other animals and even ripped another dogs ear off. Pitbull Terriers were selectively bred to be animal aggressive. They have extremely high prey drive. It's no coincidence that dog fighters choose Pitbulls over any other breed. Just look up the breeding history of the APBT. And I'm not talking about shelter mutts that look like Pitbulls, I'm talking about the real APBT.
Mercedes any dog can be aggressive she clearly hadn't gotten it around other dogs. A Chihuahua is the top most aggressive dog
It's sad that pitbulls have a bad rap because of people wanting them for the wrong reason. But here I'm very happy that the horses are safe and didn't get hurt more than they did. And the owner did what he had to do, tough choice to make.
A pair of dogs, with aggressive tendencies, allowed to roam loose & unsupervised. Asking for trouble.
rick i'm 12 and you're literally my hero😂😂 "shut up ya big dummies" seriously needs to be on a shirt
Sad that the dogs had to pay for idiot owners that just let them run lose, 2 weeks ago in our county ,a women was killed by 4 dogs, they were attacking a women walking and the lady stopped to help the women, a pit bull mix and 3 other dogs mauled her to death, It’s terrible that animals have to suffer because people are irresponsible, I’m glad the horses were ok .
lyco mania Try and fight off a few dogs yourself and see what happens. It’s a lot different than you think.
I won't tolerate a dog chasing my horses, and I have proof of that.
One of these horses has since become lame (i found the orig. Vid) but, he is doing better with treatment. These dogs needed to die not because of there breed, but the owner had allowed the dogs to become feral.
Compendium Yo. Not the breed fault but owner's fault period
Kimberley Gager he/she said not bc of there breed! Not only that, the dogs were on the horse owners property and causing danger, so he in his own had a right to do so. I have also seen the original and the news video
I love how you describe what the horses think, you're helping me learn so much about the equine language, thankyou.
Such a pity the dogs paid because of their dummy irresponsible human. Glad the horses survived. Dad you're a good ole boy 😀 Buddy. . . Mr T. . . Dad & Mokie you are THE BEST 💙 💙 💙 💙
Your comment about pit bulls makes me like you even more, Rick. You can say the same about some horse breeds. Certain types of people attracted to certain breeds puts a bad reputation on high energy animals that they are too stupid to handle.
Pit bulls were bred to be more aggressive than some dogs. It is just who they are and what they do.
I'm not denying that. Some breeds have different temperaments and drives than others. They can still be great dogs for those who know how to train them properly.
I agree! My mother used to have a pit bull who was about the sweetest dog you’d ever meet. Unfortunately, he was stolen from her backyard, most likely to be fought. Adding on to what you said about horses, I used to have an Arab who wasn’t “hot tempered” or “unpredictable” or any of that crap people say about Arabs. It’s all about training.
Another GREAT lesson from Rick for us “stupid humans”
Several large dogs got away from the owner's place and packed up and wound up on a ranch in the county and killed a horse.
I would of reacted the same way no matter what breed the dog is ,I love Pitt bulls as long as they have the right owner there are no bad horses or bad dog's it's the stupid owner .Love ya buddy and Mr T and Mokie RICK you're awesome xx
This is the first time I've ever witnessed Rick praise human intervention.
I have several times on is the where wear the guy picked up the baby horse over the bridge railing to help it get to mama. :)
Any animal owner needs to make sure their animals are safe. These horses are not prepared to defend themselves. The dogs obviously knew the horses and came after them.
ex animal control from NZ, from my time investigating stock attack from wild roaming dog packs in rural northland, iv seen the danage, dozens of sheep torn apart from the bum and dying in agony , and the farmer feeling murderous or suicidal because some people can not control there pets. i witnessed and had to do some horrible things in that job from animals involved in motor accidents to attacks on people,it taught me a new perspective
That's awful. I got a cousin who rides horses with me who is an Animal control officer in my area.
I hate the owners of these putts bulls as i have one and i can take day old chicks, ducklings or kittens and because I raised her right she does nothing but try to mother them its the same way with kids other dogs and my horses. My moms not even 3 pound Chihuahua puts my Pitt on her back but u don't dare think u gonna walk up in the yard or my horses pen and hurt the other animals or any person in this house because Pitt bulls are very loyal, protective, and sweet by nature dogs butt when they figure out that you want them to do something and that's how they get ur attention and affectation they will do it and continue too which unfortunately for most pitt bulls is fighting. The people that owned these dogs needs to not be allowed to have a stuffed toy dog much less a pitt. If they were Pitt's most people just say there pitt bulls because Pitt's already have a bad rap for the way most people train them
I hope the owner of the dogs was penalized for letting the dogs run loose
Nope, chances are, if he's like some people, he'll just get more dogs and the cycle will continue.
I had an Aunt in East Texas that would kill any neighborhood dog she caught harassing her animals. The dogs head would then be stuck on one of the fence posts along her road so owner would know what happened to it. Rural area and nice pet dogs allowed to roam free would pack up with other area dogs then go around killing neighbors fowl. It was just always the way and if you were worried about your dog, well then you properly contained it.
I didn't know I needed these educational horse videos today, thanks!
Rick, I was so glad you did this video...(it’s your GF from MN!;)... nice job!!!😉. (Also, holy crap! Congrats on all those new subscribers!!!!)
Horse owner made the right decision
Glad he had a clear shot. Every direction I turn on my place there is an impediment.
tell me about it, my poor golf cart has taken a few for the team.
LOL
Man years ago, a friend of mine had dogs and horses on her property, so you'd think they'd be used to each other. But the dogs wound up killing a foal once. From then on in, the fencing was changed so the dogs couldn't get in the horses's area.
Please do a thinklikeadog channel! That would be wicked awesome!
Could you do a video on a situation where someone has horses and wants to bring a puppy into the family. Like what would be the best way of introducing them and raising the dog around them because dogs and horses are so vastly different. I dont have horses or anything but I think that would be an interesting topic
Thanks for this video rick! This brings me back to about 4 years ago when my mare and i were both attacked by two pit bull types. We were out having fun, just jumped a small fallen log and were just trotting. The only time this mare has ever bolted was with these dogs at her heels but the dogs were just as fast as she was. I decided to stop her and attempt to chase the dogs as that has worked in the past when being chased by dogs but this time it didn't work. These dogs were jumping up and biting my horse and my feet. I just loosened my rains and allowed her to defend herself. My job was just to stay on and keep the dogs from her hind end by steering her as i got the impression that if they latched on to her leg they could easily bring her down and we would both be dead. It took the owner to jump on the dogs to bring them back under control. I had never been so scared in my life and i've been in some pretty scary situations in my life! Luckily my mares injuries were only superficial but i ended up with psychological injuries from that incident. To this day i still have not been on a trail/bridle way because of fear that this could happen again. In the UK dog attacks on horses are far too common and with the brittish police and laws being as usefull as a chocolate teapot, nothing is ever done about these attacks!
In the UK, if a dog attacks a horse, nobody cares but if a dog bites a human, it's the dog who has to pay with it's life and the owner gets off scott free
Is there a leash law in UK? Responsible owners need to use it.
Carol V I'm not sure there is, i'll have to look it up. I think there may be one about keeping dogs under control in public places but if there is, it's not policed at all. Responsible owners in the UK are very hard to find. There are idiot owners who claim to be responsible but are the complete opposite. Police have far better things to do then issue out fines everytime they see a dog off lead especially since the constant government cuts mean there are barely any police on the street!
I know there are many states here that have a leash law. If a dog unleashed attacks your dogs or you, you can take them to court and sue for your damages.
Carol V i think you can do that over here but it costs a lot of money. Money i just couldn't afford
Wonder how ASP would have handled that.
Those horses didn't protect their asp. They need to be more aware in transitional spaces.
You're right, also, the horses need to take care of their spiritual fitness.
+Shane K bahahahahahaha!!!!!
Glad that horses are alright. Unfortunately it is sad that this dogs had to be shot because they were owned by a dumb human who did not put in the effort at trainingthem to save. Or training them not to do this.
I think let's say if the owner of the horses was not home.
I think eventually these horses would've killed or harmed these dogs themselves.
I don't think dogs are capable of killing horses this size horses aren't gonna sit there and just wait for that to happen
Horses will fight for their lives.
However they first are gonna want to flight before a fight.
Horses are easily capable of killing animals even the size of a cougar.
I've seen horses taking on cougars were the horses easily won.
One good kick or strike and it would've been over.
If the horses would've had more room this would've been a lot different.
This is why bigger pastures are so important.
I feel bad for the dogs too
That they had to pay the price for the owners fault..
rachael sunshine yeah, but these two horses look pretty thin. Not at thier prime. Here where I had lived in Canada. Dogs had killed horses depends on the scenario, but there are more then one there were in a pack. But horses in thier prime would have a better chance.
+Susan Gardiner It does happen you're right and l have read about some of these situations
most of the time this happens when horses are ill, too weak, to stand up for themselves.
A pack is difficult usually they'll try to grab a foal and pay extra close attention to the adults.
However a starving stomach would try to take the risk of taking on an adult for survival
But l'm sure these dogs knew that the horse was weak they'll take advantage of it.
They can smell it.
It's the hard truth.
But l think we both know what healthy horses are capable of doing for surviv too.
My late cousin had two big mules that he used for logging in areas where machinery was restricted.He got killed as a result of a logging accident .When these mules are ready to pull you have to be ready .My cousin fell on a tree stump and broke his ribs which killed him . His father was left with the task of finding a new home for these mules .He placed an ad and sold them to this woman. She had a rural place with a barn so she thought mules would be a great addition to her barnyard animal menagerie .For about a week she loved these mules then she would not make any more payments .These badass mules would not tolerate her two dogs .She feared for her dogs safety .The two rottweilers she had raised from puppies were peacefully coexisting with all the animals. The mules did not believe in coexistence with dogs so she wanted to return the mules. To complicate things my cousin had trained these mules to jump at state fairs so they could jump low fences.Mule jumping is different from horse jumping: czcams.com/video/qxREDmUSeGo/video.html I never found out what she did with the mules as my uncle passed away soon after this happened (about 15 years ago).
I was Litterally watching this yesterday and was hoping you would do a review!
F.f Star same here.
I think this could have been prevented
Yes, if the owner kept his dogs under his control; he was warned many times, but did not and it is a shame bc it could have been if he did.
the dogs were going after that one horse at first because it was giving them a reaction. when the dog went to the second horse who didn't really react, other than a simple threat, he went back to the other who did react. when the horse being bothered brought the commotion to the other horse it started reacting and became involved too.
i had a dog that whenever me or my mom came home, the dog would make a beeline for the same horse EVERY day and go kinda predator on him for about 5 minutes, barking, snarling, snapping, grabbing his tail, then just stop. the dog never bothered with the other horses cuz they did not get excited or really react, they would stand there and do nothing, or just suddenly kick him. no dancing or running around, no half assed attempts to kick, no fun for the dog. all the dog got out of fucking with the other horses was nothing or pain.
ironically, that dog got his leg mangled intercepting a pitbull that was going after that same horse that HE himself tried to bite daily. once his leg healed enough that he could kind of run, he was right back to trying to bite the horse for 5 minutes every day.
If you don't own a gun, what would you do in this kind of situation?
Also, per the original video, these dogs had a history of attacking other dogs and even an elderly lady and her dog. Yet no mention if the police had ever been called. Have to wonder why not?
boom, rake, chain saw, wasp spray
Thanks, Rick. I will get the wasp spray because this happened to my horse today but fortunately I came up on it and the dog ran away after my horse at already broken through the middle fence in a panic. Then I looked up your videos to see if I could find a video on it and I found this so I can't thank you enough now I know what to do when the dog shows up again which could be tomorrow! I'm new at this so it was really quite traumatizing but I think I handled it really well using the tricks I've already learned from you I mean the advice whoops sorry.
Electric fence vs barbed wire fence? What is the best and why? Here in Sweden, barbed wire fences are forbidden to use around horses due too the risk of injuries but I see on your videos that you use barbed wire so I would like to know your opinion.
The barbed wire was there when he bought the place. Barbed wire is the worst fence for horses! If you've ever seen a horse hung up in barbed wire and cut to pieces, it would be obvious.
As mother stated the fence was already there when he bought the place. Plus, good horse fencing can get very expensive, barb wires cheap. Another thing some of that fencing on his property may not be his. It might actually belong to one of the neighbors.
Maybe I didn't express myself well. English isn't my native language. It wasn't meant as an accusation against Ricks fences. I am just curious about what Rick think about the different types of fences. I am here to try and learn a thing or two. :)
Always have a good laugh watching
My first thought when I saw the cop car and the horse owner walking towards the cops that the cops were going to arrest him for shooting the dogs! Hopefully the officers agreed the man was in the right to shoot the dogs to protect his horses.
I find myself agreeing with you in most videos...lol
The rule my brother in law said should apply to owning horses...is 5 acres for every horse you have....we had 3 horses on 15 acres and still had to feed them hay in winter due to lack of feed..I support this guy shooting the dogs ...who knows what would’ve happened if they continued..we had a calf killed by dogs and it was horrible...the dogs owner did apologise and offered compensation ...he ended up getting rid of dogs cause he had young kids..once they get blood they can’t be trusted
I just laugh an laugh when, you do these videos. People are truely very stupid these days like Arcgie Bunkers son in law Mike/ Meathead, too funny !
sadly the owners of the dogs are at fault for not doing the right thing with confining their dogs to the yard and socializing and teaching them to be used to other animals etc. although the dogs are doing what they naturally do and that's to chase and attack to kill - well some of them, like these two dogs in the video. I agree to be honest that the horses owner did the right thing by shooting the dogs dead because they will continue to hunt down and kill horses etc. sad though that they also got hurt but they shouldn't have been there.
for sure they cant because of their drive to hunt.
Glad you did this video, I was gonna recommend it.
I hate irresponsible dog owner who don't train their dogs and don't keep them in. This time it was a horse if the guy didn't put those poor dogs down the next time it could have been a child. Poor dogs deserve better owners
Instead of o tire maybe put some food up. I was a dogtrainer. This is dog agression. Pack mentality. Not playing
I'm glad comments were added on the Pitbull they do have an aggressive nature. But it's humans that ruin nature usually. Grew up with a pitbull he was the best dog we ever had.
Marti Zimmerman they dont have an aggressive nature, they do have a great perseverance, if you can't control that they will become aggressive because they can't let all there energie out. ;)
Eline Steketee well I said that about being aggressive because as lovable as our Pitbull was he did go after another dog and I had to tear him away from that other dog. He didn't hurt me at all though so I have to commend him for that.
They do generally have a fairly agressive nature but to be honest getting them socialized quickly is a very easy and strait forward way to avoid that
Lou Equestrian chihuahua's are the top aggressive dogs
XxExidiousMontessori i know, pitbulls are very low on the agression list
Those poor horses. I don't like having to kill the dogs but they didn't seem to care about anything but attacking the horses. I was trying to tell if they had halters on. Not good if they got them hung up on fencing trying to get away from the dogs.
We have a Choc Lab/Pit male that is 8-9 yrs old. We found him running out in the country by Whitewright, TX during the bad snowstorm in Feb 2010. He loves people. About two years ago, after spaying our female dogs, Buddy decided he didn't like the Doberman/Irish Wolfhound male, Chompers, anymore. He jumped over me and attacked him. Now we play musical dogs. We think he was fighting for my attention. He loves the girls but not our other male. Someone said Pits start acting that way around 8 yrs old and we better be careful. Since we found him, we don't know his upbringing. Any loud voices, he'll go hide or run to me for protection so a man must have used some force in his training. The males have been zeutered about a year ago but that only decreases their testosterone by 50%. Might have to neuter them if their behavior doesn't improve. They got into a fight again a few weeks ago. Keeping them separated is a royal pain! Not sure obedience training would work. Will look into it!
Glad the horses weren't hurt enough to be put down. Going to watch the original video. Thanks for sharing this one. Have a Merry Christmas!!
Those poor horses! That was awful to watch them being terrorized by the dogs. I kept hoping one of them would kick the crap out of those dogs to teach 'em a lesson!!
Yeah I do just wish the horses kicked really hard so they would run away :(
Horse Horse Teaching an animal a lesson equals "terrorization" to you?! How many of Rick's other videos have you watched - zero?
You think being shot and killed is a BETTER outcome for these dogs than just being kicked by a horse?!
Just Me Oh! I thought he/she said that he/she wanted to kick the crap out of the dogs, not the horses... I am sorry, I just read wrong. And I am going to delete my last comment because it now doesn't make any sense...
But I wonder what you meant with how many of his videos I have watched. I have watched MANY, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with him, like for example, I don't think bits are painful, but lets not get in to that argument....
Horse Horse Rick frequently uses the phrase, "teach 'em a lesson," as do many other people. That was what I echoed -- that the horses needed to "introduce the dogs to their business end." And you came back with those LAME comments - accusing me of advocating terrorization of the dogs -- which you have since DELETED.
Just Me Yes, I deleted it. Did you even read my last comment? But anyway, I am done with this converation.
You are right.My younger dog cases pigeons😂The older dog never loved to case but loves to run with you.
Poor things. More than likely it could've been avoided if the horses actually had a place to run instead of being cornered pretty much, and if the dogs were actually brought up and trained properly and at least kept under control. Bad owners make bad dogs.
and "stupid humans" should be on a shirt as well:))
I don't mean to make u upset Rick but I feel bad for the horses. :(
Think like a dog! Yes please, please! :D
Thank you Rick I have two pitbulls and they are as sweet as can be the owner should have suffered for not keeping his dogs need the yard like horses the pays for humans ignorance
If you look at the video when the guy walks out with his gun you can see the dog stop chasing the horses and turn themselves towards the guy with the gun and you are correct if you give a dog a shoe to play with and chew on what do you think is going to happen with your regular shoes that you don't want your dog to chew on they don't know the difference so if you teach it the horse how to jump of course they're going to jump the fence and you are correct on that people are ignorant and there is no excuse for ignorancy I love your videos I love your comments because they're all true
Just the other day when I rode on the beach I had 2 dogs running full blast over to me and my cousin riding. GOOD thing the dogs finally right up until they got on us listened to there owner yelling for them.
Those moments are scary since you can't know what the dogs are going to do when they are running to you at full speed. Are they just trying to chase you away, attack or just say hi? You never know until it happens.
I've had dogs do that to me many times on walks on the beach and around my neighborhood. Very scary. People need to keep their dogs on leash!
you have very good point about idiots teaching horses to jump fences, then idiots complain because of what they taught the horse to do.... why teach them bad skills?? its all strange to me.
Good thing the owner showed up when he did or I don't think those horses would have won. I love dogs but if I see one trying to go after my horses I'll take it out PDQ
Hi, Rick I am going to watch the video now 😄
Cupcakes gets a Gold Star. I doubt you give out pink ribbons, just a guess.
This seems like a situation that happened to my father's herd of horses last year in the summer time. He owns a large sum of land which occupies both herd animals and predators. It was late at night and the chickens were coming in to roost, we heard some unusual noises and realized the coyotes had made their way into the inner circle. Took us 10mins to get out there to them and by the time we did the three coyotes we found had been trampled to death. They never bothered the chickens before in the years and the horses never stayed that close to the inner circle since they have Acres to roam.
Good horsies! And lucky chickens, too!
I just watched this video yesterday!
ME TO! haha I requested Rick to review this video. Not sure if he had others asking to but I asked yesterday.
YES, DO THINK LIKE A DOG, PLEASE !!!
I would have come out gun in hand when I heard the commotion from the start, just watch to see what the dogs were going to do. But as soon as the first dog went in and bit my horse it would have been a dead dog. Good horse owner, as for the dogs the owner should be charges with having vicious dogs and be made to pay for the vet care of the horses. The dog owner is responsible for what their dogs do, if they want to keep their dogs then they need to make damn sure they have control of the dogs. But because of a bad dog owner the dogs had to pay the price. I don't feel sorry for the dogs or the dog owner. Then horses are worth so much more than the dogs are. They are both companion animals amd livestock amd the owners have every right to protect them even if it means killing the dogs, had they been coyotes or wolves the ending would have been the same.
Susan Bower what I mean is the horse is worth money wise than the dogs. They dogs were probably either free or the owner bred them. Whereas the horses are worth (depending on breed, and what they are used for) anywhere from a few hundred to thousands. Not worth as in how much you love them.
Personally I'd chose horses and cats over a dog any day.
This happened to my horses today and I showed up in the nick of time.
Probably a really dumb question, but male horses protect their mares, don't they? If it was a mare under attack like this, would the stallion defend the mare?
a stallion will normally take care of any threats, geldings not so much but some do
Think Like A Horse Ohhh okay. Thank you for responding to me, Rick! Definitely glad to become more educated on the matter.
I dont know if they actually do, but natural selection would dictate a stallion protect the mares because they are his link to continuing his genetic line.
I always thought the way horses are looking each a different way, it was to protect their ‘herd’, yet the one horse stays uninvolved until his pal sidles up next to him. Would Mr. T not help Buddy either.....even tho he seems very protective of him when Buddy sleeps.
I think MR. T would get rid of the threat, whether protecting Buddy or not.
Big problem here - This is all mother nature stuff but too often now, with lots of city-folks encroaching into rural areas, it gets out of hand where we used to handle it so this stuff didn't happen much. First off, the dogs have to be raised/trained/conditioned not to do the livestock like this, whether it's in their own territory or off campus. The only time the dog gets to act like this is when something or some animal is actually encroaching and threatening - or if that's actually the dog's job, as in herding/driving - there's a difference. Some dogs just never learn and, unfortunately, we had a 3-strikes rule when it came to f-ing around with the livestock and/or biting a human unwarranted. Third strike was a swift and humane ending of the dog's life. The reality is that a certain segment of the canine population on any ranch - just like a certain segment of everything - ends up getting culled for the better good of the outfit overall. I put my last Doberman down when he attacked a human unprovoked - and he was never trained or conditioned for that work - he just couldn't be trusted, so he had to go - I cried for days.
Owned a Pit and she was an absolute PUNK! The only thing she would stand up to were cats and that I believe is only because there was a huge stray tomcat that used to kick her tail over the food. Our Pit was the most loving sweet thing. No crop or dock and most didn't even realize she was a Pit Bull. Her mom on the other hand was MEAN, aggressive because the owner was a PRICK! Made her mean, beat her, teased her etc. There is nothing wrong with the Pit breed. I have known others with Pit's whose dogs were just like mine, PUNKS =p Lap dogs, couch potato, popcorn eating "Hey let's snuggle" dogs. If it isn't Pit's it's Rotties, not Rottie's, it Doberman's. Not bad dogs only bad people.
If I remember correctly pit bulls use to be called nanny dogs and the dog in the Our Gang comedies was a pit. I've met a few pits and they were very calm and friendly. There was a good show on BBC about dogs and one of the "experts" stated that pits, terriers, doberman's and alike are very good dogs, but need training focused on socialization due to being in the terrier family. I'm thinking socialization is key to the success for any animal and or human.
i met a pit bull once on a walk and my dog which is goldenretviever, was first to show agressive behavior towards them which was also first time my dog did that. Poor guy was just walking past with their owner when my dog just starts barking, growling and pulling to them which he was not able to.
indie825 The most vicious dog I have ever come across was a 5 lb Chihuahua. That little *@&#^ would bite the crap out of anyone that came to near it because its STUPID owner did not socialize her and did not bother to train her in any manner because the little Chi was "so cute and tiny". All dogs must be socialized period (unless the dog has a profession such as law enforcement).
DK Dempcey Knight DK I agree, yet disagree. I always tell people that Pits should be the American dog, especially with children as they can take all of the tail pulling, paws stepped on, etc that children do. I will disagree though that all are as you describe. Some are taught to fight, but it is also bred into them. They are docile and friendly until they hit maturity. At that point, a switch flips and they are "turned on" - it never goes off. One of my favorite dogs was one that I rescued, bottle fed, socialized seven ways to Sunday. He grew up with numerous other pets. At almost 2yrs old, the switch turned on - no active event. He just suddenly started attacking all of my other pets. I saw the early signs and tried correction and intervention. Vet check, etc all normal. He killed one of my cats, and two of my other dogs - all of which he had grown up with. It was heartbreaking. I never blamed him - it was bred into him. Yes, Pits are great, but watch for the signs.
Lisa Zappolo I agree with you about watching for signs and am so sorry to hear several of your other pets were killed. I'm assuming the dog was neutered and the aggressive behavior still manifested. That would be good to know that neutering isn't necessarily a silver bullet to prevent all aggressive behavior.
really interesting video, I'm surprised that those dogs can take kicks from a horse and not get hurt enough to stop attacking. Especially at 9:26 when the horse connected twice. just goes to show size isn't everything in the animal kingdom. Thanks for the video.
I knew you would like to review this video. When I seen it I thought of you right away. I knew you'd be able to pick this apart and show us what's going on here. Thanks! I thought the same thing as you stated. Looks like in the very beginning the dogs wanted to play but turned violent. These 2 horses do look a bit thin for sure.
It makes me sad of what greedy people are doing to these dogs. Pitbulls were originally bred to be nanny dogs, dogs that protect the owners children and property. Now it has the bad reputation of being a fighting dog...
That's actually a myth, they were never bred to be "nanny dogs". That myth came from the fact that Pitbulls are supposed to be human friendly. The actual purpose they were bred for is just in their name alone. Animal aggression is a selective bred trait in Pitbulls. It's in their long history of breeding.
The Nanny dog myth started in the 1970s when a Staffordshire Bull Terrier breeder referred to his breed as "nursemaid dogs". American Pit Bull Terriers were bull and terrier crosses original bred to fight in the pits.
Nope, sorry, the "nanny dog" story is a MYTH. Pit bulls have ALWAYS been fighting dogs; that is the sole reason they were created in the first place.
thetruthaboutpitbulls.blogspot.ca/2010/08/nanny-dog-myth-revealed.html
TheWhiteWolf they were originally bred to fight but they are very protective and persistent, that’s where most, if not all, of the "agression" comes from
+tyrroo Exactly. People are so gullible lol. Why would a dog be called a "PIT BULL" if it was bred to nanny children 😂 you can learn a lot about a breed just simply by their breed name.
Thanks for telling at the beginning that the dogs are getting killed, I'm a big wuss about animals so when I know I din't watch. 😦
I saw the dog turn towards him and I also saw another dog take off after he shit
Grew up with pits. Best dogs ever. All they care about are pleasing their owners that’s why they fight. Picked up a pit used as a bait dog last year. Sweetest calmest dog ever. Got along with humans cats and even a rabbit. Use to be fear aggressive towards other dogs but with time patience and training she came around. I’m a dog groomer and she now goes to work with me everyday and loves all the attention from our human and canine customers. Along with her chihuahua brother I also rescued. They make a cute weird pair to stair at when they go on their walks.
Skylar Foust. This was different and the guy did miss first shot and dogs kept coming. I love all DOGS but he had no choice DOGS or horses.???
@Storm Mist Owners of dogs were at fault. The guy had no choice but to protect the horses
Rick, how would Buddy and Mr. T react in a situation like this? Would Mr. T react differently than these horses because he was raised in the wild?
John Coffelt. Not talking for Rick but he did say the horses in the video were trapped in small pin and Ricks horses are not.
I bet mt.t would have done swift justice.
Carol V.Big smile.
I feel bad for the dogs. They are just doing what dogs do. I hope the owner of the dogs got at least a ticket.
Kidding me the dogs should be trained they should not be going.
Michelle Scheer there's a news story on this(USA) something happened with the dogs that lead to this situation, but definitely not a good. Pretty sure, it's there neighbours dogs, Dogs shouldn't just run and attack(unless it's play obviously)
Hey Rick- What's your favorite breed of dog?
Their field is way too small for one horse let alone two. I'm not saying it's okay to have one horse only
For some reason l cannot get my youtube profile picture changed
I just want you to know we use rope halters now before making this comment
I think the owner of these dogs did a bad job with training his dogs.
The fact that there's a camera there tells me it's not the first time this has happened
I was however surprised the horses didn't fully strike or kick those dogs.
Horses aren't vicious animals.
But l think the dogs were ignorant for attacking these horses
Usually dogs won't go try to attack big horses because they know one kick or strike and it's done
I've seen horses taking on cougars (mountain lions)
Horses sure are capable of killing animals big and smaller sizes
The horses need more room to run
But after flight there's comes fight and l think eventually these horses would've killed these dogs themselves let's say if their owner wasn't home
But this shows that horses rather flight than fight
Poor horses and poor dogs if the owner trained them right this wouldn't have happened
when you change your pic it takes up to 24 hrs to show
+Think Like A Horse Thank you Rick, l will retry it again.
Last time it didn't let me click to gallery maybe l would have to remake my account.
I wouldn't mind doing so it would feel like a fresh start.
I'm so happy l found your channel.
Learned so much about horses
Greetings from us and our mare!
My family and l wish you and your animals a great day!
Thank you for giving a heads up that the dogs end up getting shot, it gave me a chance to skip out early.
Dogs are the same like horses; here is never a bad dog born, only bad and unresponsible owners.
