A good friend of mine believes that he could break up a fight between any dogs (including apbts) with his arm, he says you can just shove your arm in one of the dogs mouths and separate them, or you could just pry the dogs mouth open with your hands.He "knows" he can do this because he has taken things out of a dogs mouth that the dog didn't want to let go of,i told him that's just a good way to get bit and that the dogs are stronger than he thinks, he just says people are stronger than dogs, and his example proving this is that some people can lift cars.


he says that i over complicate things, and i make dogs seem stronger than they are.
there's no sense arguing i swear he thinks he's invincible..

what are your thoughts on this?
do you know of anything i can show him that could perhaps change his mind?

[Pdarasenko]

And when your friend calls you from the hospital and tells you how many stitches he got from sticking his arm in a dogs mouth during a fight; I hope it reminds you not to do this.

Didn't read the whole thing but that first part was enough for me. Your friend is Stupid.

[UltraSearchs]

Perhaps try explaining to him that the mindset of a dog in fight mode is just a weeee bit different than that of a dog who found a tasty looking sock on the ground?

Just let it happen. When he tries it, try to get pictures.

I know that the idea is stupid, have broken up many fights, and wouldn't even think about putting part of my body that close to a fighting dogs mouth,

The thing is he really isn't that stupid, i mean his thoughts on this are BEYOND stupid, but in general he isn't a stupid guy,which is probably why his thoughts on this erk me so much...it's so frustrating.
Like how can such a smart person have such a idiotic idea in his head and even a person who has broken up many fights, can't convince him it's not a good idea....
Perhaps if i get more replies i will show him this thread.

lmao, i actually am kinda hoping that one day he has to witness a fight, and if he tries, he'll learn his lesson...

[jerzeygymwolf]

I agree with Robyn. Just let it happen. Theres probably no convincing him so he'll have to learn the hard way.. and then you'll get a good laugh out of it lol.

Then When he calls you with a Maimed arm, tell him 'I tried to tell you man'. Otherwise gotta let him learn from his mistakes. He wont listen to reason. I've seen some smart people do some stupid things also. But arrogance leads to stupidity no matter originally how smart the person is.

Don't waste your time ... he sounds like an expert in this area
You can only learn ... or only you can learn ... something like that LOL
DO try and get pictures though

Hahahahaah hahahah. Lmao!! I like this advice

[Erwtbimp]

Yes, I would enjoy the pics.

[VoriEremiagem]

Screw the pictures, document the footage via video!

[somasideff]

Screw the pictures, document the footage via video!

AGREED! I WANNA SEE!

[costamarianavia]

A true friend would be there at the hospital with him to give him something to cheer him up while the docs try and reattach the nerves in his arm. Maybe a balloon that says " I told you so, dumbass" would be appropriate.

[Edwardthe_third]

Let em know to coat his arm in something the dogs would enjoy 1st......you know to get the attention off of the fight of course

[Afigenatjola]

What an idiot. I've broken up my fair share of fights, and I tell you what NO part of my body would go near a dogs mouth. The closest I am to the dogs head is just so I can grab the collar.

Some people, no matter how smart they are, just have no self-preservation. Trust me, my sisters and my mom are very, very book smart, but street smart? Hahaha, no.

Honestly, all you can do is try to get it into his head that even if he wants to stick his arm in there, there are better and faster ways.

[vaalmerruutel]

Sounds like a good way to get bit, my b/f did that a few months back because the younger two were under a desk fighting, I grabbed one dog around the waist and yanked her back out so I could grab her collar, he sticks his hands under the desk (into Nero's mouth), don't know if he was going for a collar or what he was thinking but lucky the dog didn't bite down, realized he had James and not Ripley's face. He's lucky, I wouldn't have risked that.

[siklop]

Everything has been said that needs to be said.

The person is a complete and total fucking retard who doesn't know jack about dogs.

[ZIZITOPER]

Show him a vid of dogs weight pulling thousands of pounds lol

My ex was the same way. Thought he would pull apart any 2 dogs fighting "they're just dogs"
I tried to explain to him bite sticks, and how pulling dogs apart is just asking to get bit. Ignorant people don't want to learn.

i have showed him, he says its easy because there are wheels on it, and that a person could do it too.
