So are the Thais responsible for the dogs becoming feral and multiplying.

 

Yes.

Inappropriate use of the word.

 

The chap was acting out of kindness, so he didn't deserve it, as you state.

I think it was an extremely foolish idea in the first place. So that's the reason.

 

You made a decision you were woefully unprepared for. Also I hate thai soi dogs yes. They are dirty disgusting disease spreading problems. 

Tong Dang too?

I've adopted well over 20 dogs over the past 20 years. I have 12 right now. I don't regret adopting any of them. 

[Wuvu2]

Isarn BBQ would be a delicious solution 🙄

[fredge45]

Took your tea cup!  Maybe you should be a bit proactive and keep such items out of reach as well as availability?

 

Vaccinations for both dogs as well as neutering is the best route to take to care for these who have adopted you.  Best dogs I have ever had came along and adopted me.  I'm always amazed how many fools post with hate statements,  It's you folk... not the dogs.

That's part of why I adopted all of the dogs. My neighbors are now so intimidated that they have ceased yapping all night. 

Actually, I live up in the mountains in northeastern Thailand on about ten rai of land and don't have any neighbors who live close enough to me to be bothered by my dogs. Also, all the people up here have dogs, and many of them have several dogs, so my having so many is not a problem for any of them.

Your comment indicates to me about your personality traits. No need for me to mention this apart from the fact I can only assume you are an old grumpy man with no friends and no love in your life. How accurate does that sound?

 

 

It's always amazing here on AN. People try to top the others with insults and offends. It's apparently a competition who's best. Congrats. Go on. It will make my day. 😂😂😂

I sometimes get "locals" leave a  dog outside my gate, I ignore it if that fails I dump it at the temple. Pity they cant keep their rubbish for a bin instead of dumping it like their local dogs, stuff strewn everywhere.

So you're declaring that you are definitely not part of the solution but rather part of the problem?

Over a month ago 2 dogs arrived at our land. They seemed friendly and I fed them once and then started everyday. My child liked them a lot. After a week or so we asked the village head to try to find the original owners- to no avail. We started to let them sleep inside our yard and one of them turned out to be a good guard dog. Also they caught and killed a snake last week. 

 

The negative thing is that one of them is younger and a little bugger bc he chews everything in site. So many ripped up things eg: Shoes, tools, 2 chairs, my work shirt. The young one even started drinking out of my tea cup and the next day jumped up on my stone table and took the cup to the yard and broke it. Anything he can find eg pipes all ends up in the back yard. 

 

I started putting everything in plastic boxes but it was always something. Im not there all the time and come back and find something ripped up in the yard. 

 

Yesterday I was really pissed as they chewed up and pulled out 5 trees that I had planted. I hit the roof and put them outside the gate. They sleep in another area of the land where I had new bags of soil. This morning I saw they had ripped open the plastic bags and soil everywhere.

 

Now I dont know what to do. I think if I was to sterilize the older one he would be ok. He is the guard dog as well. The younger one is useless and immature. I dont know if I can ever trust him inside our yard again

 

2 weeks ago when walking them a guy stops on his motorcycle and the dogs were so happy to see him. He was the previous owner I think. My thai skills are a bit average but I think I kind of know the direction where he lives in our semi rural area. He didnt want to take the dogs back. I suspect he'd had enough of them as well for reasons stated above. 

 

Its a bit heartless to take one of them back up to the area where the original owner is and keep the older one. They should not be separated. They chase each other around and enjoy each others company so much. 

 

I dont know what to do about the actually. The younger one is a real little <deleted>. My child is attached to the older one now. I will be the bad dad if I get rid of them. 

A young dog, just like a young child need to be taught what is right and wrong.

As you adopted them, that is your task. Read some information on the internet if you don't know how to do it.

Yes! And that's part of the wonderful aspects of living in the jungle-covered mountains!

Always had dogs at home. Adopted soi dogs will show devotion and gratitude until death. Never been disappointed by one of them. You just need to take care of them as any other family’s member.

[brfsa2]

I've also gotten two street dogs, got them babies, 90% of the time on the cage. Release twice a day for an hour or two. They're happy dogs. No problems.

Boarding kennels owners in the UK receive a lot of business from working people whose dogs have eaten their expensive kitchen cupboards. They lock them in the kitchen when they go to work and return to find all their fittings demolished by the bored dogs. The owners who have to continue working, put them into kennels while they decide what to do with the animals. Owning a dog can be an expensive and time-consuming business, especially if you have more than one. The best decision I ever made was when I split with my dog loving wife and became an ex-dog owner.

Drive them 25 km away and drop them off at the temple

You adopt children not stinking soi dogs. Soi dogs don't need empathy and compassion, they need putting down.

Dogs like to chew and you must give them something to chew on. In our case the wooden bone (ordered from Lazada) did the trick. At the same time you have to try to teach the dog not to chew other items. There are lots of videos on Youtube how to teach the behavior of dogs. It takes some time and patience however. Or dog is sterilized.

 

Limit the dog's space while training.

 

Get a bar of plain soap. Something like Ivory.

 

Rub the soap on things you don't want chewed. The dog will avoid them.

 

Provide other soap-free things for the dog to chew on.

Thanks for your comment. So they will grow out of it if I do this? Did you get them sterilized/ de-sexed? I think this might help as well?

A puppy crawled under my front gate and entered my property June 5th 3 years ago. She was covered with fleas and dirty and nearly starving to death. The vet said she was 2 to 3 weeks old at the time.

 

I washed her and took her to the vet and had her spayed a fewmonths later and she's been with us ever since.  It's a real joy and a great addition to our lives.

 

Yes? She will grow out of it. Puppies don't really grow a brain until they're about 2 years old. Until then it's a problem to keep up with them. It's all part of the joy of owning a dog.

 

I guess if you can't take the heat then get out of the kitchen.
