WitawatWatawit Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Someone told me it was because the dog glimpses its reflection in the water and thinks it's another dog, so it moves away in a defensive action. Kind of what happens when you glimpse yourself in the mirror upon waking up with a hangover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob13 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 First I've heard of it, Are you sure it's just water in the bottles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLCrab Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 The only thing that works against dogs is poison, looks like cat shit above? Maybe it is -- but the bottles were but there because of the dogs. However, all but one dog that used to use that area has been killed by cars and the remaining dog was obviously hit on one leg and can only limp so I'm gaining via attrition.

KhunBENQ Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 @JLCrab seems to hit the nail somehow (with his removed photo of some s... on a lying bottle ) A good theory is that the dogs will love the bottles to pee at them and not at the wall. Funny if you search the net. The tip exists for many years and the theories are disputed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topt Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Seems to work. 2 examples - GF stood bottles against tyres of car to stop dog peeing on the wheels. Several houses in the village had bottles on the steps outside the front gate as some dogs had been doing their business on the steps........ No idea why it works however.

Funny if you search the net. The tip exists for many years and the theories are disputed Well I have other photos where the dogs crapped right along side the bottles but I'm not going to post them. As I said nearly moot point as we live on a long rural straight-away with no speed bumps and most all the dogs are gone other than those that are kept full-time inside the gates.

cloghead Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 "Someone told me it was because the dog glimpses its reflection in the water and thinks it's another dog, so it moves away in a defensive action." That ^^^ could very well be true (I don't know)... But I've observed a strange occurrence (about once a week for the past two years) that has me perplexed: some dogs on my soi/road (Klong Son on KC) have half-liter/one liter plastic bottles, filled with a colorless liquid, tied around their necks. The dogs don't appear to be bothered by this at all. In fact, they seem to be in a hurry to get wherever they're going--totally unlike their usual lethargic behavior... I can't figure this situation out and when I asked my Thai neighbors about it they just laugh (in a good way)... So...can anyone explain this phenomena??? I'm thinking it's an underground smuggling operation using the innocent pooches to deliver illicit home-brew. If so, the plan is brilliant--who's gonna bust a dog carrying moonshine "Hey Spot, take this to Somchai's house and be quick. And don't screw around with your furry friends' and come straight back 'cause I've got more deliveries for you this morning"... I'm probably way off the mark on this but can anyone please tell me why these guys are walking around with these bottles??? NOT trolling--I'm serious...

weka Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I was in a Psych class at a University in the west (proper one) in the 90's and one of the professors conducted a valid and comprehensive study of this. It made for a good lesson for students on a bit of a "fun" topic and demonstrating effective hypothesis testing. Accredited research findings: Load of <deleted>, well I mean there was no correlation to water bottles and dog shit or lack thereof Good old human nature biases and how misinformation spreads I'd say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
