As far as driving, get the biggest vehicle you can, and then everything is easy:-)))) Been there done that. The bigger the better, I have always wanted to drive an 18 wheeler, everything will get out of your way with one of those coming up behind them. I digress.<br />
In some respects it would be good to make sure that people would be able to actually understand what dogs need, for their everyday existence, little things like....food, water, exercise, and clean conditions..... and love, some people…

Isn't there a nice long narrow road leading to your house? You could practise reversing up to the house daily from the main road and I'm sure in no time at all you'd have that weak spot under control. Same procedure as in dog training. Sorry, quite off topic:-))

But that is actually how we deal with driving-licences now!<br />
And there is so much more damage that can be done with a car.<br />
<br />
Regarding my personal driving...I have this weak spot when it comes to reversing:-)<br />
So coming straight AT you, dont worry...its the other end of my car that may be a problem!

I'm not sure, Ursula... just because you had a dog 30 years ago, does that mean you know all now? Like getting a driving licence and then not driving for 20 years... I'm not sure I'd like to meet you on the roads (not meaning YOU personally:-))

i still think that those who care about their dogs and assure a kind of normal and active life to their dogs, will also do the necessary "training". but it is not them needing it, but all the rest... on the other hand, i met quite many dog owners who think they are on the top regarding their dog knowledge... but NOT... not saying i know everything but definately more then most of them...

Interesting spelling of my name...makes me even MORE un-usual :-)<br />
<br />
Would it not make more sense to take a driving-licence once and for all? After all we dont need new lessons for every new car we buy, do we?

I will!<br />
Your questions are quite valid... and no answers yet!<br />
Unfortunately these rules all originate in the deadly attack of a child by unsocialised Pitbulls imported by an Italian who thought he could sell them in certain circles. Illegal then, illegal now - and the new rules won't help avoid that kind of thing!<br />
<br />
And as usual the 'normal' pet owner must suffer... even the not so normal like you, Usrula;-)))

Wow...that was certainly a set of rules that will take some administration! I can (almost) see how this can be done with pure-bred dogs where you may have to send something back to (for instance) a kennelclub, showing your buyers are qualified.<br />
But how about cross-bred dogs?<br />
<br />
Plenty of breeders out there that breed dogs without pedigrees and therefore dont follow rules that we perhaps have to obide by.<br />

<br />
I must say that I would personally be somewhat pissed off if I had to go to 4 training-lessons with a new puppy, considering all the dogs I have had. I find it amazing that there could be a rule like that.<br />
<br />
But if it helps people to become better owners/breeders, perhaps this is what is needed.<br />
<br />
Although I wonder how these rules can be made to work...what happens if the new owner never goes to a class? Who will round up all the dogs where the owners have not followed the rules? And what will happen to them?<br />
Interesting!<br />
