Greg_W Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Why not? The cragging season is upon us, someone must have a story or two to tell already. I, for one, find it amazing that a long-time climber would NOT have control of his dog. A dog at the crag is fine if it's friendly. However, if its owner doesn't maintain control of it, puts it in the care of others, or allows it to walk on other climbers' ropes and gear, then the dog is deserving of whatever discipline the offended climber feels is necessary. It's a shame really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's people who should know better and let their dogs run amok that piss me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoboy Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Story for you: Â My GF was at the crag one day, climbing with some other people, and there was a group next to them with a dog. Â After a little while, maybe 1/2 an hour or so, she walked by the dog and said hello to it... The dog (tied up) lunged at her and bit her. The owner noticed some sort of comotion and turned around. In a totally laisez-faire voice said "Oh! Did he bite you? He does that sometimes." Â :mistaht: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Dog shouldn't have been at the crag, IMO, or at least a warning should have been given to the people climbing nearby. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Actually you if want to teach a dog not to jump up on you, the best thing is to is when the dog jumps up grab a hold of it, a big bear hug, they freaking hate that. Usually once is enough, they might come back for a second time, but never seen a dog come back for thirds. When you push the dog he thinks your playing the way he wants to. So help keep coming at you if you keep pushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foraker Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I love dogs. I come from dog country....sled dog country. That said, it's only selfish irresponsible shitheads that don't train and control their animals, especially those that were bought for 'protection'.

foraker Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 The same goes for goobers who drive around in their pickup trucks with their dogs in the back...and they aren't tied down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I went skiing with a couple guys who brought their dogs Saturday afternoon. The dogs added a lot of humor and entertainment and seemed to enjoy the sunny afternoon as much as us. Made me want to get another dog, I didn't realize they were so adept at keeping up in deep snow.

needtoclimb Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I was at the crags last weekend next to a group of five climbers who had their trash spread across twenty feet of trail. I had to tiptoe through their stuff to avoid stepping on ropes, pro, and other stuff. No room to go around as one side was the crags and the other side was a cliff. People didn't say so much as a sorry. Â Hmmm, and to listen to people bitch about dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â they're great in the deep snow. i take mine for a walk in the snow a lot of mornings. the bound in and out of the deep stuff, hide in tree wells and chase each other, and all around make me laugh. they're even great for breaking trail in the fresh stuff. watch out though...they'll step on your tails and mess you up when you're skiing or snowshoeing. Â i wouldn't take mine to the crag though...they're ill behaved rogues and would bark endlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
