Conclusion<\/strong>
\nApril 27th 2007<\/em><\/p>\n

It has been many weeks and I have had many battles with Female-that-Walks-Dogs<\/em>. <\/p>\n

I am definitely wearing her down.<\/em> <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\"The
The Dog Walker Saga - Part 3<\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>\n

Today, I tried the screaming maneuver in front of my house. Den-Female<\/em> seemed a bit worried. I sensed that she was thinking of not letting me go. But then Female-that-Walks-Dogs<\/em> picked me up and loaded me into the moving den. <\/p>\n

Onto the battlefield!<\/strong><\/p>\n

When we reached the wooded area, I went through my usual repertoire of ninja moves. I could tell that she<\/em> was losing her cool. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n

But wait … what is this device?!<\/em> Suddenly she put this metal chain around my neck. It was very painful when she snapped this *new* metal collar<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I decided to play it cool and again lull her into a false sense of security, but she did not take it off. I suppose 2-legs are not always stupid. Worse, Female-that-Walks-Dogs<\/em> did not take me home but made me stay with her all day. Then she took me to *her* den. <\/p>\n

\n

Is this to be my new life?! <\/p>\n

NOOOOooooooo. Save me Shiba Gods!!\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"Save
Save me Shiba Gods!! <\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Luckily, after a bit, Female-that-Walks-Dogs<\/em> took me back to *my* den. After this horrible day, I never had to go with her<\/em> again. <\/p>\n

Whenever I saw her in my neighborhood I made sure to let her know that I wanted her gone! <\/p>\n

The Gods must have answered my prayer. The Shiba Gods are powerful!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nShiba Wisdom<\/strong><\/p>\n

Note from Den-Female:<\/u>
\nProlonged use of choke chains can injure your dog. <\/a> This is especially true for Shibas because they have short tracheas. Calling a choke chain a *humane* choke chain does not change its nature, or its risks.<\/p>\n

I stopped dog walking sessions because I did not want the walker to use a choke chain on my Shiba. In addition, his behavior was getting worse because he was practicing bad behaviors<\/a> during his walks and the walker was not able to effectively control him without the choke chain and muzzle.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
