Yorkie on a motorcycle? - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

----Yorkiemom55, it sounds like it wasn't used properly and that's the results you get. What a shame. It makes a bad name for the collar when it should make a bad name for the person who strapped on the wrong collar for the wrong dog, or simply misused it. Sorry to hear about the little one.[/QUOTE]

When we got her she wouldn't bark or make any noise. If you try and pick her up or groom her she just becomes limp. Her groomer called her a "noodle dog". My sister knew the family that had her before me and they would zap her if she made any noise. When the collar didn't work any more they taped a 9v battery to a collar and would come at her with it to be submissive. They had 3 big dogs and her in a little house and didn't want her to be "yappy". It's been a long journey to get her where she is today.

That goes to show you that electronic collars should only be used in certain circumstances and only as long as needed. It's the number one collar to be abused in the canine community. And while I do feel it has it's place, it shouldn't be available to the general public imo.

That really is a shame and quite frankly pisses me off.

Poor girl.

That's hilarious.

I know this might sound lame, but I keep my ticket stubs when I take one of the little ones to the movies and they have a little album that I keep them in. One album per Yorkie.

OMG that does not sound lame at all! I wish I thought of doing that too!! I have a baby book for each of my girls

Truffles hasn't been to a movie yet, so I guess I could start saving the stubs starting now!

My brother had a collie mix several years ago that rode with him on his bike.....peddle bike......he is an avid rider....rides like 40-50 miles a day.....on the highway, on the mountains....wherever....he is moving very very fast....and this dog would sit on the back of his bike....all the time, with the wind blowing in his hair.. that dog was in heaven on the many trips.....till he died.......of natural causes....

I say "to each his own".....my philosophy is........if its your time to go...then a bike wont get you there any earlier or later than expected.......and that includes our little furbabies too.....

Hey, there, sweet pea!! Great to see you too! Nice story about your bro and his collie buddy! Thanks for sharing!!

That does sound like a cool idea!
