4am? What do you getvup at that time for everyday? Not just to walk the dog surely?

 

lol ok not every day. 5 days a week
I start work at 6.30am, so get up at 4ish, go for a run with the dog, lift some weights and then go to work.
I just find it hard to get motivated for exercise after work so do it beforehand.

 

And I am disagreeing with you - in my experience the RSPCA do not check 'every' report. They will if there is clear demonstration of mistreatment and what is described does not really constitute clear evidence of mistreatment. They may advise you and they may check it out - but there is no compunction for them to do so.

There are plenty of dogs that live outside (our neighbour's dogs do for example) and may be kennelled all day. Lots of working dogs are. What is nice for a pet may be completely different for someone else. Whilst this may not be a working dog - you can't really differentiate in terms of animal husbandry.

A dog lover may abhor that a pet owner leaves their dog to get bored, but it is not an RSPCA intervention.

 

The best thing to do is simply call the RSPCA and talk to them about your concerns and the situation as you see it

 

that's fine you disagree all you like, we could do a little test, you give me you give me your full address, i ring the rspca and say,

"I have heard them with the dog, i do not think they are hurting him but training him and it all sounds very aggressive - not a brilliant term maybe, but the dog yelps and whines a lot when they are with him/her"

and count the hours it takes for them to come round.

 

Not if that was you holding that fish!
