Hey folks got a bit of a situation this morning.
Normally I feel pretty confident in my abilities to relate to my dog and train her appropriately. This morning, before I even woke up, she got my neighbors cat...its a mess.
It's so far past the incident now that disciplining would do no good, I'm taking measures to see that it doesn't happen again, dog run etc etc. I'm just worried shes already got it in her that it's done and was fun.
So I'm taking steps where shes doesn't have as much freedom, im just wondering if anyone else has a dog with bloodlust or if they now a good way to cure them of it.
Besides a bullet please =p
Thanks.

That's pretty horrible. I have a dog, but can't relate in this way... My dog (golden retriever) is the most harmless dog I've ever encountered. I've previously had boxers and a pit bull/german shepard mix and they were great non-agressive dogs but not in the way my dog now is. My dog literally wouldn't harm a fly, I've seen her play with bugs. She's carried bugs in her mouth very gently to be sure not to harm them...
I don't know what to say besides maybe contact a dog obedience expert, maybe there is one on the forums but I wouldn't count on it. I've heard it's a serious issue once a dog kills something like that for the reasons you stated... They think it's fun or whatever. I'm not sure if that's true but it would probably be best to seek a consultation with somebody that knows dog behaviour well.
