You can't really claim to have trained it if it still kills things. And you obviously get pleasure from it....hardly the sort of person that should own any animal.
Behaving in a threatening manner, as in agressive stance, voice, movements. Pretty much what you would consider threatening. In fact, as he is right now he is more mellow and controlled than half the "guard dogs" you see around in private ownerships.
And no, I don't get any pleasure from finding a dead cat in my yard. I feel... proud, that my dog is defending his territory from "intruders". It is hard not to be proud, to be honest. And as I said before, removing this particular training from him would entail too much negative reinforcement. You know the saying you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Well, that's pretty much bullsh*t. But an old dog unlearning old tricks? Nigh impossible.
Edit Dodobird:
S'allright. I've heard far worse before, from people who know all about Revan's history and training, and I can most certainly understand the sentiments.
