Tried to take him for a walk but because he associates the smell of smoke with fireworks he nipped me on the wrist as I tried to put the lead on his collar. Dimwit in the house behind keeps lighting fires/burning things.
My dog just bit me on the wrist

So you think that everyone else should cease doing things just because you have a mental dog?

OP is typical pig-headed dog owner blaming other people for the poor behaviour of their hound.
Good idea. Thanks. The dog is absolutely petrified of fireworks and has associated this memory to the smell of smoke . Unfortunately the guy at the house behind is burning things approximately four times a week in all kinds of weather until four in the morning, so we quite often get the smell of burning rubber creeping through the vents etc.

Surely you don't need to be told how strong a dogs sense of smell is right?
Ah ****
That was my stock "my dog....." forum post response. I've now read the OP and it's all about his dog smelling something so it almost looks like I was being serious instead of simply quoting a classic xmas cracker joke
Don't worry mate I got itAh ****

Phew!Don't worry mate I got it
I've been drinking so my judgement is off. Thought it could have been as embarrassing as the time I **** myself whilst trying to prove I could jump straight on to the roof of a car.
I assumed this was a Clarkson reference...
Like a smelly, smokey dog.
On the contrary, dogs are just dogs, they are driven by instinct, not thought or mentality. It's humans who are mental for wanting to own and become emotionally attached to animals, then trying to talk with them, etc.
Wut? Any animal when stressed will do what the op dog did.. It sounds like only a warning/stress nip, if it was anything dangerous the op would be in hospital.
