Just tell him that you ain't paying any hospital bill or compo when the dog goes to town on him, and it will happen ... will serve him right

Problem is, the dogs are both adolescents and seem to enjoy the attention. I don't think they realise yet what its all about.
My gardener has without doubt complete integrity. There's nothing funny going on. I 100% trust him with my young daughter when I'm away at work. That's a given.
I just wish he would stop playing with my dog's tackle.
You shouldn't have to tell someone to stop flicking your puppies testicles.
I've had the all the young Thai males from the family holding my hands, etc etc and appreciate that cultural stuff. But is it normal for someone to molest your puppies?
Fuck the dogs, i'd be more worried about my kids. Sack the wrongun.
Thais don't get pet ownership generally and don't know how to behave toward them, dogs especially in the family environment. Its really going to be for you to have a proper word with him and explain that what he's doing is wrong and could possible get him bitten and what's more if the dog gets wary of people it could have consequences for your family God forbid - i'd stamp on it and would have right from the start good gardener or not.
Ive never seen it but ive heard some Thais touch kids genitals, its a bit like doing that 'mun kee yow' thing where they grab a kids cheeks but with genitalia instead.
Im sure someone will back me up on this. Where's Prag?
Some stranger touched my kids bits they'd lose the ability to touch and be drinking through a straw for quite a long time to come and fuk thh consequences
Yes, noted and a proper word tomorrow, thanks.
One thing, he is more than a gardener and I have absolute trust in him where my daughter is concerned. She is my life and that trust has been well earned.
I'm thinking this is a cultural thing about boundaries but even so it has to be nipped in the bud.
Mandip I get it, but its difficult to read Dogs sometimes and you really don't know their parentage so some trigger like some twat flicking its nuts could flick a switch and get the Dog nasty and that won't confine its reaction to the idiot who set it off - just sayin.
Sorry, just seen the posts above. There has never been a suspicion of touching my kid's genitals, its the puppys' willies that have been flicked. I don't want this to escalate.
NamPikToot, exactly right. Our dogs are off the street with generally unkwown parentage. No problem if that is respected and each treated as the individual it is. The reward I've had from taking these dogs in has been tremendous but they each have their nuances and need individual treatment.
I have found Thais in general to be clueless with regards to responding to dog behaviour.
I'd let it go and certainly wouldnt get the wife to make him lose face about chuk wowing your dogs.
just be careful. I love dogs and have always had them in the family with the kids growing up, sounds like you to, but thats me teaching them and not having some idiot treating them like an unfeeling unreactive object and that's dangerous and any fallout isn't the poor dogs fault. Personally i'd invite him to drop his kecks and i'll flick his nuts and see how he likes it. For me the Dogs come before the gardener.
Really?
My missus would put a spin on it, probably along the lines of touching the dogs is bad because......who knows. Karma, the farang gets jealous, the dogs get confused or who knows what passing through that brain would bring. But i guarantee you he would not go within ten yards of the dogs.
my missus would say something shit like that. Thats why I wouldn't leave it to her
I think he's getting worked up over nothing and the gardeners just playfully petting them and lightly flicking their nuts.
They would run off when they see him coming, not roll onto their backs if they didn't like it.
I've seen loads of dogs here behave aggresively to certain types of vehicle or maybe its the driver inside who has abused them. They don't forget.
Must say, that does that does come across as you being slightly envious or surely you'd have said that you wouldnt touch ANY dogs balls....not.... I wouldnt touch another mans dogs balls
You should go the old school way, when an erm dog's honour is at stake and challenge him to Pistols or more aptly Secateurs at Dawn.
Thanks for all the comments guys. I think as usual the answer lies somewhere in the middle. It was meant as a daily moan, not a crisis. My gardener is a good guy and has my complete trust with regards to my young daughter. I work away a lot and that wouldn't be possible without him. The trust is complete.
This issue is about cultural boundaries I believe. But it still bugs me. They are my dogs! In the UK it would never happen and I will drop a comment to the wife to resolve this. "These farangs are different, etc..."
NamPikToot, nail on head and these dogs need respect. Our latest puppy is very nervous but I'm sure will come good with patience. Its not rocket science, but so much easier with a bit of common sense. Sadly lacking unfortunately.
My last word. I had one dog wake me because she was worried about my daughter, turns out she was having a fit, never had one since but she'd part swallowed her tongue and we'd never have known - that dog saved her life. They are different gravy, treat them right and respect them, love them and you cannot go wrong - i admire you taking in the strays and it shows you have a good heart and teaching the kids likewise is great. Good on you.
Yes, sometimes I regret posting. I don't play with any dog's balls for the record.
For some reason its reminded me of the Two and a Half Men episode where Charlie is telling guys about Alan using peanut butter to encourage oral sex with his dog. "Yes but Alan, you're supposed to put the peanut butter on your dick and let the dog lick it off, not the other way round!"
Numb legs. Anyone ever heard of numb leg syndrome?
Fuck. I was enjoying a bottle of wine this evening and just as I finished it off this fucking annoying numb leg syndrome suddenly appeared. Now I can hardly walk. Bastard.
