When was the last dogfight the United States was involved in?

During the Persian Gulf War, American fighters shot down 37-38 Iraqi aircraft. During the Bosnian-Serbian episodes in the late 90s, the Air Force shot down a number of Serb aircraft, if I recall, around 15.

On April 1, 2001, an American EP-3 electronic intercept aircraft tangled with a Chinese fighter. The Chinese fighter got to close and was torn in half after collision with the one propellor on the American plane. Technically this wasn't a dogfight but unofficially, the naval aviation community jokes that the EP-3 scored an air to air victory.

During the Iraq War, there were no opportunities as the Iraqis knew they had no chance and never sortied a single aircraft.

Many people love the idea of owning a dog but one thing that they have to keep in mind often times, is that the dog needs to be trained. While the pet may look heart-breakingly cute when it's in a shelter or at the pound, picking out the dog is only the first part of the relationship between dog owner and the animal. Many people don't understand that they have to put time and effort into socializing the dog.

An unsocialized dog will intimidate others, tear up the home, and will create an environment that can become so bad that the it will have to be returned. Many times when dogs have to be returned to shelters or to other resources, it will end up euthanized, which is very heartbreaking. All of this can be spared if a person learns the various techniques in order to socialize the dog.

One thing that they have to understand is that the he wants to be told what to do. It's in the canine nature to follow a leader. The dog will be more than willing to obey the leadership of its master. Here's a look at some common techniques that are used in dog training:

"Dog Whispering"

This is a technique that has been around for a while, but gained national notoriety over the last 10 years. Some people might hear this term and wonder how in the world whispering to a dog can train it! Whispering isn't meant to be taken literally in this case. As trainers have shown, whispering is a term that refers to connecting with a being or an entity on a very deep and almost spiritual level. When it comes to dog training techniques, dog whispering involves careful observation of the dog's behavior and actions.

It literally entails getting inside the mind and the behavior system of the canine. When a person uses dog whispering techniques, they interact with the dog on the canine level. Again, one the most common mistakes that people make is treating the dog like a small human being.

"Reward Training"

Reward training is very simple and it's one of the older tricks that works. This is a simple method of training the dog by positive reinforcement. Once he does what it is told to do, it receives a treat. How this works is that the dog owner must entice the dog towards the treat. Once the canine develops awareness for the treat, it develops a strong desire for it. When the desire for it is extremely strong, the dog owner pulls back. Then the dog receives a command and when the dog obeys the command, it receives the treat. The object is to make the dog associate a treat with the command.

"Clicker Training"

Other dog training techniques include one that is similar to reward training, which is called clicker training. How this works is that the clicker is incorporated to get the dog's attention. The clicker is clicked as a form of communication with the dog. It learns that there is a command or reward associated in conjunction with the clicker. Many people claim that this is fun, and they actually make a game with the dog by using the clicker for their dog training tasks.

"Ultrasonic Whistle"

Last, a relatively new form of dog training technique is called the ultrasonic whistle. This works because the ultrasonic sound is only heard by the dog. When the owner is trying to communicate a command, or stop the dog from barking, they will blow on their whistle when they want to communicate a command to the dog. The benefit of this is that the humans can't hear this noise, but the dog can hear it, and they will learn to associate the sound with a command.

Dog training techniques aren't hard to incorporate, but they are something that absolutely must be incorporated from the time a dog owner brings their new dog home. No matter how old or how young the dog is, they will need training. Once they are trained properly, they will be a wonderful addition to one's family.

If you count Michael Vick, there's probably illegal fights between dogs in the USA every day, that jjust does not make it into the news.

There may be air combat situations that don't make it into the news. The last one I remember was when China ordered some US spy plane to land, and the USA decided not to make a military fight over it.

Prior to the invasion of Iraq, the US was attempting to maintain a no-fly zone over portions of Iraq because of the previous Gulf War, and the various failed efforts to prevent Saddam from massacring his own people ... during that time period, there were a number of engagements, but I think most of them were like between ground based missile systems, not aircraft to aircraft.

bin Laden does not have an air force, but al Qaeda does hijack the occasional airliner, but they've managed to reach their targets before civilian authorities figured out what was going on & call in the air force. You could call 9/11 an air battle that the USA lost.

The last time the US shot down a plan with gunfire was in the Vietnam War. We did shot down aircraft in the Bosnia and in the first Iraq War, the second war the Iraqis did not get a single plane of the ground, but that was done with missiles. So they where not dogfights.

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tinyurl.im/rgZxG

If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.

It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

If you mean with Gun then in Vietnam but if you mean any air to air engagement then in 1999 during Kosovo war we downed 5 Serbian MiG-29 ,4 by F-15C and 1 by F-16CJ . But thats all done with missiles ( AIM-120 AMRAAM ) .

Actually they train through dogfighting on a regular basis. With each other and other coutries. In combat i believe it was in the Balkan conflict
