Piro Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 No bad dogs....just terrible humans. Pittys are great dogs. My friend rescued one a few years ago and I fell in love. My next dog will be a pitt for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he would still try to make puppies with your shoe if you left it where he could get at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 P.S. I love pits! I don't think there are bad dogs either per se, but I do know that there are dogs with issues they can't easily let go of.... One of my dogs (Snoop - Australian Kelpie) was a rescue and he is somewhat territorial and protective of myself and my wife. He has a scary *** bark (he's also 75 lbs) but has never bitten anyone. We've been training and working with him non-stop for 2 years....He's a LOT better than he was but he still has some outbursts occasionally. He's been a tough one for me.... but I won't give up on him and I will NOT tolerate a badly behaved dog. He gets corrected anytime he is doing something he shouldn't. (Verbal, and a quick, light collar jerk) On the other hand, I get told every day how good my dogs are (they come to work with me) and how obedient they are etc. It's about challenging yourself and challenging your dog. If I didn't challenge Snoop on a daily basis, he'd be a madman and he would have bitten someone by now. That said, I love him to pieces because 95% of the time, he's a big suck and so damn cute!

[/quote'] I'm with you - I think dogs are what you make of them. Unfortunately, when folks won't/can't/don't know how to make a dog into a great friend, the results can be disastrous. In those cases, I believe that some breeds can turn out to be more of a disaster than do others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShredAstaire Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Here's the little bastage doing some agility. This is one of the things we do with him to lower his energy levels, increase his focus and raise his confidence. He's really good at it too!

ShredAstaire Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 No...i don't think we have time for that...its more for him and his mental state than anything else.

Riverside Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 That's a great thing you do for your dog. One of the advantages of having the little ones is that they get worn out just going outside to do their business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Thank you...I love him to death and I don't want him to do something to someone that would have him removed from my home etc. Plus I enjoy having two well behaved dogs...its way less stressful for us. We took both our dogs down to "The Largest Festival For Dogs in North America" called Woofstock here in Toronto over the weekend. http://www.woofstock.ca/ SOOOOO MANY DOGS and most of them quite well behaved. I was impressed....i guess the people who go to that sort of thing are the sort who really have a passion for dogs and don't just have one cuz the kids wanted one. I think that's a problem a lot of the time too with angry dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 The meanest dog I ever encountered belonged to my uncle. Near as I can tell he did nothing to make him mean. I think he bought him mean. He kept him tied up with fairly heavy chain staked into the ground with a final drive axle from a 56 Chevy. Or maybe it was out of a Massey-Harris combine... anyways he lived in the boonies at the end of a lonely road. His wife, my aunt was wheel chair bound and he kept the dog around for her protection. She got awful lonely and scared when Unc was away working. Every time anyone drove up, that dog was jerking at the end of that log chain. Needless to say we didn't spend much time getting from the house to the car. I looked into the eyes of that dog once. I think I saw the face of Lucifer himself. They were coal black bottomless pits. Unc and auntie were the only ones who could get close to him. I believe he was a mutt, mostly a Border collie mix, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tied out on the end of a chain, with no real chance to interact with people makes them mean and psychotic. They're pack animals and when you keep them from their pack (human owners) they get mean.

milod Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 A pack of feral dogs has long been considered by many folks as the most dangerous "animal" in North America, at least. Frankly my experience indicates that no other animal or human is safe once a pack decision is made to attack. Funny thing is that I once did a survey on a "history and philosophy" list to see who were dog and who were cat owners. It came down to about 40 cat, 40 dog and 20 no inclination to own either. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Drugs are always dangerous. Especially the ones with the bad side effects. Doctors should know better than to give their patients drugs that could harm them. Oh... wait... this is about Dangerous Dogs. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
