Q. Why is it that nearly 3 out of 5 people consider pitbulls a bad pet? It's the people that raised them that make the dogs mean and vicious. But why is every pitbull, nice or mean, seen as a horrible dog?
A. A Pit Bull is two words not one, by the way. Yes, most Pit Bulls are nice pets, however the breed has the Bulldog and a Terrier in their history and are bred to be fighting dogs. Aggression is normal for this breed because of their history, like I said before. Also, this breed has a high prey drive.
If you can train, socialize, and love the Pit, you might manage the dog. Also, the media is ruining this amazing breed. I own this breed for 15 years and those years were the best. I currently have a Pit and home and luckily this dog is not scared and have a high prey drive.
But actually, you were not quite right when you said people raise them to make the Pit Bull vicious. Its the lineage of the breed.

My friend's dog is aggressive? He snaps at strangers and has nipped her dad pretty badly. What to do?
Q. All the trainers in my area recommend prong collars and "hanging"-in my experience this just makes dogs even meaner because they try to defend themselves. So any other advice?
A. dont give himm attention for "defending" you!!!!!!! also if someone is coming over that the dog is aggressive towards put him in a kennel or a cage i have a kennel that i call "timeout" just like a little kid if the dog does something bad put him in timeout it will take a while but usually they learn

A. You don't need to ask twice in five minutes. Be patient.
Like I said, she should find a trainer she's comfortable with and work hard on regaining control of that dog. There's nothing you can do since you're not the owner.

What do you think of pitbulls as far as the title they have of being bad dogs?
Q. me personally i think if anyone should be punished its the owners of the dog not the dog ive had a couple pitbulls and never once did they bite or even snap at anyone it was around people all the time and was trained so i think the people that make the dogs mean should be punished like the drug dealers that make the dogs (usually pitbulls) mean in order to protect there house and drugs from cops mainly so my question is whats your opinion about pitbulls
A. Pittbulls are great dogs, however. They are bred for certian things, usually to be aggressive and they can show aggression with out notice if the situation is right. Your totally right its all about the OWNER. They have to know the breed, to train the breed, and be able to take the responsiblity of the care and confinment of the animals. Also take the heat if one of there dogs did do something wrong. I have a Cane Corso/Pitt Bull cross. He was suppose to be a fighting dog, but despite him being a cross of 2 suspected highly aggressive breeds, he did not want to fight. SO he was used as a bait dog. To train and teach other fighting dogs to attack. He was around 3 years when we got him. Covered in scars, starved, broken bones, and skin infections he was left for dead. He was going to be euthed but something about him struck my heart. I didnt want an aggresive bred dog since I have a houseful of animals and family. With love, training, and understanding he is a well socialized and balanced dog, BUT he is sometimes unpredictable around other dogs. I NEVER leave my gaurd down with him. I never stop training him or dealing with him, he's 9 now and i still dont stop with him.
The problems right now in the hysteria and fear of breeds of dogs like Pitt bulls, Cane Corso, Dogos, Rottwielers, Dobermans, Mastiffs, and other fighting breeds.The hysteria with these breeds is that when they attack and bite, they are capable of killing, and destroying, which is what they were bred for. They dont let go and they love to pack up. This strike the fear of god in the general public.
In fact the most reported breed of dogs that bite according to home owner insurance reports, is Labs, Poodles, and Spaniels. They bit more than any other breed of dog. Now the problem in this is that when one of these breeds bites, they bite and let go, they dont kill, they dont maim, and they dont, always pack up. So its all about public education but unless you can train every one its going to be this way forever.
Taranheart, you and I should form a club lol, I was attacked by a Rottwieler in my job, its was totally my fault and I was the idiot. I never held it against him, and actually adopted him. Unfortunantly he had cancer and died shortly after we reconciled.
FOR those about the kids around pitts comments. My Sigmound, cane corso/pitt X is around kids all the time, I dont worry about the kids as much as I worry about strange dogs coming into my yard. He currently lives with 7 other dogs and hes ok with these but he is always iffy, around new ones.
JOHN J I dont fall in any of your catagories, I have a job, a high IQ, a University degree, I am not a drug addict nor dealer, I am not a redneck, or a dumb a** like you are. Unfornuantly your answer is full of ignorance and predjudice. Its not needed or wanted around here, but we have to tolerate losers like you since its a public sight.
