While I DO love the work you are doing AND I do believe that training can help. A lot of the times, it is better to just have the dog PTS. YES i have experience with a HA dog, he was VERY managable around ME, but not around anyone else. This breedneeds to have POSITIVE dogs, toooooooooooooooooooo many headlines. these bully breeds are just about to be BANNED EVERYWHERE, why? because all of the FUR MOMMies AND i think everydog should be saved typed ppl ARE ruining it.
I think its great what these people do. All that hard work to undo all the damage done to the poor animal by a cruel owner in the past. Trust is a hard thing to earn when its been abused. Dont blame the dog its not this way naturally. Nice video.
LOL the owner put it on for me. eventually I was able to put it on and off. In your case you would have use positive experiences with the muzzle. Example a sniff then positive reinforcement treat/praise. Seriously repeat a million times and slowly progress. Hope this helps.
By the way, this is what a real American Pit Bull Terrier should look like. Athletic and almost mutt-like with a bit of bull dog. None of those ugly 80 lb. barrel-chest and massive head /cropped ear freak show features. Very playful and affectionate......great disposition.
Great job! I got an incredible american bulldog (1 year 10 months) but maybe I have socialized him a bit too much cause he loves being patted by almost everybody. Normally, he prefers avoiding conflict with other dogs but he does stand his ground if need be (I've seen and controlled that), hates when other dogs try to take him from behind (I will not correct that) and he specially hates drunk people (dunno y). He's a good guardian of house and garden, though.
Just so you know dogs with fear aggression can be corrected. No need to put him down. This dog is absolutely fine now. I would hope an owner who is dealing with fear aggression would be responsible enough to find a professional who help get the dog out of his own trap. This is what we do and we hope this helps you reconsider in giving a dog a chance before putting him down.
The thing is there's hundreds of thousands of pit bulls who have BOMB proof stable temperaments towards humans who are getting put down because there are not enough homes. To have a fear/human aggressive PIT BULL is nothing to muck with, you have to be on top of your dog at all times, muzzled outside because you can't take any chances, taking chances and having something like him maul a child will just put reponsible PB owners at bay of owning this breed.
A responsible owner (which this one was not) not allow a dog to get this far with this behavior. An irresponsible owner can easily put a stable dog out of wack and unstable if he does not have the skills to be a frim leader with this kind of bread. I would not dare place a stable dog with an unstable irresponsible owner!!! They will create a monster. It is better off with nothing.
True but regardless of owners temperament/behavior. Pit Bulls should still NEVER ever show human aggression even if never socialized, there genetic history is with humans.
I do not know if i agree with you on that. If a dog is afraid of something ....another dog, cat, bear, lion, a green& purple monster and yes even a human. Due to its uncertainty it will either accept it, fight or flight.
@ColoredDonut ....Wow. I can't believe how stupid I think this comment is. If you had never been treated well by humans and might have even been abused, you would show aggression too. This dog, because it never socialized, probably relied on its instincts.
Some trainers will use the "helicopter" method & I think it will work very well. These kind of dogs need a level 10 correction to totally break their aggression problem.
The Thing is, this actually is pretty easy. You did a great job, but I do see much "Follower" non pack leader body language from her. Hence why the dog just lays down when she asks the dog to come each time. But overall good job. Persistence is very important, and I wish everyone knew how to do this stuff with dogs.
To help you reanalyze a background is need on this dog: He was unsocial with dogs and people. He wanted 2 kill me on the 1st vist (this is 1 wk later) He would only come towards a person to bite! If you noticed every time i pulled he would want to charge at me.A strong leader needs patience! In this case, the dog had fear aggrssion 2 the recall.I allowed the dog to THINK and he decide 2 submit with a down (i did not quit there!) which led to walk on a leash for the very first time!Hope it helps!
Bbridge you are a wonderful person..and you are doing a great job and have a lot of patients to improve and train dog's who are almost considered to be put down. I love you and mayb someday will marry a person like you!!! i love you gurl!!
wow i love what you did with this dog it just lets me know that there are good people and great dogs out there good luck and keep doing what you are doing
Nice job

First: I Don't Speak so Well the english (Sorry)
Well, I have two Dogs (Male) They Both are too aggressive, they are fighting all the time, I just don't know what more to do.
I'm seriously thinking about a sacrifice.
u.u I'm so sorry about it but....Got no options.
katm989 2 years ago
Is that a fight only between them, or they are agressive toward people too?
It's pretty common that two male (or even female) dogs can't live together, so maybe you should split them, keep them separated?
