B's Dog Training: Training a very aggressive dog

Here is pitbull (American Stafforshire Terrier) that was never socialized with any other human or canine. I was his first encounter. He wanted to devour me the first time we met! (I should have recorded my first "meet" with him) Owner was in need of help. (For my safety a muzzle was used during that time. Soon after this recording I was able to interact with him with out a muzzle!) This is a dog saving and a happy ending story!!

How did you get the muzzle on? We have an agressive dog like this but we can't get the muzzle on.

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.

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.

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.

@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.
