Not being considerate to other people who have smaller dogs? I just want to punch those people, they dont feel any responsability! I saw that lady once but pitbull was on the leash but it looked like the dog was walking her. My poor little Maxi I got him on my hands to pass by and just looked at the dog and he looked like he was about to strike that pose and everything. I told the lady that I heard her dog was off the leash one time and said please put the leash on your dog its the law! Otherwise I will make a complaint to 311 and they will hit you with a fine. Have some consideration to other dog owners. Why is it that alot of people who have big dogs are the onces that cannot control them? If the dog walks you, you know you have a problem. Also my brother has a pitbull and that dog is the sweetest pitbull I ever met. My brother says that his dog always plays with the neighbor yorkie they are the best pals. I dont know about that I just dont trust big dogs for a lot of reason even they may get hurt just by playing! My Maxi never met his cousin Rex the pitbull because I think they should be a distant cousins  |
We have a Yorkie and 2 pit bulls and have never had a problem. The yorkie actually runs the house lol. Pit bulls are one of those breed where experience and love for the breed are needed. The are easy to train but they learn differently and not many people know that. They learn only on positive reinforcement, any negative training and they either ignore you or rebel. With all positive training you can train a pit bull in a matter of hours, they are suprisingly very smart. They are gentle with babies and kids and most of the time will never bite a human as thats a major fault in the breeds standard and always has been. I think anyone that ownes or wants to own a pit bull should have to take a class or some sort of training that is hard to pass. They take lots of time and exercise just to keep them sane. It takes a very responsible owner to contain a pit bull, they must always be on a leash, in the house, or crated. They cannot be left alone in the yard, they are very capable of climbing over 7ft. fences. Sorry, i hate when people are irresponsibe and their pets have pat for it.
