You may feel your pittys are fine loose in your front yard (off leash) but your neighbors may not feel the same way. There is an aggressive lab, yes...lab down the street from me who is allowed to lay in the front yard unleashed. EVERY time I go by there, he comes after my two yorkies. I've spoken with the owner and she just states that he's afraid of little dogs and maybe I should carry them when passing her house! I've seen this same dog go after another small dog while they were both on leashes. The dog is unpredictable. But regarding yours, I've stopped taking my girls out to the neighborhood mailboxes because I have to walk by her house. It's not fair to those of us who obey leash laws when someone in the neighborhood doesn't.
Just thought you might like to hear from the other side of the coin.

So with that being said.. the owners OBVIOUSLY LACK TRAINING SKILLS and need to do something about their dogs. Maybe need them kenneled so they do not get out!
I have a Yorkie myself and I WOULD DIE of Worry if someone told me that he may get mauled if he ever got out of my yard! I would NOT live like that, and would in fact speak with the owners of the pittys first and then resort to ANIMAL CONTROL if need be.
I am sorry that these people are making a worse rap for pit bulls as they are great animals when properly trained! |
