I am not trying to make a bad wrap for pit-bulls because the breed is not so much my problem. Please remember that there were 2 dogs involved- a black lab and a pit-pull. The black lab was the one that lounged forward and was barking at my dogs first. The pit-bull was actually following the labs behavior and altho he was lounging forward and barking, he did so remaining behind the lab. (The dog-walker had one leash/one dog per hand and trying to restrain them unsuccessfully.) I love all dogs, including pits but this is about having neighbors with big, powerful untrained dogs. I know the reason these dogs are aggressive is because of the owner's lack of discipline. I would like to know what other people with small or big dogs would do if they were in my place. I don't want to have any problems with the neighbors but they have already made suggestions to keeping my dogs on their leashes even when they are fenced in my backyard! I feel slightly threatened by what she is saying [it's as if she's trying to protect herself if her dogs get loose] and I would like to take every precaution possible without restricting my dogs of running around in their big backyard. |
