This might sound crazy to some people but I would not let my dog go in the backyard even on a leash. Like many posters said, tragedy happens in a split second. I have seen big strong men lose control of their dogs and those weren't even pitbulls. I don't let mine socialize with large breeds because even play from the bigger dog could hurt my baby. I agree with the poster that said to consider indoor potty training and if not definitely go for walks. It is so devastating for you that your babies had freedom in their yard and now that is taken away from them. I would not let my guard down for a minute. I am just so sad for you to have to go through this. |
