First of all a responsible pet owner wont let their dog run at large! I realize sometimes dogs escape! Second of all a responsible pet owner would not own a dog or teach a dog to attack! Its not the dogs fault.............where do you draw the line, and where do you take your dog when he attacks your neighbor? To obedience school, might help, but most obedience training schools do not allow aggressive dogs! These dogs have to be worked with on a DAILY basis! FOR LIFE! Not just anyone can teach a dog not to be aggressive! Remember this is a learned behavior, only a professional can teach an owner to teach the pet to learn a new behavior! The learning process is daily for life, your pet will never forget this past behavior it will only learn new behaviors, and as long as you are there everyday to keep the new behavior a daily way of life, will your pet be a loving pet! |
Yes, not only learned but bred into the dogs which is even more dangerous. The real issue is that there are so many dogs that have been bred for their aggressive behavior how do you determine one to another after they have bitten someone?
I work in the OR and know the damage that can be done with dog bites. It is not pretty and actually I would classify it as disturbing. We have domesticated dogs and then there are those that have turned that into something that had become dangerous to many.
As I said way at the very beginning of this thread. The owners of these dogs ALL seem to be irresponsible in their ownership. Having a pet should be a privilege and not a right. Taking that one step even further breeding should only be done for betterment of the breed and not atrocities such as dog fighting!
