Lynzy hit the nail on the head-a pit specific trainer will always foremost not only discourage but all out ban an owner from playing tug of war with a pit...Cesar is an idiot IMHO.
When you play tug of war you are saying "I am your equal challenge me and then lets add on the instinct of prey drive and aggression".
Even pits rescued from fighting rarely ever bite people, they are agressive specifically towards other animals and dogs...however the issue is they are trained to be so DA they will harm severely a person who gets between them and their prey.
This is not a yorkie or other dog bite, it will be deep, they will hold and trash tearing skin and muscle to the bone. Breaking their own teeth or being physically assaulted will not stop it, in fact these actions in fight trained dogs will only increase the severity of the attack.
As much as I have faith and belief in pits, people should treat having one the same as gun owner ship-training and safety measures should be foremost & required-period. |
