I would keep an eye on him and if you even suspect anything out of the ordinary I would not hesistate to make that call.

i totally agree.everyday many dogs of this breed is put down because of stupid people that make them very aggressive in order to use them as fighting dogs. It is very sad.

[LIL MIS' MAGIC]

I would agree to keep a close eye on them...if you see anything that is out of the ordinary then make that call!! Another thing you can do is talk to his parents and let them how you feel and what you are afraid might happen...!! You would rather be too careful than not careful enough!!

[browniesmom622]

yes i know thats why im gonna keep a very close eye there so adorable it would be very sad

[Kelz]

yeah i would def. keep an eye on him!!

[browniesmom622]

we posted at the same time i would take to the parents but they dont speak english !! lol he has a little brother hes about 10 or so and hes very good with the dog and we talked to him when they got the dog

If it were me - I'd go back and try to talk TO him - tell him that you are kind of nervous and that his dog could easily hurt another dog one day - it's NOT the way to go training a dog to be agressive - does he have even younger brothers and sisters ? An agressive dog could easily hurt THEM and if he isn't careful with so much muscle he could be responsible for what his dog does and IF he ever threatens you or Brownie - you should call the police immediately -

Since he's a neighbor - I'd talk to him just like you would a friend first....then if that doesn't work -I'd get tough with him...some kids really can respect you treating them as adults - but others will laugh in your face.

That's pretty scary - Kids in my neighborhood have pitts - the new thing is to go down the street on their bikes...with the DOG pulling them -

On hot Houston streets I really may call someone if I see THAT again.

i would agree to keep an eye on him. as soon as you see something out of the ordinary, about aggression, etc. make the call. maybe if its cought early, they could do some training, and might not have to have the dog distroyed. that comment about brownie freaked me out a little, good luck!

This is great advice. I notice with most topics on this forum, you can't go wrong listening to Villette! I think too many times people call the cops or other authorities and just make matters worse. Give them a chance to be decent and they may surprise you -- and grow up a little in the process.

thanks villette well my mom was sweeping out by the sidwalk and he was still out there with the dogs im not worried about the other pup cause the other boy is real sweet with him he kissed him like 12 times lol anyways i had austin in my arms like always and he says hey you wanna fight mine and your dog my mother said to him that was the stupidest thing i have ever hear out of your mouth ... well after my mom yelling at him hes like ... you know i was only joking right he said it like 12 times and my mom just kept on saying well i hope so she said well i will be keeping a close eye on you

[wendybee]

i would keep a close eye on him and would also talk to his mother about the dog saying if it bits anyone or another dog they could be in for a law suit she proberly wont like that and will speak to her son. if not report him


wendy and rosie

[schatzie]

Being that this kid is imature and his Mom is strict. Maybe you can directly speak your concerns to his Mom. This way she can talk to her son and possibly get through to him.

His actions towards raising this Pit Bull could possibly place the dog, other animals, and people in danger.

I don't understand the mentality to raise a dog to have such aggressions. It's very disturbing.

Lenora - it almost sounds like he was joking - if he felt bad with your mom - maybe he was just showing off - Teen boys LOVE acting all cool and I have a feeling he meant no harm and it he was just being a boy - Is he a good kid normally ? As long as he can keep a good eye on his Pitt and know how strong they are and how easily they can go after smaller dogs - maybe things will be ok - But I'd ALWAYS keep an eye on the dog - they scare me when small dogs are around them -

I don't know if you ever saw what I did when my neighbors got a pitt...

I FREAKED out and totally barricaded my fence on that side - It looked TERRIBLE - I am NOT a carpenter - I used plywood...fence posts...shelves....you name it - I POUNDED nails into it and my fence looks like I'm one of those crazy people waiting for an Alien Invasion -

For a joke to make my husband laugh - I made THIS Banner and Hung it on my fence.....(Yes...I have WAY too much time on my hands )

the sign is gone and the pitt went away so now I'm left with my Alien Invasion Crappy looking Fence and poor Chanel lost her really good Spy-hole
