Re: Pitbull Attack on Grandmother After an Ice Bucket Challenge
Had a bit of a look at that website, and there were a couple of things that made me pause. Like this, for instance, in regards to remote e-collars, which they say "is not a shock collar": This is a big NO for me when it comes to puppy training. Aversive behaviour training methods using a shock-collar (yes, an e-collar IS a shock collar) should only be applied if appropriate shaping techniques that don't use such don't work; young dogs with underlying anxiety conditions with even the mildest of aversive techniques can fall apart REALLY quickly. I just hope the folks who run that place are aware of that, and are savvy enough to pick which dogs are appropriate for e-training, and which ones aren't, and using the appropriate level of stimulis. (Personally, the only times I've used e-training is when the dog is completely and utterly unresponsive to the usual training methods which are less invasive. In total, I've had three dogs out of hundreds I've rescued and re-trained that have required me to use an e-collar. It mostly goes unused.) |

So much ignorance about pit bulls and other dog breeds in this thread. It's sad.

Re: Pitbull Attack on Grandmother After an Ice Bucket Challenge
FYI. The innocent dog heard her screaming and was there to protect the children. The dog was near the grandmother and children when she became hysterical and the dog did what is was suppose to do by nature. PROTECT. I hope the family didn't have the dog put to sleep. |

Re: Pitbull Attack on Grandmother After an Ice Bucket Challenge
Blanket statement is incorrect. Why does anyone choose one type of dog over another? All different reasons. I've been around GSD's and I prefer Pit Bulls. They're both intelligent, strong dog breeds. I'm not looking to impress anyone. I've seen idiots who buy a GSD to look cool. The dog often ends up being an unstable asshole when the person doesn't know what they're doing. Any dog breed that seen as powerful will attract idiots. |
