a little 'slightly' helpful advise when dealing with an aggressive pit, or any dog..
Sure get gun n shoot da miserable monger!! LOL, no,,
Learned a hard lesson in almost two years.. We moved into a town, (albeit our specific location is nice)That the city moved most of the HUD people out to, and so, there are neighborhoods, and spots where it's not nice to leave your door/car or property , unlocked.
2 years ago, shortly after we settled in, plenty news stories of home invasions..
Long to short a neighbor told us of a bread that's a great protection dog a brindle catahoula leopard.. and we bought a Puppy,, actually two, we fell in love with brother and sister.. there was a hint of pit in them the seller completely denied.. These were pure bread, but of a different verity of the catahoula leopard. and they grew up to be identical to the best in breed.. .
We learned 3 months later,, 100 years ago,, people understood brothers and sisters need to be separated and treaded in order or who's #1 and #2.
The female was #1, and male 2.. But we favored the male which made things worse, so she attacked him occasionally.
Then one morning I heard them fighting, which was normal play activity. but 5 minutes later I heard em again,, then 2 more minutes i had to check..
They were locked, and He #2 would NOT let go.. She responded to me instantly but he was locked. I tried every imaginable thing to get him to break lose but,, it wasn't until i Kicked him almost to the extent of abuse.. or lets just say,, hard enough to hurt him. Which I never treat and animal or anything in such a way, but,, ...
Anyways, I searched the net to discover the brother/sister, or puppies raised together priority.
We'd actually caused her to attack him by favoring.. whereas we should have feed em separately, her first, and played with her first, walked etc..
not much to do with this whole topic,, except as I narrow to the finish or this hard learned lesson.
We gave her to the neighbor who advised us to get one, and all seemed to be good..
we trained him and her for the little time she was with us. played walked and attempted to teach him to socialize with other dogs..
All seemed well until about 6 months ago, he was fully grown, about 50 pounds. I wanted to let him play by himself, out of the fenced yard.. as there were 3 other dogs always out too. carefully watching his every move..
a few hours later I walked him down the street where a neighbor had always wanted me to let him play with his female 100 pound boxer, about 4 months younger than ours..
wherever they met,, a normal exchange of growling,, barking,, testing each other,, as expected.. sniffing etc,,.. and then they broke into a fight,, which was kind-a expected too. normally a quick exchange of small bits and somebody proves who's #1 and #2.. it was her yard after all..
I expected this to be quick and one or the other,, would turn and show the belly.. Him being 50 pounds and her 100,, duhh no brainier?? LOL
They knew each other too as she was always out..
Anyways,, she turned first.. so we expected it was over,, but dam, If mine didn't take advantage of this,, scurry around, bit her leg then go for her throat, and THEN LOCKED!!
now we got 2 grown men pulling, then hitting, then kicking, then trying to pry his mouth open, while hitting and or kicking.. then the owner comes along who was so upset he hit him on the head so hard, he broke his hand..
Previously as he grew,, my wife couldn't manage him because his head, or he could take so much punishment he thought this is a play routine..
I taught him to respond to me quick,, within a day or so when we got him.. but,, she wouldn't go by the rules, and has never been able to control him..
he'll wimpler on my voice commands if needed, but not for her..
and now I'm into a dog fight and there's absolutely nothing I can do to get him to let go!!
Then the boxers owner kicked him straight in the balls!!!
BAM!!! and, whelp he didn't yelp BUT, . he let go!!
He didn't show much sign of injury, I donno maybe they are only slightly not as hard as his head?
I've spoken to a lot of people since then, many who've owned PiTT's, and all have agreed, when or if they lock,, the only way out is to kick em in the Kahunas.
Had I a clue I would have in short order.. I can't tell you how much I apologized to the boxer's owner,, unlike your problems that guy wont accept responsibility..
although that owner asked me several time to let them play,, It's my dog, it's my responsibility..
it was his yard too..
three grown men on a 50 pound dog, not stick, kick, hitting, beating nothing would stop my dog..
because of that single time,, actually 2, 3 months puppy and then this,, we intend to give him away but,, can't find anybody who we deem responsible enough to do it.. and worse is, our only other option is to have him put down..
He's a great dog,, loves U to death, (pun), but seriously, well trained, loves to play with anybody. Butt,, the chances are soo high if he gets out of the fence, and tries to play with a child, who gets scared and runs,, he could lock..
when there's 2, it's a team and if you hurt 1, most likely they'll both run..
it's awfully brutal sounding .. But!!
Male or female dog,, when you are in a heat completely out of control,, concentrate on kicking em where it hurts!!
