More obedience training for dog and owner.
If the dog isn’t heeling, then the owner isn’t in control.
If the dog gets off the leash, then the owner isn’t in control.
You have a pit bull and you are not in control.
You say exuberance, they see agitated.[/quote]
You said it all perfectly NSR! Strangers don’t know this dog and if I had an “exuberant” dog coming at me after getting out of the owners control, I would tend to get “aggressively” worried if my kids are with me and in the past I was the one who got the funny looks like “WTF man, my dog is an angel”. I wonder if this dog owner has seen what happens when a dog in heat is in the vicinity?

May 29, 2010 at 12:09 PM #556771CDMA ENGParticipantPitbulls have a very bad rep despite being a great dog.
Problem is that most owners buy them because they are a tough-guy status symbol and thier owners want them mean and train them to be that way.
When people see someone with a pitbull they can’t even disconnect the fact the owner isn’t of that tough-guy mentality.
Really there are no bad pits… Just owners! But the bad PR is here to stay.
I love dogs but even around pits I am cautious because YOU NEVER KNOW what the owner has taught that dog to be.
That really is root of the problem from the way I see it. My buddy owns two great pits. He is a PhD in biology and works at the research level. Despite his standing in the community and his immaculent house and yard people still treat those dogs as a threat despite not being aggressive at all.
Just the perception of the dogs…
