Neighbors hate my Dog?!

The bottom line is that if your dog gets off leash and runs “at large,” (which is illegal), then you are not controlling it. I feel bad that Pitties and Rottweilers end up with these bad reputations, but as someone else pointed out, many people get these dogs for their reputations, thus perpetuating the negative stereotype.

Always keep your dog on leash, and if you come across other people while walking him, make him sit or move across the street to make sure they don’t get a bad impression of your dog. It can become a legal liability. For whatever reason, people don’t seem to care that there are Chihuahuas that are, pound for pound, as aggressive as a fighting pit bull. Because they only weigh 5 pounds, it’s seen as cute.

You can’t assume that any random person is going to like your dog, however harmless it may be. For the sake of your dog, be as exemplary of a pitbull owner as you can be. You will change minds in the process.

Imagine some 6 year old that had been traumatized when she was 4 by a dog bite. You come walking down the street and your loving pitbull slips away from you and just wants to give her a kiss.

Think you’ve got enough insurance?

I love dogs. However, I believe large gods should be kept leashed. I can totally understand people who get scared seeing a big dog out of leash and out of the owner’s control. Imagine a running toddler or worse a toddler hugging the dog… or kicking the dog (for whatever reason). Who knows what the dog’s reaction would be… What if it bites? You probably would say “sorry… the dog is so sweet… it was just that the kid misbehaved”. I do not think you can expect people to be supportive. If the dog is under control and always leashed, I do not see any problem and I guess after some time the neighbors would accept it.

I assume you won’t mind if i come up to you and start licking your face? if you try to swat me away, keep in mind, I’m friendly, but any sudden movement on your part especially if you’re small and I might have to bite you or maybe gouge your eyeballs out or knock you over. But I’m friendly! and cute! I went to school a few months. jeez louise, if your dog won’t stop the minute you tell it to, it’s not exuberant, it’s in charge. I have a dog, yeah, run her off leash in remote areas with no one around, and when I scream her name she SITS INSTANTLY even if she’s chasing a rabbit. but it’d still be all my fault if anything ever happened. exuberance is UNACCEPTABLE. You are the master. that dog is a low level beast, the BOTTOM OF THE PACK, a SERVANT, the UNDERLING, the LAST TO BE FED, LUCKY THAT YOU LET HER LIVE, and she should feel loved but UTTERLY CONTROLLED. that’s my opinion anyway. a Dog that doesn’t instantly obey has GOT TO GO. screw your firendly pitbull, until it knows its place. very very very very very low on the totem pole. but everyone treats their dog like it’s the equivalent of a human. sick. i hate your dog; sorry; but it’s true. apit bull is apolitical statement, and if you don’t mean what most people mean, you better be a pretty damn good dog owner. it’s a good bet that any given pit bull is a problem, because of who raises them.
