Pit Bull thuggish behavior at the dog park Some lady brought her pit bull to the dog park and it was running around growling and snapping at all the other dogs at the park. Whilst all this is going on, she and a man who's standing on the small dog side are paying no mind to the thuggish behavior of the Pit Bull. I'm sitting within ears reach of them and he's giving her tips on how to handle her dog and how he may have just had a bad handler in the past, meanwhile the dog is biting other dogs backs and snouts and they're just gabbing away. I saw at least 5 unprovoked attacks while I was there. The dog never got aggressive at my dog but my dog was clearly giving off the "don't you fucking dare!" growl when it came over towards us. I didn't have any weapons on me, just a sack of dog turds I was ready to smear on the dogs face if it locked jaws on me or my dog. Anyways. ...I made it home safe The other dogs at the park were a treeing coon hound, German Shepherd, two collies a mut, and my standard poodle thats a time where you carry! lol. isnt there a law where if it attacked yours, you have the right to shoot to kill? i swear its something like for the protection of others, similar to killing a rapist |

Dogs growl and snap at each other at dog parks. It is often how they play. Must have been 40 dogs at the park yesterday, dogs snapping all over the place. You can tell when it is more than that.
Yes with a pit I'd be more diligent than just about any other breed, but no dogs were bitten, no fighting occured, so really you're reporting standard every day dog interactions at the dog park but it was a pit and that made you nervous so you had to tell us about it. Cool story bro. |

I just leave when the aggressive dogs show up. Life is too short, especially for my dog. That being said, there's a difference between aggressive and rambunctious. We've made friends with lots of dogs that came bounding into the dog park and wanted to chase every dog and sometimes knock them over and grab whatever toys I was holding. Then they chilled out and acted slightly more civilized. They were just starved for exercise and social activity, not inherently vicious. And my dog has learned to tolerate this style which is less refined and self-contained than her own.
But when there's a fight within ten seconds of a new dog arriving, it's not likely that the afternoon is going to get better. We're out. You should always have a weapon on you at the dog park. I have heavy gloves, a mace (ball throwing stick) and a flail (tug rope with handle). And two guns. Most importantly I pay attention. I'm there for my dog, not to pawn her off on other people while I play Words with Friends on my smart phone. It seems the people with the worst dogs just want to sit on the bench and do their own thing while their dog runs wild. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Dog park. I mostly agree. I go only when it's raining heavily because that makes my back yard unusable and my dog loves rain and snow. That weather tends to keep the riff raff away from the dog park and you might run into one or two people with well-mannered working breed dogs. |

Dog parks suck. I bring my gsp on occasion, but leave as soon as there is even a glint of aggression issues. Otherwise it is a good way to fuck up a perfectly good dog.

Back in 2013, Bimba and I were at the dog park where we met a a pit bull that growled at me. As soon as that dog growled at me, Bimba charged and bit the pit bull. The owner was a rather ugly looking young woman with tattoos. She kept screaming at me and the more she yelled.at me the more pissed off Bimba became. It is a good thing that Bimba listens to me and that I was able to call her off. |

And then twice while breaking up fights I was glad I had some protection. |

I'm sitting within ears reach of them and he's giving her tips on how to handle her dog and how he may have just had a bad handler in the past, meanwhile the dog is biting other dogs backs and snouts and they're just gabbing away. I saw at least 5 unprovoked attacks while I was there. The dog never got aggressive at my dog but my dog was clearly giving off the "don't you fucking dare!" growl when it came over towards us. I didn't have any weapons on me, just a sack of dog turds I was ready to smear on the dogs face if it locked jaws on me or my dog. Anyways. ...I made it home safe The other dogs at the park were a treeing coon hound, German Shepherd, two collies a mut, and my standard poodle Now I am not attempting to make any particular point here. I realize standard poodles can be testy, in a purse swinging kind of way, and they are fairly medium sized companion animals....but ... She's a big one....78 pounds  |

The proper term is not dogs - it's gastronomes. I was going with "land-shark" |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My local dog park is great. It's a few acres and as soon as you get 50 yards into it, everyone is spread out enough that you usually don't even come close to other people/dogs unless you want to be. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Dog park. My local dog park is great. It's a few acres and as soon as you get 50 yards into it, everyone is spread out enough that you usually don't even come close to other people/dogs unless you want to be. I use my local dog park simply for the extra space that I can't provide at home. My back yard is a Border collie playground with several fun activities and obstacles and changes in the landscape that make a ball bounce in odd directions. She loves that game, especially fetch combined with agility moves, but the one thing we can't do here is long flat-out runs. |

Walking my dog one day, and a woman was walking her pit bull in the opposite direction. As we approached each other on the sidewalk, her dog started going batshit.
She says to me, "Could cross to the other side of the street? I can't control him." Oh, and the best part... we were standing on the sidewalk right in front of an elementary school.

Pit Bull thuggish behavior at the dog park Some lady brought her pit bull to the dog park and it was running around growling and snapping at all the other dogs at the park. Whilst all this is going on, she and a man who's standing on the small dog side are paying no mind to the thuggish behavior of the Pit Bull. I'm sitting within ears reach of them and he's giving her tips on how to handle her dog and how he may have just had a bad handler in the past, meanwhile the dog is biting other dogs backs and snouts and they're just gabbing away.

From the look of your dog , I can see why you like hanging out with the other ladies. |

Some dogs come from a genetic line that was bred to kill other dogs & people then selectively bred to the most aggressive currently available other dogs are bred for other reasons including protection obedience and sound temperament.

I just leave when the aggressive dogs show up. Life is too short, especially for my dog. That being said, there's a difference between aggressive and rambunctious. We've made friends with lots of dogs that came bounding into the dog park and wanted to chase every dog and sometimes knock them over and grab whatever toys I was holding. Then they chilled out and acted slightly more civilized. They were just starved for exercise and social activity, not inherently vicious. And my dog has learned to tolerate this style which is less refined and self-contained than her own. <snip> This right here. Some dogs come from a genetic line that was bred to kill other dogs & people then selectively bred to the most aggressive currently available other dogs are bred for other reasons including protection obedience and sound temperament. Situational awareness and being adequately prepared to deal with the worst case scenario is prudent. There are several breeds of dogs that were bred to fight other dogs and animals. There is only ONE dog that was bred for "man work" and that is the Doberman. Other dogs have been adapted for man work or "protection" but only the Doberman was specifically bred for use against men. The modern day Doberman is a shadow of what they once were. |
