Wow, for the last 35 years I’ve owned Rottweilers, German Shepherds and Pit Bulls. Many of them rescue dogs. Never had an issue, all my dogs go through basic training and AKC Canine Good Citizen course. Some dogs, like one pit I have now, is preparing to go on to further training to be a service dog, which takes about an additional 12-24 months depending on dog and type of tasks to me mastered.

No, I’m not a professional trainer, just a RESPONSIBLE dog owner. And there you have the problem, many dog owners are not responsible.

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION I’m no buying the dog just up and attacked, theirs more to the story.

I owed two Dobermans at one time and I’m surprised that someone on here hasn’t verbally attacked them. Their training was very important to us AND TO THEM. But you can see even with the “ankle biter” type dogs, people see no need to train them as it’s the dogs that walk the people not the other way around.

How many people here remember the Reagans walking their dog or the obozo’s???? No, the Reagans didn’t walk the obozos...but someone should! I’m sure everyone gets the point - the little dogs dragged the first ladies across the lawns. Why did no one knowledgeable correct the situation? Now that the obozo dogs are larger, you don’t see anyone walking them.

How would you like to be the one to be the pooper scooper? Left to them, I’m sure they couldn’t care less but thank goodness there are custodians to see that the s**t doesn’t pile up outside as fast as it does inside!!!
