“Before taking on a certain breed of dog, the owner should follow a course to understand its behaviour and how to deal with it, “he said.

exactly

Scotti added that recent cases of dog aggression were the result of “the incapacity of the owner in controlling certain breeds”.

“Choosing a 90 kg dog like a Neapolitan mastiff without being properly prepared, for example, is like giving a Ferrari to someone who has just passed their driving licence,” he said.

Like giving an M-16 to a chimpanzee
or
Like giving control of a nuclear plant to Homer Simpson
or
Like giving the Toastmaster podium to George Bush
or
Like giving the right to vote to Democrats to give the "football" to Obama!

I totally agree.

We have a Pit and at almost 5 months old he is already 40 lbs. I am 5’1 and small but I am the ALPHA in the relationship. Diesel minds me better then my larger and louder husband because I MAKE him mind. If he fails to obey he gets a jerk from this nifty little collar that pinches like a momma dog correcting a pup. It is not cruel, it doesn’t break the skin (it’s a smooth plastic) but it’s enough of a correction that he is starting to obey without the collar. Dogs are pack animals and respond to a leader and has a responsible owner, I MUST be the leader. Our neighbors love Diesel too - he gives lots of slobbery kisses to whoever he can!

Pits are not for everyone. I was raised on a large farm with a Grandfather who had a magic touch with animals, even the big bulls would lick his face, so I don’t have much animal fear (something dogs can sense). I can’t stand those taco bell dogs and cockers though, nasty snarky little things they are.
