Humans with bad temperaments often are amenable to rational discussion and calming words. A dog in an attacking frame of mind is another matter.
Is that true? Are violent individuals in our jails and prison proportional to violent dogs quarantined? Humans are much more dangerous by far. My point being that I am tired of rottweillers being lumped into the dangerous dog category due to unfounded fear of the breed. While other breed are much more likely to be a danger to the community.
The main problem is many people have these dogs and are not capable of controlling them. I am in the process of purchasing a German Shepherd that will be trained for Shuzhund (if I spelled that correctly). These dogs are tough as nails but are totally under the control of the handler. They won’t make a move unless commanded to do so. There’s a big difference in these dogs if the owner doesn’t know how to handle them.
