As a pit bull mommy and a pit bull grandmommy this article is right on target. Good training and owner responsibility is a must.
My pup is loved by all the neighbors because he is a good dog. He’s good because he understands the rules and the consequences for disobeying. I’m a small 5 ft tall woman and he’s a 70 old muscle and he knows I’m the alpha. Actually, our 40 lb 8 yr old daughter has the best success when getting him to do things.
Euthanize all pit bulls!
“...but many pet parents...”
It’s so pathetic when dog owners compare their pet to having a child. I have no problem with owning a dog, just don’t tell me it’s even in the same league of responsibility as being a parent.
>>but many pet parents<<
This terminology bothers me to no end.
It belittles my dog (who is an adult dog and not a human child)
It belittle my cat (who is an adult cat and not a human child)
And it belittles human children by putting them on the same level as animals.
A friend of mine who was adopted and loved her 5 cats and 6 dogs, HATED the term “adopting” pets. She stated many a time that if one took a human child and set him/her out in the woods, that child would die. If one took an adult dog or cat and set them out in the woods, they would most likely survive. They are not adopted, they are owned and there is nothing wrong with that.
Our pets share our lives. We should let them have the dignity of their species.
did anyone ping chet yet?!?
Also use these with lots of love...you'll end up with a great dog!
