I'm amazed at how many people have the wrong idea...

When you train a dog properly there is no Territorial issues or dogs snapping at each other, everything is in harmony when things are done right. These dogs you keep mentioning have serious mental problems, it sounds funny but it's true and it can happen when they don't know who is in control of their life from the owner. I agree the dogs are big and hard to control when they go after a person but it's the owners fault when this happens.

Yes, we should all assume that every single dog owner in the whole country is an avid dog owner who devotes their life to the most sophisticated and thorough training they have at their disposal. Here is an example of the dog training that most people give their dogs.
"Spot, here is your food bowl"
"Spot, here is your crate"
"Spot, here is where you ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---"
Done, and done.

They NEED to put in the time or they should no be allowed to own a dog, especially a pit bull or other big dogs. When a dog gets out of control the owner is responsible. You gotta take responsibility with these dogs, they are not a toy and just like a child they need direction and need to know what is required of them by you taking charge and leading them, yes by leading.

Show me a professional trainer who will substantiate that ridiculous statement.
In conversations with several trainers, I have been told that at best you can suppress and (better) redirect the instinctual responses. And that, for certain, there are going to be pairs of dogs that will not get along.
How extensive is your dog-training experience ? Do you do that on the side ?
I'd hate to think that you will have to fall back on that when your glass business goes under ...

Just so you don't think I'm beating up on you for fun ... I agree 100% with everything that you just said.

Plus, you have the wackos that treat pits like fuzzy guns.
In that case, you should euthanize the dog AND the owner.

The other day, I had a small sledge hammer in the car I bought at the harbor freight sidewalk sale. It was handy, so I carried it on our walk. ;D Hell, a stick won't do a damn thing to a monster like that if it comes after you. Having seen video of Pit bull fights, I doubt even a sledge hammer would help me much.
This weekend, I am going to the flea market to get one of those stun batons for my wife to carry. The sound of that thing will probably be enough to make any dog stop and rethink their priorities.
And yes, amazingly our county does not have a leash law. Even if our homeowners association enacted one, it would be completely unenforceable due to the county situation.
