A shame?

[Esse818]

Well i know that my dog can fight ive seeing her a couple of time but today my little sister said that my pit got out and started barking but as soon as the dog barked back she ran to my sister. I confused because my little sister said she called her so i dont know she a bitch or shes a good listener. But every time we pass a dog barking behind the fince she walks faster. I spoil her a lot so i think i messed her up, and have to tuffing her up again. What do you guys think?

[simms]

I think you need to revamp your post......*shaking head*LOL

[MR BIGGS]

I would say just let the dog be a dog and do what dogs do. No need to "toughing her up". My female runs from dogs behind fences or dogs put up. I can even trust her not to run twoards other dogs or people, but if another dog invades her space it's a wrap, she's really a cannon waiting on someone to pull the string and I know it for a fact. You know what they say, the more love you give'em the more they do for you.

There's not much advice to give because you are asking how to make your dog tougher which is kinda ummmm retoricle because these dogs are naturally tough and rugged especially compared to other breeds, so just continue to encourage good behavior and be the Alpha.

[simms]

lol im been doing it for a while. Alrighty then....I got your question...LOL

[MR BIGGS]

Clearly you shouldn't unless you want a dangerous dog and that's obviously not the case or you wouldn't be asking right?
nah that wasn't the question on how but should i? i was happy that she didn't attack, don't need a another law suit.

[StraightGame]

i agree with them all.

[14rock]

I spoil her a lot so i think i messed her up, and have to tuffing her up again. What do you guys think?Come on, I was beginning to think you are a logical fellow, that is absolute garbage right there!

[Valley.Princess]

my dog doest run she just stops and shows her scary hairs ... thats what i call the hairs that stand up on her back



ill say she prolly a good listener...

[Esse818]

Come on, I was beginning to think you are a logical fellow, that is absolute garbage right there! you got a point, It's that i'm a realy confused i think i spoiled her to much. true pits aren't scared im trying to keep it that way.

[Esse818]

ill say she prolly a good listener...thats when ppl start to think, when they just grow.

[Suki]

however your dog chooses to act will be in a manner that's innate to her, and it will come naturally. No need, imo, to do anything. And with this breed especially, no need to "toughen " 'em up.

...there's already enuogh "grief" attached, unnecessarily to them...:(
and no, you most definitly do NOT need a Law Suit!!!;)

NONE of us does...

[LuvinBullies]

nah that wasn't the question on how but should i? i was happy that she didn't attack, don't need a another law suit.
Another law suit? What's the problem here? Lawsuits and this breed are not exactly what we need more of. What happened??????

Indulge me. Exactly how does one go about "tuffing..er...toughing" up one's dog? That statement I believe is the garbage Rock was speaking of. Not the fact of you "spoiling" her. How do you usually "toughen 'em up?"

You came off at first as a okay dude, now this thread you started bothers me a bit, at least the way you've chosen to word things. You realize that kind of talk isn't wise don't you?

Damn right you don't need another lawsuit. WE don't need you to have another one, and neither does your dog.

[purplepig]

Ah........ I....can't believe your mind would go there, from what you have posted before. You can mess the dog up by putting it through too much too early. I am assuming the dog is less than 2? Even if not, if the dog is grown and currs to another, there is only one way to test it, game test with a "hog"(for hunting purposes only) and see if it will not go with the hog. Then you will know if you have a pet dog, or a pit dog. Very well bred pups can, and do, turn out to be pet dogs at times. It is just a fact.

But I have to ask, are you wanting a pet, or a pit. Dont get offended, think about it. There is nothing wrong with having pet dogs. This breeds makes the best pet IMHO. I myself have both. I have dogs on my yard, then I have pet dogs. The reason I ask is this, if it is a pit dog you want, then you must test it and be prepared to make an honest evaluation of the dog and take necessary steps, depending upon the outcome. If the dog is young, and for some reason I am thinking this, DO NOT TEST THE DOG TOO EARLY!!(read that part 4 times!!) Some folks help their dogs turn on, myself, I let them turn on on their own. During the time from birth till they do turn(unless the dog is cold) you should work on building confidence, not "tuffening her up", whatever that means.

Hey tell me something, just what do you mean by that anyway? That "tuffening her up"? Also, many great pit dogs have slept in the bedroom with their owners, and sat on the couch also. So spoiling the dog in that sense wouldn't "mess" the dog up. So much of this is genetic.
Please answer my question.

I made ex girl friends, and friends jealous of this dog. me spending time with her is why you dont hear shooting all over the places, stores roped and toke me off the streets(well realy not really).

yeah maybe "tuffing" is not the correct word.
I think I get what you're trying to say. Showing love and "spoiling" a dog will not "weaken" it and make it "softer". Just be sure that you're the one always in control=you are the alpha, and as mentioned let "nature take its course".
It sounds like you do both a lot with her and for her. :cool:
Just remember the rest of us owners who are also gunna "take the fall" should you slip, and PLEASE act as a responsible owner. That's all I can ask...

that's what I like to hear!

[Attila]

Actually I wouldn't put much thought into it. I have 16 spoiled rotten dogs. Never had one single probem with cur caused from spoiling a dog. Loyalty is what you would get. Now spoiling with human food or too many treats may be bad but not with love and attention. If you change your tone with the dog you're just going to confuse her. She is a pretty little dog and looks happy to be there. Your dog will turn in time most likely. And really no matter what you do she will turn out to be the dog she is meant to be. And a dog will behaive different for other people. They read your reactions and temperment too. Your dog will not likely do for your sister as it will for you. You really have to be careful how you allow her to act in public and if she avoids public aggression your are better off in the long run. She will persiveer in time of need don't you worry on that. It is just nature. Don't push what will be naturally. By the way I like that yard. I would like to put up a 8 foot fence built the same way. Except with a electric wire 8'' above it so if some one tries it they fry like a peice of bacon and fall on the sharp points. Out side of the milk jug it looks very manacured and comfortable. Can picture setting at that table driking a cold one playing cards and conversating trade.

[2gk]

Y was your dog allowed to get out anyway thats just an accident waiting to happen. Your dog tough or not will be no good if it gets euthanized be more careful and like someone else stated if you got a pet who cares if its a cur spay it and call it a day if its a hunting dog do the right thing

You said you had tickets from the past? What for...not a problem anymore I hope.
As far as your dog keeping you off the streets- good show. No way to live, being a criminal or a bad person. I'm glad you have a special bond with your dog- she's plenty tough if she's keeping you in line! LOL:D

[Attila]

Hell we all have a past. No point digging at it. We all learn from our mistakes.

[bahamutt99]

I wouldn't worry about any toughening. Socialize her and try to keep her out of the situations that seem to be making her nervous. Confidence will come with age and exposure to positive situations while limiting the negative.

I may do that. I am planning a trip out that way for my birthday. Figured it is time to drive and fish the ocean see the sand and all. Visit some friends and just chill.
