Comment on Pit Bulls: True or False? by Steven

I absolutely love pit bulls! I’ve owned a lot of different dogs in my life, with two of them being pits (one right now), and they are definitely two of the best for sure. In fact, I doubt I will ever get another breed of dog again other than American Pit Bull Terriers… that’s how great I think they are. Thanks for helping to get the truth out about these amazing dogs. Awesome post!

Hey I have a German Shepherd, he turned a year old today. He is a good dog but last night he attacked my little brother who is 11 years old. He has never even growled at anyone in our family. Now he is growling at my little brother whenever he sees him. He has never been teased or beaten, we take care of our dog. What can you tell me about this?
Thanks Jacob

@Thomas:

You don’t need me to tell you where you went wrong. You already said it in your comment… Teasing a dog to make him growl and come close to attacking because you think it’s fun is just asking for him to actually attack you at some point. Your brother could have been seriously injured and it’s his own fault.

You should NEVER tease any dog for any reason!

First of all, it’s just plain mean to tease them and secondly it’s a good way to become the victim of a dog attack even if you didn’t think the dog would ever actually do it.

A little common sense can go along way in preventing dog attacks!

Hello, thanks for the info.
I have a question: My brother always teases my Dogo Argentino (he is 2 years old now) he has been teasing him for a year and a half, he gets a kick out of seeing the dog and hearing the dog growl without biting, and when I’m ready to leave and the dog is in the car my brother provokes him to attack but shuts the back door and opens the front door while my dog is trying to get him, then I leave. My brother is the only one who ever teases him, I know he loves dogs but out of our own ignorance he attacked him and tore a big hole in his arm, I got the dog off right away but it was to late to avoid any damage. Now looking back we should have known that it was wrong. I learned that you should never tease a dog especially when it’s warning you. IS THAT RIGHT?? And please help me to understand where we went wrong? Thank you so much.

* Any dog, treated harshly or trained to attack, may bite a person.

* Any dog can be turned into a dangerous dog. The owner or handler most often is responsible for making a dog into something dangerous and attack prone.

* An irresponsible owner or dog handler might create a situation that places another person in danger by a dog, without the dog itself being dangerous. Example: Leaving an infant alone with a dog.

* Any individual dog may be a good and loving even though its breed is considered to be potentially dangerous. A responsible owner can win the love and respect of a dog, no matter its breed. You cannot look at an individual dog, recognize its breed, and then say whether or not it is going to attack.
