neighbor just reached back, grabbed the dog by the gonads, giving them a hard, quick squeeze, twist and pull. The dogo immediately released his
terrier and seemed to have a particularly difficult time putting any weight on his back legs after that. However he did seem to be still rather ticked
off... |
That's too funny. When you really love your dog or child- you will do anything to get it out of the mouth of a pit bull. Their mouths physically
lock shut- and the finger (and I'll bet your gonad suggestions) will work. That doesn't solve the problem- it just ends the current situation until
the dog does it again.
I do have some people wave their walking sticks at my dogs sometimes on our morning beach walks. Nothing attracts a lab more than someone waving a
stick near the water! They think the dog wants to attack- the dog is hoping for a water-fetch session! Totally different perspectives.
I did physically take a stick out of a ladies hand once who struck my dog with it. I said "gracias" and we used it to play fetch with- she was
stunned. I didn't even look back.
I wasn't as nice to a man who waved a golf club at my dog. I told him exactly where I was going to put that club if he didn't have a golf ball with
him. I'm not always as nice as I'd like to be first thing in the morning before my first pot of coffee...

You and I share the same problem. Dakota (yellow lab) loves to fetch and when down on the beach she thinks everybody wants to play with her. If
somebody waves a stick or leans down to pick up a rock she just wags her tail in excitement thinking the game is about to begin. I have had to
intervene several times and it has taken a lot of restraint on my part at times in the face of some folks ignorance...

I am not going to defend all pitbulls because lets face it, some are dangerous. Just like I am not going to defend all dogs of any
other breed either. Hell Chihuhuas are known to be one of the most vicious. They just lack the strength and size of more "dangerous" dogs.

I don't think anybody would fear an approaching, growling, foaming at the mouth chihuahua nearly as much as an approaching pit bull that stares you in
the eyes.
Just a plain fact...

One of the sweetest dogs at the san diego dog park I frequent is a pit. It's the owners- not the breed.

That may be one of the methods but, they have others more cruel than I care to imagine. One being, ground glass in raw hamburger meat. Shreds them
from the inside out.
Jeezo....If you want to kill a dog, kill it. Don't torture it.

Some of the latest suggestions have me confused. Are you suggesting making love, not war? That is a lot of groping being bandied about!

Yup, they WERE plastic. Marley has nothing on my yellow lab and it wouldn't have taken 17 dogs to play him.
That new mug shot avatar is scary. I'm sure I've seen it on TSG or something. That photo is another reminder of why I don't drink in public.

I know, I use it to remind me too. Could you imagine the reaction of his fans if he walked out on stage looking like that???

A woman out walking her small dog was attacked by a pair of pit bulls Monday in South Bay.
Lawrence Kijanka, 30, told the San Diego Union-Tribune, that he and another good Samaritan rescued the screaming woman, who was on the ground with her
dog on Jefferson near K Street in Chula Vista. The attack took place at about 6:30 a.m. and involved a pair of pit bulls.
"I ran outside in my sweat pants and saw a woman on the ground with blood on her forehead," Kijanka told the paper.
Chula Vista police spokesman Bernard Gonzales confirmed that the attack had taken place, saying that the woman told investigators she picked up her
dog when the animals approached and became aggressive. He said the woman then either fell or was pushed to the ground by the dogs, and she was bitten
on her arms and possibly on the legs. The bites are not believed to have been severe, Gonzales said.
The dogs were later located by animal control officers, who took them to an animal shelter. No decisions have yet been made on what will happen to
them, Gonzalez said, adding that the dogs' owner has been informed about the attack.

The couple of times in my life where I truly felt fear of being attacked by a dog I simply held my ground, put on a face very close to my avatar and
simply ordered the dog to shut up and sit, using both my tone and body language to establish my control. Whether by stupid luck or design, it worked
both times. In fact the first time it happened the dog eventually became part of the family and over time and with training proved to be one of the
best dogs I ever had.
If faced with a pack of dogs I doubt that tactic would stand little chance. (unless it was a pack of vicious chihuahua's)

Last week a pit bull attacked a little dog and when a 12 year old girl (who was walking the little dog) tried to seperate the dogs the pit bull
attacked her. A 10 year old boy who was walking with her put a jujitsu choke hold from behind on the dog and held it for 20 minutes until the cops
arrived. The boy had learned it in his self defense class. They said the dog went limp but did not die. The dog is still being held.
It was here in Bakersfield, CA. Country music west.

I had to pee on my dog to tell him I was the alpha. Less violent and I had to go anyway.
Not much glamor for a rhinestone cowboy- eh?

I have only been bitten by one dog---a three legged chihuahua. And John who worked for a vet when he was in college, has only been bitten by one
dog---a chihuahua in El Rosario---so
So, if we see a pack of chihuahuas coming our way, we are history!

I was walking my 240 lb English Mastiff on the beach in Bahia and we were both attacked by a chihuahua.
Dern was helping a man with a dead horse in Punta Banda and was bitten on the ankle by the man's chihuahua.
Nasty little footballs.

Yea, I have heard that about them little dogs, The difference though is how many headlines have you read of someone being mauled to death by a
chihuahua???
Choosing between a mean looking pit bull and a growling chihuahua I will take my chances with the pint sized version...
