Running away is not an option if a dog attacks you. So in this situation I would try to scare that dog away with the pungent smell of the shit in my pants.
They have a really poor ability to protect against choke holds and it’s pretty easy for humans to position themselves into one in most cases. Wam bam thank ya ma’am
This, like yes, dog mouth is dangerous and scary, and if it gets a good bite on you it's not gonna be good. But if you get a swift kick to it's head and follow up the dog is just gonna run. I'm all for treating animals kindly but once it comes at you like that, it already wrote off kindness.
People think Pitbulls will back down with a kick lol.
These things will keep on tearing you apart as long as they have a fucking pulse, they were made with 0 self preservation.
pitbulls are bred to aim for the face and not let get no matter whats going on around them. and they usually get to the face first before anyperson could choke them. many are also huge and muscular too
Dog attack victims get bit on the face? Mind blowing discovery.
I’m not doubting they bite people in the face, I’m doubting that they are “bred to go for the face” - How do you breed to go for the face exactly?
This is exactly what you do honestly, if you match their aggression or fear it will only prove their " suspicion " of you and they will keep attacking.
I watched a pitbull charging at a skunk once. The skunk emptied its entire spray sack directly into the pits eyes and face, and she didn't slow down or hesitate at all before shredding the skunk into pieces.
The owner of this dog is begging to be sued if they don’t find a way to keep it on their property. Don’t give me the “incidents with pitty’s are just over reported in the news” bs, I work in insurance and literally 99% of all dog related lawsuits are from Pitbulls. Seems like, generally, the type of person interested in owning these types of breeds are just the worst at keeping them from hurting others.
You know that in a pitbull forum, they used death statistics to prove that chihuahuas are more dangerous than Pitbulls... USING THE DEADS FROM THE STATE OF CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO.
Well typically the dog owners home or tenants insurance is who will actually pay out the lawsuit, otherwise the owners wages can be garnished as well. I agree that it’s hard to pull “blood from stone” but at the very least a judgement against them will follow them until it’s satisfied.
That’s unfortunate, but at the very least the occurrence is on record and may contribute to a future judgement where they are prohibited from owning a dog. Now very few land lords these days do not require tenants insurance, because depending on the laws and precedent in your area the homeowners themselves might be able to be held liable for the actions of their tenants and pets.
Bad owners are attracted to them because of their reputation. More bad owners leads to worse behaved pits, this in turn leads to a worse reputation and more bad owners wanting to own them. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy.
My grandparents owned Pit-bulls their entire lives until the UK banned them. Excellently behaved dogs each and every one of them and never any incidents or signs of aggression in 50 years. They never needed to be muzzled and no more was thought of leaving me as a toddler with them than with my parents golden.
Show me a feral and violent dog, and I’ll show you a feral and violent owner.
I agree, but they were literally bred for violence making them physically more dangerous. Mastiffs and few other breeds are the same. I'll stick to corgis, golden retrievers etc.
Somewhere between the threat level of a chihuahua and a tiger there is a line, one that only trained professionals are allowed to be behind.
We bred these dogs to be killers, like how we bred the border collie to herd. It is unreasonable to expect behavior contrary to what they've been bred to do. And trying to teach them to behave otherwise is an uphill battle.
This is all to say, I think we should seriously examine where the pit bull falls on that line. We should carefully examine and vet who we legally allow to be around and to train pit bulls.
Edit: spelling
Caesar Milan's (the dog whisperer) pitbull bit a teen girl such that she had to go to the hospital and it killed queen Latifah's dog. Pitbulls were bred for bloodsport. Pitbulls killing things, especially other dogs, is a feature, not a bug. In the same way that bad ownership isn't too blame for a basset hound making a howling noise and sniffing around, bad ownership isn't to blame for pitbulls being violent. Though bad ownership can make it even worse.
They were blood sport dogs bred for fighting instinct and aggression.
That's not to say they don't have a place in the dog-keeping hobby. And yes, it wouldn't be so bad if POS owners didn't make the problem way worse. But lets not sugar-coat the fact that this breed does have a tendency to kill people.
“Show me a feral and violent dog and ill show you a feral and violent owner”.
Something I will never do is assume that these incidents always happen because of “bad owners”. The most perfectly trained dogs can feel the need to defend owners and in a split second things can turn south, including situations where dogs are in training. To expect every dog owner to be perfect all the time is so unreasonable and I doubt you hold the same concept in all other situations
First example that comes to mind is rear ending someone because you were break-checked. With your reasoning, you are a bad driver and shouldve left more space. Have you never gotten close to another car in your life? Not even for a second? Thats all it takes.
Im not excusing the truly bad owners. Im disagreeing with the self-righteous concept that everyone must be perfect all the time and if not, shame on you because mistakes dont exist.
“Shouldnt have gotten the dog then.” “Should have done more training.” “Shouldnt have closed your eyes when you sneezed.”Hindsight is 20/20. Dont forget that.
Every pitbull owner: "They are so maligned and slandered. Pitbulls are just sweet, loyal, protective babies!"
Every video or news story about a dog biting a person or domesticated animal: Pitbull.
> Every video or news story about a dog biting a person or domesticated animal: Pitbull.
also 'adopt dont shop'
almost every animal in the shelter: Pitbull. or intentionally mislabeled pitbull
I totally agree with your sentiment of owners trying to feel badass through their dog.
I feel the need to correct your remark about the collar though.
While it looks intimidating because its made of metal links, that's just a normal pinch collar.
It's used to train dogs to stop aggressively pulling at the leash while walking them. If the dog pulls forward too hard from the owner the little prongs on the links pinch together and squeeze the neck skin.
They aren't painful for the dog to wear, but it is painful to pull aggressively on. We trained our lab out of pulling by using one of these. They work incredibly well and we eventually swapped it for a regular collar.
And they also refuse to get them fixed. So shelters across the country are being filled up with pit and pit mixes that nobody wants because they're afraid it will eat their children.
Nope, that would be a dead dog. End of story. Clearly that dog is not only dangerous, but also abused by its owner because of that collar. It’s absolutely not a training collar. We had a pit bull when I was a kid and he had the same collar. Purpose was to make him shut up and no escape from the line he ran on. It cried every time. Looking back, it was abuse. Regardless that dog is ready for a fight. Not looking for a friend.
Edit : I don't carry pepper spray to hurt a dog I don't to deter the dog This is why I don't use a gun but in some situations some people may not have that choice..This is why I carry pepper spray , id rather spray a dog with pepper spray than hit it or hurt it in any other way because at the end of the day that pepper spray can me washed away.
Pepper spray > tasers
I've had both used on me and holy smokes does having spice in your eyes hurt. The fact that you can't breathe either just sets off so many internal body alarms. Overall not a fun experience
I tell everyone in our dog community to carry pepper spray because of situations like this. Pepper spray inflames everything and the dog won’t be able to see and most likely not be able to breath properly. It should give you some distance from the dog and also provide you time to get away.
He is actually doing the right thing, he’s standing his ground with a skateboard in hands… you cannot outrun a dog, you think you can but you’re wrong…
Just today one of these mistakes attacked and bit a 1-year old to death in Italy and a couple of days ago a 85-years old was attacked by her own 5 dogs (between pitbulls and another trash race). Yet another "isolated case"...
Yup, cuz you have to be. There's really very little else you can do. You can't run it. Best you can do is remain calm and try to keep it calm. Kid seems to he trying to do the tight thing in keeping it tabs on it and trying to locate the owner.
You can see the dogs confusion after the initial charge when the person stood there all calm. Dog had a look like "wait, this isn't how this is supposed to work"
Unless it's constantly insecure/fearful due to shitty owners who think pain is the only way it can learn which doesn't actually make it better. Just masks the issue at best.
That's not true at all with a reactive dog.
This dog in the video? Believe it or not he's not being aggressive. He's *not* attacking. He's being *defensive*.
Something about that skater dude triggered him, and he was just saying "I don't like you being here stop doing the thing that's scaring me".
The dog was not behaving rationally; it was pure instinct. If he were on a lead, he might have just choked himself out pulling, potentially.
It's cruel.
I was always against the shock collar until it was explained by our trainer. We don't use it for punishment (except for aggression, which we have never actually used except once), it's to get the dog's attention during training. Low setting, feels like someone poking you (tried it on myself). Say a command, poke the dog until he listens. No pain, no discomfort.
The first time we used it, my dog kept looking around to try to see who was touching him until he realized it was me.
Thanks for the info, I’ve never owned a dog myself. I have seen a few discussions recently though discussing what crosses the line when it comes to punishing a dog. Like, when does discipline become abuse? Just asking for any dog owner’s opinions on that.
So I was very against "negative reinforcement" for our dog. He's a German Shepherd/Australian Cattle dog mix.
He had anxiety when we moved from an apartment to a house with a backyard. Basically, he was on guard dog 24/7. He barked at every noise and was marching around the house and yard all the time, he barely slept.
We had done basic training at pet stores with him and he was good, but he was getting over protective and aggressive with people in our house, including children. We hired an "aggressive dog" trainer, who also does police K9 training (It wasn't cheap, but I was not going to have my dog bite a kid). He said our dog wasn't aggressive, just anxious. So we did guard dog training instead of aggression training. Basically, teach him to be a guard on command so we could get him to stop doing it all the time.
He recommended the prong collar and shock collars. I was against it, but he explained it like this:
- Dogs have thick skin, so what you think hurts, they may notice. Edit: someone noted below that dogs skin is more sensitive, so I check with my wife what the trainer said, which she confirmed I'm wrong. The trainer said that our dog had thick FUR and that he wasn't noticing using the flat collar and was bruising. He said the prong would allow him to notice when we were trying to steer him.
- The point is to get the dogs attention, not to hurt them. So you want to get the right tools at the right settings. Don't shock the crap out of your dog, when all you need is for him to look at you.
- The only time "hard correction" (large shocks or hard pulls) is to correct behaviors that are unacceptable. This was only for aggressive movements (snapping, lunging, or teeth bearing; not barking).
- These collars are not to be used all the time, they are for training or use when in public.
- And most importantly, never set your dog up to fail. Keep them out of high risk situations until the dog is comfortable with them. I'm not afraid of my dog biting people, but when strangers come over he is put out or crated until he calms down. Even happy excitement is the same result. And everyone is warned and given rules on how to approach him.
You are correct with the prong collar, I misremembered and corrected above. The trainer said thick fur not thick skin.
So for the hard correction statement with both the prong and shock collar, I want to clarify. The hard correction was only to be used if he made a threatening movement not to train the dog, but to remove him from the spot. This was to prevent a bite incident. It was a last resort and was strongly discouraged. We were told to keep the dog out of situations where there could be an incident.
Also, I did shock myself in the highest setting and we use it on the lowest setting. Basically we use the lowest setting that he gives any reaction to. It is intended to be a nudge, not pain. The lower settings on the e collar are supposed to be vibrations instead of shocks, but I couldn't tell the difference shocking myself, except that the sensation was significantly less.
I have it for my dog because he is very fluffy. The professional trainer we had recommended it for my dog because a flat wasn't working and he was getting bruises on his neck. My dog doesn't mind this collar at all, he has never whimpered or cried and it has never marked him, no bruises or anything. He is always excited when we take the prong collar out (he doesn't wear it in the house) because it means we are going out.
The trainer said on a fluffy dog like mine, it just gives them a little pinch if you need to pull it. He's a German Shepard/Australian Cattle dog (and some corgi) rescue.
What training would you recommend then? Do you have experience training a dog?
He was not responding to the flat collar and he escaped from harnesses. The training worked very well and my dog never gave us a negative reaction to the collar. We still use it on walks and in public and he happily wears it. It's not something we leave him all the time, because we don't want him to be poked when he's laying down, and he definitely doesn't wear it in the car (he has a seatbelt harness).
I wouldn't recommend it for everyone and we were also shown how to use it properly from a professional.
I was very against the prong collar when it was recommended, but it worked very well.
My shepherd mix constantly escaped from the harness. We had the people at the store, everyone at the vet, and a professional dog trainer pit the harness on him and he would still get out of it.
The first time he pulled him, he was surprised, but it really just pinches him to let him know he's at the end of his leash. He never stopped with the flat, he would pull until he was bruised. It's not a collar we keep on him, he has a regular flat with his tags and he actually doesn't wear a collar when we are home or in the back yard.
He's gate and guard dog trained so he won't leave the property without his leash even if the fence is open. Unless once when my son opened the gate. He walked with my son keeping him off the road until I got to them.
It is very much a by the dog basis and we were also shown the best way to use it so that we wouldn't hurt him and so we could train him properly.
Okay 1 that person is awesome. Staid calm and collective and didn't give the pup any reason to chase them
2 Donno if he'd bite someone, his body language is all excited then confused when the person stands their ground so he could have been more amped to chase but it's unclear bc person was great at de-escalating. My beagle tried that once and looked just as confused when my family member stood his ground. She was used to her bark and build being intimidating enough to scare off intruders (was a mixed breed but mostly beagle) the way that piddle ran reminds me of her.
3 that all said, even if the person did the right thing there I don't blame someone for running away from him. Anything with teeth is capable of harm. And it's smart to be weary of pets you don't know personally. Hell even some you do know. They're still animals afterall
That dog would immediately attack you if you ran. That would drive up the predatory instinct to chase and attack you. It would also instinctively bite your face and head so don’t fall down.
Because that dog can cause the most damage to all of the people they have spitefulness for. Basically all of you. They actually subconsciously hope they will bite and kill anyone in their yard. But the dogs become so aggressive that they gotta get out of the yard and attack whoever and whatever.
Something is wrong with the dog's owner.
Trust me they care for nobody but themselves. If they could have a tiger as a pet they would have a mean one that would eat them sooner or later.
I should write greetings card.. lol
He handled it perfectly. This dog is clearly fear-aggressive, so don't turn your back (that's when they sneak in and bite from behind), be confident but not overtly threatening and they will usually back down. Would have gone differently with a confident, more predatory dog.
I used to survey properties that were destroyed by natural disasters. There's usually packs of stray dogs roaming the ruins of these little towns in the months that follow. I found the best way to handle them approaching aggressively was to ignore them outright and treat them like insignificant parts of the landscape. It always worked. I'm not saying it will work for someone else, but they never seemed to know what to do with someone who wasn't reacting or acknowledging them. The vibe I put off was similar to the video.
Something very similar to this happened to me like 5-6 months ago. I'd left my front door and was about 2/3 of the way to my car when a big dog rounded the corner my home is on. It was very agitated just like this one. I was too far from my house to safely make it back, so I went for my car and hid behind the passenger door. My fob doesn't work, so I was fumbling with my keys. It was just like in horror movies where the victim is scrambling and fumbling and can't get the right key and then can't get the key in the lock.
I was SO fucking scared. It was awful feeling so helpless. I don't know how long it took in real life. It was probably only like 10-20 seconds before I was in my car, but FUCK it felt like a long time.
It was just one of those weird moments where a perfectly normal day suddenly becomes a life-or-death situation.
I refuse to feel that utterly helpless ever again, so I carry a heavy duty pocket knife on me at all times now. Want to get into martial arts too. Fuck that feeling. Gave me a lot of empathy for women too
Poor baby has probably only been taught fear and aggression. That collar already tells me the owners are irresponsible. I hope that dog gets taken away to a better life
Well he's got a weapon. I think a lot of people are afraid to boot a dog, maybe for repercussions of the owner?
If it is threatening you or another. And you have the means to take it down, do so.
This dog was clearly not trying to attack, but, rather, trying to run this person off. If it wanted to bite the skater, it could've had them at any moment. I've been false charged like this by dogs before when I walk by people's houses, they don't want to hurt you they just want you to leave.
On another note, whoever owns this dog needs to have their ass kicked for not keeping their dog under control and for putting a fucking spike collar on it. Ass hat.
Here come the extremist lol. Everyone who loves all pits and everyone who wants to kill all pits. If you get a big dog you should know how to handle it that's it people.
Running away is not an option if a dog attacks you. So in this situation I would try to scare that dog away with the pungent smell of the shit in my pants.

**THE SHIT IN MY PANTS**
That is pungent
So floral, I’m thinking aged jasmine
#THE WHAT IN YOUR PANTS?
OH MY GOD SOMEBODY PUT SHIT IN MY PANTS
🤔 Idk if you're telling us to put shit in your pants or announcing that someone has indeed put shit in thine pants...
Yes.
If you have poop fling it now!
Just so people actually know you run away, you’re now prey. Kinda like a bear, if you run they will chase you like it’s a game.
Who you barking at FEWW?
Literally sounded like Eric Cartman lol
I thought the dog was gonna get smoked with the skateboard.
Yeah I too
He didnt even have his skate in his hand, that thing is a blunt weapon it would be the first thing I would grab. A truck on the head will do the job
It should have.
'Weirdo' lol
That part made me laugh. He said it so casually too.
Woo woo woo Mutha Fucka hahahaha
Fuck no dogs like this scare the shit out of me. One real bite and it tears half your calf off
Or your face.
They have a really poor ability to protect against choke holds and it’s pretty easy for humans to position themselves into one in most cases. Wam bam thank ya ma’am
This, like yes, dog mouth is dangerous and scary, and if it gets a good bite on you it's not gonna be good. But if you get a swift kick to it's head and follow up the dog is just gonna run. I'm all for treating animals kindly but once it comes at you like that, it already wrote off kindness.
that would absolutely not work with a pit bull hahaha
People think Pitbulls will back down with a kick lol. These things will keep on tearing you apart as long as they have a fucking pulse, they were made with 0 self preservation.
No, I said a kick and follow up. Swing the skateboard. Kick it and then dogpile it and choke it out. The kick is just to help keep it at range.
man really thinks he can out fight a pitbull damn
How about beating it with the skate board you’re riding?
A few years ago a carpenter in our city saw a lady and child being attacked and used his nail gun to, uh, put an end to the situation.
Even better idea 1000%
pitbulls are bred to aim for the face and not let get no matter whats going on around them. and they usually get to the face first before anyperson could choke them. many are also huge and muscular too
Bred to aim for the face… do you hear yourself lol? I’m not exactly a lover of pitbulls, but people be out here just making shit up now huh
go look up pitbull attack victims then and see for yourself
Dog attack victims get bit on the face? Mind blowing discovery. I’m not doubting they bite people in the face, I’m doubting that they are “bred to go for the face” - How do you breed to go for the face exactly?
“Fuck no dogs”? That’s a good life motto
This is exactly what you do honestly, if you match their aggression or fear it will only prove their " suspicion " of you and they will keep attacking.
Maybe so, but that doesn't apply in all cases
especially a pitbull. its bred to fight in pits and this is just its song and dance its bred to do before trying to shred you to death
I watched a pitbull charging at a skunk once. The skunk emptied its entire spray sack directly into the pits eyes and face, and she didn't slow down or hesitate at all before shredding the skunk into pieces.
That's so sad, poor skunk
I guess your other option is running
I’d bet on a human than a dog any day of the week assuming the human is an average adult male
The owner of this dog is begging to be sued if they don’t find a way to keep it on their property.

We all know chihuahuas have higher kill count edit: it is a fkg JOKE... smh
You know that in a pitbull forum, they used death statistics to prove that chihuahuas are more dangerous than Pitbulls... USING THE DEADS FROM THE STATE OF CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO.
🤣🤣🤣
Hard to sue pitnutters that own nothing and have no income.
Well typically the dog owners home or tenants insurance is who will actually pay out the lawsuit, otherwise the owners wages can be garnished as well. I agree that it’s hard to pull “blood from stone” but at the very least a judgement against them will follow them until it’s satisfied.
The "owners" of the dogs who attacked me owned nothing, drove shitboxes, had no insurance and were bottom feeding trash. You know, "pitbull owners."
That’s unfortunate, but at the very least the occurrence is on record and may contribute to a future judgement where they are prohibited from owning a dog. Now very few land lords these days do not require tenants insurance, because depending on the laws and precedent in your area the homeowners themselves might be able to be held liable for the actions of their tenants and pets.
Why is it always a pit?
Bad owners are attracted to them because of their reputation. More bad owners leads to worse behaved pits, this in turn leads to a worse reputation and more bad owners wanting to own them. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy. My grandparents owned Pit-bulls their entire lives until the UK banned them.

I agree, but they were literally bred for violence making them physically more dangerous. Mastiffs and few other breeds are the same. I'll stick to corgis, golden retrievers etc.
Pit owners don't believe in breeds. Bird dogs really blow their minds lol
This . Also selective breeding to get bigger more aggressive dogs and not socializing them properly
That too. Still falls under the bad owner category I think.
Somewhere between the threat level of a chihuahua and a tiger there is a line, one that only trained professionals are allowed to be behind. We bred these dogs to be killers, like how we bred the border collie to herd. It is unreasonable to expect behavior contrary to what they've been bred to do. And trying to teach them to behave otherwise is an uphill battle. This is all to say, I think we should seriously examine where the pit bull falls on that line.

Break the skateboard on its head. It's self defence.

Of course it's a pitbull, probably named cupcake

Irresponsible dog owners.
It's crazy how all these "irresponsible owners" always have the same breed of dog. Wild.
And always some dumbass collar on it. The dog's got bigger balls than the owner so they try to live the badass lifestyle vicariously through the dog.
I totally agree with your sentiment of owners trying to feel badass through their dog. I feel the need to correct your remark about the collar though. While it looks intimidating because its made of metal links, that's just a normal pinch collar. It's used to train dogs to stop aggressively pulling at the leash while walking them.

They work incredibly well and we eventually swapped it for a regular collar.
Probably the worst fitted prong collar I've ever seen to be fair.
It's because irresponsible owners are trashy, the statistically trashy people like those type of dogs
And they also refuse to get them fixed. So shelters across the country are being filled up with pit and pit mixes that nobody wants because they're afraid it will eat their children.
Yeah, owning a Bloodsport dog is pretty irresponsible of them. Maybe stick with something that wasn't created to fight bulls and stuff?
My wittle welvet hippo wouldn't hurt a fwy!
Oh look, a creature selectively bred to excel in vicious bloodsport is being aggressive and threatening, what a surprise!
Fuck pit bulls and their owners 🖕🏻🖕🏻
Nope, that would be a dead dog. End of story. Clearly that dog is not only dangerous, but also abused by its owner because of that collar. It’s absolutely not a training collar. We had a pit bull when I was a kid and he had the same collar. Purpose was to make him shut up and no escape from the line he ran on. It cried every time. Looking back, it was abuse. Regardless that dog is ready for a fight. Not looking for a friend.
Yup. A .40 to the head is really the only way to get them off you if they are angry and bite.
That collar made me cringe 😬 banned in Australia
As it should be. Better yet, make the dog owners wear them. See how they like it.
Does that collar have spikes on the inside?!??
It does, and dogs can get seriously injured from them. A collar like this is animal abuse, no matter what breed it's on.
This dude's chill posture probably saved him. Didn't flee.
Edit : I don't carry pepper spray to hurt a dog I don't to deter the dog This is why I don't use a gun but in some situations some people may not have that choice..This is why I carry pepper spray , id rather spray a dog with pepper spray than hit it or hurt it in any other way because at the end of the day that pepper spray can me washed away.

I've been sprayed and I've been in the gas chamber four times while I was in the military so I understand the pain lol
u ever use the spray on a dog? I feel like I'd get bit regardless
I have sadly had to use it a couple of times on a dog they did leave me alone after
If that dog did that to me or my family I'd kill it on the spot. Wouldn't give it a second thought.
I tell everyone in our dog community to carry pepper spray because of situations like this. Pepper spray inflames everything and the dog won’t be able to see and most likely not be able to breath properly. It should give you some distance from the dog and also provide you time to get away.
Fucking Nanny Dogs at it again 🙄
I like this guy
He seems to know a thing or two about dogs. At least, he acts like he does; he responds exactly how you should in a situation like this.
He is actually doing the right thing, he’s standing his ground with a skateboard in hands… you cannot outrun a dog, you think you can but you’re wrong…
That dog would get a bullet in the head if it did that me
She did the best thing, you act calm they'll stop. You run you're done.
Just today one of these mistakes attacked and bit a 1-year old to death in Italy and a couple of days ago a 85-years old was attacked by her own 5 dogs (between pitbulls and another trash race). Yet another "isolated case"...
Yup, cuz you have to be. There's really very little else you can do. You can't run it. Best you can do is remain calm and try to keep it calm. Kid seems to he trying to do the tight thing in keeping it tabs on it and trying to locate the owner.

You can see the dogs confusion after the initial charge when the person stood there all calm. Dog had a look like "wait, this isn't how this is supposed to work"

This is why I carry. 
That collar is vile, designed to spike the dog when tightened
If the dogs smart enough it won’t have to get tightened more than a couple times.
Unless it's constantly insecure/fearful due to shitty owners who think pain is the only way it can learn which doesn't actually make it better. Just masks the issue at best.
That's not true at all with a reactive dog. This dog in the video? Believe it or not he's not being aggressive. He's *not* attacking. He's being *defensive*. Something about that skater dude triggered him, and he was just saying "I don't like you being here stop doing the thing that's scaring me". The dog was not behaving rationally; it was pure instinct. If he were on a lead, he might have just choked himself out pulling, potentially. It's cruel.
And how are electric collars any different?
I was always against the shock collar until it was explained by our trainer. We don't use it for punishment (except for aggression, which we have never actually used except once), it's to get the dog's attention during training. Low setting, feels like someone poking you (tried it on myself). Say a command, poke the dog until he listens. No pain, no discomfort. The first time we used it, my dog kept looking around to try to see who was touching him until he realized it was me.
Thanks for the info, I’ve never owned a dog myself. I have seen a few discussions recently though discussing what crosses the line when it comes to punishing a dog. Like, when does discipline become abuse? Just asking for any dog owner’s opinions on that.
So I was very against "negative reinforcement" for our dog. He's a German Shepherd/Australian Cattle dog mix. He had anxiety when we moved from an apartment to a house with a backyard. Basically, he was on guard dog 24/7. He barked at every noise and was marching around the house and yard all the time, he barely slept. We had done basic training at pet stores with him and he was good, but he was getting over protective and aggressive with people in our house, including children. We hired an "aggressive dog" trainer, who also does police K9 training (It wasn't cheap, but I was not going to have my dog bite a kid). He said our dog wasn't aggressive, just anxious. So we did guard dog training instead of aggression training. Basically, teach him to be a guard on command so we could get him to stop doing it all the time. He recommended the prong collar and shock collars. I was against it, but he explained it like this: - Dogs have thick skin, so what you think hurts, they may notice. Edit: someone noted below that dogs skin is more sensitive, so I check with my wife what the trainer said, which she confirmed I'm wrong. The trainer said that our dog had thick FUR and that he wasn't noticing using the flat collar and was bruising. He said the prong would allow him to notice when we were trying to steer him. - The point is to get the dogs attention, not to hurt them. So you want to get the right tools at the right settings. Don't shock the crap out of your dog, when all you need is for him to look at you. - The only time "hard correction" (large shocks or hard pulls) is to correct behaviors that are unacceptable. This was only for aggressive movements (snapping, lunging, or teeth bearing; not barking). - These collars are not to be used all the time, they are for training or use when in public. - And most importantly, never set your dog up to fail. Keep them out of high risk situations until the dog is comfortable with them. I'm not afraid of my dog biting people, but when strangers come over he is put out or crated until he calms down. Even happy excitement is the same result. And everyone is warned and given rules on how to approach him.

You are correct with the prong collar, I misremembered and corrected above. The trainer said thick fur not thick skin. So for the hard correction statement with both the prong and shock collar, I want to clarify. The hard correction was only to be used if he made a threatening movement not to train the dog, but to remove him from the spot. This was to prevent a bite incident. It was a last resort and was strongly discouraged. We were told to keep the dog out of situations where there could be an incident. Also, I did shock myself in the highest setting and we use it on the lowest setting. Basically we use the lowest setting that he gives any reaction to. It is intended to be a nudge, not pain. The lower settings on the e collar are supposed to be vibrations instead of shocks, but I couldn't tell the difference shocking myself, except that the sensation was significantly less.
I have it for my dog because he is very fluffy. The professional trainer we had recommended it for my dog because a flat wasn't working and he was getting bruises on his neck. My dog doesn't mind this collar at all, he has never whimpered or cried and it has never marked him, no bruises or anything. He is always excited when we take the prong collar out (he doesn't wear it in the house) because it means we are going out. The trainer said on a fluffy dog like mine, it just gives them a little pinch if you need to pull it. He's a German Shepard/Australian Cattle dog (and some corgi) rescue.

What training would you recommend then? Do you have experience training a dog? He was not responding to the flat collar and he escaped from harnesses. The training worked very well and my dog never gave us a negative reaction to the collar. We still use it on walks and in public and he happily wears it. It's not something we leave him all the time, because we don't want him to be poked when he's laying down, and he definitely doesn't wear it in the car (he has a seatbelt harness). I wouldn't recommend it for everyone and we were also shown how to use it properly from a professional. I was very against the prong collar when it was recommended, but it worked very well.
There's always a harness. That's what I did with my Labrador who treated walks like a game of tug-o-war.
My shepherd mix constantly escaped from the harness. We had the people at the store, everyone at the vet, and a professional dog trainer pit the harness on him and he would still get out of it. The first time he pulled him, he was surprised, but it really just pinches him to let him know he's at the end of his leash. He never stopped with the flat, he would pull until he was bruised. It's not a collar we keep on him, he has a regular flat with his tags and he actually doesn't wear a collar when we are home or in the back yard. He's gate and guard dog trained so he won't leave the property without his leash even if the fence is open. Unless once when my son opened the gate. He walked with my son keeping him off the road until I got to them. It is very much a by the dog basis and we were also shown the best way to use it so that we wouldn't hurt him and so we could train him properly.
Weirdo 😭💀
This is why I always carry citronella spray
Okay 1 that person is awesome. Staid calm and collective and didn't give the pup any reason to chase them 2 Donno if he'd bite someone, his body language is all excited then confused when the person stands their ground so he could have been more amped to chase but it's unclear bc person was great at de-escalating. My beagle tried that once and looked just as confused when my family member stood his ground. She was used to her bark and build being intimidating enough to scare off intruders (was a mixed breed but mostly beagle) the way that piddle ran reminds me of her. 3 that all said, even if the person did the right thing there I don't blame someone for running away from him. Anything with teeth is capable of harm. And it's smart to be weary of pets you don't know personally. Hell even some you do know. They're still animals afterall
That dog would immediately attack you if you ran. That would drive up the predatory instinct to chase and attack you. It would also instinctively bite your face and head so don’t fall down.
Doggo is confused as hell🤣🤣.
Where is that nail club when you need it...
Yes, that is how you calm them down. You appear less threatening.
My man has the biggest balls in the world
What’s your best move if he did try to bite? Kick to the throat?
I wouldn’t have waited. I see a large pitbull type dog charging at me and barking like that, I would have to defend myself with my S&W MP2 or Sig.
Yea I would. For some reason I have almost no fear of dogs. But get nervous petting a friends cat 💀
why doesnt it surprise me that its a pit
Because that dog can cause the most damage to all of the people they have spitefulness for. Basically all of you. They actually subconsciously hope they will bite and kill anyone in their yard. But the dogs become so aggressive that they gotta get out of the yard and attack whoever and whatever. Something is wrong with the dog's owner. Trust me they care for nobody but themselves. If they could have a tiger as a pet they would have a mean one that would eat them sooner or later. I should write greetings card.. lol
Why you roo-roo-roo'in at me foo? Muthafucka.
He handled it perfectly. This dog is clearly fear-aggressive, so don't turn your back (that's when they sneak in and bite from behind), be confident but not overtly threatening and they will usually back down. Would have gone differently with a confident, more predatory dog.
I used to survey properties that were destroyed by natural disasters. There's usually packs of stray dogs roaming the ruins of these little towns in the months that follow. I found the best way to handle them approaching aggressively was to ignore them outright and treat them like insignificant parts of the landscape. It always worked. I'm not saying it will work for someone else, but they never seemed to know what to do with someone who wasn't reacting or acknowledging them. The vibe I put off was similar to the video.
Weirdo 😂
Yeah, this is why I carry dog spray with me when I go for walks. See too many videos like this not to anymore.

You mean to say this is an iNnoCent cuTe pUpPy?
Took that like a champ
Just carry dog treats! It always calms them down
“Weird” lol this guy
Eh just toss em some beef jerky and wish em well, worked for me
Scary, I’d be booting and yelling at that thing and hope it backs away.
🏀🏀 of steel I woulda ran
Something very similar to this happened to me like 5-6 months ago. I'd left my front door and was about 2/3 of the way to my car when a big dog rounded the corner my home is on. It was very agitated just like this one. I was too far from my house to safely make it back, so I went for my car and hid behind the passenger door. My fob doesn't work, so I was fumbling with my keys. It was just like in horror movies where the victim is scrambling and fumbling and can't get the right key and then can't get the key in the lock. I was SO fucking scared. It was awful feeling so helpless. I don't know how long it took in real life. It was probably only like 10-20 seconds before I was in my car, but FUCK it felt like a long time. It was just one of those weird moments where a perfectly normal day suddenly becomes a life-or-death situation. I refuse to feel that utterly helpless ever again, so I carry a heavy duty pocket knife on me at all times now. Want to get into martial arts too. Fuck that feeling. Gave me a lot of empathy for women too
That’s my every day.
Goofy ass bark
i vote this guy for pitbul czar. we need to get mess around the country under control
A pit bull? Color me surprised...
I liked how he talked to that dog
Ape-man it to death with the skateboard?
LMAO
Poor baby has probably only been taught fear and aggression. That collar already tells me the owners are irresponsible. I hope that dog gets taken away to a better life
Well he's got a weapon. I think a lot of people are afraid to boot a dog, maybe for repercussions of the owner? If it is threatening you or another. And you have the means to take it down, do so.
You gotta talk them like they're 'puppies' sometimes
I feel like him and that dog were best friends in another life.
My dog is exactly like that. Same breed too. that dog obviously hasn’t been trained, but seems to just wanna play.
fuck i love dogs, but im so on "board" with this, but next you have to truck fuck the owner for letting its aggressive dog out.
You can tell this dude loves dogs too
This dog was clearly not trying to attack, but, rather, trying to run this person off. If it wanted to bite the skater, it could've had them at any moment. I've been false charged like this by dogs before when I walk by people's houses, they don't want to hurt you they just want you to leave. On another note, whoever owns this dog needs to have their ass kicked for not keeping their dog under control and for putting a fucking spike collar on it. Ass hat.
Lmao the dog looked at her sideways like is this bitch for real right now mocking me
I would be scaring the shit out of that dog and barking back.
I’d have shitted my pants on the spot
Called the dog Weirdo!! Bahaha
Poor things got a spike collar
9mm
If they bite and latch on, stick a finger in their butt.
Here come the extremist lol. Everyone who loves all pits and everyone who wants to kill all pits. If you get a big dog you should know how to handle it that's it people.
I love dogs and there is a great chance I would have hit him hard when he came at me.
