Training Aggressive Dog – Serious issue with Pit Bulls and other

Hello. You have seen the scenario where someone is walking in the park with their cute puppy on a leash. As you walk towards it you can see it's joy in living each and every second as its tail starts wagging at high speed.

Seconds later, however as you are twenty or thirty meters away you and every one else hears a high pitch yapping and you turn already knowing with horror as you hear the deep throated roar that that little puppy that you just passed is in some serious trouble. Perhaps even its owner is not able to extricate it from the problem.

There are a myriad of reasons for what we call bad behavior on the part of canines. Inbreeding, bad upbringing, chronic damage such as poor dental health. Any of these can be contributing factors as to why a dog would suddenly go off in a public area.

A few weeks ago, as I was petting the head of the dog a few doors down, my neighbor recounted this story about this half puppy half wolf.

A little less than a year prior, he had chained his big wolf puppy to the tail gate of his chevy pickup. He had then gone inside for lunch while the puppy played outside. He says he wasn't inside more than about 15 minutes before a deep snarl and a shout caused him to run to the front door.

A pitbull was running full out at highspeed with its owner running behind holding an empty leash. The pitbull crossed his front lawn in the blink of an eye and was airborne before anyone could as much as move a few feet. His own puppy backed up against the vehicle and waited silent and expectently for the rushing pitBull.

What happened next was more of a blur, but as he describes it the pitBull jumped and was airborne and in attack mode in no time at all. The waiting half wolf had expected this and when the pitbull grabbed for where the puppy's throat was, it got nothing but air. On landing, the pitbull tried to launched itself yet again but the puppy was already above it in the air and promptly seized the pitbull's throat as it attempted to shake it into submission.

The half puppy did a very adult thing. With astonishing strength it growled and thew the pitbull about 6 feet away.

I am told that the angry pitbull didn't have 3 feet properly on the ground before it promptly launched itself yet again at the half puppy. This time meaning to surprise it. However, everyone was surprised when the puppy itself met the pitBull midway and without ado simply snapped its neck. There was a kind of silence that one hears when everyone is holding their breath.

The whole thing couldn't have taken more than 5 seconds, both owners were shocked and stupified. The half wolf puppy backed away from the still body of the pitBull and sank down as its eyes looked around at the by then growing audience.

Its not my position to judge as to what was right and wrong about this. We were told however that the pit bull had attacked a youth in the preceding year and that it and or its owner was under some kind of suspension while its case was being decided. Normally, it would have been put down or something, but witnesses didn't all tell the same story so...

Nature does what nature does, and its sometimes sad when its your dog that has been put down, even though you know it may have been its fault but still...
