People tend to abuse pitbulls because they think they're mean right off the bat.
They aren't, they just need good training and strong discipline -- the pitbulls I've met have been far sweeter than most neighborhood dogs so far. Only huskies, German Shepherds, golden retrievers and dachshunds have been friendlier
We lived on a dead end street and it was wonderful, the kids could play and not worry. I had a big German shepherd that would sit on the porch and guard the kids. I was a lineman for many years and would have to access utilities through people’s back yards. 99.9% of the time if you ignore even the meanest dogs and be firm they just don’t know what to do with you, “this guy doesn’t give a shit, I don’t know what to do”. If there is one exception it’s a German Shepherd, they will hide behind a garage for example and sneak attack you, very smart and cunning. I was always very cautious around them. If you are ever attacked by a dog, line up with them, stand your ground. Then give them your hand and shove it down their throat and and grab them by the scruff of their neck, they will not bite but back off, shove even harder. The dog will figure it out real quick and run off.
I like to take the biting the back of the neck with my hand approach, I assume you are talking about biting the throat with your fingers & not putting your hand in their mouth to the throat right?
OMG huskies. I have a husky/australian shepherd mix and she's never met a stranger. Even introduced herself to our neighbors across the street by jumping into their car with them one afternoon.
Huskies are amazing dogs who are supposedly "aggressive" but really the breed is just prone to mouthing to show affection and people are either too sensitive to understand the difference or the owners got them at 7/8 weeks (depending on area) and didn't spend the time to teach them bite inhibition.
They're amazing but huskies are NOT guard dogs, because they will silently stare out windows at everyone and if someone comes up to them they are super friendly.
That's hilarious that your pupper did that, I'd be terrified haha.
My girl only gets scared of children who run up at her, she doesn't bite or anything but she steps back. Most children in my neighborhood don't do this though, they ask if they can say hi and she is made to sit or down before they approach.
Love dogs. Even if they can be a bit tough in the beginning.
Dachshunds have the highest incidence of reported bites.
Owners consistently put the dog in the alpha position (ie carry them, putting the dog on top & in front). Pack leaders don't ask permission to bite.
Dachshunds have an aggressive tendency, but a lot of owners don't know how to train them.
Also, for some reason dog owners don't spend any time to socialize dogs to new situations, different people, etc. so you can really tell who has taken the time and who hasn't.
My area has like 10 dachshunds that waddle down the street every day and all of them are really good dogs, if a bit mischievous.
I live in an area with really high rate of dog ownership.
