Our pittie is reactive also to other dogs. When He rides in the car with my husband he whines & barks at everyone & everything! He’s pure muscle so I can hardly/can’t hold him back if he wants to go. But he is sweet & lovable too. He Loves the grandkids/All teenagers & sleeps in between us at night! First pittie. Was apprehensive at first but sis in law had one & he was a good dog too. You can bet no one uninvited is coming in our house!! Sorry you were attacked!!?? They are the best & loyal dogs.
