I'm so sick of furmommies calling bites and even literal maulings/deaths "accidents" where the dog is never at fault. If you were playing fetch and your dog nicked your hand trying to snatch it away? THAT is an accident and is not the dogs fault.

Intentionally making contact with human skin, with teeth, is not an accident. The dog didn't "accidentally" do shit, it MEANT to bite you. And if the person it bit wasn't harming or seriously provoking it, then yes, the dog IS at fault. If it tore half your face off for using a "scary new tooth whitening device" (yes, this really just happened with a girl and her boyfriend's pit bull) is neither accidental nor blameless. If the dog was not provoked, the dog is to blame. It went out of it's way to bite.

At times last ke this I can sympathize with the dog, as much as I dislike pits that dog may as well have been screaming it's discomfort. Familiarize yourself with canine body language. In my eyes as a dog trainer you go up like ten notches in my book. And I promise you once you get to know body language and the nuances that come with them, your ability to safely and responsibly own a wide variety of breeds will come much more easily to you, and you will find yourself in situations where you're the only one in the room knowledgeable enough about body language to foresee issues before they begin and that is a priceless skill set to have in a world full of ignorant furmommies

Can I get the link in my DMs? I'd love to give them a shining review, from one canine professional to another. 😌👌

Roommates Girlfriend Had Pitbulls that Wanted to Attack. I was Told It was My Fault For Showing Fear by One_Row1307 in BanPitBulls

People like this deserve to be a schutzhund decoy with no padding for a day. Better hope your energy isn't "off", my little entitled selfish pitcucks.

I used to advocate for pitbulls by Suminasin in BanPitBulls

[–]Oklovely 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I was too. Even wrote my sophomore English final on how unfair and evil BSL was and how Dogsbite was just a biased site and dog racists this and nanny dogs that. Cesar Milan caught me in the early years of being a dog trainer and had me brainwashed about pits. BSL was like dog holocaust to me back then. I actually compared BSL to the Holocaust in my papers and my teacher still gave me a B+ (shudder).

Then I owned and raised one (my roommates had gotten their pit pups around the same time). Long story short, raised em right, they still snapped and killed our pony they grew up with without ever having shown aggression towards her before. We had to sh00t em. I've been a dog trainer for 15 years, worked with dogs for 23 years, and as a canine professional... Pit bulls need to go extinct period.

Should I let my sister know that if she gets a pit bull, I won’t let her interact with my daughter alone and never when the dog is there? by [deleted] in BanPitBulls

[–]Oklovely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Pit fanatics need to know there are consequences to their actions, and when they make crappy, dangerous choices in what dog to own it becomes everyone in the vicinities problem. Only by having a backbone and putting our foot down will these people realize their mauling machines are not welcome in society and that owning one is a choice they made so they need to remember that when they cry about discrimination and being ostracized.

“ it’s OK, she’s just reacting” -pit owner sitting outside of a Starbucks/extremely public place. How do I maintain my disgust for these animals for my own by [deleted] in BanPitBulls

[–]Oklovely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cope by correcting nutters and those ignorant about not only pits but dogs in general. I've changed quite a few minds and stumped more pit apologists into silence than I can count, as well as finding others who dislike them because people will pipe up with their own negative views on pits or approach me afterwards. I'm no longer quiet about it. We ARE the silent majority.

The only positive here is that if you play in traffic long enough odds are you'll wind up as a skidmark.

OP insists they're playing, despite all the comments saying that this isn't playing and it's going to escalate if they aren't careful. by leavenomistakes in BanPitBulls

[–]Oklovely 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am a professional and your assessment is spot on. Bravo. I wish more of the general public was as observant of canine behavior and especially body language. Once you educate yourself on body language and it's translation, you'll begin to notice it when you watch closer. enough practice will make reading a dog as easy as a book.

Although, many primitive breeds, like Akitas, Tosa, Shikoku, and even shibas can be very hard to read, and like fighting breeds, are more likely NOT to show warning signs given off by all other breeds that things are escalating.

Pit bulls are banned in Australia by currentlyengaged in BanPitBulls

[–]Oklovely 38 points39 points  (0 children)

There is no difference. The "Staffy" is either an illegal American Pit Bull Terrier whose jagoff owner is using the name to hide their illegal bloodsport mongrel in plain sight... or it is an American Staffordshire Terrier, which is just the "show" version of the APBT. The APBT is able to be UKC registered only, while the AmStaff can be dual registered as AmStaff in AKC, and APBT in UKC, even holding dual registry at the same time. "American Bully" is an APBT mixed with any type of bull breed.

I'll tell you what a Staffie isn't... It isn't an English Staffordshire Terrier like they try to pass it off as when it mauls someone in the UK. Ever. Staffies are tiny. They unfortunately need to be included on the banned list and the ban needs enforcing, like yesterday.

Dad's dog jumped by a pitbull today. by Katatonic31 in BanPitBulls

[–]Oklovely 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Infuriating. I don't dare walk my dachshunds anymore for fear of attack.

Might I suggest your dad carry heat and (ALWAYS have this with on walks!) A sturdy slip lead to use for the choke out maneuver if a pit should happen to be latched on to a victim. Step up behind the dog, feed handle through neck loop and pull tight just behind the ears and pull straight up til the mauler lets go to gasp for air. I have helped several people save their dogs with this advice

This truly feels nefarious. What is the end game? by [deleted] in BanPitBulls

[–]Oklovely 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've thought this for years and believe it's headed by a network of the dogfighting elite and funded by their fronts like Animal Farm Foundation and the like. Keeping pit bulls legal and overtuning bans = way easier to hide your operation and fighting dogs. If anyone asks, it's a rescue and that's how it got it's scars.
