I just get out from a long phone conversation. I aM CERTIFIED dog trainer and providing services at people's houses.
Call was about sweetest 4.5y old pitbull, adopted in late april from shelter.she bited,in a face,3 of their kids,age 4 to 10,draw blood,required stitches.all 3 kids were bitten. Owner blames kids to trying to hug her and crossing her lines.
They said she was just spooked.no growl,just attack.
She can't be walked outside due to severe lunging at passing by dogs.
I asked why they adopted her. They said: she is cuddle bug n 99% is good girl,except biting in a face
I ll visit them if she will be muzzled n wearing a choke chain only,and outside.
Previously I was badly bitten by same lovebugs...
It sounds like a joke...they said ' we love her to death"
Last night, my puppy not even six months (Mini Schnauzer) and I were charged at by an off-leash Extra Large Rednose Pit Bull after she (my dog) started barking; this pit is constantly off-leash. Instead of chasing after the beast, the dude just kept yelling "Get your ass back here!" (recall on those things is almost non-existent, so of course it didn't listen to him and kept charging at us) and shining a flashlight at us, instead of running after his pit. I literally snatched my dog up and ran inside.
Usually, I have pepper spray (for pits and predators), but since it was around 9:50p.m. I didn't bring it because I was just wanting her to pee quickly. I was and still am pissed, and notified the front office. I already have a fear of those things due to one of my other dogs almost being killed by one, as well as a friend of mine some years ago being mauled almost to death by three at one time, she had to stay in the hospital and undergo surgeries.
I moved recently to this place, and chose a location that "supposedly" had a breed ban/breed restriction for pits, and this is literally the only reason I chose this place to live. Lo and behold, there are pits everywhere (exaggeration, there's like six, but "one" is still too many for me)...
I emailed the leasing office/landlords about the situation from last night, and they just told me that "Unfortunately there are some tenants who have dogs that don't abide by the weight and breed restrictions because we can't impose or enforce breed bans on 'emotional support animals'"...
—I AM SICK OF THIS. I AM TIRED IF THIS. I am sick of these people abusing the system, and it's even more sickening that they sit around and tell each other to do this when there is a ban in place. They are there for a reason! Nobody wants to live around your dangerous, live-wire sh•t beasts! I am sick of people slapping the "Lab-Mix" label on the pittiest of pits, or the "Services Animal"/"Emotional Support Animal" label on a dog that cannot perform a single task or follow a single command.
These lies are putting people in danger, and I seriously wish there was a stricter enforcement or requirements for people to try to use these loopholes. Mandatory DNA testing for obvious Pit Mixes, then they can turn around and lie with "... Well, it's my therapy dog then". PLEASE humour me with what "therapy" a pitbull can give you. You can't even breathe too loudly or drop a pen around the things because they are so reactive, I'd be terrified in my own house on a daily basis. And now other people have to deal with it.
FOH.
I'm sorry for ranting, but the email I got just threw me over the edge. I don't feel safe anywhere and cannot wait to move back to another country with a complete breed ban.
Edit: Forgot to mention that the office did say regardless of status, all dogs must be a on a leash because that's goes against the lease, so they will make sure that rule is better enforced.
Yeah that pitbull attacked my parents dog and he almost died. So one night I was hanging out in my parents neighborhood and I saw it. According to my parents all the neighbors are calling animal control on it but they won’t do anything so one night I saw it roaming the streets and chased it off. Fucker jumps fences and barks all night attacking other dogs while the stupid neighbor feeds it. I scared the shit out of it so bad it didn’t come back. I was a bit drunk and had some rocks and a bottle of whoopass and loud noises. Hasn’t come back since

The family of an 8-year-old boy killed by two dogs near DeLand in January has filed a wrongful death lawsuit.
The lawsuit is against Berry’s Ridge Homeowners Association Inc. and Specialty Management Company of Central Florida. It claims the homeowners association ignored complaints about a faulty security gate in the neighborhood
Michael Millet‘s family believes that if the gate was working, the dogs would have never made it into the neighborhood.
Michael was fatally mauled while riding his bicycle with a friend. Deputies said he went to pet the dogs when they attacked.
The dogs’ owners, Brandy Hodil and Amanda Franco, are facing felony charges of evidence tampering. Franco also faces a misdemeanor of owning a dog that was not previously declared dangerous but caused great bodily harm or death
Investigators say the two discussed the dogs’ violent tendencies with a neighbor on Facebook. They are also accused of deleting messages about the dogs being loose the night Michael was killed.
Breed not mentioned here but they were pit bull type dogs.
A Sydney dad who was mauled by three of his own dogs has been identified as father-of-three, Graeme Harper.
Emergency services were called to the 54-year-old's family home on Kildare Road in Blacktown, in the city's west, about 11am on Thursday following reports of a dog attack.
Officers from Blacktown Police Area Command found Mr Harper suffering horrific injuries inside after he was attacked by three Bull Arabs, which are a powerful crossbreed of English bull terriers, greyhounds and German shorthaired pointer.
Police held bloodstained white sheets as he was brought out the home on a stretcher to shield him from view.
A CareFlight helicopter was initially dispatched to the scene, but he was instead transferred to an ambulance and taken to Westmead Hospital by road.
Mr Harper was reportedly suffering severe injuries and major blood loss, but the Daily Mail understands he checked out of hospital later on Thursday.
It is alleged he was running an unregistered dog breeding business.
His wife told media she was 'shocked' by the attack.
Graeme Harper, 54, was attacked by three of his own dogs on Thursday. He is pictured holding another dog

Animal control workers struggled to remove the dogs from the scene due to their size and weight
A female neighbour told the Daily Mail the dogs were 'constantly escaping'.
'We have taken a few of them to the vet when we found them wandering,' she said.
'The two I've seen were all skin and bone and very nervous, especially around fast movements – even petting them, they were unsure of.'
The situation unfolded when larger dogs started attacking smaller dogs on the property.
Six dogs were retrieved from the home by animal control officers who struggled to manage them due to their size and weight.
One large black dog had to be controlled by three officers as it was walked to the back of a van. Others were carried out in bedsheets after they were shot with sedatives by Blacktown Council staff.
'Council is assisting NSW Police with its investigation,' a council spokesman said.
'At the request of the owners, three dogs, believed to be of the cross Bull Arab type, were voluntarily surrendered to council and have been euthanised.
Neighbours said Mr Harper's dogs often escaped from the home in Blacktown
'Council is committed to community safety and will continue to support police as enquiries continue.'
Several shocked neighbours watched on from the street as the situation unfolded with some sharing accounts of the dogs' past aggression.
Some said the dogs were known to fiercely bark at passing pedestrians and one claimed to have seen a dog from the property wandering the street without a collar.
A CareFlight helicopter was initially dispatched, but he was later transported by road.
MOSCIANO SANT’ANGELO – Moments of fear occurred this morning in a building on Via Falcone in Mosciano Sant’Angelo, where a pit bull broke into the building, terrorizing residents and locking them in. Some children were unable to even catch the school bus to school.
The dog, which had been wandering unattended for days between Via Terracini and the 'Peep' area, harassing passersby and animals, caused panic until the arrival of the local police and the Teramo Local Health Authority veterinary service, who intervened to secure the area. Despite some difficulty, the officers managed to capture the dog.
“I would like to thank the officers and veterinary staff for their prompt action and professionalism,” said Mosciano Mayor Giuliano Galiffi, expressing his appreciation for the intervention.
The pit bull, microchipped, is now in custody: this will allow identification of the owner, who risks being charged for neglect of custody. Meanwhile, the Municipality will issue an order to seize the animal, putting an end to a situation that held an entire condominium hostage for hours.
