She is five and never had an incident, although she hates escalators, they bother her feet. I have health certs, a letter from my doctor and a copy of my military and SSA papers showing my 100% disability rating, which are not recognizable by just looking at me. Anytime I need a little extra money I go find a trashy 7-11 store and the stinky little manager yells at me in broken English. So I let him kick me out, I am very polite, I record everything and when the cops arrive I get a copy of the report. It is nice to have a little bonus once a year. I am legal, and don't even have to work anymore because ignorant folks think my pit bull is a fake SD.

I also did not nueter my golden till he was done growing and developing and he is an awesome dog, gets along with everything unless another dog full on attacks him. then he will defend himself of he has to. But I ran inroads<br />to a lot of vets who wanted me to neuter him asap like he would ho pit if I didn't. of course I'm sure thistrend started after fighting breeds became popular because none recommend we neuter our border collide we had growing up 10 years ago before pits bee a fad.

Debra Horwitz... I worked as a full-time dog...Oh... Debra Horwitz... I worked as a full-time dog behavior consultant in the same city where she was an adjunct professor. I had completed all my Ph.D. studies in Zoology and in Bio Anthro, but left without completing my dissertation in order to open my behavior practice. <br /><br />Along the way, I got my now 13 yr. old Border Collie that was from a litter of highly fear-aggressive and noise phobic BCs. I was looking into using a specific type of medicine in conjunction with behavioral modification, so I made an apt. with Horwitz, who was the state's only board-certified veterinary behaviorist. She traveled for visits, was very expensive, and had a months-long waiting list.<br /><br />Despite my mentioning 20+ years of dog sports competition and academic background (incl. being a guest speaker several times at the same vet school), she basically said that I couldn't possibly know anything about dog behavior because I wasn't a vet.<br /><br />Because I did not want to neuter my dog at that time (I prefer neutering at age 4+), she refused to prescribe any meds. She said that "people like me" just want meds to cover up crappy temperaments so we can win dog shows and sell aggressive puppies to the public. She stuck by it even after I told her I had never bred a litter in my life. And that I had the #1 Jack Russell in America, who was also the most sports-titled JRT in the world, and that I had neutered him without breeding. Her breeding fears aside, I don't believe neutering has ever been implicated in reducing fear-aggression.<br /><br />She provided only extremely simplistic advice--basically, to give treats when he didn't act aggressively toward people. That was after I had already explained to her that I had quit my job for six months so that 3,000 people could drop treats on the ground for him, and he would still lunge at people aggressively. I guess she wasn't listening too well. (Note: he was soft-mouthed and never hurt anybody in his life--not even a scratch--or would have been quickly dirt-napped). <br /><br />Because I wouldn't consider neutering immediately, that bit of advice was all she would offer for the $200 consultation fee. Give treats for not being aggressive. I guess that was something she learned while becoming an "Ultimate Expert." :-)S.K.Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10394626858056890715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325894281523642428.post-86236878888564087282015-06-25T20:37:52.611-07:002015-06-25T20:37:52.611-07:00To Anonymous April 28, 2015 at 5:45 PM

They are a few years old, so maybe you've seen them already, but I'll leave them here anyway. <br /><br />One is called "Veterinarians' perceptions of behaviour support in small-animal practice" (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3607099/) and the other "Canine behaviour problems: discussions between veterinarians and dog owners during annual booster consultations" (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3593187/)<br /><br />Basically, they show that vets have little training regarding behaviour and that owners either know as little as they do or don't really talk about it with them. <br /><br />I found it interesting, considering all those vet and vet techs (who I imagine are taught even less about behaviour) that are pit/dangerous dogs apologists. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325894281523642428.post-83187891253034989512015-04-27T21:08:48.242-07:002015-04-27T21:08:48.242-07:00I suppose it isn't a wonder that people whose ...I suppose it isn't a wonder that people whose personalities stir up conflict, are drawn to dogs bred for conflict.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325894281523642428.post-59809160403402973242015-04-26T07:24:12.729-07:002015-04-26T07:24:12.729-07:00Yet when pit bulls attack pets or children, how of...Yet when pit bulls attack pets or children, how often do nutters give fake phone numbers, and aliases?

The only thing that even comes close are the deranged guys who stalk sex workers with the intent to doxx them, and maybe the gamergate people. <br /><br />Pibble, sorry that happened to you.

Nevius (SF Chronicle), Forrest Carr (KGUN9) and Barbara Kay (National Post) who received a barrage of hate mail after covering pit bulls, and I've been told in every single instance that pit bull "advocates" top the charts for threatening, abusive, and otherwise worst-behaved comments and messages. <br /><br />That's why I don't use my real name when I comment online about this issue.

Anytime there was a deadly pit bull attack, the pit bull anti-defamation league's spidey sense tingled and they thronged in by the hundreds. Upon noticing that many of the same people had commented to close to one hundred pit bull attack stories with the same "pibbles are misunderstoooooood" spiel, I asked a serious question: doesn't the fact that you spend a significant amount of your time defending pit bulls in the wake of deadly attacks indicate that there might really be an issue with pit bulls? Cue predictable, indignant rage. <br /><br />At the time I used my real name to comment. Pit bull advocates found my art website, ran a WHOIS on my domain to obtain my address, and signed that address up for pornographic junk mail. Since I registered the domain back in high school, the address listed was actually my mother's. She received dozens of BDSM catalogs and the like. We both felt genuinely threatened until I discovered pit bull advocates bragging about this little coup on LiveJournal.<br /><br /><br />These people also made several public, libelous claims about me. Not Douglas Anthony Cooper's version of libel, a la "using the word suicide in a sentence" = "telling someone to kill herself," but really and truly libelous claims that were factually untrue and absolutely malicious. I could have sued several people yet it never even occurred to me to sue anyone over what they were saying about me on the Internet.Pibblenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325894281523642428.post-55429518843028024512015-04-18T18:20:48.282-07:002015-04-18T18:20:48.282-07:00as to your second comment, i don't blame peopl...as to your second comment, i don't blame people for commenting anonymously. there are a lot of crazy fuckers in the world and a lot of them seem to have pit bulls. people don't want the aggravation of dealing with the kooks. like the owner of <a href="http://our-compass.org/2012/01/30/soap-actor-commits-suicide-after-pups-forced-euthanasia-breed-discrimination-takes-two-more-lives/#comment-126144" rel="nofollow">our-compass.org</a>. the blog that douglas anthony cooper is on trying to drum business for his class action lawsuit.<br /><br />Registrant Email:c5ab137a0a16121f2cc96247b7e85298@domaindiscreet.com<br />Admin ID:93547918eef42774<br />Admin Name:PERFECT PRIVACY, LLC<br />Admin Organization:ATTN: our-compass.org<br />Admin Street: 12808 Gran Bay Parkway West<br />Admin City:Jacksonville<br />Admin State/Province:FL<br />Admin Postal Code:32258<br />Admin Country:US<br />Admin Phone:+1.9027492701scurrilous amateur bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00575387156203723911noreply@blogger.com
