Pet Dogs And The Dangerous Breeds

Are there any dangerous breeds of dogs? Time has proven that there are certain types of breeds that are dangerous and can even kill people. The larger the breed, the more damage they can create. They can harm you in a big way. But not everything is bad about your favourite pet animal.

Your pet dogs behavior can be at time very unpredictable. So whenever you decide to buy a new a pet dog or puppy, just make sure you got the right breed. Avoid buying known dangerous breed type of animals. From early young stage of your puppy life you have to train him or her the right way. You will need a training dog crate, unique dog collars, an air filled dog bed, or a simple dog bed. You will also invest on a good transport dog crates for your dog transport if ever you decide to travel with your pet dogs.

Once you have settled in on the basics you will need a training dog crate. You will use this to train your dog on the basics of what you would like him or her to accomplish. The reason it is very important to train your puppies is for them to grow more discipline and more predictable. Because your dogs and puppies genetics is very hard to ascertain. And dog bites are becoming very rampant today in America.

According to the Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year there are 4.7 million people bitten by dogs. And 17 percent of those require some medical attention or care. And for these reasons I think that the CDC has labeled dog bites in America as epidemic. For these reasons too, some cities and communities have banned certain types of dogs. There are well publishes incidents where people got killed by pit bulls or Rottweiler.

This makes a lot of nervous and uncomfortable with our favorite pet. Properly trained at young age could make a difference on their outcome. Just a word of caution though. It is very hard to guarantee their behavior, so always on the lookout for any signs of deteriorating behavior.

There are about ten breeds that were involved in the most lethal bites and attacks. These types of breeds are Rottweiler, Dobermans, pit bulls, German shepherds, akitas, Great Danes, huskies, chow chows, malamutes, and St Bernards. This is not in any specific order of ruthlessness.

It is for this main reason that some communities have banned certain type of breeds. To learn about these laws and by laws of each community, you have to go online and inquire from the local government. This is the last thing you like to happen to your favorite pet dogs. Thus dog training is very important because it help in preventing this to happen. Dangerous breeds thus likely to bite so if you know them you can avoid them. Most of these breeds are trained for fighting and for sports.

A dog that is well trained and living in a good environment can be less aggressive. You have to consider that larger animals do more harm than the smaller counterpart. So a comfortable and well fed, well trained and in an excellent environment pet dogs will be just fine.

Pet Dog
When comparing a working dog to a pet dog, do you think their temperaments differ, why and how?

Do you think the owner/handler expectations and demands have led to a divide in temperament?
Why are some behaviours deemed permissible in a pet dog that wouldn't be accepted in a working dog, when the consequences may be the same for each dog, ie, not having a dog 100% reliable off leash.

Unfortunately Jen they do differ. I think the main reason they do is because of temperament issues that working dog owners are not willing to deal with and again, unfortunately "pet" people are, or don't care!!
Fundamentally, the way the dog was created, it was meant to be ONE dog, ONE breed, but, as those dogs became more popular, people wanted them as something other then a working type dog, hence the different temperaments being bred today that have all but killed several breeds because people could not handle a REAL true to type bred dog!

I don't think there should be a difference in the way a dog is treated, "pet" or working and if its temperament happens to be so weak or out of character, blue juice is always a viable option, but, the PC crowd would crap all over themselves hearing that today!!
As far as expectations...well, I also fail to see why a working dog NEEDS more or has more OB training for example then the average "pet"...they both live on the same planet, the same reality and it makes sense that when you say "here" to either, they would kill themselves to respond.
I do so love it when I see the comment is here about "well, mine is not a working dog, he does not have to listen or respond like one"...what the hell does that mean?
