[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I unleash my dog as often as I can. My dog is a lover not a biter. You are all paranoid.[/quote]

You must be that idiot you states that it's a fact that dogs get aggressive on a leash.[/quote]

OMG. NP here. Leash aggression is REAL. The situation is where your dog is on leash and another dog approaches OFF LEASH. That is when it is better to drop the leash so your dog can maneuver. It pisses me off to no end when a person has there dog off leash in public space because [b]my dog is always leashed and always becomes aggressive towards other dogs when she is on leash[/b]. At the dog park I got into a ridiculous row with a stupid bitch who insisted on walking her dog past the double fenced area on leash and then being surprised when a fight broke out with my dog. She went crazy and blamed my dog. It was insane--she was an idiot.[/quote]

If you have properly trained and have control of your dog, it will NOT be aggressive on a leash.  If your dog gets aggressive, it's because YOU allow your dog to become aggressive.  It makes no difference whether the other dog is leashed or not.  I'm sick to death of encountering people like you who blame others for the problems their dogs have.  Who doesn't find unleashed dogs annoying?  But, that's no excuse for allowing your dog to become aggressive. Show some responsibility.[/quote]

You know, dogs have personalities.  And they are also animals with strong instincts.  The worst people I've met are the ones who think that it is possible for a person to have COMPLETE control of a dog.  Some dogs are more aggressive by nature.  Training helps.  But the worst thing any owner can do is assume they have complete control of their dog.  In my experience, the worst accidents (fights and bites) happened on account of those deluded and arrogant owners who, because they read a few books and watched a few episodes of Cesar Milan, foolishly believe they have complete control.  Actual Animal behaviorists agree that even with domesticated dogs, even with proper training, even training from the time of puppyhood, there is still an element out of your control.  Not only do some dogs (like some people) have greater tendencies toward aggression, but sometimes the slightest trigger can cause centuries of ingrained instincts to kick in.

This is why the best Pit Bull owners are the ones who, despite all of the training and bonding, NEVER take chances.[/quote]
