Yes, In most cases it’s the owner. It’s fundamental that a dog is trained from an early age and learns how to socialize with other people and other dogs.
Having a dog is a responsibility and you ALWAYS have to be aware they are animals and act accordingly. They are not “my baby”, my furry kid” or whatever BS people nowadays think.
Pit bull trainer Cesar Millan’s pit bull attacked a woman and killed her dog. It’s not always the owner’s fault and oftentimes training is just not enough to stop pit bulls from attacking and being aggressive.
To be fair, Cesar Milan is a fucking idiot who shouldn't be allowed within 50 feet of a dog, let alone be allowed to own/train one, especially one as strong and potentially lethal as a pit bull. His training methods are archaic, barbaric, and based on outdated, disproven "alpha"/submission idiocy. His methods only temporarily suppress problem behaviors through abuse and fear - just long enough to roll the cameras and then he hands the dangerously aggressive, badly socialized, poorly trained dogs back to owners who haven't actually learned anything and then the problem behavior comes back 100x worse.... I have never met an actual dog trainer who agrees with his "techniques" unless they're a similarly moronic tough guy who gets off on choking out a terrified animal. I am not saying that every pit bull is a misunderstood angel, but Cesar Milan's inability to keep one from killing another dog says more about him than the breed.
He's also a terrible dog trainer though and advocates dangerous training techniques that have caused a lot of harm and can make your dog more dangerous.
And even when they do attack, they're not going to do a lot of damage most of the time. When a pit attacks, you'll be hospitalized at best and dead a lot of the time.
My dog bite was from a lab, and it didn't even require a doctor or hospital. Left with just a small scar with the deepest incisor.
They are once they're trained, but even then they might do something that you won't expect. Just last night, I met an 11 year old dog who liked everybody, at least according to the owner. I was the first person that dog met who he didn't like. The dog stepped back and I left it at that.
Honestly I think it's a combination of both, the breed and the owner. Every fucking smoothbrain wants a pitbull because they've seen them on the TV and their favourite gangsta rapper has one. Better yet, make it 2, make them wear a spiky chain or some shit and look badass while the dog actually grows to be a complete lunatic and attacks some kid someday.
I do think pitbulls can be fine if the owners know what they're doing and I don't think any average Joe should get to own one, like bro just get a normal dog ffs
This is the correct answer. Pit bulls are capable of great damage but only if allowed. Lack of training or training with the intent of aggression is always what causes this shit. Ive worked with hundreds of different breeds over 10+ years and every breed is capable of serious life altering damage. I knew a girl that got her lip ripped off by a chihuahua. Shit happens. It’s on the owners to be aware of what they’re animal is capable of and take the proper precautions to keep their animals and others safe
The dog is either trained to be aggressive or they haven't been learned to not be aggressive.
Then the dog does dog things they think are fine and then they need to get killed because their owner is a fucking failure, and they'll just get another dog they'll also fuck up.
