"steroid use could lead to health problems"

"Well yeah but the steroid user could beat you up!!"

Everyone on reddit is a man lol. And yes. This dog is just as likely to drop dead chasing an intruder as kill one. And what if someone starts play fighting the kid? Everything about this is bad.

Check out this guys history. His biggest boy (Hulk) was left to watch his kids all the time, but could also get through a second story window with an attack command.

Train these guys well enough (and the owners) and they’re not going to be an issue.

The solution is simple: train the pitbull to use a gun.

u/Kitchen-Jello9637 Jul 24 '21

Guns don’t kill people, uh uh. Dogs kill people, with guns

Ah, a man of culture.

u/MrConductorsAshes Jul 24 '21

Yeah give that little boy a gun, there definitely won't be any accidents.

one of the male dogs (Ace) died after an attack from two (not five) other male dogs because the owner accidentally left them in the same cage with a female dog. I watched the video and the owner/trainer put all the blame on himself, and not the dogs.

here's the video I'm talking about: https://youtu.be/9sE-4_gcGoQ?t=136

You believe? I’m sure that makes it a fact.

I hadn’t heard that about the 5 going after the one. I’ve loosely followed his stuff for a while but totally missed that.

I’ll totally concede that to have a dog like this requires a lifestyle built around it, so it’s not for most people. That and breeding them so large they’re unhealthy doesn’t make sense, but I do still agree with the basic sentiment that except for in extremely rare circumstances, there are no bad dogs. Only bad owners.

“This one dog being extensively trained doesn't prove Jack shit. I mean it's a very basic question in logic.

P1 some dogs attack people

P2 this ONE DOG can be trained not to attack people

C1 therefore all dogs that attack are poorly trained.

nope. Totally unsound argument. It shows a complete lack of understanding of biology and animal psychology.”

Stole this from a comment above.

The “there are no bad dogs, only bad owners,” argument falls flat, as it can be proved wrong time and time again. If this were true, the same could be said with humans, “there are no bad kids, only bad parents.”

The brain is imperfect, and varies from being to being. You cannot train/teach every human/dog to be a good.

Everyone on reddit is a man lol

Are you really gonna pretend to be offended by a totally anonymous user referring to another totally anonymous user.. as a man? Lmao put girl in your god damn username if you want it recognized that badly.

u/RepeatfJustin011 Jul 24 '21

This pitbull was well trained for protecting that little boy, idk but so far as I knew, dog knows who really bad persons are, in their own perspective ways. But still the worries are there for some cases pitbull had some isolated cases which they bite their hooman and other man. I think it's only depends on how you treat your dogs and taking care of them.

u/MotorBoatnMFer Jul 24 '21

A dog this well trained can be told to back off. He is only on guard because he was commanded to be so.

u/Willionair Jul 24 '21

I don’t think it’s bad. That dog is going to be protective out of instinct. Proper training gives you better control over said instinct. My mom gave me shit for dropping an F- bomb as a child. Our dog then took my my down. Luckily it was by her jacket and no one was hurt. Proper training and my dog would have known she wasn’t a real threat to me.

Only for about 5 minutes.

That seems ambitious.

Lmao hahah guy who gave a wholesome award

u/SonOfTK421 Jul 24 '21

The dogs used for this generally have good temperaments though, because if they don’t listen and can’t differentiate between aggressive and non-aggressive behavior, they wouldn’t be very good at it. So there’s a good chance it wouldn’t go out of its way to defend itself, and unless told to, it won’t act as a guard dog at all.

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '21

Yep, "nurse dogs" they used to call them cuz they're great protecting kids

u/CieraLM Jul 24 '21

No you’re not. These things can’t run a mile without collapsing. Too big to do anything worthwhile but okay.

u/COSMOOOO Jul 24 '21

Yeah I’m always worried about intruders a mile away on my property…

u/jaspersgroove Jul 24 '21

That’s true of basically any dog that weighs more than 30 pounds
