Our pit bull, 9 months old, takes off if he gets out in front of house. Always goes to same house and gets into a tassel with dog that lives there.
This has happened 3 times.
Is there any training that will stop him from doing this?
The town wants me to put him down, saying he is a dangerous animal.
Have not had problems with him except for this one dog. He is good around people that come to house and does not seem to be mean.
If I don't want to lose him will have to keep him in a pen. This a think would make him want to run more and might make him meaner.
i would suggest an underground electric fence. some people think this can be cruel, but once he is trained to stay in the yard, he will remember the limits he has. It will take some extensive training on your part though.
A dog pen, an electric fence and shock collar, any other type of pen.
If he continues to fight with the other dog in NY a Judge can and possibly will sign an order to have him put down.
Is he covered by your homeowners or renters policy? If he knocks or injures someone while on his way to the other house or in the process of fighting with the other dog you could lose everything.
Ask your Vet for a recommendation based on the personality and temperament of the dog and the trainer.
I have a great story and I've told it before - my late husband and I selected a dog trainer for our Hoodlum Gordon Setter. Not that my husband let the dog do whatever the dog wanted but both the dog AND my husband were thrown out of class - permanently.
