You need to watch some Caeser. He has, as have I through the years, taken dogs
that seemed completely uncontrolable and turned them into pleasant dogs that
are approachable and friendly. They just need the right kind of leadership.
An agressive dog needs to have no doubt that it's life is not in it's own paws,
but rather that the ability to breath comes from outside, another alpha.
I know this for sure. However some dogs do not process input the way most
do. In humans we call it mental illness, in the extreme. In dogs it is just a
dog impossible to retrain due to inability to process input properly.
But those dogs are very few and far between. 99% of all "bad dogs" are
simply mihandled by the people who are supposed to have control.
This Akita attack at the match is a perfect example, from what I have read,
of a dog that is in the wrong hands, start to finish. And now he will die
because the idiot who took him to the match had no clue what he was or what he
might do. She deserves to pay for the victim's life.
I have a bitch here that in October I expected to have to consider putting
down for behavior. Now, I know, with certainity, that as long as I keep her,
she will be fine. She has been to my pool store and bank, pet store and in
front of the grocery. She will let people pet her if she can sniff first. I
NEVER LET PEOPLE PET ANY OF MY DOGS UNTIL THE DOGS HAVE HAD A SNIFF.
I tell people, dogs use there nose the way we use our eyes. They MUST sniff.
But the importance of training cannot be overstated.

Just as I've said before...I DISAGREE. This WAS the dog's fault. THE DOG
DID IT. Is it also the responsibility of the owner? YES! Is it also the
responsibility of the rescue that placed this aggressive dog? YES! But it is
ALSO the dog's fault. I do not feel bad about the dog being put to sleep.
Some dogs don't DESERVE a second or third or fourth chance. I DO feel bad for
the poor woman who will be crippled for the rest of her life...she didn't
deserve what she got.

Yes, it was an Akita....This was obviously NOT the dogs fault.
