Most behaviors can be managed through training and precautions but some owners don't want to be bothered or aren't going to put forth the effort; we see it a lot on this forum. Usually at this point the owner is posting about a bite, long after the aggression was a problem. This is why the PTS option is suggested often. As Rottweiler owners and individuals passionate about the breed and facing BSL constantly, I think many on the forum would rather err on the side of caution.

LOL. True, so true!

Problems like this resource aggression issue escalate because they are allowed to.
