agression towards female 11 week old pitt getting better

[damien07]

and i understand you guys are trying to help and we very well thank you for that but please dont give us a lecture on our age, we are doing the best we can. and he has NEVER gone after a person, he plays with us but he has never shown aggression towards a person. and we are trying our best with the situation. we have already started saving money up for school but how are we supposed to know exactly how much it will be and where hes going if people just keep telling us 'put him in obidience school' over and over again, we clearly get it. but alot of people arent rich, (not to be rude) this isnt your business but my family is having VERY bad finance issues right now and we arent speaking to my dads side of the family so obviously for us and even if our parents were the owners and like you said jlaak and shelby427 technically they are, they wouldnt even be able to put him in school right now cause we are having major financial issues, so do you guys understand why we keep trying to get help on here? its the only thing we have until we can get our money back in order and me and brandon have put in SEVERAl job applications JUST for the rott we arent even gunna spend any of it on us its all going towards him so we can take FULL responsibility so if you guys could please support us instead of treating us like were 2 and have no clue what to do with the dog that would be great, and like i said i have grown up with a german rott and an american rott (yes some of you dont think there is a diff but i do) since i was 4 i know im not that old but dont you think 12 years of experience would give you some idea of how to train a rottweiler? granted half the time i was littel but i do remember what to do, and my uncle didnt put his rotts in school untill they were 1 close to 2 years old (granted it was the best school in a dog could go to) and they NEVER bit a person or a dog, they were acctually very people friendly and dog friendly but clearly that states it doesnt matter the dog type it matters about the owner, and whats all this nonsense about a rott 'turning' at any time, ANY freaking dog on the planet can turn at any time not just the 'most aggressive' ones. i mean cant we all agree on that all dogs have different personalities? i mean have you ever watched the dog whisperer? i have never seen a rott on there with aggression problems it is the ones you would least think of them having any aggression problems. i mean look, on the news like 2 weeks ago (well in my city news) a guy got attacked by 2 rotts but guess what, he did NOT blame the dogs he put full responsibility on the owner for the way the dog acted, For all we know 2 chi's or pugs or some little dog could of attacked him, it clearly doesnt matter. so dont you think any one could take care of a rott as long as you know what we are doing? and yes it seems like we dont know what we are doing but thats cause like i said we DIDNT get him until he was 3-4 months. so its hard for him to learn but we are trying our best. so i will ask again please give us help not lectures.

Quote:shelby427-The ONLY reason he still needs work is because you got him when his was 3-4 months of age?? You can't be serious. He needs work because he's never had any training

exactly- that is what we are saying

[damien07]

and if you must know this too-(because every seems to think they know everything with asking) the chi's are like that because my sister who is now 19 years old got the chi's when they were pups and she treated them VERY badly that is why they are like that, and my parents just took over them when my sister decided to go to college when the chi's were already 7 months.

[damien07]

so obviously it shows that an adult doesnt know how to take care of a dog either so dont tell me its the age!

[Shelby427]

so you don't even know the breed at all since you're saying there are 2 different breeds of rottweilers. Read the standard and learn that the standard is the SAME all over the WORLD. So your lack of understanding the breed just adds to the situation. And not to be mean (really) I'm sorry your family is going through financial difficulties - but why then would you add to it? Any pet requires having some money...for any type of emergency or anything like that...I would never have a dog (or any other pet) if I was not financially stable.

[damien07]

we got the dog before we went down hill and yes i do know the breed and if rottweilers are the same no matter what then whats the difference between an italian greyhound and a regular one? you cant tell me some dogs can be different origins and other ones cant? my uncle is an expert in rotts and he had a GERMAN rott and an AMERICAN rott (which means the standard rott) and he put the german rott in a GERMAN ROTT school.

[damien07]

but we went down hill right before he was bout to be put in school cause we already had money saved for it but we had to give it up if you must know

Ha, thus proving your inexperience again. So when you go to dog shows, they show both types? Correct? Every show I've been to only has shown one rott...and yes, IG and greyhounds are different. Have you seen either of them before? But I'm guessing you think IGs, greyhounds and whippets are all the same too? Your uncle seems to have the same experience as you since he thinks there are two breeds.

and we have money to get him everything we need for him like food and the basics but we want him in a good school and thats gunna take time for us to save up right now. other wise he would of been in it along time ago when we first brought him into our family

[damien07]

too bad he didnt know they were two breeds until THE TRAINER!!!!!!!! told him they were. and like i said the dog went to one of the best schools around and it was called a GERMAN ROTT school and there is just as much difference if you havent noticed a german rott is shorter and buffer looking (granted any dog can be buff the german rotts dont even have to try) and a regular rott stands taller and isnt as chunky and they have different face structures. and yes i have seen the grey hounds and yes they look different rotts dont look much different but if you say you know alot more about rotts you would have known this along time ago

Since you have no money for class until you get a job, the best advice I can give you at this point is to shut your mouth and open your eyes. Start READING and LEARNING what is on the forums like so many others have done - even old people.

[damien07]

and i have never liked dog shows, so why would i take the time to watch one, why would you want your dog to go through something like that, not every dog is perfect and can act that way i mean what if they treated humans that way, well acctually they do, say a 400lb. women wanted to be a model and so did a 115lb. girl obviously they are gunna pick the skinnier one so why do they have to treat dogs like that just cause one has bowlegged legs and one doesnt, doesnt mean its imperfect. i know its way off subject but dogs shows make me angry

[moondog]

. Are you DEAF?

[damien07]

what am i supposed to learn, 'oh your too young' 'you dont know how to train your dog' thats not advice i can take! so maybe everyone should start giving advice instead of lecturing so i can acctually take it instead of yelling at everyone. maybe if people would know the whole truth and try to figure out why we are having these problems they could give us advice instead of lectures, thats not why were all here if we would start getting advice instead of lectures this all wouldnt be happening

[damien07]

cause im right there with you i shouldnt have to be opening my mouth right now but when you start telling me its my fault this and my fault that thats NOT advice! so after i just told everyone my family issues maybe you guys can do your part too and give the advice so we can start taking it instead of fighting over dumb stuff.
