All good points. Last one got walked every night off leash. She was such a baby, I protected her. The current one gets walked 70% off leash but with a shock collar. She has an issue with getting too excited to meet another dog.....to play. Gotta go, time for a walk than a Daiquiri for Karaoke night.That's horrible, I'm sorry to hear about that.
My dog is and never will be off leash outside even though she is already extremely well behaved and trained.
It's unfortunate you've had those experiences, pit breeds are exceptionally loyal and contrary to media propaganda, any dog showing aggression to humans as time went on were put down. Having said that, they do have a history of being used in animal sports and do have a high prey drive. Which is why I will keep mine on a leash for life - not because I am worried she will maul someone or something but because I love her enough to never want to be in a position where I have to defend her from being taken away and possibly put down because of someone else's dog.
I'm sure none of that will change your perception unfortunately. The bad ones give all of them a bad reputation.
