How do i get my pitbull more agressive?

Question

He is to friendly yesturday they brke in to my houce and he ran awy and hid he is 1 year old

Answer 1

Are you completely bonkers? Pitbulls are strong dogs with strong jaws. If he passes a child with a toy, he could attack to get the toy. Then he will have to be put to sleep.

Answer 2

Herbs, your head must be a little under the influence of HERB... Why not getting an alarm system instead? You're asking for trouble. It's so sad when you go to a local animal shelter, and find out that most of the dogs in death row are pits. If only people knew what they're getting into before they make such a commitment. Owners shouldn't have dogs if they get them for the wrong reasons. Later on they find out that having an aggressive dog is more a liability than an asset. Don't do harm to this dog, you don't need that, trust me. In the long term, it's more rewarding to have a loyal and loving dog, than a dog that will bring you nothing but trouble and inconveniences.

Answer 3

He is only one year old so he is still a puppy.
When intruders broke in he was probably terrified the poor love.

I think you should consider yourself very lucky that you have such a normal puppy.

Please do not feel the need to make him agressive, you will be glad in the long run. When you can walk down the pavement without him ripping some yorkshire terriers head off.

Also it will save you in vet fees,

Love him and he will love you which surely is why you got the puppy in the first place, if nit then perhaps you need to reconsider why you have him.

Answer 4

If this is a dog is in a neighborhood setting, I suggest weighing the cons posed by having a dog that is aggressive. One bite and you could be looking at law suit city. Even if the bite occurs while someone is breaking in, you could be liable for a dangerous dog.

Good for your dog to have self preservation and to hide. Smart dog!!! Robbers usually know if there is a dog there and will come prepared to eliminate any threat posed by the dog (ie they neutralize the dog with mace, bludgeoning, etc.) or trick it into one room with food and lock it in there and still take your stuff. I know you want to protect your stuff but you are much better off having a better alarm system or locks or living in a safer part of town.

Most 1 year old dogs are not mentally mature enough to be guard dogs without professional training. They gain confidence about their territory and protecting it in the years to come.

Answer 5

There are alot of thing you can do to make your Pit Bull aggressive. But why, why would you want to do that??!! That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. So your dog runs away when people break into your house. I rather have my dog run out of the house then it try and attack someone and then end up getting shot and dieing.

You don't need your dog to be aggressive, so don't try too. It's so very wrong.

Answer 6

APBT's DO NOT lock tehir jaws. Thats is one of the most common falsehoods on this breed. I show in ADBA conformation shows an weight pulls. These dogs were not bred an are not inheritently a human agressive beed an it gripes me to see people who try to make a manbiter. TRUE apbt's are not liek that at all. Now if yiu are talking about 100lb Razors Edge or Gotti types then yes they may bite. Anyone who knows the history on these dogs knows that those are not true to type bulldogs. :-)

Answer 7

The majority of responses are on the "mark". You don't want him/her more aggressive, you want it to protect your house. You must create a bond with your dog, as Pit Bulls make it their life's mission to please their owner. Understand that all Pit Bulls do not bark. But if you create a close enough bond with your animal they will not welcome in an intruder. They will show their teeth, growl and run an intruder away (without biting), they will corner (without biting) an intruder in your house and not allow them to leave until you get there. An ideal Pit Bull will not do more than that, but are certainly effective. You don't want a "maneater"!

Creat the bond, forget aggressiveness and more importantly read up on the breed. Unfortunately, too many people acquire Pit Bulls without truly understanding the breed itself. They are the most loving, entertaining, loyal and respectful animals that I have had the pleasure of raising.

Good luck to you and your dog.

Answer 8

You dont want him to be aggressive, because say instead of someone breaking into your house there is a kid playing in your front yard and the dog attacks... Now come on would you rather have a dog that is friendly or one that is going to attack a 2 year old child????

Answer 9

Get another dog. I have a red nose gentle pit and he's a good guard dog yet he's soo sweet. Pitts have a bad reputation and if agressive they could turn on there owners. You don't want a mean pit! He could be too agressive and out of control and thats not what you want. Try getting another dog! It's not your pits fault he's a lover not a fighter! Think twice about making him mean! Once he locks his jaws there locked!!!! Be careful, My pitt has a sister not with us but she is mean like Cujo!

Answer 10

I really hope you don't want an aggressive dog. I am sure you have a loyal dog and had you been there and he felt your life was in danger or you were hit he would have defended you even if it was to his death. I am sure that is what you want. Once a dog is trained to be aggressive he is not safe to be around. My sister had bull dogs and thought they should be aggressive and thought it was funny that everyone was scared of them. She fell and broke her hip and then her dogs were not safe around her as they know they could overpower her. After one of the 5 attacked her she had to give them to a bull dog rescue.

Answer 11

Trying to make him more aggressive is why pits have such a bad name. Talk to a trainer about some protection/guard dog training. They should be trained by a professional and not you. You need to go with him when he is trained and learn how to control him afterward.
Good luck
