Are there no leash laws where you are?
You should walk him on leash around your neighborhood for exercise. He really doesn't need to play with other dogs, especially if he is constantly getting beat up.

Don't you think you should STOP taking him to the park and allowing people to bring other dogs around him that ATTACK him HELLO It's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to keep him SAFE! I'm sure there's got to be a safer place to take him or walk him for exercise.If you want to socialise him try taking him around smaller less aggressive dogs or sign up in a local training class where you BOTH could learn!He's obviously submissive and that really is a fortunate thing for you and by you allowing him to repeatably be attacked in my OPINION is ABUSE!Keep him safe and take care of him.

find a new park seriously. one where leashes a required. and stop lettin u dog get attacked. that is way more important than why he wont fight back....

1. stop taking him to the park. if he's scared then he not enjoying it anyway. get off your lazy ass and exercise him yourself with long walks.
2. stop letting aggressive dogs come over to boss him around in his own home. if he doesn't feel safe in his own environment, you're not doing your job as an owner. he shouldn't have to "defend himself" in your home. tell your negligent friends to keep their dogs in check or don't come over.
3. protect your dog by taking the proper precautions so he won't be forced into those situations.

is he actually getting attacked? or are they playing and perhaps he is just more submissive?? some dogs are just more submissive , however dont think that he can't show signs of DA one day, he may just get tired of this type of play. To me sounds like you are setting your dog up to fail. playing is fine, if my dog seemed scared or uncomfortable it would be my job as an owner to step in and remove him / her from the situation , if this continued regular it would also be my job as an owner to remove any possibility of this re occuring . It is not hard to ask people to please leash there dog and keep them away from yours , trust me I do it all the time.

OK against my better judgment I will bite.
For your original question as to why he doesn't defend himself;
Many dogs even some apbt's are whats called a "cold" dog, or a dog that will not fight. This may change in the future as he/she gets older, and it may not.
But in the mean time keep him away from dogs that would attack him. Try caring a stun gun with you on walks, just the sound of a stun gun scares the shit out of most dogs.

Is it not completely obvious that you need to stop letting other dogs around your dog? Even if you have to be an asshole to others, telling them to keep their dogs away, you have to protect your dog.

This guy doesn't seem to be the sharpest tool in the shed. To me it seems like he wants his dog to be a badass PIT so he can show off to his buddies how tuff his dog is.

Just my 2 cents.

cheers!

^ That is very well said JoKealoha.!! tHUmbs up*. And chevyman69, my girl when she was a few months old; she always got harassed (bite, scratched) by an old and big grey squirrel. Until one day when my girl had enough, she hid and staked out the squirrel. She ran up the oak tree and tore the grey squirrel into pieces.. Blood was every where, as the previous owner told me.. I think my girl just snapped then, because I’ve had and owned her for many years now and she is Awesome. Temperament is great with kids, people, and even farm animals (I live on a farm ). It’s better to have a soft apbt than a aggressive one, so be thankful and responsible.

You sound like a "stereotypical pitbull owner". Who cares if he doesn't fight back....thats what YOU DON'T WANT!

Celly_Cells_Kenya

well it sounds like ur friends dogs and these dogs park are bad news... i wouldnt bring ur dog around these other dogs. the day that ur dog decides to "fight back" could bring u to a lawsuit, or he could kill another dog which will eventually mean ur dog will get seized and out down as well...

i dont know how old u are but u seem young. my best advice to u is keep ur dog for U... these dogs are perfectly fine being with their owners and not having any other dog mates.

i really wouldnt want to see ur dog get taken or put down since u "want him to defend himself"....

please be responsible

I haven't read all the responses but I say DO NOT TAKE HIM THERE! And as an owner, you shouldn't allow him to get in a situation where another dog will attack him

Find another place to take your dog, common sense and logic says you need to keep him out of harms way. Go to Petsmart and get dog mace and mace any dog of leash that comes within 8 feet!

Geez! You have to watch, pay attention and PREVENT crap like that! If I see a dig running at us, I get prepared to kick the snot out of it if I have to before it even gets to my dog! Have you had a dog before?
