strangers

I have a year and 4 month old female Pit Bull that I rescued. She suffers with anxiety, especially separation, but all around is an extremely sweet and friendly girl. The only issue I've always had with her, is when unfamiliar people come to the door and inside our home. She barks and growls and...

This is my first post so bare with me if I've missed anything. This is my second pitbull, my last lady lived a happy 15 1/2 years, never had any problems with socialization. Our new baby is a 5 mo old spayed female pitbull. We rescued her, she was left in a box taped up dumped outside a closed...

So I just got my first pitt two days ago. She just turned eight weeks old and is great with myself, the cats, my mother, and my son. Anyways, I took her out today to meet and greet some strangers. On all occasions, she will bark and, when they come up to her, she tucks her tail and hides behind...

I walked Bailey and socialized her with new people almost daily until she was about 7 or 8 month,dog aggression really set in and with all these loose dogs here,our walks had to stop.She meets strangers all the time at home(and she does GREAT),just not off the property. Well,the neighbor had...

My 1.5yr old female (spayed) pit does not want anything to do with people she doesn't already know and love. In the home she seems to warm up faster to new people- but on walks/out in public she will growl loudly (under her breath, no teeth showing) and her hackles will stand straight up when...

Seems like I've been pulling away from the site. I've been working, schooling, taking care of lil man and Kandi, so I don't have much free time. I haven't gotten much love lately anyways. Just thought I would shoot an update to the ones I've grown closer to... Kandi's 7 1/2 months now and I went...

Hi I have an 11 month old pup called Odyssey and she's a lovely well behaved dog. I socialised her a lot in her first few months and I'm used to her being overly friendly and even jumping on people for food which I've been working on preventing. During the last few months however I noticed her...

When people hear the words Pit Bull, they usually picture an aggressive dog who will go after anything that moves - but honestly, these strong and often times even-tempered animals are not bred to be vicious, it's just how some of them are - unfortunately - raised. A Pit Bull in Port Charlotte...

Everytime my dog hears the door bell she goes absoultely crazy jumps up on the couch and everything she is getting bigger and i'm getting worried if its a stranger she would bark at them but would not do anything..the stranger would walk toward her and she would usually run upstairs and peek out...

So my puppy barks at every stranger that comes over she does not attack them but just sits and barks and looks at them. She would even lay by their feet and bark but she would never run up to them but she would smell their feet once in a while, but she is a PITBULL so everyone is scared saying...

Hi Y'all, It's been a few months since I've been here (took a short vacation to Iraq). Talk about a mess, but that's for a different thread. Good to see some old posters and of course the new ones. My boy is about 18 months now and neutered. He's got basic obedience and can do all the basic...
