Clearly that was a puppy who should have been watched during playtime with the toddler, this puppy should have been trained not to bite. This is bad parenting

There was actually a member from fishing buddy who posted a story about what to do with a puppy/young dog who would play ruff with his new born baby. I don't remember what the general consensus as to what was the best remedy for him but now that I'm a dog owner play biting is not acceptable anytime.

Yep kinda a trend that follows all these attacks. Poor obedience and lack of accountability from owners.

I just read an article that rich people from LA are going to start purchasing 150,000 dollar trained guard dogs then buying a firearm to protect their property.

It wasn't the puppy that attacked the boy. It was a Lab that was with the woman and puppy, but it's believed that the Lab is not the puppy's mother. Makes me wonder though it the Lab wasn't still somehow acting on motherly instinct.

Those two trainers are top notch and its amazing the control and what they do with those dogs. I can see that price tag as not being out of line. I have been following Svalinn working dogs for a few years amazing what they do. If you want a fc lab figure your going to have 30 grand into training fees to attain that. Even for a hrch like my dog your going to have 10 to 15 grand in training fees. If my dog makes a mistake we just dont get a ribbon if those dogs mess up you go to jail so no room for error.

Never been around a German shepherd that I trusted also.

Are you denying that this breed is more dangerous than other breeds, given that most dogs have had little to no formal obedience training?

I once heard that the most reported dog bites are from Labs, might be wrong, but it makes one scratch their head.

Thats like saying ar's are more dangerous than other guns. The factors surrounding it play into it as much as the breed its self.

What do you consider formal obedience?

nope your 100% right but when there are more of them than any other dog its just the law of averages.

I dont know, enough obedience training to make them safe I guess.

Obviously what many people are doing now isnt working.

Comparing dogs to ARs is not a valid because no guns attack and kill people of their own volition, DOGS DO. A better comparison would be, if there was a specific car model that was fine most of the time, but randomly exploded killing the passengers inside it (maybe its electric?), so often that 70+ percent of car failure related fatalities could be attributed to that specific model, would you oppose the government forcing restrictions upon it or banning it entirely? Maybe with proper maintenance, the chances of this car exploding are decreased significantly, but we all know that many people dont follow proper maintenance schedules with their vehicles, that doesnt excuse the danger inherent to that specific model does it? That is a much more similar analogy

No i would not want the government to ban that car if you are dumb enough and know the problems be my guest blow your self up.

So should ladders be banned? More people die on them every year than dog attacks.

Banning stuff does not work. Its been proven time and time again. You want people to be responsible make penalties financially crippling and actually enforce laws on the books already.

Seems people like to talk out of both sides of their mouth. Small government on one side more regulations out of the other side.

Guns are a fair comparison for the fact all you see is big scarry dog like a anti gun person sees big scarry black rifle.

generally, the government doesn't have to ban a car like the one discussed above. they get sued out of existence.
