What I already know about dog aggression and Stereotypes. That when I walk my dog some people look afraid of her all because she is German Sheppard even thought she is completely harmless. I know that some of my friends have to get rid of there dogs because there landlords insurance does not cover vicious breeds such as pit bulls a Rottweiler. Today I know the Pit-bull is the most prominent dog used for dog fighting. Some people say these dogs are naturally mean and that is what the dog should be used for. That is a Stereotype, Pit bulls are not mean it is the way the dog is brought up, if the owner is aggressive towards it of course the dog will become aggressive. However just like any breed some dogs will be mean but the owner should take action to make the dog obedient there are classes and just stay in control of the dog. I believe the way the dog is brought is the reason why it becomes aggressive.
I think you have a strong grasp on your topic. I have noticed some people who feel that since the dog is big or by its name they tend to fear them. I think you will do good on this topic since it can go both ways. I mean some people may feel that since the dig is big it may hurt them And the other way around Good job keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI can actually relate to what you are talking about. I had a friend who had rottweiler and it attacked him and completely ripped off his entire nose. I asked him where he had gotten the dog? He told me he got it from the previous owner who supposedly abused it and trained it to attack unwanted people. I thought it was horrible, anyway you are doing a good job trying to prove to people that when dogs attack it is from either them being abused or trained to attack.
