Rite Or Wrong I do not mind what you think !

When I run my Apbt on its leash while I am on Rollerblades it has bad behavior ...... I corrected this behavior with a firm hand but yet fair hand ..

I believe in my dogs case(APBT)9 months old and nuder) Tests his limit agents me and my children ... So I put him in his place .

The point I am trying to make ! I find its breed a hard head but at the same
time if you come to know the bread you fall in love with its will to please and ability to take it to the limit .

I own a German shepherd and a Apbt so I get both ends of the Breeds
one that loves to pleas ! And one that will pleas no matter what suffer gets
induces on it .

I LOVE MY American Pit Bull .

I am not sure if I quite understand this post or not....what exactly is he doing that needs to be corrected?

From what I understand, the only advice I know I can feel comfortable giving would be...unless you have complete control of your dog, you to ditch the skates! LMAO! Seriously that can be a dangerous thing.....and the next one to make the headlines depending what problem it is you are having I suppose.....
could you elaborate?

I do worry about using the firm hand and testing his limits with him and his children. What do mean by firm hand? Do not hit the dog and try to test its limits.

Here's the deal: If he is showing bad behavior when you are on rollerblades, then you need to take a step back and go back to basic leash training while you are on foot. The truth is, when you are on rollerblades, you have much less control over him than when on foot. And I'm wondering if it's more of an issue with you than with the dog. For example, he's just taking advantage of the laxity of the situation.

This dog doesn't need a beating to the head, it needs obedience and leash training.

I still do not have a good understanding of this "problem" but I will have to agree.......I mean Are you hitting the dog because it acts up? Or displays behavior you do not like?

Like I and Mia said...drop the roller blades and get a grip on your dog!

I am sorry for not giving a good exampl:

When I walk my Apbt it will lunge around and bite at its leash and if my
hand is in the way it will lay into it . \

So I Corrected its behavior by a firm hand "I DO NOT BEET MY DOG LOL"" Imo
That is silly .....

(But) on the same note when my dog spun around to get its leash i put it in its place :Like kicked its little but: .

It worked ...........................................

What I want to get out is THIS ....... A Apbt can take advantage of you for
the dog is vary smart so do not be a bitc# to it .

ANY dog can take advantage of you if you let it happen. I am not a big fan of any physical means to discipline a dog. There are other ways to train a dog without hitting.

Ok, I will say it again.....DITCH THE SKATES and get control of your dog....
You need to do as Mia (I believe suggested) go back to basic training..if you have done it, then now is a really good time to start, this needs to be handled now......
You have just said basically that if your does not get what it wants when it wants it will snap at your hand to get it out of the way....this is NOT ACCEPTABLE.....by any means....
You need to practice NILIF.....and get your dog under control....He is not and should never be allowed to "be in charge" (so to speak)

Here is the link for NILF:

I would strongly advise you to practice this to its fullest extent!

[bernokarl]

I Like the NILF This is the type of answerer I was looking fore

I would ditch the skates but this it the only problem I have . My Apbt
walks on its leash like a Pro No problems at all .

My dog had a drop problem with its rope and I corrected this behavior
with hot dogs , Now my dog will drop on command and I keep him sharp
be practicing every day ..

After my dog spun and bit my hand (Witch it did not mean to do) I pined
it on the ground and scalded it "I was a little angry and my hand was bit
prity hard " I did not have the same problem again .

I do not believe in hurting my dog and I did not. But it got the point when I put it down . I Love the NILF and I only used the method of pining my
dog when it bit my hand THE DOG DID NOT CONSIDER MY HAND
BEING IN THE WAY OF THE LEASH .

Well then if that is the case, it seems as though you have a HA dog on your hands......

HA is not and should not be tolerated!

[megschristina]

no offense, but from now on please please please write in english, I can't understand a thing you are trying to say.

Amen!!!!

No need to give them a hard time over their "English". Instead of giving them stress, why don't you try to understand the fact that English does not seem to be their first language and WE need to try harder to understand and help them.

bernokarl's situation comes across as....

Their dog has an issue with the leash and will bite the leash. The nip on their hand was due to the dog going for the leash and hitting the hand instead. No HA there from what I can see as long as the dog lets go as soon as it realizes it has more than a leash in it's mouth.

bernokarl, does this happen on a normal walk or only when you are on the skates?

Yea, that is how I am understanding the OP too.

[bernokarl]

The dog will only bite the leash when im on the skates , Another thing
to add to this , When I play tug with its rope the dog will also do the same thing / Gets so caught up in the moment it will go for the rope/Leash even
with my hand/leg in the way .... And yes after I yell from being bit dog will
let go rite away only to take another shot at it .

When I mentioned this
I believe in my dogs case(APBT)9 months old and nuder) Tests his limit agents me and my children ... So I put him in his place
When I threw my kids under the bus on this one , Its over the same fact that
the dog seams to have no regard for a hand (Little or big) Of being in its way
I Would get mad at this type of behavior from my dog and saw it as a challenge to me and the rest of my pack ..........
I think I Am wrong this is not my dog being domnet it has a learning problem
like a glitch of some type .

My dogs dally behavior with the kids and other dogs and cats is just that
of any other normal dog .

Say: NO and ignore the dog. Keep doing this until the dog understands that this is not acceptable behavior.

[bernokarl]

Here is a mini series of what I have been doing to get it rite with the dog .

This is about actual how long I will work with dog at a time ,, The sessions
will get longer and longer .. Also I will try to practice in different situations
OUT Side,Inside,With Kids Around,/Without exc......

Any pointers welcome .
