Today's Redeye had a front page story about aggressive dogs in Chicago. Currently, there are strict laws regarding aggressive dogs in the city. Owners who have a dog with a history of aggression must buy at least $100,000 in liability insurance and keep their dogs muzzled when in public. They must also get a dangerous dog license from the city.Some in city hall want to impose further restrictions for people with aggressive dogs. Alderman Eugene Schulter wants to impose a penalty for owners who do not obey the city's dangerous dog ordinances by not allowing them to own a dog for five years. If the owner has two or more dogs declared dangerous he wants the person banned from owning a dog in Chicago for life.
Pit bull and Rottweilers have gotten the most attention in Chicago for being aggressive and dangerous. Is this fair? Redeye takes a closer look.

Training can prevent this, from an early age, but it's never too late to rehabilitate an aggressive dog with proper training- you need a professional trainer and behavior expert.

Training is good. It's also important to understand the breed-specific and age-specific limitations of certain dogs. If you have a dog breed that might be considered "spastic," or if they have weird blood sugar issues, it might be best to stay away from dog parks. Older dogs aren't always appreciative of puppies. Etc.
ReplyDeleteSo yeah, train as much as possible, but do your research and know your dog.
