wow crazy story, glad everyone is ok. That is one thing that is driving me crazy about my almsot 7 month old coros. Everytime i bring her to a area where other people are walking there dogs she lunges and wants to play with them:( Most of the time if i jsut walk by she is fine, but if i am jsut standing there and the dogs are walking towards us she gets all excited and pulls.... any suggestions?

Make her stay in "sit". When you starts to jump, tell her "no no no" in a firm, calm voice and tell her "sit". When she sits, tell her "good sit" and reward. If she continues to jump and pull, then turn around and walk the other way and repeat the above.

Patience and consistency is key.

Well not much was said. I think they were just as freaked as I was. The "thugs" remained for the most part silent. As Honor and I wlaked away I could see them talking amongst themselves. Im sure if I had a small dog or a dog that didnt do what Honor did to their Pit they would have tried letting it go further. But like I said before I could see the pride was hurt on the faces of these two bums as we continued down the street. I have seen the kid that wasnt holding the dog lead that I said was smoking a cigerette a few times in the last week. He never says anything just stands there looking all dopppy doing whatever thugs do. Whats even scarier though as the pit was really hurt on the nose, REALLY HURT and I could tell it wanted more. If I wouldnt have stopped this no telling what Honor would have done and major law suit on my hands, or maybe not. I can tell you this though..........some people say that a Cane Corso is not a fighting dog that it was bred for gaurding and that the whole argument of it being a lion destroyer this and that and how old the breed dates back to fighting this and that, well I trully seen what a pure "bad boy" pit bull with the size of Arnold schwarzneger"s body and the head of a bear can TRY to do against a ten month old Cane Corso and it didnt end well for the pit. Scariest situation I have ever been in. Im still upset at all of this that we have to constantly be on our gaurd but its ok. I love my Honor girl no matter how she turns out and at the moment she seems 100% ok in the head :)

Awesome end to awesome story (except for the part where the pit got hurt from his owners bad self lol) hopefully they learn their lesson. Abel at almost 13 weeks is almost as tall as my parents pitbull, I can only imagine what a 10mo old cc would look like...

Glad honor is doing good, I'd be scared of this situation changing my dogs temper net as well, only because I've never been in this situation, but its awesome that this is a happy ending :)

Pit on steroids sounds like a Dogo

I don't think so Dogo's are much too big too be even close to a Pitbull, they are the size of Corso's and very tough. I would think they are much more powerful. This is a Dogo, in no way looks like a Pitbull.

Sounds like a pitbull cross breed, that can be really inbred: American bully, looks like pitbull on steroids but no longer a working dog.

primehns...thats exactly what it looks like. Im famaliar with the "bully breeds, danger zone, red nose crosses, etcetc. I was afraid if I said bully breed nobody would know what I was talking about. I am also famailiar with the dogo. In fact in fla there are quite a few. I would not say they are "tougher than a corso" as ive seen some serious dogo's that are strong and have a high drive, as well as some corsos that would make you poop your pants.

but all in all I love animals period. I DO NOT discriminate any breed. However id say at least 50-60% of dogs in Fla are mainly "bad boy" breeds :)

My pup was jumped by a APBT/Dogo yesterday evening on our walk. It wasn't a major fight thanks goodness but more of teeth baring. This same dog has gotten loose several times and has had incidents with my other dog Tashi. I feel bad for the dog because she doesn't get physical or mental stimulation. I don't want to call animal control of fear of the dog being put down. I will admit that my pup held his own and didn't back down. He's a Presa Canario going on six months. I didn't tell my wife because she would have went APE -Sh@t.

so i went to this new dog park in my town that is fenced in. I decided that we would walk around the outside of it and see how she does. She did great. There is someone who actually watches the dogs and has water and toys for them at the park. Anyways, My pup who is almsot 7 months seems to just run from other dogs. I feel like she gets affraid at times but runs to a women standing there instead of me.... I feel like she doesnt trust me or something. I do most of the corrections at home and during trainning. I also hope she stands up to other dogs and lets them know when she doesnt like something. will she grow into that stage? I hope im not being to hard during trainning and such so that she isnt confident. waht do you guys think? sorry, maybe i should make a seprate post?

Well the reason your dog took the dog by surprise is because that dog's not a pitbull, its a mix, a dog loaded with bulk and can't manuver well. These dog's shouldn't have much dog aggression, it's hard to believe the dog grabbed your dog's scruff, so your not dealing with a Pit.
Yes i would think dogo's are physically stronger, but that's not up to me to decide, a Corso was never bred to be the toughest dog out there.
It's funny how people label any dog resembling a pit a pit, nothing towards you though. These dog's are mutts that are really expensive.

Yeah, I would suggest you make a new post - just so people will see it.

My girl Zoey is respectfull to all dogs that treat her with respect.
She goes out of her way to be friendly, but when she gets jumped she shows a whole new attitude.
She rarely bites, she will toss the bad dog to the ground and stand over them and snarl.
When it is over she gets over it and has never tried to go back for round 2.

I had a incident with one of my previous dogs, at daycare. A white German sheppard attacked him biting off half of his ear. Well my dog reacted by pinning it to the ground and not allowing any of the staff members near them. Everyone thought he was killing the sheppard but it was actually my dog bleeding all over him. He was kicked out of daycare for defending himself, they never once had an issue with him. Stated he couldnt stay because he had the ability to injure other dogs. I should have sued them for not protecting my dog and him losing half his ear.

Now my dogs play with no one unless I know the owner and the dog.
