Dog Health Questions: How long is a dog trained before it fights ?

IM DOING A RESEARCH PROJECT. i dont fight dogs. its totally against my rights.

Would Purchasing a Dog Book Or Dog Training Book Be Useful?

Your first answer is a HUGE indication of the ignorance that permeates YA on a daily basis.
Dogs are BRED for fighting ability, they are not trained to do it, they are ALLOWED to....big difference.
Yes, they are conditioned to fight, just like a human athlete is, but, they are not kicked and burned and treated the way some people claim they are.
No one would treat a dog that has the potential to make them a lot of money like that. Today of course the situation with the scumbags out there that fight these dogs is different then it was 50 years a go when REAL dog-men lived and fighting dogs was consider something different.
Again, dogs that love to fight are BRED for that ability, just like others are for their abilities, not made that way because of training.
Hope I helped.

ADD: You have no idea what you are talking about, nothing unusual about that here. These dogs are BORN to fight, not trained and they are not "loved" and all that BS...
The ONLY thing that saved the dogs that Mr Vick owned was tha fact that they were fighting dogs, BRED to fight= no human aggression....that is why they were able to save them, BECAUSE they were bred to fight, like the standard says that they are supposed to be ANIMAL aggressive.
Learn before you come here spewing humanized emotional crap on things you know nothing about. This is for LOU!

Positive Reinforcement In Your Dog Training

• more times than not these dogs are mistreated to make them aggressive. It depends each person on how they choose to raise these pups. Pits by nature are very friendly and loving, if they are not socialized and trained they can be aggressive towards other animals. If you look at the stats there are more bites from small dogs, but with a Pit there jaws are very strong and once they bite they don't let go- that is why their bite is so lethal. To get a dog to fight they need to be trained to do so, otherwise there would be Pits biting everything. It is a sad situation for a such lovable dog, that is why the fighting Pits are destroyed once they are rescued from these type of situations.


• they run them on treadmills, they give them cats, puppies, racoons to attack. mostly animals that are smaller than them and wouldnt stand a chance. i hate people that are involved in dog fights.
  
  greekgod: and not all dogs are born to fight. eg pit bulls. your just saying that all pits should fight


• I think a lot of them are just thrown straight into fights as soon as they're big enough. Others mistreat them or cause fights between the dogs staying together to train them.
  It's a freakin sick 'sport' ):


• i think people get them as puppys then treat them badly, kick them etc so they become fearful and nasty natured.. they often get them to kill small rodents and cats... then fight them.
