I don't believe she isn't planning on making it a guard dog. I think you may just be making some of this up as you read posts.Anonymous 1 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 11:35 pmYou don't believe bad dog owners exist? Who dont want a guard dog but don't understand the importance of socialization?
My kids are no longer allowed at my sils
I know shes not because we talked about dog training and socialization and she told me the dog will grow up to be well behaved and friendly without that. Shes never had a puppy before only adult dogs.Anonymous 3 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 11:37 pmI don't believe she isn't planning on making it a guard dog.

Just tell her that you will be bringing a stun gun when you visit to protect your kids from her soon to be humongous untrained dog

You are being a bit ridiculous in my opinion. We rescued a lab/Shepard/pit mix and as a newly acquired puppy he had to be kenneled around my two nephews. He had been hurt by his previous owners kids of that age and our otherwise loving dog would bark and growl and try to get them. It was a slow acclimation process that didn’t take one visit. So chill.

I don't think you are overreacting because these type of dogs have been known to break through doors. They need training. Pit Bulls are illegal in Ontario for now.

My brothers dogs have never been trained. They are assholes who bark every time we arrive. They beg for food they bump into you for attention, etc. I’d love if my brother crated them every time we came over. I’d visit more that I do.

But she's not letting him around your kids. What are you complaining about?Anonymous 1 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 11:03 pmSo shes just not socializing the dog and not seeing any danger in that. At this point the puppy wouldn't hurt my kids.Anonymous 2 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 10:58 pm So she kept her dog away from your kids so they wouldn't get hurt and now you don't want them back over there? What was she thinking??
It would make more sense that you'd come to this conclusion if one of them were hurt by the dog.
I'm sure she will be devastated.
But it concerns me because shes not one to see the danger in letting an unsocialized dog around my kids.

It does sound like the real issue you are having is she isnt doing it the way you would do it.Anonymous 1 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 11:34 pmI did actually. I recommended a great dog training program I used for my puppy and suggested she let the puppy get to know my kids whole shes still young.
Sil informed me she has no plans to train or socialize the dog. Shes sure she will be a great dog without any intervention on her part.
You recommend a place, one you used prior with good results.
The advice wasn't asked for so it wasn't received the way you wanted it to be received.
Before there is even an issue [who knows maybe she will decide working with training is a good thing] you make a declaration.
