Your Questions About Dog Training Boulder
Carol asks…
is a 5 month old American Staffordshire Terrior to young to take running or on hikes?
admin answers:
No really, but what you are going to want to do is start to condition your dog. Taking him out now on an eight mile hike or 45 minute run is going to stress him out! Start slow – Begin a training regime by running or walking your dog around your
neighborhood increasing the distance as your dog gets in shape.
Remember that your pup is still developing, and he’s going to have to go go go attitude known in his breed 😉 It will be up to you to make sure he doesn’t over do it.
Don’t let the pace get too strenuous and while on those hikes don’t let him jump over a lot of logs and boulders (keep the joint stress down)
Also make sure you warm him up and cool him down before and after – and stretching is a must!

Sandra asks…
Why can’t people see things in a logical manner?
In this country there are over 5 million, it’s one of the most populer breeds and as been for over 100 years, with only 556 deaths in the past 15 years due to dog attacks and those being caused by 56 breeds why do people think that there is danderous pit bulls around every conner. This should prove that most pits are owned by people who take the time to train and keep thier pet pits the right way. If they were as bad as what the news and others make them to be then there would be a death by them everyday and a whole lot more attacks. Over 5 million, you have better odds of getting killed by lighting or attacked by a shark than by a pit bull. I las Vegas there as been no deaths caused by pits for over 20 years and only 5 bad attacks. We have a huge dog fighting problem in N. Las Vegas would you not think our numbers would be higher. These numbers include las vegas, N Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, Nellis air forice base, Puramp, and Mopa
That is 15 years not 100 sorry

Media hype and knee-jerk reactions by people (including politicians) who don’t understand the problem at all.
Discrimination and banning breeds is not the answer. Ask your local lawmakers to pass laws to prosecute the owners of any dog that is allowed to run loose. If someone has a vicious dog of any pure or mixed breed and it menaces or bites someone, that owner should be punished the same way as if he left a loaded gun lying around and a child shot himself with it – make it a major felony!
Physically, almost any dog is capable of killing a child. Even a Golden retriever accidentally killed a child this past winter – the child was sent out to play wearing a scarf. Tragically, the dog thought this was for him to play tug-of-war with and the child died of strangulation.
