YAPB Thread

[compuwiz1]

Here is my concern. I live in a complex, which clearly has a leash rule...all dogs, must be on a leash at all times. Not only that, but Pit Bulls are on the "not allowed" list. I normally mind my own business, but this has me concerned.

A guy who just moved in has a Pit. When he takes it out, he initially has it on a leash, til he gets the dog to the grass in front of my unit. It is here, where he takes the dog off the leash, and lets it run, so it can do it's business. We have lots of kids, elderly, and other dogs in the community. What if this dog decides someone's Chihuahua, or kid will make a good snack? So far....the dog seems well behaved. Is this a chance worth taking? Should I do something, or continue to mind my own business?

Cliffs:
1. We have a leash rule in our community
2. We don't allow Pit Bulls
3. New neighbor has Pit Bull
4. Lets Pit Bull run, off leash
5. Concerned the dog will hurt someone.

This is not a Pit Bull bashing thread. What would you do, knowing this?

I'd report it to the management, plain and simple.

Rules are rules. It's one thing to test boundaries as a child... it's quite another to sign a legal contract with specifications and then act as though what you agreed to doesn't matter.

It's the PAB-lovian response.

I concur.

If you still have a problem after the edit, then that's fine, bring up your concerns with the management.

Any dog is capable of damage, or injury to other people. And Labradors are allowed here, just not off leash!

 

[BooGiMaN]

if he is breaking a rule and in so doing is making you feel uncomfortable to live there....then report the problem

 

[Theb]

Since the dog is well behaved I wouldn't worry about it.

Shoot the dog.

On second thought, shoot the owner, then shoot the dog.





I kid, I kid.

:beer: for a logical thinker who doesn't knee-jerk to the pit hatred.

Mention that the dog is off-leash to management, but don't say the breed. He keeps his dog, people stay safe, win-win.

Here's the deal- pit bulls in general are bred to fight. They can be very sweet, but if incorrectly handled, they are deadly. They are much stronger than the average dog. There's a huge difference between an aggressive cocker spaniel and an aggressive pit.

If the person is letting the dog run free where it's not allowed, that may mean he doesn't adequately control his animal in other ways. Dog owners MUST maintain dominance, especially with such a powerful breed.

This is potentially serious. Maybe you should leave an anonymous note on his door, with phone numbers and web addresses of some dog trainers, telling him you will report him if he doesn't get the situation in hand. If nothing happens, tell the management...if nothing happens then, call the police. Don't feel bad for the animal- feel bad for its potential victims, and do the right thing. Odds are very good that he'll just start using a leash, the dog was never a problem anyway, and everyone will be happy.

Consider the alternative. Stinks that you have to do anything at all, though. People should just learn to control their animals.

Potentially win-lose. If the guy didn't bother to let them know he has a pit, I wouldn't be surprised if he neglected to mention that he has a dog at all, thus skipping out on pet rent and pet deposit.

 

[Linflas]

Absent any signs of aggression from the dog I would leave the management out of it and just talk to the guy and ask him to keep the dog leashed. Even without the building management rules most communities have leash laws and to protect himself and his dog it is best to abide by them unless he has a private fenced area for the dog to run loose in.

Potentially, but better than the win-KeyedCar of letting them know that he has an unfairly demonized and banned dog rather than just a "dog"

[umbrella39]

Sounds like a clear cut case of not obeying the rules and conditions to live there. I would report the guy, not because it is teh evil pit bull, but because he is either oblivious to the rules you cited or he is overtly being an ass by breaking them and topping it off by flaunting his disregard by letting it run unleashed. Is this a puppy or a full grown dog btw? Not that it matters I guess.

Oh I agree. I'm just saying it would suck if the guy got evicted outright for not telling them he had a pet in the first place (I've received such threats from complex managment before).

But yeah, if OP lets management know the guy has a dog, he needs to just say "dog".

Why does everyone feel they should protect the guilty? ****** him.

Pit Bulls are on the "not allowed" list

 

[leftyman]

Next time you see the guy talk to him and explain the leash rule to him.
As far as it being a pit bull, it is all in how the owner raises a dog and the the individual dogs temperament, not the breed as a whole.

Well, it doesn't seem everyone is, m4h, me and maybe a couple others. I don't give a sh!t if it's on the "not allowed" list, I think it's a stupid rule and am encouraging a little civil disobedience in this case. You don't have to like it.
