We rescued my pitbull from abusive owners and she's extremely skiddish and 'scaredy'. Today I was training her a bit and we were both having fun, she was very good. Afterward, she held the treat in her mouth and let out a few short low growls, like 3 seconds long and 5 seconds apart, and not just for fun, it was AT me, but her stance was straight but not rigid with her tail wagging, and her face relaxed.
She is probably confused and needs time to figure out things. If she is abused badly you may need to put her down. Treats may have followed by a kick or something from the old owner. She may have thought you were going to take it away after giving it to her, even though she was happy for the treat. DON'T make it an issue, but keep a safe distance and clear way of escape incase she turns on you. Abused dogs tend to do turn on new owners, because they are uncertain of what to expect. Mine was rescued, and after nine months of being with me, decided to turn on me, because the confusion finally caught up with her.
I might anger some pet owners by saying this, but it is possible that pitbull should be humanely euthanized. You have doubts as to your safety with this dog or you would not have posted. What happens if a visiting toddler tries to take a treat from the dog? What happens if it gets loose? There are many nice predictable dogs who need rescued. I own two rescued dogs, one for 9 yrs, and one for 5 years, and they have such stable temperaments I never have to worry. One of my dogs was kicked out of the house by a well-off family who decided they just didn't want her anymore. After I adopted her, I had to go out in the fenced yard with her so she could take care of her business. She was afraid she wouldn't ever be let back in again. But her insecurity never came out in growling, just a need for petting and reassurance.
I believe you already KNOW the answer. She needs to be put down. You have a responsibility to protect yourself and others from harm. I applaud your efforts to save her but common sense should surely tell you that in all probability someone is going to be hurt by this dog in the near future!
I think everyone is overreacting. I have rescued many many animals...yes even pits. She IS probably a little anxious and confused because of her past, but with patience and love you can win her over. When she growls at you, firmly say stop that and get up and repeat yourself until she stops. If you are really afraid of her attacking you, you can always attempt to keep some detterent like pepper spray handy in case she does attack. I don't think she will though.
I forgot to mention that I have a dog that does something similar and he does it because he wants THREE treats and is telling me I miscounted. haha
You people are WAY nutty overreacting. I've had rescues all my life & this is typical for some dogs. The dog JUST came into the family & is supposed to KNOW exactly how to act instantly??? Especially since she was abused?? What's wrong with you people? Do you know anything about dogs? You're telling someone to have an animal KILLED because of a normal alpha issue? If one of your skinkids talked back to you would you have them killed? That's how ridiculous you sound. I agree with Corrie. If she gets a negative reaction she will adjust to who's alpha.
I agree, put the dog down, if some one other then you gets hurt you could get sued, I don;t trust pit bulls at all.I have a friend who went out for a walk like he always did, and 2 pit bulls attacked him,he had to have back surgery cause he fell backwards,also hurt his arm, thank God the dogs didn't do any harm other then scare him into fallen backwards, I watch animal planet and those rescue placee would put him down.
Corrie- That's what I thought because it didn't seem angry at all and I have heard that some pits do a little laugh that is alike to a growl, but im not experienced with dogs so i put her outside anyway haha. We've had her for over a year with no problems so i don't quite think that puting her down is an option quite yet.
Thank you so much everyone for your feedback!
I don't really want to get into this debate as pit bulls are now a banned breed in Australia.. there have been too many attacks on smaller dogs, cats, and people too. However, a friend who is a dog trainer told me that if your dog.. whatever breed.. becomes bossy, stand perfectly still and stare up at the sky as though totally bored with the performance, I have tried this with my cat who is a fiesty lady, and prone to nip at feet and ankles, and it worked with her.
It seems to me she wants to play.
Sometimes you can tell this by the tail wagging.
She may have been abused by taking away her food.
Anyway, be vigilant and don't trust completely.
Dogs can sense fright.
Good Luck
Are you people crazy! She has had the dog for a year without any problems. Why would you want to put the dog down. I rescued a dog and he is the only male, I have 2 females and he tries to be the alpha but I don't let him get away with it. Just give him time out. I've had him 6 years already and he still tries to get away with things but I wouldn't trade him for anything. Why would you people want to put a dog to sleep for just being a dog? What it would be like putting a child to sleep for being fresh. All the dog needs is love and understanding. Good for you for adopting him.
I agree with the Guest Post. In the first place I've had Pit Bull dogs for 30 years and yes they can be mean, they can be vicious, they can hurt people, that's very true. BUT they can be very loving ,very protective, loving kids and babies and loyal. they are no different from other dogs except for the way they're raised.
they don't trust strangers and probably for a good reason. I was told years ago that if your dog doesn't trust someone there's a good reason, they sense thing we don't. this is true..a dog will sense your fear and act accordingly, growling, stiff neck tail down or straight out, but they also will wag the tail as in playing..get to know the dog and if you feel intimidated, play only for a few minutes and watch the dog to see his or her reaction..my Lab growls at me when he wants me to chase him around the yard. he loves it. the next time the dog growls, tell him in a mean voice to "knock it off -NOW" and leave him alone. don't EVER stare at a dog, it makes them very nervous. patience works wonders.
for all you people that would "put the dog down" maybe you should be put down when you have a bad day with a stranger. a lot of these poor animals have the rep because of drug dealers training. the dog has no choice of how he's raised. give them a break. check out the owners first. there in lies the problem..
LOVE heals all wounds, give your dog time, and please give lots of love and praise !!! How would you feel in your dogs place ?? :-)
i would not say right off to put the dog down. but lets face it pits have something in them that most other dogs do not. she could be thinking about her past abuse and just all of a sudden take it out on you. look at human beings. sometimes we live in abusive relationships and come out of them into a loving envirnment. then all of a sudden something cracks. some people become abusers themselves or God forbid murderers. why should we expect more or less from a dog. ???
I agree that putting the dog down would be an enormous over-reaction. I am not particularly a fan of pits, but will say that one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met was a pitbull. Your dog's behavior sounds like food guarding/aggression. And I agree, don't look at her when she behaves like this- it is often perceived by the dog as a sign of aggression from you. Just work with the dog, be very careful, and if the behavior persists, certainly think of a professional trainer---do everything possible before considering euthanizing.
It would seem to me that having a treat in her mouth was the problem. After training, give her the treat praise her alot and walk away. She earned the treat and may feel threaten if you are in her face.Do not give up on her. Pitbulls have this rep due to stupid humans. it is not her fault she was abused.
Hello,
I didn't really read through each and every response and I will apologize in advance for that. But I think you should watch the "the Dog Whisperer" with Ceaser Millan. According to Ceasar dogs live inthe moment. So forget the abuse she suffered in past and learn how to be the alpha dog in your household. You don't have to be mean to your dog just firm. You cannot get aggressive with an already aggressive dog (doesnt matter what the breed) They read your body and tension. You have to remain firm, calm and in control. My hubby and I have learned a tremendous amount from this man. He is informative and he is amazing. He has had frightened to death people of their own dogs take charge and in very short period of time.
Well, engough on him. I wish you the best with your pooch!!

Years ago, I had a boxer who didn't like me to get near her during meal time.
So give your dog some nice praise, and then throw that doggie treat away from you and let the dog snap it up mid air.
She only growled....she did not nip, snap, or bite, so putting her down is quite an overreaction. As stated by others, throw the treat to her and walk away/ignore her.
Right guys, this is all great advice. Should I include that I wasn't facing her when she growled at me. I was turned around looking in the refridgerator when she did the growl thing from behind me, which I am begining to believe was not even a real growl, because now that I watch her she does the same thing while we're playing in the yard and with my dad when he's rewarding her for rolling over and what not. I think I was just being paranoid cause I'm usually not home alone with big dogs and she didn't want to be done doing tricks or something. Thank you so much for all your advice, everyone!!
I rescued an abused Pit a couple of years ago but he just seems to be vocal, when I come home he runs towards me a toy grumbling in his throat, if he thinks I should be in his line of view he barks, if he is disgusted like no tidbits, he will sigh deep in his throat, when he does misbehave which he does to explain to you that he's not happy, like oh you were gone along time now your home watch me in the garden, his feelings are hurt because I left, and again for being in time out, but I have learned that they are very sensitive, ignoring the dog and telling him well I use safe zone, as his sit in the corner time out, he knows what it is but has become less and less, they only want to please us and be loved
We just found a pitbull mix and he had been badly abused. We kept him any way and we have 2 smaller breeds. He does fine with children and dogs we just maintain a stern voice never raise our hand to him he has already been abused. We don't want him to feel that will happen again. It's a little scary sometimes but I won't give up. It's not his fault what happened to him and I won't be the next human to give up on him.
My dog, Rex, makes a low, grumbling noise when he wants to go out to the bathroom. He also makes that noise to get my attention when he is hungry, thirsty or wants to play. It was a little disconcerting when he first made this noise, because it sounds like a growl. He will put his head in my lap and make this noise several times until I figure out what he wants. If I continue to ignore him, he will bark a high pitched bark. Sometimes this throaty, deep, growl is just their way to communicate with us. If she is not food aggressive or toy aggressive then she is probably communicating with you. Keep up the training. It will pay off in the end.
Don't worry at all about the growl. I just adopted an abused pit and have been involved with pit rescues since I was a child. They tend to do that as a way of communicating. She may be trying to say that she's anxious. They are very vocal and emotional dogs. Remember that she cannot help having a deep voice. The depth of the voice tends to freak people out but if it was a higher pitched tone and a smaller breed you wouldn't think twice. Just keep training her, she'll love you forever for adopting her!
All according to, how old she is, putting her down is not needed, whoever posted this, does not know this breed. a small growl is hardly more than any other dog would do in a situation of challenge. However a pit will not decline a challenge from human or animal.
I own a male red nose for nine years, He went to puppy training with a reliable vet when he was a pup. He sometimes, growls if he has an article he wants and does not want to give back, and I said, what? and he lets go. You have to let the dog always know who is boss and, if its a treat, why are you trying to take it back? if you give a treat, dont try to pull food or treats out of the dogs mouth. However you need to get control, in case the dog ever gets a bone or dangerous item, and you need to be able to have him break and let go.
Whoever said, you should put this dog down, because she growled with a treat in her mouth, is a very stupid person and knows nothing.
Have the dog evaluated by a professional trainer that deals with breeds such as pitulls.
My dog, growls low if im cooking at the stove, he knows each and everything I cook, he will low growl when he wants to go out, then back for me to open the door to let him back in.
by the dog growling when you try to take a treat back, shes saying, NO its mine, you gave it to me, why do you want it back?.
If you persist there is a chance she could snap at you.
This dog does not seem aggressive to what I am hearing, because if she were, the minute you would have tried to take the treat you would have been savagely mauled without notice.
I think you have a good little dog there, and she needs to know whos boss, thats all, and you might be spoiling her with to much love and not enough teaching at who is the boss.
also, it is important to make her sit, for everything, before eating, before treats, teach her SIT command this is very very important, as she will know she totally depends on you for her needs.
My male is a 85 lb rednose, and I wouldn't give him up for anything in the world, he is my friend, family and security guard.
Here are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community.
My Pit Bull is 4 years old. He is a rescue and we have had him for 4 months and he has bitten 6 people. We are thinking of sending him to school or getting him a shock collar, but the last thing on our list is to put him down. What do you guys think? We aren't sure. Please help us.

I've studied about this issue and here's what I've learned to share with you:
There's danger with a biting dog....I'd certainly keep the dog away from children and other pets. What are the adults doing when the dog bites them? Are they bothering the dog while it's eating? Sleeping? Approaching the dog too suddenly? Speaking too loudly?
I read on the 'net about a dog who shows its tongue is approachable, but if it's in its mouth where you cannot see it; leave it be. Talk but don't touch. Now this doesn't pertain to mild mannered dogs, but to those who have issues.
This dog could be an "Alpha" or leader dog and is protecting its territory from strangers or those it does not know that well who are maybe friends or family not living with you or is feeling overwhelmed.
If you are home with the dog all day and then have a higher level of sound; that may trigger annoyance in the dog. Watch for signs of change in the dog and keep note what you were doing at the time of the bite or aggressiveness showed.
The dog may have been abused as well and is very distrustful. Put the dog in an enclosed place while people are visiting so nobody else gets bit. It only takes one person to experience a dog bite no matter how severe it is to sue for medical expenses and pain and suffering and you may have to be required to have the dog put down anyway. Better to be safe than sorry and keep your money in your pockets.
Study over the 'net about pitbull dogs so you understand their behavior and it could even turn on you. Cesar Milan, the Dog Whisperer deals with such problems in a lot of dogs; not always a pit bull. Get his dvds and learn from him.
Whatever you choose for a method; be consistent that when the dog shows aggression even if it hadn't bitten, keep the dog away from you for a period of time so it gets the message you're not having it around you if it wants to snap. I know there are some websites that say grab the dog by the scuff of the neck, but this is dangerous as you may not have such fast reflexes as the dog and it'll have your hand full of his teeth before you can react. A dog has its own body language and it's up to you as the owner to learn them, so you know what the dog is meaning. Get books or whatever is necessary to learn about the alpha dog or abused dog that bites; do a google search as there's so much over the 'net. There are good rules to follow in the way you behave around the alpha dog and you must continue in them so the dog will know you are in control not him.
Bad behavior requires punishment, but do not hit the dog, place it in a cage or away from sight. I'd also recommend using a muzzle on the dog when it goes outdoors. If the dog should get loose from its property; it won't be able to go into attack mode and bring harm to anybody or their pets with its teeth. Again, I cannot impress staying in a safe mode to protect others and yourself enough. Do not trust this dog, just as you think the dog is ok, it'll show you that it really isn't and you may not be prepared.
I don't want to leave any stone unturned if I can think of any, but to add other thoughts forgotten:
Do not play tug of war with the aggressive dog unless you know you are going to come out the winner. Do not play chase with this dog as it already knows it can outrun you and that lets the dog know he has control in these areaa and is the leader. You must not appear weak to him. Don't baby the dog, but use a firm voice of command.
Play with the dog a lot as it needs exercised which helps to burn up that energy and help to calm him down so it's ready to relax. A content pet is a happy pet and all this will help, but it's a lot of work on your part to see the dog is exercised and may require more than a daily, but twice. A backpack made just for dogs can be put on him before walking which will help to wear him down faster if you haven't enough time for really long walks everyday. The backpack can hold your drinks or a treat for him. Keep that muzzle on the dog while it's on its walk. You can buy a muzzle that allows the dog to still drink water and breathe easily.
When I was younger I was mauled by an 8 year old Great Dane that I later learned had bitten many, many people. I had over 150 stitches to sew my scalp back on. I know you love your dog but for what ever reason, 6 bites is a red flag.
You didn't say the circumstances for the bites.
A 4 year old dog that bites though may be controlled, he can never be trusted.
I love dogs more than anything else in this world and in all honesty I would contact an animal medium and there are many to choose from and have them deal with your dog.
You will know why the dog does what he does and the medium will be able to tell you exactly what is going on.
You can talk to a hundred different people and each person is going to have their own idea.
I put down a 5 year old Chocolate Lab that I had raised from 12 weeks old for being a fear biter. 98% of the time he was by far the best obedient dog I've ever had but that other 2% was beyond dangerous. Brewster had a serious issue with thunder and fireworks and the kids in the next yard were playing with a bunch of fireworks when he turned on me. He climbed up in my bed and literally was an inch or two away from my throat.
I whispered over and over gain for him to get off the bed and he eventually did but that was just to close for comfort and I put him down the very next day. It broke my heart and tore my guts out all at once and then the Vet gave me a hard time about putting him down.
I knew and loved my dog but I was wise enough to know I didn't have a choice.
You've had this dog only 4 months and he's already bitten 6 people, were they kids? Neighbors? Family members? The dog for what ever reason has issues and no matter what you do, or to whom you speak, you will never be able to trust this animal no matter how much you've grown to love it.
There's an old saying, "A growl is a bite that hasn't happened yet".
I also do rescue work and I get the dogs that do bite, I'm the last step before an animal is put down.
I got a call about a Basset Hound and when I went to pick her up she had bitten the Vet Tech and then went for me as well.
Her owner had died and his wife tied her up in the backyard which backed up to a Middle School.
She was tormented by the kids and when people tried to pet her, she didn't know if she was going to be hit or petted and just flat out bit everyone.
I had her for 8 months and I thought I was a miracle worker with her but I accepted she was that way only with me. It took time and she bleneded well with my other dogs but anytime I had company she had to be locked away. That's no way to live and trying to find a home for a known biter is very, very hard.
There couldn't be any children, neighbor's children, what if the dog got loose and some little kid thought, oh, look at the cute puppy only to reach down and get bit in the face.
I talked to people in our Dog Club and made several calls to canine behaviorists and as a group we all decided to put the dog down. All of us were concerned about what sort of life and future the dog had and that she would bite again, just didn't know when.
Some dogs are worth saving, but stop thinking with your heart and start thinking of the consciences.
There's also different levels of biting, there are nips,
circle and run in and grab a leg, some go for arms that swing. Puppies aren't born mean, though I won't take a puppy if either of it's parents had bitten anyone either. In most cases if the mother dog bites, so will the pups.
The Great Dane that turned on me we later learned went from rescue group to rescue group to rescue group and he bit 3 more people after me before he was finally put down.
Doing the right thing is never easy and there are so many other dogs that need to be rescued and loved.
You will never be able to really enjoy the dog, dog parks, hiking, going to PetSmart because you mentally will be on guard at all times whether you believe it or not.
I wish I knew the circumstances that he did bite, food issues can be resolved is it possible to find out anything about his past? Don't you wonder how many other people he has bitten before you got him? I really feel for you and this is way too serious for me to candy coat for you. Even if you were to find a place that would take and train the dog, when you finally got it back you would discover that the dog would no longer bite the trainer, he and the dog would of bonded by then, but you be open game and it wouldn't happen right away.
I recommend you find out the biting laws where you live. Many states give a dog one bite and that's it.
Another possiblity that might be fair to the dog is to find a Guard Dog Company and see if they will take him. I've seen where after a business closes up for the night, the dog is dropped off and picked up again in the morning and it's handled by only one person.
Or as nasty as it sounds, a junk yard where during the day he's kept inside away from everyone and let loose at night to roam the property.
I would be horrified if any of my dogs bit anyone and if your dog really does hurt someone, you can't just stroll into the courtroom and tell the judge that the dog is a rescue dog and you weren't aware it bites. You are legally resposible for any physical damage this dog had done and will do in the future.
Please think this thing through, you would not be a bad person for putting the dog down. Biting 6 people in 4 months is a pretty dangerous, some fights are worth fighting for, this one is not.
Did you know if the dog really hurts someone badly, you could end up serving time, if you have children Social Services could get involved and there's so much more to it.
I'm sorry but biting 6 people is not something to be thought of lightly by any means.
I really am a nice person and I love dogs more than people but you're really not thinking clearly. Those 6 bites are a warning and I would take it very seriously. If Beau had been put down after the 3rd person he bit I would of not been mauled and traumatized by it. Months after I had been bitten I learned that Beau never stayed in any one place longer than 6 months. The last person he bit was a 5 year old little girl who was watching TV and he bit her on the back of her head. I have no idea how many people Beau had bitten in his lifetime but somehow, he just got away with it, home after home after home.
I'm sorry for having so much to say but it really upset me because you didn't seem to care anything about the people your dog bit.
I wish you well and don't make the mistake of thinking he won't turn on you. I can't express enough just how dangerous this dog is.
Your dog is fortunate you are willing to work with him and not put him down. Dog training (obedience) is not going to help with aggression. he needs rehabiliation simiiar to what the Dog Whisperer ( Cesar Milan ) does. Also Mr. Leerburg has worked to rehabilitate agressive dogs. Some have been former trained "attack" dogs. Here is a link to his materials, some of which are free on the internet. Best of luck with your pitty. I think they are a wonderful and misunderstood breed.

I just had a similar situation with my 3 year old Rottie. I had breed and raised Rottie's back in the mid 1980 but after my last Bitch had to be put to sleep I could not deal with getting another and switched to Boxers. I called the Los Angeles Rottweiler Rescue and spoke with them as the current Rottie I have goes after my grand daughter (and other small children) when not wearing her Service Dog jacket. In work mode she is perfect. Not in an aggressive fashion, but a curious one and with a Rott that is not permissible. The trainer had the Rott a direct descendant of my original Rottie from back in the 1980's so the fact that she looked like her great grandmother just added to the emotional component.
After a lengthy conversation with one of the representatives at the Rottweiler Rescue it was determined that I should in fact put her down. She had gone after two 2 year olds and had 2 warning bites of a neighbor and a dog. I backed out and could not do it. Which thankfully was a blessing.
Two weeks later the other representative from the rescue called and we spoke for at least an hour. Now I am a dog trainer, a Service Animal Advocate for the disabled for over 25 + years and so I know what I am doing. After a lengthy conversation the representative who knew the breeder well and we agreed he was an idiot (I am being kind here). The dog was a rescue at 18 months from a family original sold for 4,000.00 and returned as part of a divorce and came back with no socialization or discipline skills what so ever. I paid $1.250.00 for her so he made double the money on her! Plus she has hip dysplaysia and cannot be breed so I will never see that money back
As I have three other dogs, the pack situation was taken care of. My husband and I joined forces and took care of any food aggression issues and the dogs eat together and her food can sit in front of her for hours and until she is released by one of us she will sit patiently.
The warning bites, one to a neighbor walking my fence line thinking by walking with her back turned along a 2 acre property was OK and the dog would allow it, apparently the Rott did not like it and simply gave a warning, because as we all know if a Rottweiler wants to bite seriously it can. The second bite was after my daughters Yorkie with a Neapolitan complex who tortured the Rottweiler from day one of us getting her and the Yorkie went after my son's Boxer who my Rottie adores and she was protecting the Boxer. again - justified, even by the emergency vet who we brought the Yorkie to as she had a puncture wound in her neck. Because again if the Rottie had wanted to kill her as if she were prey she would have.
My advise to you (I don't know what state you are in) is call your local Pit Bull Rescue and tell them honestly - they will be candid with you. Four bites is a lot, but it is all determined by the circumstances and I agree with the previous post training is going to do nothing you must have rehabilitation as we are currently doing with our Rottweiler. She is kept kenneled or on our side behind an 8 foot wrought iron fence with a grate on it so little hands cannot reach her. Since my grand daughter only lives with me part time it works out perfect. Joint custody issues. I keep my dog - and the Rottie is in reform school for all intensive purposes and has learned that even the 18 months toys are off limits and she will not on her own accord step into the child's room.
Rehabilitation is not easy. It takes a huge amount of time, energy and effort - but is worth it if the dog is quality and only you know your dogs back ground. I strongly suggest you call the Pit Bull Rescue and be totally honest, they are there to help and assist and if necessary will help you put the dog down if it goes that far.
Remember, these are animals and instincts are instincts and we as humans as much as we love and adore our animals as family member can only do so much. Better put to sleep humanly than to have a disaster with life long injuries or trauma. If you are in the LA, CA area email me and I will pass on the trainer who is supposed to be as good as if not better than Cesar Milan but he is not cheap, it's $250.00 an hour. To rehabilitate is a serious investment.

I rescued a year and a half old blue nose female Pit Bull that was already fixed. The person from the rescue place told me the owner was moving and could no longer keep her. I have had her for about four months.
She seems to have had some training. She knows sit, shake paw, and no. She is like a baby she thinks she is a lap dog. She will even let you pick her up and hold her on your hip with her arms around your neck.
My mom has a small dog like a Maltipoo with three legs. On one or two occasions prior to me getting Princess from the pound my mom's dog has met her on a pass by. I then moved and it had been three months since visiting my mom. We spent the night. My mom had brought her dog in the front door from going to the bathroom. I was asleep on the living room floor and my Pit was on the the couch watching my mom's dog walk over to me. She then leaps off of the couch and starts attacking him. I felt so bad I was yelling and screaming at her, "Stop Princess, no let him go this is not OK." Thank God she didn't hurt him and she did let go. I was so mad at her I put her in the car for a good ten minutes and went out and told her that was not OK and walked away and left her for another five minutes. The funny thing is she turned her ears and cowed down her face like she knew she did something wrong. Do I need to worry about her attacking all the time and do Pits really have locking jaws?

I adopted a Pit Bull about 10 months ago and she is two. Since I brought her home I have had to work on basic things - potty training, sit, leave it, and drop it. Introducing her to others has gotten better, but isn't perfect. She had attacked my smaller dog over food back in October. Since then I have been working on letting her know she is not the dominant dog out of the two, and I think they are doing better.
But I still have difficulty every day walking her because she won't stop pulling. I've tried to get training, but every place has refused me because my dog is a Pit Bull. Can anyone give me advice? Another main concern is she doesn't do well with kids, anyone under the age of about 12 she has a problem with. And I have 2, 4 year old nephews who are waiting so patiently to say hi to her.
My 2 year old female Pit Bull that I rescued last year is jumping at people for no reason. She wags her tail at them and gets along with them sometimes. How can I fix this issue?
