Marty, if you wanna be a d!(k take it back to Chaz.
This could have been a good thread, and Ive tried to make educational posts from my limited observasions with chaining, but if your gonna pull this carp you are not helping your cause or your breed.
For the PT crowd....
Many people have succesfully chained dogs for years if not decades without problems or damaging their dogs, and not just pit bulls, but sled dogs as well.
I know the anti chainers have all their reasons on why its bad but many of the same problems can crop up with kenneling under the same conditions that damage dogs on a chain, ever look into the conditions racing greyhounds are kept?
I wish you would take a few others with you.

I love my bully!
There have always been new members here, and for most, they are welcomed with open arms.
Not everyone here gets along, as I am sure is true about any forum.
When you roll in, thinking you own the forum after having been here only a few days, it rubs people the wrong way. It has nothing to do with the pet, but the owner.
I have never been banned from a forum or been asked to leave. I try to fit in and yet I still find myself getting into arguments from time to time.
If the socializing part of the forum is something you need to brush up on, please do take the time and then come back with better people skills.
We have members with thousands of posts after many years .... and then someone comes along to tell us how they are here to educate us. We have lots of members who have let us come to know their pets and their solutions to problems. We don't need people to ram information down our throats.
So, if this forum doesn't fit for you, move on and do yourself and us a favor. The upset just isn't worth it and it is dragging down the morale of the forum.
Just for your information - redog (not that it's any of your business) but - I made another call to AC this a.m., and they have agreed to come out and investigate and patrol for this dog. So the squeaky wheel really does get the grease!
And they specifically told me NOT to try to approach him. Obviously they agree with the fact that he could be anything but friendly.

Some people happen to like pet talk just the way it is. We may not have many "professional" dog people, but we do have a sound network of caring, passionate people. I'm sorry if that bothers you.
I haven't seen any slamming of APBT people here. It just gives the wrong impression when one poster posts and thread meant for confrontation and then a whole slew of backup joins to defend. And it just happens that the back up was APBT people. It has nothing to do with the breed of dog you own but the way you carry yourself on the boards.

Okay, I tried my best to stay out. I am an absolutely non-confrontational person, but PT is taking a hit, along with some people that are very special to me and I just can't take it anymore.
FIRST: Out of respect for the original poster and question, I will answer it. I HATE CHAINING DOGS BY THE COLLAR. Do you want to know why? Go see this thread: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...ghlight=NIKATA I understand there are some dogs who pose a threat, or for other reasons need to be restrained. Use a harness or proper dog runs, and don't leave them out to annoy or frighten those around them. I grew up with my family breeding Irish Setters who could jump six foot fences from a standing position. They had runs.
SECOND: PT is a wonderful 'board' (I think that's the proper term) with seriously caring, loving, and accepting PET people. You want proof? Go see the same thread (among many others). They have been very helpful and knowledgeable towards my issues, and those of others; I hope they continue to do so.
There's my two cents. Now (and I have said this before), I'm going back to the kitty threads where I belong. It's much happier there.
