How is a pitty going to bite a dog when its muzzled? They muzzle police dogs & let them attack a person & they aren't able to bite the person.

Treadmills, catmills, spring poles, fenced yards and controlled leash walks. My dogs do just fine. Plus, play dates in a controlled atmosphere with dogs you know they like. Frankly, there are lots of dogs that I think don't belong at dog parks...not just pitties. It's just that pitties are dear to my heart.

I've seen no less than four different pit bulls get out of or otherwise get around their basket muzzles. I've seen police dogs do it too, they're not fail safe and I think people tend to rely on them too much. Think of them like seat belts. Seat belt don't guarantee that you won't get hurt in an accident, but they do better the odds.
