Why would you bring your dog to petsmart if your dog has a agressive problem?

The Chihauhau's went after a Pit Bull? That must have been a sight ...

Did she even get in trouble by the manager or anything? I mean, how can you keep control over three dogs if they're off leash? What if one runs up to the front of the store and gets out when someone leaves? She's sounds really idiotic.

Can you imagine a 90lb. pit bull? MAXIMUS will always give me this look before he gets the "mean fur" and try to defend us? He doesn't know what else to do. He seems to be at a loss of thought.
The worst thing is for some "small dog" (no offense little guys).....to be allowed to go off leash. That is always my worst fear. All it would take is "what...three chomps?" and it's all over. And MY big dog would be the blame. ALL dogs in a 'so called controlled area' should be ON LEASH. No exceptions. That's why I am terrified to take MAXIMUS almost anyplace where things like that could happen. And it's not his fault. Yes, he is dog aggressive, but, he is ok as long as 'no other's' run up and get in his face. And it's always the little guys allowed to do just that. Even when we go on walks, it's always the little growly barky aggressive things that get him all upset. He usually ignores the others. I know the little guys tend to want to be "big and scarry." Actually, I've only been bitten by small dogs. Again, no offense little guys. But, just because they have a "small" bite, they should not be allowed to be anymore 'free' than the big guys. Don't you think???

I agree 110% with you.
