Dogs learn how to be dogs and obey "dog" rules by learning from other dogs. There are limits to how much humans can communicate with dogs. Not to mention that mental stimulation is way more important to mental health than straight physical exercise. Running next to a bicycle with no ability to sniff and take things in is only enough for the body, nothing for the mind. If you were trapped in a room with nothing but a treadmill to run on you'd go nuts even if you got physical exercise every day. Put a muzzle on your dog if you want to be perfectly safe against your dog biting. My dog has been attacked by a beagle at the dog park. A beagle! No dog is 100% safe at the dog park but any breed has the potential to be 90% safe. You can't live in a bubble and its inhumane to keep a dog in a bubble just because of its breed. Might as well put all pitties down than have them have that quality of life. I'm not saying they should go to the dog park per se, but they should get mental stimulation and walks in places where there are scents and sights of other animals is great for that. Its not something that should be off limits to all pitties as soon as they are born.

I am very much in-between with agreeing with this as well as no dog parks. Im honestly not really a fan of dog parks, period. BUT, I really truly believe that we cannot clump all dogs that happen to be a bully breed as being aggressive. When really it should be based on an individual dog basis. I had a dangerously dog aggressive LAB! In all my years I have never met any other dog regardless of breed more viscous than she was.... yes, she was what I would consider to be viscous. But then again I'm all for responsible dog ownership and accidents need to be taken into consideration as they very well could happen!
