Rottweiler Attack In CT
As with most stories of this nature, we may never know all the details leading up to the actual incident. A large Rottweiler was off leash in a park and killed a 10 lb dachshund. The story points out the local law requires dogs to be leashed.
Regardless, behavior like this in many dogs frequently has common themes. I don't know whether the owners of this attacking dog had more dog than their experience could handle, but given some of the reported details in this story I'm left to wonder. It's not uncommon that some people buy large and powerful breeds for status, not having any clue of the responsibility involved.
If you own a large and powerful breed, early and effective training to develop discipline and respect are an absolute must. Even if the dog is friendly with you, that's no guarantee of good behavior outside the home, with other animals, guests, etc. Training helps to build behavior in which you can have confidence. It develops trust. Without training, your taking a tremendous risk . . .
