On a facebook group someone posted that they just got a pitbull. The dog is great with people, very friendly, pesters the cats but 'that's what dogs do' but they weren't sure how to see if the pitty was good with other dogs.
The advice given by a bunch of people? Let's all go to the dog park with our dogs to see if this dog is good with other dogs:doh: really? UGH!!!!
I responded that it might be a better idea to go for a leashed walk and see how the dog reacts to other dogs, or attend classes, same idea, vs. tossing the dog into a dog park full of new dogs off leash to see what goes on.
So, what's the worst dog advice you've heard?
