If she’s reactive that isn’t good.. I have a pit bull and we pay for her yearly as it’s against city ordinance not to.. one wrong move and you are fined AND she’s taken on a no second chance. Anyone who adopts this dog needs to understand that.

Actually, being reactive, is a trauma response in her case. She was literally thrown out of a moving vehicle less than a week ago. Reactivity turned into aggression “isn’t good” , so attention to training as soon as reactivity has been identified is actually the most important part in her (and many dogs) cases. Not only that, but she has already been taken to a very reputable vet, with whom she will be officially established within this week. I had to wait because of her being microchipped, however, we are in daily communication.

Thank you for your input - I also am 1) trained in animal behavior/body language and redirection 2) have access to and have begun to work with other professionals.

I’m fully aware of what people and prospective owners “need to understand” as I am very familiar with interpreting and applying various ordinances and laws.

You have pit bull, this is a lab mix as confirmed by her microchip :) that’s not to say she does not have a mixture, however, she is not full or does she have “majority of characteristics” of one.
