    I saw it on catch up today..couldn't believe the arrogance of those people.pit bulls trained to be aggressive on command,if the police don't react to that programme there's something wrong.if a person has to rely on a dog to give them a status,that says more about the person...disgrace:(

    I think it's a sad reflection on society as well - that people feel like they 'need' protection.

    Either way I can't see the police not acting after their very public admission, if any of those dogs bite someone now, they could quite possibly sue the police for negligence. I can't see them not acting now tbh..

    I watched the first 20 mins and that was enough. Did the blonde women who had the visit from the police have her dogs taken off her?

    I saw the fight that's when I turned it off. Is that why the dogs were caged in the house did they never get on?

    I didn't watch - I knew from the trailer it would just make me angry. If the police take action, who will suffer? Yes, you've got it, - the dogs!

    After watching the channel 4 fighting programme I tend not to bother watching these documentaries which are usually so biased in any case, and produced by the 'ignorant' basically for the even more 'ignorant'. It's another form of cheap reality TV

    This program was a pile of poop absolutely ridiculous showing this beautiful breed of dog in the wrong light. Owners who train their dogs to fight , bite on command. These type of program's anger me and then us the responsible Staffie owners get tarred with the same brush. We need a program titled The Responsbile Staffie Owner and Proud, but no they won't show this type of program it won't pull in the viewers.

    If I've said it once I've said it a million times:.."There are no bad dogs...only bad owners!"
    My 17 year old grandson recently got himself, with his parents permission, a lovely female pitbull puppy. Lucy behaves no differently than any other 10 week old puppy. The first thing I had to tell him was never to admit he has a pit. She's an American Staffordshire Terrier. I then had to explain to him how this breed got such a bad reputation. He was appalled that anyone would teach a dog to be mean and totally grossed out at the idea of fighting dogs on purpose for money. My daughter has a 9 year old long haired Chihuahua, Elvis, who will growl and snap at Lucy because he has no interest in playing and also he's still a bit jealous. Lucy's reaction is to hang her head and go away. That lasts about 30 seconds and she's back trying to play with Elvis and the cycle continues until she gets bored with game and she's off to try playing with one of the cats. Same as any other puppy.

    I agree with the above post,I do like programms like that because of the happy endings, but they do run down the bull terrier type dogs terribly, and to be fair,a lot of other breeds are agressive by nature, my jack Russell thinks she's a Rotty in disguise and the Westie over the road from me always tries for my ankles!think we just need a open mind with it all and hope others have the same

    Did anyone see the Mark Evans programme on TV last night? Titled 'Dogs - Their Secret Lives',
    I nearly skipped it as I thought it would be another CCTV feature. However, I found it quite a valuable contribution to the 'Deed not Breed' debate about dog aggression. He examined fear aggression in a Springer, and a rescued Cairn - both of which they were able to improve. He also asked members of the public to rate photos of various breeds (which included a Staffs. and a GSD) for aggression, and then challenged their preconceptions by pointing out that the only dog which had actually shown any aggression was the Springer.

    I saw it. It made me ultra paranoid about socialising my baby Staff. As soon as she has her jabs we'll be going everywhere.

    I thought it was quite an interesting programme too, Carole.
    What I can't understand though, it why do some first time owners take on rescue dogs with 'problems,' and why do some rescues let difficult dogs go to first time owners? Most of the new owners have the best intentions, but not the know-how to help a dog over it's hang-ups, so they get thrown in at the deep end and take on dogs that sometimes get either passed on again or returned to rescue, and so the cycle goes on.
    I would imagine that the percentage of dogs with problems like aggression, separation anxiety, destructiveness etc who can afford to employ a behaviourist is not very great.

    While she is small enough to still carry, I would suggest taking her out in something like a baby carrier [a front one, not a back one if you know what I mean] so she gets used to people and noises from the start, even before she has had her shots.
