Pitnutter hypocrite attacked me

I am a certified dog trainer who goes to pet homes to help with training

I wanted to share this story for quite a while

6 months ago I was visiting owners who mentioned aggressive behavior of their terrier,aggressive to owners if they try to put collar on him,n connect leash

I went to see this home. Dog is actually a pitbull,over 50 lbs,lean,not bully type,but very typical apbt

About3 y old,had him from age 3 months,adopted from bully rescue

When owners trying to put a collar,regular flat one,he grab their wrists n hold it,body is stiff. If other owner succeed to put collar while pittie hold husband's wrist,dog jumps n try grab wife hands. Head slapping n grabbing leash on walk,escalating to growl if owner pull leash back. Look like alligator in a trap.

They tried to distract him with a treat or toy but he dont let go the leash

So they cant really do much,cant walk,cant place him in crate,because" he doesn't allow"

He had very uncomfortable stare all time i was there.

I mentioned that it does look like as very dangerous case n said it can get worse any time

Nothing I can do, im not interested to get mauled. I cant touch this dog without risk being grabbed by him.

Not muzzle trained of course,muzzle only placed by vet every visit

They re 60 y old. I asked why they got this exact dog,they said they had grandkids n want dog breed who is known to be sweet to small kids,so they did research n chose pitbull

I did showed them few news from internet where pits mauled killed kids just recently. Owners get upset with me showing it n husband told me " Only complete moron will think that any dog can be inherently agressive to children"

I told him:' inherited loyalty, nannydog,n love to children in pits isn't the same moronic thing "?

I was yelled n told im wrong n should not be around dogs,since im a hater

They have 2nd dog,fluffy,like husky mix..absolutely normal dog,no aggression can be placed in crate,n no growling when touched by owners or guests .He dont care about grandkids,not playful type of dog,more like Livemealone.

If I would know its pit,I would not go there...

Maybe I should start asking to send pictures of the dog before I agree to visit
