If youre referring to the same report im thinking of, it was merely someone usibg a clicker or something to make a weird noise, then gauging the dogs likelihood of attack by how it reacted. Imo a useless study.
Has anyone noticed that all the pro pit bull people’s arguments are always exactly the same, as if they lifted them from a central pit bullshit repository online? And they’re always pseudoscience or anecdotal evidence, like “I have a pit bull and a lab, but only my lab has bitten my child.”
That said, someone on here did post some study done to test the behavior of dogs breeds and pit bulls scored as one of the better breeds. However, laboratory studies for behavior, in both humans and dogs, are not done in the real world. And when all the empirical evidence from the real world is at odds with those types of studies, then I am inclined to weight the empirical data much more heavily.
