    Well Nitro have 2 years now , its getting worse , he is very HA , and starting to growl on people that he live with in the house /family .
    Iam planing on making him "street legal" and is there any chance his bad behaviour can dissapear toward people , by taking him outside , in the street etc with muzzle and short leash of course ?

    It really difficult dog and i think some bad gene (HA ) jumped on him when he was born .... :(
    Advice plz .

    I agree with Saiy. If you can't keep the dog under control and it sounds like you're failing at that then he needs to go to sleep, for good.

    Edgar, to answer your question. If you take him out in public it COULD get better as he gets used to seeing more people BUT my concern would be more towards the people in the house that you say he growls at. I assume he sees them often and if he is still growing at them then that is all I would need to see. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if he does well out in public or not, he needs to do good around the people in the house. That is if you want the dog that way. Sounds like you do and in my honest opinion, the dog should be in different hands or put down. Good luck.

    when i say he growl onto the people around me is ore like someone come in his view field and he act surprised and start to show bad manner , like if someone is dressing differently and suddently appear in the room even if he know , 1st reaction is light growl , 3 sec max duration then all back to normal.
    I know iam failing as a leader , and i dont want to put it all on the dog , even if he was kinda alone when puppy , and one guy said he will be a good guard dog back then .
    Now i know someone who is looking for that kind of protecting pitbull , maybe he could try another live there with Stronger owner ? better than PTS even if he has to live a rougher life than with me ?

    Does the basic not very well sociabilized , or chained pitbull is agressive toward people ? i dont think so , how much the lack of sociabilisation is important in my trouble with him?
    Heavy inbreeding and some old gene could have kiked in i think too.

    Chaining them does not make em mean that's a lie most dogs on a chain are very excited and someone not familiar with the breed can misinterprip excite for aggressiveness

    Yes i understand that taking him outside will not fix the trouble i have inside my property , i need to up my leadership and will kik him next time he show or sound bad .
    its not like i havent tried before , but at some time motivation is going down with him .

    Maybe sending him away to train with a trainer off-site could help with the territorial behavior?

    IF the dog is HA, you need to put that dog to sleep, that is, as long as there are no medical issues that is causing this. Sorry but HA is not a trait this breed is supposed to have. You will not train that out. With all due respect to you, it seems you really can't control the dog in general. What makes you think by making the dog "street legal" you are going to "manage" the HA? If there is a ban where you live, you will be making things much worse for this breed if you decide to bring a HA dog out in public. HA is a bad genetic trait.
