With their reputations I wouldn't think of putting on a spiked collar on either of the Pits. I live in a small town and everybody that has seen them has been fearful at first but now they see from being around them that they arnt the vicious creatures they're portrayed to be! I have a pink princess collar on my older female pit and a cute red 1 on my youngest who is black and white. People often comment how at first glance with their massive heads and muscular body they look scary but then when are around them more how cute and loving they are! My dobermin is just as adorable. None of them have cropped ears (personally I don't think it's right) nor docked tails. They are all very fun loving family dogs who don't even know that they ARE dogs! They just know that they belong to our family. So before you put anything on your dog that may get certain reactions think about the dog first, they feed off of human emotions and can read us like books. They just want acceptance. Let others have a chance to accept them! :) sorry if there is spelling issues, I did this on my phone and can't really see the text for spelling errors!

One has just small spikes, doesnt even look like a spike, the second one has just 4 spikes and very short ones, and the third one has a bit bigger spikes. I almost always use the third one, my dog never hurts himself when he's scatching :) I dont see anything negative with that collar, except that he has more attitude with it and is cool :) He watches the house when whe're not home, no one has ever broken in haha :) ! Im also getting a spiked harness for him, really cool! Like John said, Im getting my spiked harness cause of my dogs safety, he's small and there are few dogs in my neighbourhood that are very agressive, because of them. I reccomand spiked collars and harnesses , as long as they are comfortble for the dog and the owner, and do not hurt the dog in any way :) I have three spiked collars for my dog, I have a yorkie.

He got a scratch, one pit bull was unharmed, one pit bull was bloody. My doberman's studded collar had saliva and blood on it. The collar looks good and it saved my dog from injury. I'm now looking for a studded harness for him too. Today my Doberman was attacked by two pit bulls. He got a scratch, one pit bull was unharmed, one pit bull was bloody.

LOL! Not that I think that it's a bad thing for you to carry one. The governor of Texas carries a Ruger .380 LCP with a red laser. Gov Rick Perry shot a coyote that threatened him and his dog on a jaunt recently, much to the dismay of anti-gunner liberals. Sturm Ruger in a brilliant marketing ploy responded with a special Governor Rick Perry edition called the 'Coyote Special'. :D Seriously though, I run and/or walk my Kangal on a leash every evening and I live in a very rural and wooded area of Texas. I have never once been threatened by ANYTHING! ROFL! At times though I have to dig my heels in to keep from skiing into the woods. Heh heh heh. Kangals have this amazingly docile, sweet and loving disposition. However, when threatened or when they alert onto something like a predator or stray dog, they do a breath-taking Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde transformation. The first time that it happens when they mature some, is simply mind-blowing. They are probably the closest thing to a wild animal this side of the domestic fence in canines. Few creatures will challenge such a beast. Not to take away from your German Shepherd or anything. They are wonderful dogs too! It really sounds like you have a loose dog problem where you are at. May I suggest a Taurus 'Judge' revolver? They shoot .410 shotgun shells and/or .45 Long Colt. Mix or match. Just the thing for feral hogs, yotes, wild dogs or whatever, even snakes.

In the backroads were I live I get attacted or approached at least twice a week by a vicouse loose dog. I equip my full grown german shepard with a spike collar and a spiked vest. I also carry a small hand gun. Between the two of us we have made light work of dozens of dogs and even a loose bull that ran through a fence. I love my dog and will equip him and myself with anything that will give us an advantage if threatend. I live in the country and train for marathons.

To be honest anything that would be enough of a deterrent to other Dogs is also going to be a danger to Dogs that are friends and want to play. I know from experience that Dogs like to play rough and it could be dangerous if you get a spiked Dog collar that was pointy enough to deter other Dogs. I wish I could tell you what to do for the best but it sounds like the other Dog owners need more control over their Dogs. Tanya

We were at the dog park and a BullDog decided he didn't like my dog. He attacked and then 3 other dogs joined in. It was very ferocious and scary. It took 4 of us people to pull all the dogs apart, and one man had to forcefully pry one dog's mouth off my dog's neck. My dog was cowered and whimpering for quite some time afterward which he hasn't done since he was very little. Later I noticed his rabies tag had been bent in half with teeth marks on it from one of the dogs. All I could think was what if that dog had a hold of his neck and not the dog collar and tags. I thought that maybe a spike collar might be what I need for the dog park. That way if any dog tried to go for his neck that forcefully, the collar would deter too much force. But then I worry about normal dog play. My dog is very active, friendly, and has many dogs there he plays rough with, but it's all play. Could the collar hurt one of those dogs? And would the collar make an aggressive dog bite hard on a different part of the body instead? My dog also had a puncture tooth wound on his front leg. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
