I hope she takes your advice. That’s a big powerful dog and she needs to be able to control it.
Ultimately I think niece’s parents will wind up with the dog which is problematic as well. As authoritarian as it sounds I wish it was harder for people to acquire certain breeds. Or dogs at all. Five will get you twenty that Uncle Hubbs will get a tearful call about Pup since he has a ranch.The least she should do is train it! Zoo keepers do train their animals. She could start with operant conditioning and training. That would be things I believe they teach. Trainers are Sea World and also the San Diego Zoo use it. As well as quite a few LE detection trainers.
