Made me uncomfortable. The child was a niece so maybe didn't live there full time? And the owner appeared to be behind the camera so I wonder if that is who was really in control. I'd worry the child might try that on her own without supervision. I don't care if they were the best bred Labradors I felt uneasy.
Some children just have that undefinable "thing" that makes them good with dogs or other animals. Friends three year old was one and could command our ESS the first time she met her. We told her the words and even though she couldn't say them all correctly, heck she couldn't say the dog's name, Whisper, and called her Zipper, that dog did what she said. Sit, stay and heel. Maybe the little girl in the video was the same, hope she stays that way.

I can't even watch it. The thought of a four year old with six pit bulls makes me crazy. It's very irresponsible.
I wouldn't go that far... Pitbulls are a fantastic breed.

My son has a pit, and she is a sweet as she can be. That being said, I still wouldn't put a child with 6 dogs of any type like that. It only takes that one time for it to all go bad. I trust both of mine with kids, but I still supervise 100% of the time.
I agree with any six dogs of any breed.. and honestly it's not JUST the kid that bothers me but even an adult feeding six adult dogs like that, you are setting them up for inapropriate behaviour. dogs shoudl be allowed space and their own food, not compete. But yes add a kid in there and again, not good.
Again we humans must set up our dogs for success. yes "accidental situations" happen and we need to train and plan for them but to set up dogs in bad situations strictly to "prove what a great trainer you are" is failing the dogs.

Makes sense. I took what you saw as they weren't really sure about the owner behind them with the camera and not about the little girl. That is why I'm not the expert Thank you for explaining that for me. It is always good to keep learning about things you don't know about.
Don't allow your happiness to be interrupted by overly judgmental people. The problem is not you, because even if you do good all the time, they would still find a way to judge you wrongly.
