My 3 men (husband, son, and little old-man dog we had at the time) decided she was a keeper. I've had dogs all my life, setters and collies, NICE dogs, and this pit girl is hands-down the BEST of them all. We love her SO much.

I do Doordash part time. I had massive bully pit rush up to me today. The thing just wanted my love and his owner was watching. I loved on him for a minute. He was the absolute sweetest thing. He even jumped in my driver seat when I opened it to leave. He just wanted to go on an adventure, but I redirected him to his dad. I have two huskies, so I get physical dogs. The moment you freeze on them, they can get testy. This one meant no harm. He licked my hand like crazy. I will remember him for awhile. I love dogs in general.

I went jogging once and a large pitty broke loose from its handler. Fortunately it was like every other pity I’d met and just jazzed about the chance to play. Knocked me down because she was so big but I barely got a skinned knee. It was a couple years before I worked for a dog trainer and even then I could tell her body language was all play, no fuss.

I am usually called a dog magnet by my friends because they just love me for some reason but the most happy a dog has ever gotten around me was a pitbull he just just licked me all over and even gave me gentle teeth grazes all over my arm and almost knocked me down. I have never seen a dog being so much happy upon meeting someone the first time (or any time tbh). And interesting part is that the owners were assholes and there was no training and not so good treatment. Yet that good boi had no aggression at all. I so wanted to free him from those assholes.

I have had and trained dogs all my life. My Wife and I have fostered and sheltered many dog breeds for many years. We got our Red Nose Pitty at 8 weeks old from a local rescue that advocates for this breed. THE BEST DOG I have ever had. Trained our girl at 6 months to catch a frisbee. She does this fun activity every night in spectacular fashion! She loves to "show off" and is so "present". Sweet and loving. Amazing around our grandchildren. Yes high energy and they are BORN ATHLETES. You have to take this into consideration before you decide to own a Pit Bull. YOU have to exercise them everyday. I am a very active person, so I personally love this trait. We are headed out right now for our 2 mile hike then, Frisbee time! Best dogs ever.

I’ve owned 2 pitbulls in my life… They were A lot of work but both times it paid off and I never had an issue with Tyson or Nala… I didnt know what I was doing when I got Tyson but I gave him all my attention and trained him as best as possible and he was one of the best dogs I even had… When I got Nala I knew what I was doing after having Tyson and Nala was even better both Nala and Tyson knew to bite if I was in danger but never did because when I said something they always listened… In my opinion if you cannot give a pitbull the exercise they need and the attention, Training they need DO NOT GET ONE! Do the dog a favour and do not get one… I didn’t have experience but I really did my research and gave both Tyson and Nala my full attention at all times even when they were trained, If you cannot do that do the dog a favour and don’t get one….

I adopted a rescue, what I think, American bully. He was out in a blizzard wandering the town. Followed me home. I found owners and they GAVE him to me. He was underfed and starved for a pack. He assimilated with our collie mix, our young children, and then a brand new baby. He never leaves my side u less it’s to sleep. He has some dog aggression but only on a leash or behind fence. And only when I do not introduce the new dog to the pack. I am the alpha. If I bring a dog in he sees it as that dog is under his protection. Honestly one of if not the best dog I have ever owned. They have amazing ability and need to be socialized and trained in a pack structure. And they love it. Make them sit and wait for food. They love it. They love you for it. An experienced owner is key.

Couldn't agree more.. I got my american bully about 6 months ago as a puppy from a breeder.. he loves people and other animals , we even have 2 cats one of which is 23 years old and he's amazing around them. I've been training him to be alone without crating or anything and he's doing very well.. he went from ripping apart anything he could find like a napkin or paper, to complete relaxation and can be left alone for about 2.5-3 hours now at 6 months .

They sure are not for everyone but in the right hands great dogs. I got one that I saved out of his former tragic situation. Had 7 pre owners at 11 months and was treated badly and worse. I trained him from day one from 11 1/2 months old. He couldn't even walk on a leash, had no good habits and was very fearful. Over time we build a wonderful bond, he behaves very well, likes cats and is quite confident today, very loyal and the best dog I ever had! I changed work for him and take him with me almost everywhere,even to the hairdresser and martial arts training. After a little while he started to just chill until finished. Never damaged any furniture or other in the last years. Very thankful and snuggly with people he knows, great guard dog when it comes to strangers coming near the House. wonderful character and intelligent. They know when you try to fool them. One needs to be consistent, reliable and have clarity when wanting a dog like this. If you don't lead they will take over.

(Mom used the Koehler method, and crate training for house breaking, as do I) The dogs lived with me for 8 months and it was the experience of a lifetime. Such smart, loving, and loyal dogs. Very rewarding to work with, and such goofy personalities. The male loved opera, and was (when we began), terrified of jumping in and out of the truck, while the female was fearless and had to be kept in line because her dominance over her brother due to the littermate factor... but she was so affectionate with my other dogs and us. My client was a terrific APB mom, too as she learned all the commands I had taught and even spent a few sessions with me working with them to be sure she had all her ducks in a row before allowing them to return home with her. She gets compliments to this day on how well behaved the two are. 🥰🥰🙏

American Pitbulls are great dogs, but they are not for everyone. Actually, as a fan of American Pitbulls myself, I can say that they probably are the breed most people cannot handle. Their unrivaled combination of amazing strength, toughness, athleticism, tenacity, energy, prey drive, and obviously gameness is something the vast majority of people are not used to in a dog. The history explains their impressive physical and mental traits. Theories and histories vary, but based on two of the leading authors and historians of the breed (Richard F. Stratton and Diane Jessup), they were bred for what is known as catch work for wild boar and bulls and later used for sports like bull baiting and bear baiting before being turned to dog-vs.-dog combat when laws against these types of sports were passed. Even today, there are people that take part in dog-vs.-dog sports in America and others and bear baiting in places like Pakistan. One of the dogs of choice are Pitbulls.

[@nexusk9services194]

@Game_Source Id say, in current times, Cane Corso’s are on the same level as “not for everyone”. Just my opinion.

[@Game_Source]

@@nexusk9services194 That is definitely not a breed for everyone as well, but I actually think I would recommend a cane corso for more people over American Pitbull. There are far less cane corsos that break loose, get out of yards, and attack and kill cows, horses, sheep, cats, and other dogs.

[@GrChBarracuda]

@@Game_Source That’s incorrect . The APBT was bred because they wanted a longer legged Staff for Dogfighting. APBT comes off fighting dogs . The English Staff and the Irish Dog .

I have a half husky quarter Am. pit quarter staffie. She has some touch sensitivities but even though she was taken from her mother at four weeks she's a sweetheart. She does frustrate easily and can be a little mouthy, which we are absolutely working on (I do NOT accept teeth on skin ever) but she tries her best to work with me.

[@bleh2959]

I think it all depends on the people and how the pit bull is brought up . If you have them from a puppy then you are probably good but, I know we had a 5yr old massive male pit named bullet, and he came from a home with no kids or anything but had been exposed lightly to children and the previous owner said he was always fine with kids. So we brought him into a home with my little siblings (7yr old girl and 14yr old boy) and he was an angel for a long time it seemed like. Then one day out we were all outside playing and bullet was off in the woods playing by himself, and out of nowhere he ran out of the woods and charged my little sister and bit into her back and it took 3 full grown men to get him off. She had to get stitches and a lot of recovery time and now she has a huge fear of big dogs . I don't think it's right to write off all pits as being bad. But no matter the breed , always take precautions, please

Lion-baiting, bear baiting, bull-baiting, badger-baiting and dog-fighting. The Bulldog-terriers bred back to terriers fought in the rat pits. The Bulldog was a small mastiff. It looked like a leggy mastiff just smaller. These bulldogs were said to weigh between 35 to 75 lbs. They looked like Pit Bulls. Or many did.

Absolutely great video! I had an English Staffie mix for 14 years. Best dog ever! She had a high prey drive but was great with other dogs and pets. Even our pet house chicken. When she passed we ended up adopting a 9 month old American Staffie. He was scared of everything but also has done great with our house chicken and pet rabbit. But he is highly reactive to other dogs. He’s 3 now and the e-collar has been great at helping when we do run into other dogs on walks. High levels of obedience has been ground breaking. But I do have to agree the PitBull has to be one of the best dogs out there when bred and trained properly.

Our neighbor started letting a new cat out in their backyard. Our Pitt Bull went underneath our chain link fence in about three seconds. Their Shibu Inu jumped on her, who promptly flipped him on his back, pinning him. It was disturbing. Our dog outweighed their's by at least double. I have trained Betsy to not bite from day one. If she had used her full strength, it could have been a bad ending. She isn't dog aggressive, yet she doesn't tolerate dogs that jump on her or act aggressive towards her. It scared me, but when I raised my voice and stopped her physically, the drama was over. If I hadn't trained her using your methods, the Shibu could have been in trouble. Slobbered was about it. We have reinforced the fence, and our neighbors no longer allow the cat out. Our dogs were professionally trained. My husband and I were both trained to use E collars by the trainer. The training has saved us from losing them on hikes. Deer, rabbits, squirrels trigger them. But a low touch brings them back instantly. One thing, both of our Pitts have sensitive pads and paws. Would you recommend booties for hiking with them?

I know some may question his methods, but I HIGHLY recommend taking his advice, especially when it comes to breeds that may be a bit more "complicated." From my experience, Miles loves and thrives on routine, mental and physical exercise (at least 60 minutes a day, typically more), socialization (people and dogs), and consistency between my husband and me when it comes to commands and rules. In exchange for our commitment to giving him the life he deserves, Miles is the most affectionate dog either of us has ever had the pleasure of interacting with.

And if they are dumb enough, they try to "fix" them with punching. And trust me, it happens a LOT. My newest staffy who came to me from owner like that was covered in bruises and have fear aggresion. And why? Because they dont need trainer, "this type of dog will surrend if you will be more than him". Also, im from europe and in my state is no laws around aggresive animals. In us, you can take dog from owner, not here. If your pit bit someone, you will pay small fine, around 100usd. Medical care is payed by state. And if you punching your dog and keep him without food to death, 100usd is usually the maximum. 100usd is around most people here daily pay.

I know a pitbull that chomped on my friends Yorkie’s neck and shook it til it died, but that Pit was being walked by it’s owner and my friends fam accidentally left their front door open, so their yorkie bolted out at the pit. It “attacked” the pit. So, idk.
