That right there makes a total different dog. APBTs are not people aggressive, and are no bigger than 55lbs... They're Terriers, and an American bully is so far from that.

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….

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.

The main issue we have now is the fact that there are a lot of backyard breeders who aren't properly aware of what traits they are looking for combined with enthusiastic but inexperienced owners, which is creating such a bad rep for any bull named dog.

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?

Great stuff. Pitbulls need owners who know what time it is for sure. Their tenacity can be off the charts. My current pit has graduated to "advanced" training classes--we're offleash and on long lines with other dogs, pretty fun. I've noticed everything mentioned in the video, but also, the shepherd dogs seem to stay on task a little better than my pit or any pit I've had. There's a little bit of terrier "look a squirrel!" going on with pits. They're great dogs if you have the time and commitment.

Pitbulls and other high prey drive breeds are adopted as accessories to their lives. Not because they’re looking for a companion. Which is a huge reason why a significantly higher percentage of people get dogs and don’t know what to do with them.

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 believe you but it’s so shockingly different than my experiences. They’re such sweethearts to humans.

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. (Though my current 90lbs pit would neverrrr do that he’s hella socialized and just wants to play) I should also add, my big pit is more gentle with my baby n toddler and youth nieces and nephews than even their family dogs.

[@Sidtrav2017]

I rescued a baby pitbull that lived under a trailer. He was so a good puppy, was highly trained and socialized. He loved people but when he got to about 1 years old something happened and he became severely aggressive towards dogs. Started turning on our dog, cats and us. The moment he got fixated on a dog, there was no breaking his eye contact. Extremely high pain tolerance. He was so dangerous as the weeks went on, we brought his to broad and training , multiple vets and dog behavioralists. They all told his he was mentally off because if genetics and they believe he came from a generation of fighting. We no longer have him and the state I lived in at the time band pitbulls so he was forced to be euthanized. It was horrible. I’ve fostered and rescued pitbulls specifically that breed my whole life. Absolutely love these dogs. These dogs aren’t for everyone and you have to be very careful where you get you pitbull and meet the parents as well. I currently own a cane corso and she incredible. As much as I love pitties, and have a TON of experience with them, just be careful. I told myself if I couldn’t even own one, then most people can’t own one.

[@kristinhergert6782]

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.

[@haleydelpesce2022]

My husband and I adopted a 1.5 y/o American Pitbull mix from a local shelter two months ago and have utilized this man's training videos for nearly every facet of training! The progress Miles has made in a couple of months is incredible! 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. I am a lifelong lover of all bully and pittie variations, but please make sure that if you're considering adopting one, that you are prepared to be a responsible owner so that you can avoid being a perpetuator of the stereotypes.

with any dog its important to ask yourself what you want out of a dog. if you want a family pet that can chill and watch t.v with you get a shih tsu. if you want a breed to guard your home get a great pyrenes. if you need a dog to perform tasks like fetching items or personal protection get a german shepherd.

Nice to see a vid from someone that doesn't have some bias and gives the pros and cons. Though you say they aren't human aggressive, there seem be a LOT of them in my area that are quite aggressive to humans. I will say, it's in the Ghetto areas where they want their dogs mean on purpose. When this breed has the highest human attack rate that far surpasses other breeds, you really can't say it's mostly breed out of them.

[@nicholasneyhart396]

The only pitbull type breed I recommend are staffordshire terriers. That is a dog that is friendly, polite, and obedient basically from day one.

[@katytkdgirl]

My boy is so well behaved. He could do a lot of damage but never has unless it was a designated destruction item such as a toy. Has never showed any human aggression, humping, or marking and he was fully intact until he was about 11. Fixed him due to prostatitis. He only became aggressive with other dogs after being attacked by off- leash dogs around 2-3 years old. He's always had a high prey drive though and is 100% food motivated for training. I'll definitely take a break from owning a dog after he passes but he's 14, going into his 2nd year as a cancer survivor, and is still the best boy, wants to play, lots of energy, still climbs stairs. He was sickly as a puppy (got parvo even after the shot) but he's tough as a tank with the sweetest personality. Please don't get one if you're not physically strong enough to restrain one and find the right leash/ collar combo for being out in public.

[@apbt067]

Lost my 13yr ole apbt/staff suddenly. I would have rather him go slowly like yours. Cancer sucks but the way I lost mine has taken a toll big time. It was bloat I think but the er vet said really wasn’t anything they could do for him. He still acted like a pup and times and still looked so good for his age. I don’t want another dog I don’t think, being someone that doesn’t have a family to come to it just hits diff. I new I was attached to him but didn’t realize it would hurt so damn bad. I don’t ever wanna go through losing another one. He was my ride or die no matter the situation. People raise their kids up knowing they will leave and move out hell most are ready for them to.ha But you raise a dog up from a pup and if done correctly that dog will never leave you no matter what happens. It is death that has to separate them from you. Enjoy the time you have left and be patient on days he’s not his self. Hope he goes peacefully with you there for comfort.

[@katytkdgirl]

@apbt067 I am so sorry for your loss :( I almost lost him to parvo as a pup and he's had a couple close calls since then. Scariest thing ever, he's my ride or die as well. I've lost other dogs suddenly and it was so hard to cope with, a giant hole in your life. I am glad I've been vigilant with his health and blessed enough to be able to afford treatment (almost 15k in surgery and chemo) or he would have been gone long ago. There is some peace in knowing he's had a good long life but still hard seeing the slow decline and knowing his day will come. I hope that one day you are able to find peace and give another good doggy a chance to be loved 💜

I see it as a positive as someone who can handle these dogs. I love high prey driving animals I don’t care about the animal aggressiveness. Obviously I don’t ever let them meet new dogs or animals. But they sure can handle anything that comes in my yard that’s not suppose to be there.

[@AleTapia-wd8jq]

[@Annabroas2010]

Can you do one of these for the Rottweiler

[@KathyCurd]

We adopted a 5 year old Pit mix. 100lbs. He came for a sleepover and never left. I've had many many dogs, (a few of them very strong willed) This was one of the best dogs I've ever own. And so beautiful People stopped me every day. His previous owners were abusive to him, and best we can figure they released him onto the streets so we had a few problems. You couldn't train him with food he had such a high food drive he couldn't focus if he knew you had food anywhere on you, you were invisible. He ate in 2.5 seconds, we bought him.a slow feeder and it slowed him down to 45 seconds. He also ate anything he came across, including a padded amazon envelope we had a war over and I lost. Convinced it was from the street life. He had some leash reactivity but we were able to control that very quickly. All he wanted to do was please you. 1 major issue was, he wouldn't pick the fight (not an alpha) but if a dog came at him it was game on and he was in for the fight. Too many people off leashing their dog with no control over the animal, it is unsafe. 100 lbs of pure muscle fully turned on is definitely a challenge. Wish I had him from when he was a puppy he would have been a phenomenal dog his entire life. I always put him up when the kids were around only because of his size and I didn't know his history with small children. The most loving dog, also thought he was a lap dog ; ). If you were on the couch he was curled up on you or next to you. Lost him to heart disease a few weeks ago 10yrs old. I would absolutely have another one, however, I agree not everyone should have one. They need your love, attention and guidance or they can become a dangerous weapon. His jaw strength was nothing I ever experienced in another animal, if he didn't want to release it you were not getting it.

[@amirhosseinforghani4158]

I can relate to having a pitbull with incredibly high food drive. When my dog was 2 years and 6 months old, even experienced trainers were amazed at his level of enthusiasm for treats. It took some time and patience, but through consistent training over a few months, we were able to channel that energy in a positive way. One tip that really helped was introducing a brief pause before giving him the treat, teaching him impulse control. Keeping training sessions short, under 5 minutes, and using low-value treats like carrots also proved beneficial. Remember, progress may be slow and frustraiting for both of you, but it's definitely worth it in the end. Stay patient and consistent, and you'll see results.

[@1soFortunate]

I love dogs. In fact, I love all animals. I am beginning to fear the Pit Bull. Too many people have them now. I have a small dog now, but I once had a Pitt mix. Who was the best dog ever unless you were another dog. Back then, there were no leash laws in our neighborhood. One night, I saw him kill another dog. I tried to stop him, but he was too far gone. I could do nothing to stop it, I was a kid. Yet Sam was so very sweet otherwise. I fear for my little dog when walking because, for some reason, Pitt owners don't want to leash them while out walking! I keep pepper spray and a big stick just in case someone's prey drive kicks into overdrive.

[@meredithcarroll6209]

We took in our pitbull from a neighbor about a year and a half ago and despite the fact that it was a really terrible situation, he's an absolute joy. I watched a large number of your videos before I convinced my husband we should rescue him, and I've continued watching your videos as we've worked with him. He's a completely different dog from when we took him in, but we've paid a lot of attention to him and I in particular have been extremely cognizant of potential triggers. For example, he absolutely hated hoodies when we first brought him home. They just set him off. Now he's much, much better, but he still doesn't like when he can't see someone's face. He could not stand men at first, but now that he's been around my husband for a year, he's fine with them - still doesn't really like them around me (he's my velcro dog), but is aware that I can handle myself and he can just chill. He also does not like any kind of gun-shaped object. I mean literally, you can't have a Nerf gun or a squirt gun in the same room with him, he goes absolutely nuts. He is terrified of them. But he's smart and funny and currently on the verge of throwing a tantrum because it's bedtime and I'm still sitting at my computer. That said, if we hadn't taken him when we did, there probably would have been no hope for him. He would have been way too traumatized and unsocialized, and there are still undesirable behaviors we need to work on (specifically overreacting to people at the door and other dogs when we're on walks). If he'd gone to someone who just figured they'd leave him out in the back yard and only occasionally check on him, he'd definitely be a statistic by now. This is not a breed for someone who's uncomfortable with being a leader. Now I really do have to go because he's a gigantic toddler who's about to throw a tantrum over being up past his bedtime.

There is the other issue with pits…the term “unprovoked”. It’s NEVER unprovoked, there is ALWAYS a reason…it may just not be seen through the average human eyes. Thats why it’s highly recommended that you learn about the breed to know the possible triggers. My pit was pulled of the BA list at a shelter, adopted out and bit someone, returned to the rescue that pulled him, sent to a “trainer” for boarding and bit EVERYONE on staff, then the “trainer” labeled it as neurological and recommended BA…again. He’s been with me for 3 years…I use him for dog/dog intros and he meets new humans daily…no bites. One of the best friends I’ve ever had.

So true; we went through a year of training, three GOOD trainers, and an animal behaviorist only to have the final verdict be that we might mitigate some of the worst aggression, but ours would never be able to be trusted around other animals.

(Coz i have seen, probably 100s of vids of guard dogs but they ALWAYS & ONLY ever show the dog learning how to attack or defend PEOPLE!) Do they train the dogs to PROTECT THEMSELVES?! ^ The mock 'bad-guy' always holds back, from attacking the dog(of course). There are multiple things you can do vs a dog attack which, of course, u don't want the bad guys to know but at the same time, would be good for everyone to know incase of a dog attack.... ^ I'm rambling but if you're training a PROTECTION/security/police dog, that have to hold ppl, do they get taught how to protect themselves?! (E.g. from body-crushing leg clamps, being chocked out, having their legs pulled apart, strikes to the head etc...) I have never seen footage of a dog that knows how to release, then re-attach depending on the situation/when they are being attacked back.... Just for sake of the topic of THIS video: - I *_did_* actually, nearly get one of these beautiful dogs a couple of weeks ago!!! I _immediately_ realised I wasn't ready for such a dog! Back yard didn't have appropriate fencing, the house was too cluttered and I had serious doubts about my being able to exercise her enough too. Luckily i realised this, all, on the same day I got her and the prev owner allowed me to return her and gave me my money back...

In my early 20's my boyfriends beloved boxer passed unexpectedly. We talked about what he wanted and he said was a pitbull. I found someone selling puppies at 5 weeks. He said the puppies tore up the teats. I brought him to my boyfriend and he was so happy. I researched what do do to exercise and entertain etc. We did a rope and a motorcycle tire. He loved it we exposed him to everything including my family himalayan cat. He was a puppy and our cat popped him on the nose. He never looked at a cat or chased them off the top off of boyfriends back wall. He walked beautifully. My boyfriends grandfather walked him. He had boys-men challenge him to fight there dogs. His grandfather refused and tell them leave them alone. The mailman, gas man and milkman deliver or check meters. They all loved him and would bring biscuits. His niece would play with going into the dining and living room which he was not allowed. He never stepped over. I have beautiful memories of this dog. He was truly extraordinary.

Thank you so much for the video. I do get confused by the differences between the bully type breeds. We have a pit mix puppy we inherited because she was dumped in our neighborhood. When people ask I tell them she's an all American mutt. Most of the video definitely describes her. Doesn't really need brushing, she comes in muddy and when I look again it's gone. Loyal. She plays very well with lab mix, they play hard which wears them both out. Admittedly, she sometimes gets jealous of the lab and tries to keep him from me but we're working on that and have made progress. Destructive, totally! She's working on our couch but it's worn out and was free... And you can't take it with you anyways. She's deaf so that's an interesting curve ball in training, definitely 0 recall unless she's looking at you. 😂

[@TheDragonSeer]

I have to disagree. Most people view the pitbull as a guard dog and will breed aggressive, scared pitbulls in theit backyards to sell to other bad owners who will encourage the same thing. I'm sure you are correct in a good breeder would have a great dog. But I feel you are overly deemphasizing just how bad the backyard breeder issue is. At least in the USA. Take a trip to any major run down city like Chicago and you'll see pits flipping out tied out back behind every chain-linked fence. I don't blame cities for banning pitbulls over what had become an epidemic of bad breeding. I'd even go as far as to say a license should be required to own the dog to try and stop this. People who are "scared" of the average pit have every right to be because the typical pit will be below average w/ fear aggression with a below average owner to boot.

I just said this in your other pitbull video and I'll say it here, because I'm so sick of the bad rep pitties get. The problem is a lot of low class and ghetto ass people get them because of their scary reputation and intentionally train them to be tough and mean. They really can be the biggest sweethearts if raised in a good and loving home. Also, you need to be strong enough to handle their strength if they sometimes get too excited on the leash and pull. My two girls are two of the sweetest dogs I've ever known. Not a mean bone in their bodies. Admittedly, before I adopted them I was nervous of pits too. Not anymore. A dog, like a child, is what you make it.

Thank you, thank you for this excellent video. Couldn't agree more. I've followed the breed for most of my life.

Dog aggression and a desire to protect their humans is not the same thing.

They either live to look cause trouble, some APBT are in the defensive side and will not ever quit in a fight even tho they are losing.

[@songoku3046]

Nice insights on the breed. But I disagree on the stamina, part. I have APBT for years, and they have really long stamina. Especially the ones that have been trained for hog catching and dog fighting. For dog fighting, they can fight for over an hour. In fact, their advantage over other medium and large breeds in the pit is their ability not only to sustain damage but to inflict one over a long period. There's even one documented fight in which two APBTs fought for about 4 hours. I am against dog fighting, please don't get me wrong. But I did spend years of researching before I even considered having the breed as our family pet. And those are the info that I was able to coalesce in researching the APBTs or as the dogmen would say "bulldogs".

[@soulfiree88]

I got my first American pitbull terrier 12 years ago. He was my soul dog. He died last year due to lymphoma. I was dead set on getting another bully breed. And I just brought home my 1 & half year old American Bully this weekend He's amazing . You will never find such a loving & loyal dog

[@corriedebeer799]

It is amazing to me how people would defend the pitbull by saying it is the owners fault. When 60% of dog fatalities come from one breed then it clearly is the breeds fault.

No, your result may be a fallacy.

[@metaldreams3595]

@@alexhaller4047 You cant say No and then follow it with "may be". You would have been better off saying something like.."Not so fast, your result may be a fallacy". Anyway she is right. Why do they call them Golden Retrievers? And have you ever noticed that they will fetch balls and sticks without training? Why is that? Its almost like if their ancestors were traineds to do something, their descendants will too. And what ifr dogs were bred to kill rats in a pit as fast as they can....that wont carry into the offspring?

Can we get a video about the relationship / history between Pitbulls, Staffordshire, and AmStaff (American staffy? I guess?)?

[@LaCokaNostrazGR]

What i ve realisesd is having a dog is like having a kid. Thanks to this dude i realised i cant get a dog cause of work . Sad but atleast i didnt start something that would make both me and the dogo unhappy

[@BadSide1]

For all dog lovers, your dog should listen to you like a "slave" and obey you 100% if its not doing that then you might doing sth wrong

[@YSLRD]

Lol. No. My dog weighs 15 lbs and loves all guests. While his chihuahua genes ( mom's side) won't let him like other digs, he's reasonabky respectful and doesn't pick fights. He isn't destructive in the house, and is potty trained. He obediently stays in the hatchback away from airbags. That's plenty for him and most companion dogs.

GREAT VIDEO!! Very informative and honest in terms of pros vs cons. And of course there are gonna be a ton of people in the comments telling you how wrong you are that aren't professional trainers, but I think it's very telling that not only is a professional dog trainer speaking as to how great the APBT CAN be if you put the work in an an owner, but also I think the fact that you're a former cop who no doubt dealt with at least a few "loose pitbull" calls in your career has a positive opinion of the breed.

Thanks for the support!

Great video very educational. , 👍 you know your stuff on dog training. Year's ago I was a dog trainer in the early '90s I don't have any dogs now but I know how important it is for people to understand and be educated on acclimating your dog knowing your breed doing your research before you buy understanding what breed is best for the owner.

Please make a video on how to teach a dog the 'freedom' command

I have been on a pit bull rollarcoaster. I used to blindly love them and see them as angels. Then I saw how many "pit bull kills toddler/baby/etc" news feeds there were. I think many of those were the bullies or mixes that do have that human aggression. But then my new dog made a friend who turned out to be half pit bull half blue heeler. That little dog is probably one of the worst breed combos I have seen. But she is very intelligent, but that prey drive has her chasing bikers, cars, etc. And she has left bite marks on these people's legs. She has had warnings. She has next to zero training. I have been trying to help the owner, but I only see her maybe once a week. Her owners don't excersie or train her. I just spent 8 minutes teaching her fetch, and she got it so fast. A wonderful dog, but man does her energy never stop.

[@asdisskagen6487]

That dog's owners are placing her in a situation where it is likely she will bite the wrong person and end up euthanized. Any owner who genuinely cares for their dog's well-being would keep her under control and not put her in a situation where she will hurt herself or others.

[@whydoineedahandle269]

Ah the pit bull, the top choice for the first time, urban, careless, non-poop picking up, non-leashing individual. Not saying they are necessarily bad dogs, but they have a bad rep for a reason. It’s the same reason people hate the Dodge Charger, there’s nothing wrong with the car, it’s the clientele that select the vehicle.

[@maddogsenglishmen8020]

American bullies are for the urban communities. Pitbulls are southern dogs and all bloodlines were created by Southern men.

[@marleneclough3173]

Preferred by those who have only ever had a lapdog before. Never trained a dog in their life. I tested in seeming cool and streetwise. Shows off its dog in the neighbourhood
