But the main point here is that you are adding mastiff and bulldog, which are 2 people aggressive breeds, with natural guarding instincts, and A LOT of size... 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. You need to learn about dog bloodlines and breeding, and you'll learn how much an outcross affects a breed, not to mention a cross with a completely different dog breed... They're not even close to the same dog.

I was NEVER a fan of this breed. But a couple of summers ago, we rescued an AmStaff that was left for dead in the streets of AZ. She was used as a bait dog. This girl won my heart, and now I love this breed. She's has a lot of trauma we're working through, but she's loyal beyond belief. We're working with a trainer and it's definitely helping us. She's learning to trust people again and I couldn't be more proud of her ❤ We named her Summer.

Bait dog? Did the dog tell you that? Lol the notion of bait dog was a fabrication of these "animal rights" organizations. The only ones who do that are dumb people who learned from these animal rights organizations to do that as a means to train for fighting. The real dog fighters would NEVER use unwilling or unable dogs to use to train their dogs to fight. That is just ignorant.

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….

My first dog is a pitbull (I bought him to help with my chronic pain.) Had him for 3 years and counting. The two things that have kept him from becoming a disaster are that I am housebound and I take an absurd amount of personal pride in the things I do. I simply will not allow this dog to be a bad dog. Spoiled? Oh sure. He's spoiled rotten. But bad? Not a chance. Through mutual respect and an iron hand to match his iron will, he and I have worked together to turn him into the best dog in walking distance (can't drive so I can't gauge that far out.)

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.

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. I'm not a massive advocate for them being banned or unbanned, but i just know that my golden retriever has been attacked twice by 2 separate bull style dogs, both being potentially american bull dogs, but i can't be exactly sure. Both times, awful owners who had this meat ball of energy running all over the streets off lead, my dog can't have been the only thing they attacked.

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?

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.

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.

Thank you so much for this video! It is almost impossible to find someone who gives an honest review of the breed. APBT and AMSTAFs should only ever be owned by experienced dog owners, or at the very least by owners dedicated to educating themselves and working with a trainer experienced in dealing with these high-prey-drive terriers. I am an experienced dog owner with decades of working with large breeds (mastiffs) and I was completely blown away by the explosive power in this breed when we adopted our first APBT from a rescue. They had no background on our dogs, who turned out to be irredeemably dog reactive, even towards each other. It's been a steep learning curve, to say the least. All the well-deserved negative aspects aside, I have fallen in absolute love with this breed and will likely never own another type of dog. Their deep love and loyalty to their owners, coupled with being deeply attuned to us an with a great sense of humor, they make absolute fantastic companions for responsible owners willing to invest the time and attention to understanding their unique temperament.

The girl and dog both went to the ER- lots of stitches. I don't hate them or fear them. Another neighbor has a pair, one pit and one pit/ Dogo mix. They are awesome, beautiful sweethearts. I do think the bad outweighs the good.

Main problem of power breeds(not just pit, i love power breeds and people around them is still same) they attract bad or absolutely dumb people. Beacuse "Oooooh, i will be that scary man with big scary doooog!" They dont want to train their dog, socialization is a no no and when someone come into their home and this dog bite him or a child, they end in kennels or in my hands. 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 have to assume that many owners get them specifically because they want them to be scary and threatening, thus reinforcing such behavior. Man I’ve adopted THREE of them from shelters at various times (one was just a puppy at the time though), and even the one from the shelter “in the hood” where we didn’t know where she came from, she was a total sweetheart too. 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.

@@MisterK-YT My staffy would propably kill that york too. She is absolute sweetheart, love to play with every other dog, but if she is on leash, she guard. Never attack first, but if something that small try to attack her or me, she will propably kill it on spot. Yup, she have muzzle, but about two months ago some elder lady let her bishon to run from other side of busy road to us, bishon jump and bite her muzzle. There was half second for her to make that bishon part of sidewalk. And again, it was my fault, because i have dangerous breed. And yup, she has muzzle only because people are stupid and they send ther dog even in bus to "meet yours". This things happen every week, sometimes more. The problem is always people.

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.

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.

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. They’re cute and are just expected to stay cute and harmless companions in the house. Then reality sets in and they either just become super crazy and destructive in the house, or extremely quick triggered and violent.

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. 😂

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.

To give you guys an idea of how energetic these dogs are... on Saturdays we use the flirt pole for 10-15 minutes THEN we go out on 5-7 mile moutain hikes. He takes a nap on the way home, then does zoomies when we get in the house. Thank god he settles well in his crate. After work is usually a 2 mile walk and 30 minutes of training or physical play. Admittedly we don't do much in the mornings because he likes to sleep in.

And now this i can say they are not for everyone. You must know how to raise them. I trained my pitbulls to be quiet in case someone broke in. Someone broke in my house one night, and they destroyed the thief. My pitbulls do their job well. I am a proud pitbull dad, and I will do anything for them. When I thorw party's and have people over, I don't need to have them locked up they know how to behave, and for that, I am really proud they become a part of the party. But one thing I know is this when it's time to sleep they know that Guard duty is on.

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.

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.

Just a quick clarification about breed recognition in clubs. You mentioned that the dog history is from UK, but the breed was created here in the US, but only recognized by UKC . It's not actually what it seems. The (UKC) UNITED KENNEL CLUB, is NOT the Kennel Club of the United Kingdom, in the UK. The official club is in the UK is actually THE KENNEL CLUB, or KC. The UKC, or United Kennel Club, is an American based club, created in 1898 in Kalamazoo, MI. The very first dog registered was an American Pit Bull Terrier. Chauncey Z. Bennett created because he disagreed with the AKCs strong adherence to breed standard and "conformation-only" shows. The UKC was more interested in working dogs, companion dogs, and hunting dogs. They will also register dogs with breeding rights from other registeries that have limited breeding on said dog based on the dog's intended purposed when originally registered and sold by breeder. They do not require DNA to verify dog breed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have a pitbull/rottweiler mix. I have 2 thoughts. Firstly, this is an amazing video. Secondly, mine was a complete mess until I found Garett's online training. If you are going to get a pit, Garett is your savior. I trust him completely and I would run any other advice by him before I used it. Thank you for changing our lives sir.

_- i know it's not the right vid but since it's the latest one, here i am... -_ 💥 Can an *expert* *_please_* answer this question for me? (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... American Standard Dog Training are DEFINITELY RIGHT about all this stuff in the video!

I was raised with one who put up dutifully with my drooling, biting, nd would die to protect me. She died of some intestinal issue I am not able to name since I was five when she died. We raised Weimar's, Pitts, dash hounds, and a mutte names Heidi I have respect for them but properly trained they are good animals.

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.

Very good video! The Pitbull is not for everyone, as some people claim. I am happy you didn't sugar coat. They are cool dogs but dogs but are WAY too common for their own good and the good of society. So no, they are not right for me even if I am active in dog sport and exercise my dogs much.

One last thought, just wanted to mention the personality on these dogs. They will make you laugh! Mine was pouncing at the floor the other night when my sister was working out in the basement. This is the same dog that howls at sticks in the water (he refuses to swim) he can't get to and once lost his marbles over a drawing of a squirrel. He also recognizes the "you have arrived" GPS voice message and gets super excited. He is the most affectionate and goofy dog.

The sex of a dog seems more important than their breed, except for Chauhuas. Females tend to want to please their owners and are not territorial.

Lol as an insurance defense attorney, I don't advise homeowners to own pitbulls. If your pitbull bites someone or destroys property, your policy likely will not cover the damages. So if you're sued you're on your own.

As an ABPT owner for the past 14 years I don't advise that 90% of the people that own pitbulls should, regardless of their housing status. The avg person is just not equipped or willing to put the time and effort into the obedience and forethought that's required to own one without endangering the public

I have a pitbull shar pei mix, he is hands down the greatest dog ive ever had and have ever been around. He is the sweetest boy to EVERYONE and loves to play with other dogs, never have ever had an issue with my yogi bear. He was put in the furthest kennel at the humain society and marked as an older dog, he wasnt over 3 at the time, and ive had him for 7 years now. From labs mastiffs collies, my pitbull mix has been the best dog ive ever owned in my life. ❤

Hell Na lmao not a jogging breed. Yes they love to run and are athletic but extreme prey drive you gotta leash them. Like the gentlemen said unless you MASTERED the recall. Read up some Richard Stratton books on the APBT it’s a great introduction on the breed. Also you need supervision with you pit around other dogs. 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.
