from 2013-12-03T02:09:11
Ahhhh Pit Bulls. No dog breed turns more heads, causes more controversy, invokes m0re emotion and is more misunderstood than the Pit Bull.
If you’ve never had a real experience with a Pit, you may be one of the many people out there who don’t understand them and even fear them. While those of us who share our lives with them know the true nature of this beautiful breed.
Pit Bulls are pretty much like every other breed, yet nothing like any other dog. They are built like tanks but are loving and eager to please.
Because of the negative public perception, having a Pit Bull comes with a greater responsibility to show the world how awesome they can be. And the way to do that is to train them well.
In this episode I’ll go over how to train your Pit Bull to be a good, shining example of the breed so that you can enjoy a happy life with your dog and help change the public perception.
In this episode you’ll learn
- Common myths and the actual reality of Pit Bulls
- What you NEED to do if you have a Pit puppy
- What special training Pit Bulls need
- How to deal with a dog reactive Pit Bull
- An easy way to make everyone love your Pit Bull
