War Robots Exposed how did you train her! We just got a female American pitiful terrier and she just wants to launch to my cozy socks and bottom of pjs. And doesn’t listen. I’m scared I’m not going to train her well and she will be aggressive.
itzamar julian My husband and I have a Apbt, she is 4 months old. We got her at 3 months. Within the first week she learned her name, the word no, come, and how to use the potty pad. Within the 2nd week she learned stay, lay down, get off, get up, go eat, and bring it. She is also very affectionate, playful, and vocal to what she wants. You have to be loving, but firm from day one. Consistency is key. Also keeping them active, and mentally challenged. They are stubborn, but they are also willing to please. Stay consistent and you will have a stubborn but happy and obedient doggy.
You most likely have a BBM, not an APBT. Purebred APBT are quite rare, and aren't found in shelters often. Red nose and blue nose are backyard breeder terms for their mutts. They're not APBTs no matter how much they say they are.
I'd say, one of the most realistic evaluations of a Pit Bull I've ever seen. Pits are great dogs who require great handlers. Its not for the young, the old, the weak or timid.
Not for the young? I had two pitbulls at my house one belonged to my dad and the other one was mines. Remember my dad told me that he would get it for me on Christmas and that I had to take 100% responsibility of it I kept asking him for one for the longest time until my dad finally said yes. His name was big boss. We were always together around the time I boxed, played soccer, and wrestled. So every morning at 6am and at night we would always go jogging a good 4 and even sometimes 6 miles and he loved it so much he would get so excited. We both got our exercise and it allowed me to go for runs alone without my parents feeling worried about me. I miss him a lot he was my best friend and he always made me happy and feel so alive. He had tons of energy and as a very athletic teenager I was also super energetic. We just matched energy so much and were so happy together. I miss him RIP Big Boss
love and affection did a lot for my pit bull.. training was a big part as well. but it's rude to think all pit bull owners do this. a lot of pb owners are very knowledgeable about dogs and how to train them.
Ive had my APB for 8 years now, and he got attacked by another dog awhile back. I started cuddling and being more emotional wjth him more after that, and I noticed more protective behavior from him...things he never did before like bark at a stranger walking by etc. I have always consistently continued training him, but I couldn't quell his new odd behaviors. I got a new trainer and worked on obedience training and he said to not be emotional etc. Well...kicked him off the couch, outta bed, and placed more rules in the house. His behavior instantly changed back to normal. Love him to death, so happy that he's back to normal.
The first dog I ever trained was a female blue nose pitbull...and I did fantastic in my opinion, she was my "nanny" dog, and loved people and dogs alike.
When you buy a game bred APBT you have a 24/7 responsibility to keep him/her out of trouble. All of us who have owned game bred APBT's are well aware of how much trouble they will get into if left to their own devices.
@2centavos they have high animal aggression and are very agile.... a combination for trouble like jumping through high fences and attacking a random dog
I've never owned a APBT and probably never will just not my preference but I wish more APBT owners thought like you and were always on it. They often fall into the wrong hands. People don't do enough homework before buying a dog. I'm currently looking at an American Akita but know I need to do more homework first. Big dog bigger responsibilities.
This is, by far, the best and authentic portrayal of the APBT. Great job on keeping it real and pointing out not only the good, but the “bad” to owning an APBT, for example: that most are dog aggressive and that they’re a “handful” and not for beginners. I adopted mine 4 months ago and he’s awesome. Super affectionate, great with kids and people and needs lots of activity. So easy to train. Had one accident the first day we got him and none since. He’s great around other dogs as well however, he’s shown at the dog park that if a dog starts a scuffle, he won’t back down and will get into it, yet he proved that he respects me as his pack leader because he quit and submitted as soon as I called his name, though admittedly, it took him a few seconds. To be fair, two other dogs at the dog park jumped in to the mix after the first dog turned on mine while he was drinking water. The other dogs owner said that her lab “bullies” other dogs that try to drink from the community water fountain (and in my opinion, that dog doesn’t need to be around the water fountain or at the dog park, period). When the lab turned on mine, my dog protected himself and others got adrenalised and joined in the fight so for my dog to stop on command at all is admirable. Once the dogs were separated and calmed down, (I put mine on leash and sat at a picnic table across the park to calm him down), that same black lab ran up to us and latched on to my dogs neck! My dog obeyed and didn’t retaliate. If the lab would not have let go on his own, I was going to drop the leash and let my dog protect himself. Thank goodness I didn’t need to do that because I’m afraid my dog could really hurt another, if needed. That debunks the “all pits are killers” nonsense. Ive seen more aggressive black labs at the dog park than pits and there are a good handful of pits that regularly go to the dog park.
Great post! It should be noted that you have an EXCEPTIONAL Pit. Most Pits do NOT respond the way yours does. There are FAR too many irresponsible and unknowledgeable large breed dog owners. These are always the first ones to take their dogs to the dog park, or allow them to be walked by a little girl who has no real control over the animal.
I totally agree and relate to your story. I have 3 male pits and they have been attacked by various breeds at the local dog park from yorkies to 150 pound saint bernards. The dog owners either ignore the situation or over react if my dogs try to defend themselves.
Very true. Bully breeds are so loving but with any dog (even small dogs) you need to be the leader. Many owners fail at this and that is why there are so many dog attacks. Almost never are pit attacks. My collie is huge and stubborn. She chews on rabbit heads and I have to pry her mouth open. Pits are very sweet.
Thank you for making this video It's ridiculously hard to explain to people what a real american pitbull terrier is do to all the misconceptions and mixed exotic dog that are being breed today. 👌💯
I am literally addicted to dogumentary tv. This is a great video and APBTs (bulldogs) are my favorite. Red, red nosed and black brindle dogs, THE BEST.
+GianniAzul3609 These people fail to understand the original Dogmen all knew the dogs as "Bulldogs" regardless of the hype over the earlier names like Half & Half or Yankee Terrier. I love a sound Bulldog regardless of the pedigree or admixture.
10:28 "I do not recommend a beginner owning an APBT." I agree, but pitbulls can teach you a lot. I have no problem if beginners own a pitbull but they have to be committed and do their research. Also, I'm in early highschool and my pitbull is totally fine respite the fact that she was previously abused and very reactive so I don't agree that you have to be older to own a APBT (although it does help).
neptunefloat I think this is a more general statement because of the respect needed to safely own one of these dogs / I have two and they are extremely friendly, but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t cause serious damage if not properly managed
I don't like to see real APBT's being used for anything to do with protection work or anything to do with biting humans, as I think it goes directly against 100's of years breeding and the breeds temperament. I know times have changed, but imo the reason we love APBT's and our working SBT's so much is because they were bred not to bite humans and to me if you rear/breed away from that you loose what's so special about them. Lovely dog in the video and love to see the real APBT being showed love. Keep it up. Love from UK 🇬🇧
Fractal Universe imo when you take advantage of a bulldogs drive just to bite humans you make it no different than Mastiff, Presa, Cane and all the other man eaters. Here in the U.K you had dogmen that had yards but a lot of men had dogs that were family pets that they took to the pub at a weekend just for entertainment so biting humans just wasn't what they wanted or tolerated. Dog fighting back then was a lot more than throwing 2 dogs to go at each other. The rituals in boxing were mirrored in dog fighting and played a big part in the "sport". Even the men with yards that had the odd dog that was a handful and did bite, they didn't want that in there dogs and if the dog wasn't winner it wouldn't be given yard space. Like I said, times have changed, but to me I think there's better uses for bulldogs than taking advantage of there nature to bite humans. Just my opinion
Debo Devil I understand where you are coming from but at the same time, they are such high energy and high drive dog that they need SOME kind of job and/or exercise. I've seen pits used as herd protectors. Obviously they weren't bred for that either but they are thrilled to have a job.
I don't really like the people breeding the dogs for that either, sports like IPO can basically be just obedience and sleeve targeted I don't like the thought of using them for PP but that's of course not my business what someone does with their dog I would just never do it if I get one.
Debo Devil pitbulls were sent to war before as well as are known for protecting their families ! They may not go looking for it but they will protect their families and property !!!
This looks identical to my dog. I've never met a more intense dog before in my life. She tries to take on horses when we cross them on our hikes and just the other day two coyotes tried attacking her and my other dog and she flipped the script and started going after them. I actually got afraid for the coyotes. They have amazing confidence.
I hate how people generalize all blocky head dogs as pit bulls. So many mixed breeds can have square faces depending on what it's mixed with. My dog is a black lab boxer mix but has a blocky face because of the boxer and he's constantly getting judged by it and so am I. I don't even attempt to take him to dog parks even though he's dog friendly because he's a rough player and I don't want someone freaking thinking he's attacking their dog. I Like pits and have nothing against them. I just wish there wasn't so much ignorance of the breed
curious about that my pit is 82 lbs at one year and growing....not a bully...it's a grey brindle..he is def a pitbull...just fed good and gets good excercise
You can have purebred dogs that are monsters compared to the breed standard. My family breeds (purebred, apri registered) ridgebacks, and almost every one of our dogs are huge compared to the standard. The largest male weighed 100lbs at 8 months. No mixing whatsoever. But when you breed large dogs to large dogs, you end up with larger puppies. Similar to how we've bred such small chihuahuas.
@@coryarnold3369 that only happens when the owners are idiots and treat their dogs like shit or even worse train them to be that way. Every pit I've met and owned are cuddle bugs by nature but need to work out at least an hour a day
@@uzazil Two words: Genetics and Socialization. Unstable dogs are ticking time bombs and add to that that it was probably not socialized: bam, they're on the news.
@@jacquelinemontoya49 dogs only snap if they deal with idiots constantly mistreating them, and not taking the cues. It's extremely rare dogs snap from genetic predispositions. Unless they've taken brain damage
Forget about protection training the dog knows how to protect you for sure. Teach you are American Pitbull Terrier how to hunt and you'll be amazed. Transfer that dog aggression these dogs can track and have lion like stalking abilities. My dog was not dog aggressive unless dominance was tested he got along with nice dogs just fine.
Great video, happy to see him not shy away from the history and the dog aggression tendencies. They can still be great dogs, but to many people refuse to acknowledge those facts.
lol I took my pit to the dog park and someone had a bully. Guy goes what breed is your dog I say pit he says and what else it's gotta be mixed it's tall and lean I just laughed at him and walked away. Ignorance isn't bliss for everyone
Truthful guy Santana I know my dog buddy. He was raised with other dogs all as house dogs and never had shown aggression towards another dog. I bring him to the dog park regularly and haven't had an issue. Depends how you raise them. Don't base your knowledge off of what is thought to be "norms". Understand there intelligent enough for each specimen to have their own personality.
You also have to get one that has less of the dog aggressive trait. There's Pitts that have lower aggressiveness, but that's probably because they were not bred for fighting. There are dogs that have a significant enough amount of that genetic to be born with the trait to want to fight other dogs. And you can't fully train that out of one which has it. It's like saying you have a German Shepherd that's not meant for sheep herding, but if you drop it in a pen with sheep at 6 months there's a 50 50 chance it might have the trait and start immediately herding the sheep even though it's never seen one in it's life before to that point. Look up German Shepherd herding instinct test. These are dogs that have never seen herding before in their life or even sheep. I have an american pit bull terrier who looks almost pure bred, and he may be, but he's extremely good with other dogs and I'm very comfortable with him playing with and meeting dogs wherever I am partly due to him having been socialized a lot growing up before I got him at the kennel. However I could have gotten less lucky, and if I had 100% been convinced that I could train it out I could have gotten into a lot of trouble.
Tired of people who can't admit that real pitbulls are naturally aggressive to other animals. I've grown up with several pitbulls and sure some of them turned out to be lower energy and docile around other dogs but for the most part they become extremely aggressive around any other dogs. Usually calm around people and don't get nervous or rowdy when greeted with unfamiliar faces. People who refuse to accept this are the reason shit happens in public I've had instances with morons letting little kids walk their pitbulls and when they run into me walking mine that child can't hold onto the leash so now we have to separate two equally strong dogs who want to kill each other. It's so common, the amount of morons who own this breed which is such a bummer! Most people should stick to lap dogs if they're to emotional to accept the truth and become responsible owners. That's why I have much respect for this man who keeps it real! He's from LA so surely he's seen dumbass owners, here in Chicago we see that too.
Well said. My dog was killed by a pittbull who broke out of a window from a second story house. I couldn't believe my eyes what I was seeing, in seconds she was jumping all over me trying to get my dog. She snatched her off my arms and killed her like nothing. Later I found out she had a history of agression including attacking 2 other little dogs and one of them died. Now the owner is facing several charges. I kinda feel bad for him but at the same time I don't want anyone else to be a victim. Unfortunately some ppl only learn once they are fined or jailed. He should have put that dog to sleep after the first kill. Oh and he is the kind of owner who keeps their animals confined. They gave up on walking her because she would drag.
@Javier Diego I agree with you but all these bully breeds and all these master of breeds like the cane Corso and dogo argentino Are dog aggressive to Saying that I wouldn’t have any other kind of dog then a pitbull or an American bulldog they’re both beautiful strong animals
I can't agree with u I have a pit that won't even bark when we're walking n other dogs bark at her.. We go to dog parks n she play with other dogs unless the get to ruff with her
First off, I don't believe any dog should be put down. I wish people would actually research on what they are getting into. People will get an APBT just cause it looks cute or looks badass, but don't know anything. They were bred to be game dogs, just because people make them house pets and had no problems doesn't mean they lose their aggression. It's in their genetics and pitbulls isn't a breed. They were made from the strength of the bulldogs and the craziness of the terriers.
Javier Diego - You're absolutely right. People often fall in love with a breed that reflects the lifestyle they want rather than the life they actually have. Nearly all of the working breeds require far more time and effort than most people can provide.
My own dog from a shelter (fairly near the Michael Vick fiasco) it turns out is a 'game type' dog and looks almost identical to the one shown. I did not realize it until I saw my dog fight and go after certain other dogs. 2 rehabbers showed and explained that my dog is not a regular APBT and his rehab has helped me love him enough to handle him as an animal that needs to have a job. His is 'retrieve' and follow commands.
Underrated. Would love to own one and run the woods with it. One of the best representative of the "Bull & Terrier" family. Sporty, athletic, bred for performance... In the right hands, they are gold. Love the breed history. Tribute to the dogmen who invested their time, money and heart. Long life to the APBT !! 💯💯💣💣🏆🏆🔥🔥👏👏
My neighbors has chiauaus that aggitate mine . They mock and carry on at mine all the time. Iv been watching a lot of cesar millan. Working on his techniques. I'm also putting up fences and cameras. Think I'm gonna build them exercise stuff too. They get vetted and taking them for spay neuter. Love em
TheAustinTessaDutchie almost none of those dogs are actual pit bulls there's your explanation. When you take high drive dogs with a lot of aggression towards specific things (like other dogs) and breed dogs that should be culled then you get aggressive dogs. That along with people thinking the dog will put up with their kids hitting it, people not taking precautions to keep the dog away from other dogs and getting bit while breaking up a fight, people breeding nervous dogs, and socialization, people not giving high drive bull breed mutts the proper stimulation, people who own these bull breed mutts also tend to be purely positive which will get you nowhere with most aggressive dogs, plenty of reasons for those maulings and none of them is human aggression from real APBT
TheAustinTessaDutchie most them be banndogs or bully's and America Stafford terrier not apbt like his dog , if his dog gets out it would attack animal not a human
TheAustinTessaDutchie the countless maulings by pitbulls werent actually pitbulls, all of the statistics are wrong because of mislabeling, stop spreading false information
Real talk.. this dudes a G...glad I caught this..and he's watching Mr. Stratton in the background....those who know....know we are the only breed where confirmation isn't a look...or a shape...dead game has to be witnessed event..LOVING what we do....tenacity and drive even in the most austere environments
Does a wolf trial count? my lil man has a big ol hole/scar on the top of his head from that experience.. might have lost some IQ points in the whole ordeal too but we still love him :D
@@edwinortiz4533 we really don't know that, I don't know her dog so I won't assume, but you should always train a powerfull dog, assuming she has a real pitbull, those dogs have extremely high prey drives, people should know how to train them with commands so its easier to control their natural behaviour, female pitbull do tend to be a little more chill tho.
awesome video... well educated owner and beautiful ABPT to boot. if all pit bull owners were this responsible the breed wouldn't have such a bad reputation! Respect ❤👌
I have an American pit bull terrier female very loving dog .smart. wants to obey. Can be dog aggressive at times.does have problems with certain people. Got to watch them.would never give her up.
Hai... If you want a smaller dog but love APT then consider Staffordshire Bull Terriers! They're smaller than APT but are pretty similar however NOT AS hyper active although still far from lazy lol they're more manageable. I do like Frenchies though...
If you're looking to get an APBT the biggest factor you need to understand is, you need to make tons of time for them. I mean walks every morning and night.. that's everyday, not once or twice a week. They need to burn off their energy (which they have an unlimited amount of lol) but if you can't walk them everyday and every night, then please do not get one.. They "WILL" have behavioral problems, whether that's peeing inside or being hyper aggressive at people who they see walking by the house or people who knock. They get these aggressive actions you may call it when they don't burn off their energy. It's almost like an idle hand is the devil's playground.. they're just like the most add child out there. If they don't burn of that energy they become a nuicence (or however you spell it) and start getting into trouble but doggie trouble which is ten times worse because they can cause ten times the damage and as they get older that will follow them into adulthood and will then become natural and you won't be able to break them from it and if it's something like dog aggression. There's no helping them come out of that. It's the sad truth. That's why u gotta follow certain guidelines when getting a dog like an APBT because they're completely different then owning most other dogs..
I’ve owned a German shepherd, basset hound, and husky before. Now I switched to the terrier breed. I got a bull terrier and an American Staffordshire Terrier. Best dogs ever. Can be a handful especially in the puppy years, but once they learn what you want and how to behave, they are the best addition to a family. My kids love our terriers now and the dogs are super protective over them.
4:55 FYI everyone, that is not a starved dog. That's a worked dog, that is ripped. That's what an in shape Pit is supposed to look like. That dog exercises and is def on a diet. That is a properly fed, properly exercised Pit. Good on you for whoever takes the time to work and condition that dog. He is perfect. 6:36 your dog is probably game, aka high prey drive. Not necessarily meaning the dog is from fighting stock, just means your dog is more animal reactive. However, cops and military look for game dogs because they never give up. Same reason why Search & Rescue also use them.
98% of pitbulls are good dogs. Raised by good people. The 2% make a lot of damage. And it's usually a bad pet owner. YES they can be easier led to aggression.. but raise and train them right. They are just another happy dog
In Australia before the government made them illegal, my mother use to breed American pitbull terriers. They were the most absolute gorgeous, affectionate and protective mf dogs ☹😔 I remember when I was a young child growing up, my bedroom was outside separate from the house. and so my mother would let 3-4 pitbulls sleep in my room at night. Safe to say I felt super safe... I love the way you told people to greet your dog too, that's how I greet nearly every dog..
A dog-aggressive dog is not for most any owner... since nearly NO owner ever takes a dog through even 1 basic obedience class ! I own and rehabbed a fighting type ('game type') male APBT and is it NOT like taking 3 of my past dogs through CGC certification. Any dog that guards or fights is NOT for most any ordinary owner. Owner bluffing means the dog will be abandoned in a shelter or destroyed outright. And it is a legal liability ... the OWNER is responsible for any damage a dog does. That's the law.
We have a pittie, I call him an American Staffordshire Terrier mix. He came to us through fostering, then we adopted him. He is about 6 months old now. When he came into our home there was zero aggression toward our other dog and our cat. Zero. He goes to the dog park every morning-he is doing really well. He has learned to be a dog. Again, no aggression. Everyone at the park loves him. We are kind toward our animals, and we the people in the family are the lead dogs. When dogs are led by confidence and kindness they respond really well. He is very affectionate and loving. He loves to be loved. Our other dog, a large Lab mix loves him too. Also, his ears are not clipped. I really don't understand clipping ears and tails to satisfy man's standards. Let the animals alone, let them be natural. They are beautiful as they are.
Why do people hate on owners who crop thier dogs ears?!?! Would you say anything if I told you I had my son clipped when he was born?!?! Its a preference. If it doesn't effect you. Let it be.
Our pitty plays with my ferrets, shes gentle with them but would never leave them unattended. She also gets along with other dogs. She behaves extremely well at the dog park around people and dogs but at home if she hears or sees someone around the house, she gets very aggressive. Must be a territorial thing. Dogs are like people, each one has it's own personality and traits. I've never had a more loving dog than our pit.
My girl passed at 14 she had gotten a tumor in her noise an had to be put down but she was the smartest dog I have every had she loved kids a lot and good with some dogs not all but she was well trained
People in general dont understand the pitbull. Basically it is an intense dog. It loves people and hates dogs and animals of any type in general. As a guard dog, great against animals, horrible against people. But, if you have two or more and go into the woods, you have no worries.
Every time I watch this I just appreciate the breed more and always want to go on a date with this man and do dog sports together. I love his transparency, honesty, and his authenticity that help him and his dog thrive, which benefits him and his dog and helps represent the breed in a lucrative and proactive way.
The real APBT is like a taller SBT.I would have an APBT in a heartbeat but they are a banned breed in Scotland.I have the perfect life-style for an APBT as I walk my Staffie between 10-20 miles every day.
I love the way Hai has properly established the house dominance. My bed, I give you permission to be here, my shoe you can not eat it but here have this toy to distract and enjoy, etc.
Got my APBT at 6 weeks old (too early) and have been socializing him since 8 weeks. He's currently 17 weeks and hasn't seen a person or a dog he didn't want to greet. At the dog park he's fairly submissive, but has defended himself from time to time when treated roughly by other dogs. Only a couple times have I seen him be the aggressor and I shut that down immediately. I can echo, it takes LOTS of training and attention, but the result has been that our JaiDee is the best behaved and most loving dog I've ever owned, and better than pretty much any dog owned by family or friends. I wouldn't say a newbie shouldn't own an APBT ... I'd say somebody who isn't committed to training and socializing their dog shouldn't own one. But for that matters, nobody should own a dog if they aren't willing to put in the time.
I first heard of these dogs in the 1990s, as my friend and first employer began to crusade against these dogs. I was not then a "Dog person" so I did not pay much attention. SINCE 2003 I was adopted by a dog whom looked like a Pit. She was a well behaved good friend, when I needed one. She only sometimes made trouble to dogs larger than her. She died in Aug. 2015. In final analysis, she was said to be Shar-pei/Lab. Other Pits I met all seemed nice, not bad dogs. Most well-kept dogs have friendly temperaments. People would get annoyed with me as I made friends with their Pits. My friend's ex-wife has one who seems really lightly built. She gets along with his two yappers and a housecat .
UKC Pit Bulls aren't real American Pit Bull Terriers, their American Staffordshire Terriers (AmStaff) but you do find some that have some game background
Tahaad Stegall you have to watch all these registery these days. They're labeling everything a pit for money . Learn how to read pedigrees and understand standard. ADBA was great but now they're just like the UKC
Finally a owner that has a actual pit bull and not some 50kg bulldog type
No real pitbull should weigh more than 25kilos....Even 25 kilos one are heavyweight champion dogs like Champion Mayday
@Carrier-Crow do you have facebook page for your dogs..
Amen
Real APBT under 42 pounds.

I have a female American Pit Bull terrier and she is by far the most affectionate dog I have ever come across. She cuddles like no other.
War Robots Exposed how did you train her! We just got a female American pitiful terrier and she just wants to launch to my cozy socks and bottom of pjs. And doesn’t listen. I’m scared I’m not going to train her well and she will be aggressive.
itzamar julian My husband and I have a Apbt, she is 4 months old. We got her at 3 months. Within the first week she learned her name, the word no, come, and how to use the potty pad. Within the 2nd week she learned stay, lay down, get off, get up, go eat, and bring it. She is also very affectionate, playful, and vocal to what she wants. You have to be loving, but firm from day one. Consistency is key. Also keeping them active, and mentally challenged. They are stubborn, but they are also willing to please. Stay consistent and you will have a stubborn but happy and obedient doggy.
You most likely have a BBM, not an APBT.
Purebred APBT are quite rare, and aren't found in shelters often.
Red nose and blue nose are backyard breeder terms for their mutts.
They're not APBTs no matter how much they say they are.
My favorite thing is when my dog busts open my bedroom door at night...if I am too tired to greet her, I just lift up the covers and she crawls in.
So does mine! she loves blankets ;)
I'd say, one of the most realistic evaluations of a Pit Bull I've ever seen. Pits are great dogs who require great handlers. Its not for the young, the old, the weak or timid.
Facts man when I had my bullmastiff years ago she was damn job sometimes but I got though it lol
I got my pitbull when I was 11 and trained her well with very minimal help, despite the fact that she was reactive :)
Or anyone else they've eaten.
Who are they for then? They're for anyone who can care for them properly and that includes the young, the old the weak or timid, especially..!
Not for the young? I had two pitbulls at my house one belonged to my dad and the other one was mines. Remember my dad told me that he would get it for me on Christmas and that I had to take 100% responsibility of it I kept asking him for one for the longest time until my dad finally said yes. His name was big boss. We were always together around the time I boxed, played soccer, and wrestled. So every morning at 6am and at night we would always go jogging a good 4 and even sometimes 6 miles and he loved it so much he would get so excited. We both got our exercise and it allowed me to go for runs alone without my parents feeling worried about me. I miss him a lot he was my best friend and he always made me happy and feel so alive. He had tons of energy and as a very athletic teenager I was also super energetic. We just matched energy so much and were so happy together. I miss him RIP Big Boss

love and affection did a lot for my pit bull.. training was a big part as well. but it's rude to think all pit bull owners do this. a lot of pb owners are very knowledgeable about dogs and how to train them.
Ive had my APB for 8 years now, and he got attacked by another dog awhile back. I started cuddling and being more emotional wjth him more after that, and I noticed more protective behavior from him...things he never did before like bark at a stranger walking by etc. I have always consistently continued training him, but I couldn't quell his new odd behaviors. I got a new trainer and worked on obedience training and he said to not be emotional etc. Well...kicked him off the couch, outta bed, and placed more rules in the house. His behavior instantly changed back to normal. Love him to death, so happy that he's back to normal.
The first dog I ever trained was a female blue nose pitbull...and I did fantastic in my opinion, she was my "nanny" dog, and loved people and dogs alike.
Ye I’m 15 and I was gonna get a pitbull but ended get and American bully there a really good first dog
When you buy a game bred APBT you have a 24/7 responsibility to keep him/her out of trouble. All of us who have owned game bred APBT's are well aware of how much trouble they will get into if left to their own devices.
@2centavos they have high animal aggression and are very agile.... a combination for trouble like jumping through high fences and attacking a random dog
MIne is fine with other dogs. But small animals like cats, or squirrels, etc. set her off. So I started obedience training early.
@@SonyaLCH mine is totally different fine with cats and little dogs But once it sees a Big dog he becomes aggresif
Why did you let the lab bite your dog the second time lol you could have stopped it
I've never owned a APBT and probably never will just not my preference but I wish more APBT owners thought like you and were always on it. They often fall into the wrong hands. People don't do enough homework before buying a dog. I'm currently looking at an American Akita but know I need to do more homework first. Big dog bigger responsibilities.
Beautiful dog! This APBT has the perfect physique.
You will never regret taking your dog to obedience training, I just cannot recommend it enough.
Everything he says is right on!
The recommended obedience training for a pit bull is a .45 caliber 280 grain hollow point bullet.
This is, by far, the best and authentic portrayal of the APBT. Great job on keeping it real and pointing out not only the good, but the “bad” to owning an APBT, for example: that most are dog aggressive and that they’re a “handful” and not for beginners. I adopted mine 4 months ago and he’s awesome. Super affectionate, great with kids and people and needs lots of activity. So easy to train. Had one accident the first day we got him and none since. He’s great around other dogs as well however, he’s shown at the dog park that if a dog starts a scuffle, he won’t back down and will get into it, yet he proved that he respects me as his pack leader because he quit and submitted as soon as I called his name, though admittedly, it took him a few seconds. To be fair, two other dogs at the dog park jumped in to the mix after the first dog turned on mine while he was drinking water. The other dogs owner said that her lab “bullies” other dogs that try to drink from the community water fountain (and in my opinion, that dog doesn’t need to be around the water fountain or at the dog park, period). When the lab turned on mine, my dog protected himself and others got adrenalised and joined in the fight so for my dog to stop on command at all is admirable. Once the dogs were separated and calmed down, (I put mine on leash and sat at a picnic table across the park to calm him down), that same black lab ran up to us and latched on to my dogs neck! My dog obeyed and didn’t retaliate. If the lab would not have let go on his own, I was going to drop the leash and let my dog protect himself. Thank goodness I didn’t need to do that because I’m afraid my dog could really hurt another, if needed. That debunks the “all pits are killers” nonsense. Ive seen more aggressive black labs at the dog park than pits and there are a good handful of pits that regularly go to the dog park.
Great post! It should be noted that you have an EXCEPTIONAL Pit. Most Pits do NOT respond the way yours does. There are FAR too many irresponsible and unknowledgeable large breed dog owners. These are always the first ones to take their dogs to the dog park, or allow them to be walked by a little girl who has no real control over the animal.
you know what they say, "pitbulls won't start the fight but they will definitely end it"
An adopted dog isn’t a purebred apbt. It’s just a guesstimate
@@drebodollaz3504 you're the one guesstimating simply based after the fact it's adopted 🤦🏽♂️
I totally agree and relate to your story. I have 3 male pits and they have been attacked by various breeds at the local dog park from yorkies to 150 pound saint bernards. The dog owners either ignore the situation or over react if my dogs try to defend themselves.
To own a pit or other big breeds, you must be the alpha. Period.
Very true. Bully breeds are so loving but with any dog (even small dogs) you need to be the leader. Many owners fail at this and that is why there are so many dog attacks. Almost never are pit attacks. My collie is huge and stubborn. She chews on rabbit heads and I have to pry her mouth open. Pits are very sweet.
The way that dog walks on a leash,it looks like the dog is the leader.
I would say with any breed really
The alpha thing has been debunked.
Truth!
West is awesome, he reflects his owner. Good job thanks for showing that not all pits are vicious killers.
They are killers. Warriors
I don't think he said that they weren't killers. He said 24x7 supervision. Don't get one if you don't think they are killers.
Not even most of them are like that. Some have bad owners or training.
@@CurlyFromTheSwirly Until they snap.
@@WoundedEgo if you think that pit bulls snap so do other dogs but they are too small to even do anything
My female pit was the biggest lover!!! Sometimes it was almost to much! Lol.. I miss her.. 😥
Thank you for making this video It's ridiculously hard to explain to people what a real american pitbull terrier is do to all the misconceptions and mixed exotic dog that are being breed today. 👌💯
Hey friend can't wait to see your next video ✌
I really like this dude. he’s amazing. He respects the history and the background and puts time and effort into his dog.
Hulk is not a pit bull,,,thank you
I am literally addicted to dogumentary tv. This is a great video and APBTs (bulldogs) are my favorite. Red, red nosed and black brindle dogs, THE BEST.
GianniAzul3609 same g
GianniAzul3609 Bulldogs are not APBTs. You just got your breeds mixed up.
Caitlyn Adams yeah but pitbulls originated from bulldogs
Caitlyn Adams do your research into the bull breeds then come back to this convo. Many historians say the pit bull is the original bulldog.
+GianniAzul3609 These people fail to understand the original Dogmen all knew the dogs as "Bulldogs" regardless of the hype over the earlier names like Half & Half or Yankee Terrier. I love a sound Bulldog regardless of the pedigree or admixture.
Pits have pretty faces.
They are beautiful. The best dogs.
pure muscle
I love my pitbull terrier more than my kids........I'm joking.......or am I 😒
LLS!! OK.. THEY DON'T TALK BACK!!😆😆FEEL U
Lmao, totally understand!
I hear you tho! I have 3 kids and a 10mo old blue puppy and I find myself obsessing over her (my pup). I thought I was the only one lol
One attacked me before they were completely banned
If you have a Pitbull and kids, then you don't like your kids.
I miss my sweet 'Pitbull.. 6 years without her.
THE Berrby my pit passed. Away.in nov of 2017..stay strong
Same here... I got my first pitbull when i was 12 .. when threw him out when i was 14 due to some sever disease..
Tony Cornea threw him out!!??!
5 years without him :'(
me too. he changed my life for better
Great animal ...and a great owner!!! Thanks for the upload .
10:28 "I do not recommend a beginner owning an APBT."
I agree, but pitbulls can teach you a lot. I have no problem if beginners own a pitbull but they have to be committed and do their research.
Also, I'm in early highschool and my pitbull is totally fine respite the fact that she was previously abused and very reactive so I don't agree that you have to be older to own a APBT (although it does help).
neptunefloat I think this is a more general statement because of the respect needed to safely own one of these dogs / I have two and they are extremely friendly, but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t cause serious damage if not properly managed
If you have the patience and dedication to learn and a strong sense of responsibility, you are not a beginner. You are already a good owner.
Agreed
I don't like to see real APBT's being used for anything to do with protection work or anything to do with biting humans, as I think it goes directly against 100's of years breeding and the breeds temperament. I know times have changed, but imo the reason we love APBT's and our working SBT's so much is because they were bred not to bite humans and to me if you rear/breed away from that you loose what's so special about them. Lovely dog in the video and love to see the real APBT being showed love. Keep it up. Love from UK 🇬🇧
Fractal Universe imo when you take advantage of a bulldogs drive just to bite humans you make it no different than Mastiff, Presa, Cane and all the other man eaters. Here in the U.K you had dogmen that had yards but a lot of men had dogs that were family pets that they took to the pub at a weekend just for entertainment so biting humans just wasn't what they wanted or tolerated. Dog fighting back then was a lot more than throwing 2 dogs to go at each other. The rituals in boxing were mirrored in dog fighting and played a big part in the "sport". Even the men with yards that had the odd dog that was a handful and did bite, they didn't want that in there dogs and if the dog wasn't winner it wouldn't be given yard space. Like I said, times have changed, but to me I think there's better uses for bulldogs than taking advantage of there nature to bite humans. Just my opinion
Debo Devil I understand where you are coming from but at the same time, they are such high energy and high drive dog that they need SOME kind of job and/or exercise. I've seen pits used as herd protectors. Obviously they weren't bred for that either but they are thrilled to have a job.
I don't really like the people breeding the dogs for that either, sports like IPO can basically be just obedience and sleeve targeted I don't like the thought of using them for PP but that's of course not my business what someone does with their dog I would just never do it if I get one.
Apbt are animal aggressive not human hate ppl thinking and making this dog guard dogs
Debo Devil pitbulls were sent to war before as well as are known for protecting their families ! They may not go looking for it but they will protect their families and property !!!
My female is cuddlier than my male. I think it depends on the individual dog.
a flirt pole is also a great tool to use to make your dog tired . works great in the backyard as well!
This looks identical to my dog. I've never met a more intense dog before in my life. She tries to take on horses when we cross them on our hikes and just the other day two coyotes tried attacking her and my other dog and she flipped the script and started going after them. I actually got afraid for the coyotes. They have amazing confidence.
Sounds like a good doggo you have there
He said his dog was an escape artist
...Oh How I can relate
This dog is a beautiful, well-trained athlete!
This dog also looks amazing for a seven year old dog.
Well seven is not old so I hope so
I hate how people generalize all blocky head dogs as pit bulls. So many mixed breeds can have square faces depending on what it's mixed with. My dog is a black lab boxer mix but has a blocky face because of the boxer and he's constantly getting judged by it and so am I. I don't even attempt to take him to dog parks even though he's dog friendly because he's a rough player and I don't want someone freaking thinking he's attacking their dog. I Like pits and have nothing against them. I just wish there wasn't so much ignorance of the breed
I'm happy you did this, with the caption real apbt. All that blue, red nose 80lbs pitbull stuff is ridiculous.
slottie Bob foster Up to 85 lbs. is acceptable for males. 65 for females.
slottie Bob foster yeah what's up with all that? Bully dogs aren't real pit bulls
curious about that my pit is 82 lbs at one year and growing....not a bully...it's a grey brindle..he is def a pitbull...just fed good and gets good excercise
is your dog papered? if not then how do you truly know is not a mix
You can have purebred dogs that are monsters compared to the breed standard. My family breeds (purebred, apri registered) ridgebacks, and almost every one of our dogs are huge compared to the standard. The largest male weighed 100lbs at 8 months. No mixing whatsoever. But when you breed large dogs to large dogs, you end up with larger puppies. Similar to how we've bred such small chihuahuas.
That dog is ripped !!
Great weight for a seven year old dog
The worst thing is the farts and tails...lol...other than that they are great companions to any family!!!
Worst thing is them attacking your neighbors pets or God forbid,the neighbors kids.
😁
@@coryarnold3369 that only happens when the owners are idiots and treat their dogs like shit or even worse train them to be that way. Every pit I've met and owned are cuddle bugs by nature but need to work out at least an hour a day

Snape Snape Severus Snape I think he was thinking “kill”

Fantastic looking dog and a decent, honest and responsible owner - another great vid Zeke :-)
Forget about protection training the dog knows how to protect you for sure. Teach you are American Pitbull Terrier how to hunt and you'll be amazed. Transfer that dog aggression these dogs can track and have lion like stalking abilities. My dog was not dog aggressive unless dominance was tested he got along with nice dogs just fine.
Very true... I am in Texas and Arkansas and I let mines chase hogs and rabbits
Great video, happy to see him not shy away from the history and the dog aggression tendencies. They can still be great dogs, but to many people refuse to acknowledge those facts.
People who have had their grandma's face ripped off or their toddler torn into bloody pieces refuse to acknowledge those lies.
lol I took my pit to the dog park and someone had a bully. Guy goes what breed is your dog I say pit he says and what else it's gotta be mixed it's tall and lean I just laughed at him and walked away. Ignorance isn't bliss for everyone
moises it's not very wise to take a Pitbull to a dog park..
Truthful guy Santana I know my dog buddy. He was raised with other dogs all as house dogs and never had shown aggression towards another dog. I bring him to the dog park regularly and haven't had an issue. Depends how you raise them. Don't base your knowledge off of what is thought to be "norms". Understand there intelligent enough for each specimen to have their own personality.
moises I’ve seen labradors Be super aggressive and my pit has never caused any problems breed doesn’t matter if you train them right
You also have to get one that has less of the dog aggressive trait. There's Pitts that have lower aggressiveness, but that's probably because they were not bred for fighting. There are dogs that have a significant enough amount of that genetic to be born with the trait to want to fight other dogs. And you can't fully train that out of one which has it. It's like saying you have a German Shepherd that's not meant for sheep herding, but if you drop it in a pen with sheep at 6 months there's a 50 50 chance it might have the trait and start immediately herding the sheep even though it's never seen one in it's life before to that point. Look up German Shepherd herding instinct test. These are dogs that have never seen herding before in their life or even sheep.
I have an american pit bull terrier who looks almost pure bred, and he may be, but he's extremely good with other dogs and I'm very comfortable with him playing with and meeting dogs wherever I am partly due to him having been socialized a lot growing up before I got him at the kennel. However I could have gotten less lucky, and if I had 100% been convinced that I could train it out I could have gotten into a lot of trouble.
moises SAME!!! OMG its so annoying
My dog barked at the dog on the TV screen who was barking at the dog on the TV screen.
Real apbt not this 60-100lb dogs
60lbs is well within the APBT standard, if this dog weighs that much, I'd be surprised.
NEGUS IBE u people always think u know everything.
NEGUS IBE how much does wes weigh
NEGUS IBE they can weigh up to 65 even 70 pounds !!!
Omar Raymundo not saying they can't just not healthy
I just got a red nose yesterday and already she’s so needy haha I love it 💖💖
A red nose? What’s that
@Htx457 the correct term isn't red nose or blue nose. Go and register the dog and on papers there's no such thing as red nose or blue nose.
There is red nose but not blue nose pitbulls dont come in blue Staffordshire terriers can come in blues
Tired of people who can't admit that real pitbulls are naturally aggressive to other animals. I've grown up with several pitbulls and sure some of them turned out to be lower energy and docile around other dogs but for the most part they become extremely aggressive around any other dogs. Usually calm around people and don't get nervous or rowdy when greeted with unfamiliar faces. People who refuse to accept this are the reason shit happens in public I've had instances with morons letting little kids walk their pitbulls and when they run into me walking mine that child can't hold onto the leash so now we have to separate two equally strong dogs who want to kill each other. It's so common, the amount of morons who own this breed which is such a bummer! Most people should stick to lap dogs if they're to emotional to accept the truth and become responsible owners. That's why I have much respect for this man who keeps it real! He's from LA so surely he's seen dumbass owners, here in Chicago we see that too.
Well said. My dog was killed by a pittbull who broke out of a window from a second story house. I couldn't believe my eyes what I was seeing, in seconds she was jumping all over me trying to get my dog. She snatched her off my arms and killed her like nothing. Later I found out she had a history of agression including attacking 2 other little dogs and one of them died. Now the owner is facing several charges. I kinda feel bad for him but at the same time I don't want anyone else to be a victim. Unfortunately some ppl only learn once they are fined or jailed. He should have put that dog to sleep after the first kill. Oh and he is the kind of owner who keeps their animals confined. They gave up on walking her because she would drag.
@Javier Diego
I agree with you but all these bully breeds and all these master of breeds like the cane Corso and dogo argentino Are dog aggressive to Saying that I wouldn’t have any other kind of dog then a pitbull or an American bulldog they’re both beautiful strong animals
I can't agree with u I have a pit that won't even bark when we're walking n other dogs bark at her.. We go to dog parks n she play with other dogs unless the get to ruff with her
First off, I don't believe any dog should be put down. I wish people would actually research on what they are getting into. People will get an APBT just cause it looks cute or looks badass, but don't know anything. They were bred to be game dogs, just because people make them house pets and had no problems doesn't mean they lose their aggression. It's in their genetics and pitbulls isn't a breed. They were made from the strength of the bulldogs and the craziness of the terriers.
Javier Diego - You're absolutely right. People often fall in love with a breed that reflects the lifestyle they want rather than the life they actually have. Nearly all of the working breeds require far more time and effort than most people can provide.
I always wanted an American Pit bull terrier great dogs. Instead I adopted my special American Staffy also a great dog.
Amstaffs are beautiful! I am more of an English staffy guy myself. Just live their compact size.
My own dog from a shelter (fairly near the Michael Vick fiasco) it turns out is a 'game type' dog and looks almost identical to the one shown. I did not realize it until I saw my dog fight and go after certain other dogs. 2 rehabbers showed and explained that my dog is not a regular APBT and his rehab has helped me love him enough to handle him as an animal that needs to have a job. His is 'retrieve' and follow commands.
Underrated. Would love to own one and run the woods with it. One of the best representative of the "Bull & Terrier" family. Sporty, athletic, bred for performance... In the right hands, they are gold. Love the breed history. Tribute to the dogmen who invested their time, money and heart. Long life to the APBT !! 💯💯💣💣🏆🏆🔥🔥👏👏
Thank you Zeke been waiting on this one for a good minute. Dogumentary Tv your killing it!
NO WAY MY NEIGHBOR OR ANYONE ELSE HANDLES MY DOG....
Shawn Davis I’ve got one neighbor I would trust. But definitely no stranger or from some dog walking app
My neighbors has chiauaus that aggitate mine . They mock and carry on at mine all the time. Iv been watching a lot of cesar millan. Working on his techniques. I'm also putting up fences and cameras. Think I'm gonna build them exercise stuff too. They get vetted and taking them for spay neuter.
Love em
The dog looks so fit! I love his long normal ears
Pitbulls requires an alpha owner, most of owners in the world doesnt even know what thats all about...
I am the alpha bitch at my house. All my dogs know it. I won't have a "bad" dog.
Animal aggressive not human aggressive
TheAustinTessaDutchie almost none of those dogs are actual pit bulls there's your explanation. When you take high drive dogs with a lot of aggression towards specific things (like other dogs) and breed dogs that should be culled then you get aggressive dogs. That along with people thinking the dog will put up with their kids hitting it, people not taking precautions to keep the dog away from other dogs and getting bit while breaking up a fight, people breeding nervous dogs, and socialization, people not giving high drive bull breed mutts the proper stimulation, people who own these bull breed mutts also tend to be purely positive which will get you nowhere with most aggressive dogs, plenty of reasons for those maulings and none of them is human aggression from real APBT
TheAustinTessaDutchie most them be banndogs or bully's and America Stafford terrier not apbt like his dog , if his dog gets out it would attack animal not a human
TheAustinTessaDutchie the countless maulings by pitbulls werent actually pitbulls, all of the statistics are wrong because of mislabeling, stop spreading false information
indeed but this attack training really needs to stop , why can't they just leave this wonderful breed alone
TheAustinTessaDutchie those maulings are caused by mixed bull breed mutts not American Pitbull terriers.
Real talk.. this dudes a G...glad I caught this..and he's watching Mr. Stratton in the background....those who know....know we are the only breed where confirmation isn't a look...or a shape...dead game has to be witnessed event..LOVING what we do....tenacity and drive even in the most austere environments
Does a wolf trial count? my lil man has a big ol hole/scar on the top of his head from that experience.. might have lost some IQ points in the whole ordeal too but we still love him :D
I got so blessed with my pitty. Never formally trained her but she is so well behaved, loves people, loves kids, loves other dogs. She is so chill.
Why tf wouldn't your train it?
@@BiggestHater754could be she knew how to train a dog naturally. Or did all the right things through work/experience/research. Dog is chill.
@@edwinortiz4533 we really don't know that, I don't know her dog so I won't assume, but you should always train a powerfull dog, assuming she has a real pitbull, those dogs have extremely high prey drives, people should know how to train them with commands so its easier to control their natural behaviour, female pitbull do tend to be a little more chill tho.
I thought i knew what unconditional love was until my pitbull just came into my life and showed me what it really is
Excellent video. You cover some good points about owning an APBT that most people dont realize or dont want to realize about the breed.
awesome video... well educated owner and beautiful ABPT to boot. if all pit bull owners were this responsible the breed wouldn't have such a bad reputation! Respect ❤👌
The problem is mutts, bullies, mastiffs and American bulldogs being labeled as pitbulls.
Jesus Christ luvs us all 💜❤️
Love seeing real apbts shown in this light. I was worried when i clicked the video id see staffies or bullys but this is the real deal
I have an American pit bull terrier female very loving dog .smart. wants to obey. Can be dog aggressive at times.does have problems with certain people. Got to watch them.would never give her up.
Finally yes!!!! I've been waiting for this for so long 😊
Clipping ears is like circumcising. Quality of life is not significantly compromised.
Yea it’s not bad. It’s nice on Doberman pinschers.
Ikr. All these ppl mad about the dogs ears and the dogs can't even see their ears 😂😂😂.
Hai... If you want a smaller dog but love APT then consider Staffordshire Bull Terriers! They're smaller than APT but are pretty similar however NOT AS hyper active although still far from lazy lol they're more manageable. I do like Frenchies though...
Then that wouldn’t be an apt.. those are staffys
If you're looking to get an APBT the biggest factor you need to understand is, you need to make tons of time for them. I mean walks every morning and night.. that's everyday, not once or twice a week. They need to burn off their energy (which they have an unlimited amount of lol) but if you can't walk them everyday and every night, then please do not get one.. They "WILL" have behavioral problems, whether that's peeing inside or being hyper aggressive at people who they see walking by the house or people who knock. They get these aggressive actions you may call it when they don't burn off their energy. It's almost like an idle hand is the devil's playground.. they're just like the most add child out there. If they don't burn of that energy they become a nuicence (or however you spell it) and start getting into trouble but doggie trouble which is ten times worse because they can cause ten times the damage and as they get older that will follow them into adulthood and will then become natural and you won't be able to break them from it and if it's something like dog aggression. There's no helping them come out of that. It's the sad truth. That's why u gotta follow certain guidelines when getting a dog like an APBT because they're completely different then owning most other dogs..
I’ve owned a German shepherd, basset hound, and husky before. Now I switched to the terrier breed. I got a bull terrier and an American Staffordshire Terrier. Best dogs ever. Can be a handful especially in the puppy years, but once they learn what you want and how to behave, they are the best addition to a family. My kids love our terriers now and the dogs are super protective over them.
4:55 FYI everyone, that is not a starved dog. That's a worked dog, that is ripped. That's what an in shape Pit is supposed to look like. That dog exercises and is def on a diet. That is a properly fed, properly exercised Pit. Good on you for whoever takes the time to work and condition that dog. He is perfect. 6:36 your dog is probably game, aka high prey drive. Not necessarily meaning the dog is from fighting stock, just means your dog is more animal reactive. However, cops and military look for game dogs because they never give up. Same reason why Search & Rescue also use them.
beautiful dog and wonderful he gives the raw diet.
It's all fun and games until your dog uses your toddler as a chew toy.
98% of pitbulls are good dogs. Raised by good people. The 2% make a lot of damage. And it's usually a bad pet owner. YES they can be easier led to aggression.. but raise and train them right. They are just another happy dog
Props! Nice looking dog!
That a true AMERICAN PITBULL THERE NO DAUT
In Australia before the government made them illegal, my mother use to breed American pitbull terriers.
They were the most absolute gorgeous, affectionate and protective mf dogs ☹😔
I remember when I was a young child growing up, my bedroom was outside separate from the house. and so my mother would let 3-4 pitbulls sleep in my room at night.
Safe to say I felt super safe...
I love the way you told people to greet your dog too, that's how I greet nearly every dog..
A dog-aggressive dog is not for most any owner... since nearly NO owner ever takes a dog through even 1 basic obedience class ! I own and rehabbed a fighting type ('game type') male APBT and is it NOT like taking 3 of my past dogs through CGC certification. Any dog that guards or fights is NOT for most any ordinary owner. Owner bluffing means the dog will be abandoned in a shelter or destroyed outright. And it is a legal liability ... the OWNER is responsible for any damage a dog does. That's the law.
We have a pittie, I call him an American Staffordshire Terrier mix. He came to us through fostering, then we adopted him. He is about 6 months old now. When he came into our home there was zero aggression toward our other dog and our cat. Zero. He goes to the dog park every morning-he is doing really well. He has learned to be a dog. Again, no aggression. Everyone at the park loves him. We are kind toward our animals, and we the people in the family are the lead dogs. When dogs are led by confidence and kindness they respond really well. He is very affectionate and loving. He loves to be loved. Our other dog, a large Lab mix loves him too. Also, his ears are not clipped. I really don't understand clipping ears and tails to satisfy man's standards. Let the animals alone, let them be natural. They are beautiful as they are.
Why do people hate on owners who crop thier dogs ears?!?! Would you say anything if I told you I had my son clipped when he was born?!?! Its a preference. If it doesn't effect you. Let it be.
Oh wow his dogs actually not obese😍😍
God bless y’all! We need to turn to Jesus as Lord and Savior and leave sin behind. Preach the Gospel! John 3:16
Our pitty plays with my ferrets, shes gentle with them but would never leave them unattended. She also gets along with other dogs. She behaves extremely well at the dog park around people and dogs but at home if she hears or sees someone around the house, she gets very aggressive. Must be a territorial thing. Dogs are like people, each one has it's own personality and traits. I've never had a more loving dog than our pit.
It’s not a pit
Not a real pitbull
Its probably a pitbull terrier with low pray drive could exist. My mate had a apbt that just chases rabbits and doesn't attack them.
My girl passed at 14 she had gotten a tumor in her noise an had to be put down but she was the smartest dog I have every had she loved kids a lot and good with some dogs not all but she was well trained
I've had so many dogs throughout my life. By far the best dog I've had. My 1st APBT rescued at 6 months. Right around 1 year to this day.
People in general dont understand the pitbull. Basically it is an intense dog. It loves people and hates dogs and animals of any type in general. As a guard dog, great against animals, horrible against people. But, if you have two or more and go into the woods, you have no worries.
Every time I watch this I just appreciate the breed more and always want to go on a date with this man and do dog sports together. I love his transparency, honesty, and his authenticity that help him and his dog thrive, which benefits him and his dog and helps represent the breed in a lucrative and proactive way.
This breed is not for every one ,if you don't have time to put into this breed please don't get one ,there are lots of other great breeds of dogs
The real APBT is like a taller SBT.I would have an APBT in a heartbeat but they are a banned breed in Scotland.I have the perfect life-style for an APBT as I walk my Staffie between 10-20 miles every day.
Longer muzzles generally too. But they can be short
Mix in lard with their food, and raw eggs. Never feed your dog corporate dog foods. Purina is one of the worst. imo
I love the way Hai has properly established the house dominance. My bed, I give you permission to be here, my shoe you can not eat it but here have this toy to distract and enjoy, etc.
pr fucking up the breed with bullies no disrespect to the bullies I like them to but pr used to breed some of the best Geronimo Hemphill red pitbulls
That's a fine dog, not an ounce of fat on him.
American Pit Bull Terrier is my favorite breed I love them to death 💯❤
he's all muscles
This dogy tv real I love seeing the true American pitbull terrier
Best show about dogs on UA-cam. Great dog breed. My favorite by far.
The American pitbull terrier is the best fighting dog breed in the world
Got my APBT at 6 weeks old (too early) and have been socializing him since 8 weeks. He's currently 17 weeks and hasn't seen a person or a dog he didn't want to greet. At the dog park he's fairly submissive, but has defended himself from time to time when treated roughly by other dogs. Only a couple times have I seen him be the aggressor and I shut that down immediately. I can echo, it takes LOTS of training and attention, but the result has been that our JaiDee is the best behaved and most loving dog I've ever owned, and better than pretty much any dog owned by family or friends. I wouldn't say a newbie shouldn't own an APBT ... I'd say somebody who isn't committed to training and socializing their dog shouldn't own one. But for that matters, nobody should own a dog if they aren't willing to put in the time.
I first heard of these dogs in the 1990s, as my friend and first employer began to crusade against these dogs. I was not then a "Dog person" so I did not pay much attention. SINCE 2003 I was adopted by a dog whom looked like a Pit. She was a well behaved good friend, when I needed one. She only sometimes made trouble to dogs larger than her. She died in Aug. 2015. In final analysis, she was said to be Shar-pei/Lab. Other Pits I met all seemed nice, not bad dogs. Most well-kept dogs have friendly temperaments. People would get annoyed with me as I made friends with their Pits. My friend's ex-wife has one who seems really lightly built. She gets along with his two yappers and a housecat .
I had one when I was 8years old sadly she passed away in 2015 😭 2019 I'm adopting a new puppers soon Miss you Abby 💜
Pitbull are all type of dog they will do anything u want
UKC Pit Bulls aren't real American Pit Bull Terriers, their American Staffordshire Terriers (AmStaff) but you do find some that have some game background
Tahaad Stegall you have to watch all these registery these days. They're labeling everything a pit for money . Learn how to read pedigrees and understand standard. ADBA was great but now they're just like the UKC
Rawjan 39 I agree
They still share some of the same blood
so there is a fake APBT? what kind a dog breed is that?
