I have followed this guy since the day I got my pitbull 7 months ago, I have implemented everything he teaches my pup is so well behaved and a good dog
By far the best dog trainer out there
Keep up the great work
Thanks so much!
@@AmericanStandardK9can yu do a video like this but with a dogo argintino is the dogo argintino the right dog for yu
😁😁😁
@@arthurtroup49 I think he did one as a TH-cam short but not as a full video
@@AmericanStandardK9 can you please make a video about why overexcited state is bad for a dog. I know but some people a know don't believe
Why would you get such a dangerous dog breed? Does it make you feel powerful?
This is a GREAT video on the breed. Very important that people begin to understand that the APBT is not the same as an American Bully, or the so called "Bully Breeds". Completely different dogs, and this guy is spot on as always.
Staffys our very similar just smaller I love both but Staffy is the one for me as pitbull banned in uk
A pitbull and American bully are not completely different dogs. Every bully has some pitbull in it, theyre similar but not exactly the same
The ambully is literally APBT x AmStaff (show line APBT) x a bit of Mastiff and bulldog.
They're bloodsport dogs through and through
You are 100 correct especially when it comes to XL.@@s.b.5259
@@s.b.5259 Yeah... Exactly. You just added 3 breeds to it my guy. And it is not "a little bit of mastiff" it's either in the breed or it isn't, and there is a lot of mastiff in some Am bully lines... 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.
Should be more people in the world like you I was brought up thinking pits r bad dogs and kills kids in Ireland from my granda moved to usa first thing I do go get a pitbull and no regrets jus lot work and time go in to it but like I said no regrets. And best dog around kids jus make sure being adult supervised when around kids like any dogs but for some reason when things go wrong it's only on the news about the pits
Staffs are great but still a different breed than what he’s talking about here.
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.
We ended up coming home with a pittie from Arizona Humane Society 4 years ago. Having Huskies, Rottweiler and Akita among other rescues over the years. Our Pitt Belle is by far the most affectionate, sweetest, well behaved dog my husband and I have ever had the pure enjoyment of her being in our life. We recently rescued a 1 yo male someone found on the street of downtown Phoenix. He is a sweetheart, gets along well Belle yet he is still in training…hehe. A 24/7 joy. These 2 dogs are the best thing ever to happen for us❤️
I have a Pitbull-Jack Russell mix. She an amazing friend and companion.
Not just pit bull most strong athletic guarding breeds should not be own by 50 percent of people.
Pitbulls should not be owned by 90% of the people that own them right now. Anytime I see a pitbull at the park where I run they are always pulling on the leash with no recall and the owner is leaning back to keep the dog some what controlled.
you trying to pit bull owners at faults? pit bulls are just horrible animals, there is a reason they are illegal to own in certain cities.
That's normal
You could say that about any dog, you don’t know what you’re talking about
@@Thetireguy452 no pit bulls are the worst dogs, you dont know what youre talking about
Sounds ignorant and judgemental
Biggest red flags
-lazy owners
-loose dogs+ mostly aggresive/attack behavior
Biggest red flag has to go to a dog being a Pitbull.
Pot smoking owner whose pitbull is heavier than him. Game overrrr
@@metaldreams3595not true as a 6 year old playing in my backyard my neighbors Pitbull dragged me under the fence and another neighbor and mother had to beat it with a shovel and I spent a year in the hospital. Guess what only dog I’ve ever owned pitbull or bully because I trained them excercise them etc. that’s like saying all asians can’t drive or some other dumb crap
🤡 @@metaldreams3595
@@AlTiri-rd7ly none of that matters at all it's all about training and socialization.
If you fear a dog... it will know. But more important, if you fear the pain of the bite......... they also know.
The only negative I can say is they have a high prey drive. Mine is amazing with my children. I couldn’t ask for a better dog to be with my young children who aren’t great with dogs.
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.
@Game_Source Id say, in current times, Cane Corso’s are on the same level as “not for everyone”. Just my opinion.
@@nexusk9services194 That is definitely not a breed for everyone as well, but I actually think I would recommend a cane corso for more people over American Pitbull. There are far less cane corsos that break loose, get out of yards, and attack and kill cows, horses, sheep, cats, and other dogs.
@@Game_Source That’s incorrect . The APBT was bred because they wanted a longer legged Staff for Dogfighting. APBT comes off fighting dogs . The English Staff and the Irish Dog . LLyod’s Pilot is behind the APBT in their pedigree . Pilot was an English Staff . Edward’s Galtie ( Irish Dog ) was a Fighting Dog as well .
@@GrChBarracuda Where are you getting your info from? My info comes from very well-known experts like Richard F. Stratton. Watch a video called *ALL ABOUT THE AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER WITH RICHARD F. STRATTON* for more info.
@@Game_Source Bull baiting was banned before the APBT existed. Charlie LLOYD was importing Staff from England . LLyod’s Pilot ( English Staff) is behind all APBT . Pilot was a Fighting Dog . Mr . John P Colby was getting dogs from Mr Edward and Mr . Collegian ( I might have misspelled his last name) . All these men were dogfighters
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.
Thank you for being one of the good ones. My first was CGC certified and had a high prey drive and was stubborn as he'll. She also was very dog selective esp as she aged and passed from cancer at 11. Not one injury to a person or dog and never let to run amuck in the neighborhood. My current pit wil be 3 in July and is even more obedient and Def more submissive than my first. Takes a lot of dedication and understanding their body language n motivation but as I'm sure you'd agree it's worth it
Advance training classes? Can you elaborate more on this and is this about his course(s)? TY
Pit nutter try not to walk off leash in public challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
@AQS521 I mean...when u say pit nutter, do u mean all pitbull owners? Bc if so, you're incorrect...and if you are just referring to the asshole owners that also refer to them as nanny dogs and take em to dog parks, responsible owners hate them way more than u do
The main thing is teaching them biting people is bad as a puppy my dog knows it so well if she even nips me she gets sad and wont look at you
Listen I absolutely LOVE this breed!! ❤❤❤
I will always have a pitt, the most loyal i ever had
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.
My pitbull (since passed away and was my whole life) was attacked three times by labradors. She was the sweetest dog on the face of the planet. I think it's just the people.
its the people youre not wrong but the irresponsible way they are being bred is not helping the breeds case at all. Pitbulls are responsible for most of dog attacks
@@Brooklyn-rj3np It's definitely the people, It's just here in the UK it always seems to be the wrong people with a dog they can't handle.
@kiiiirbzzz you're exactly right. It's both.
@@Brooklyn-rj3npIt's the people and the irresponsible way pits are being bred. They dont exist in a vacuum.
We rescued our poptato 12 years ago. He was a bate dog and outrageously abused. He was extremely dog aggressive. With years of constant work and proper training he became a loved member of our whole community. My best buddy is now resting in the flowers. I'm lucky to have had special people in my life to teach me the way.
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….
For all dog lovers, your dog should listen to you like a "slave" and obey you 100% if its not doing that then you might doing sth wrong
Lol. No. My dog weighs 15 lbs and loves all guests. While his chihuahua genes ( mom's side) won't let him like other digs, he's reasonabky respectful and doesn't pick fights. He isn't destructive in the house, and is potty trained. He obediently stays in the hatchback away from airbags. That's plenty for him and most companion dogs.
I had 13 pit bulls and trained everyone of them and never had any problems with them. Walked them off leash. Where other dogs was and had no problems. It’s those owners that don’t understand the bred and what they can do if not trained right.
I got an American pitty mix is a flying brick of love lol
I had 3 American Pitbulls, my last one Trina died last year at 14 years old, it was hard to put her to sleep, she was huge part of the family. I had her since she was 3 months old.
What bloodline
Re: The American Pitbull Terrier. Have you ever done a video on how to look for a very reputable breeder with great dogs and blood lines??
The biggest point is if you’re here on his video that means you at least care enough to understand their breed or bully breeds in general. With that said a lot of folks on here need to stop defending the fact that the wrong people keep getting these dogs. Idk if you’re feeling personally attacked or what but it’s more common than not. No one anywhere is saying the wrong people get dogs in general despite breed, that’s also true. They need training. I see less trained pits than not. My brothers pit is an angel (literally named Halo) and he’s an excellent boy, because he’s trained. However my ten year old was also attacked by a pit that bolted from its front door and took a chunk of her thigh. My Beagle was also stalked and attacked by one that escaped its yard. These are prone examples of the WRONG people having the wrong dogs. These dogs can absolutely be dangerous BECAUSE they’re not properly cared for. Exercise your dogs, train them, give them what they need to behave.
good video, no embellishment or bullshit that people try to push regularly: like the "nanny dog" shit they pull outta their ass. This breed is ALOT of dog that needs an experienced handler dedicated to fulfil their needs.
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.
We can testify to that over here! We have two "pit-mixes" (male and female) and wow, the long short is everything you said + how much they have made us better people and leaders in our own life overall. Many happy years of love, joy, and growth to ya'll!
Wow
My Blue Nose is that exactly. But it keeps me in shape.
My pit is 13 . My daughter in law has informed me that the breed has just turned and killed children. I’m a nervous wreck now ! I never listen to stories but there is a fear in me now ! My granddaughters are 7 and 2 ! What is wrong with me I love my pit Axle and I am ashamed! I just want to shake this feeling!
That sucks but it can happen with any dog, it's been proven biologically that pit bulls don't just snap for no reason, if you train them right (just like any other dog) and if they don't have a medical condition making them more aggressive they're good dogs
This is a REAL dog. Not for everyone. It takes a skill to be responsible for a bully
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.
My pit/rottie mix is a beast at 80lbs and it’s a a big baby! Laying here with me watching this
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.
If your into small dog fighting get a pitbull, but remember in dog fighting rules these can't fight the big dogs still they lose to quick
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.
I got my first American pitbull terrier 12 years ago. He was my soul dog. He died last year due to lymphoma. I was dead set on getting another bully breed.
And I just brought home my 1 & half year old American Bully this weekend
He's amazing . You will never find such a loving & loyal dog
Monsters!!! Just dangerous Monsters!
I wouldn't do a wooden/plastic fence, dogs don't like pawing a medal fence. I wouldn't own a high drive Pitbull, but most bull breeds won't back down from a fight started by another dog, even if they're not dog aggressive.
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 own mine for 12 years before she passed used to take her coyote hunting in the mountains of Lake Elsinore
I have 4 of them there have been no issued
Both my male and female were the sweetest dogs ever. They were just very strong
F U
as a man who work on pro lvl with apbt this is very good review.
i need to point something. If u have luck with right specimen u ok but there is some thime this dogs can turn to be nigtmare, as u say too mutch of a dog. I have some dogs who returned to me after they mature, people just can't handle them. Some turn to be manic aggresive vs other animals and no dog trainer in the world can help.
So true; we went through a year of training, three GOOD trainers, and an animal behaviorist only to have the final verdict be that we might mitigate some of the worst aggression, but ours would never be able to be trusted around other animals. These dogs should never be owned/handled by people who haven't got the experience with the breed to really understand how *extra* they can be.
Sweetest dog ever
Unfortunately, a "don't". Only experienced ppl with enough strength to them should have one.
I've had some experience with other side. 1) Neighbor's pit burst out of the door and charged my leashed coonhound. He was able to catch it in time.
2) Another neighbors pit / Shar Pei furiously guarded my porch and wouldn't let me pass.
3) Different neighbor thought it was funny to have his pit bark at and threaten people, no leash/ no fence. I had to mow grass with a pistol on my hip.
4) My neice was jogging her leashed Australian Cattle Dog through a very nice neighborhood when a pit charged out of a house and attacked her dog. 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.
The shar pei is a guard dog breed. Believe it or not, shar pei and chow chows literally came from the same family tree therefore they have similar temperaments.
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. If that lady does not have bishon but pit(or just any other breed larger than bishon), he will propably kill some dog very soon. Some people just should not have any dog.
@@kristynasyrova745 agreed
A few years ago my friend was moving states and couldn’t take his dog he showed me a picture of this blue male apbt and I didn’t care much for him he brought him over so I could meet him. OH MY GOD, I fell in love with that boy he absolutely became my best friend I worked with him everyday he was the most intelligent dog I ever owned went every where with me. Strong, beautiful and so athletic. He hated cats and would chase them down but we worked and worked and worked on it and got him to let go of that. R.i.p buddy 😭 I miss you every day.
No such thing as blue apbt
@@maddogsenglishmen8020ok
I’m fully convinced if a robber broke into our home, my pitbulls would want to play and whine for attention.
My GSD/Ambully mix on the other hand…gonna be a bad day 😅
If you bring them up correctly...they are the best breed in the world. I love them
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.
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.
Lost my 13yr ole apbt/staff suddenly. I would have rather him go slowly like yours. Cancer sucks but the way I lost mine has taken a toll big time. It was bloat I think but the er vet said really wasn’t anything they could do for him. He still acted like a pup and times and still looked so good for his age. I don’t want another dog I don’t think, being someone that doesn’t have a family to come to it just hits diff. I new I was attached to him but didn’t realize it would hurt so damn bad. I don’t ever wanna go through losing another one. He was my ride or die no matter the situation. People raise their kids up knowing they will leave and move out hell most are ready for them to.ha But you raise a dog up from a pup and if done correctly that dog will never leave you no matter what happens. It is death that has to separate them from you. Enjoy the time you have left and be patient on days he’s not his self. Hope he goes peacefully with you there for comfort.
@apbt067 I am so sorry for your loss :( I almost lost him to parvo as a pup and he's had a couple close calls since then. Scariest thing ever, he's my ride or die as well. I've lost other dogs suddenly and it was so hard to cope with, a giant hole in your life. I am glad I've been vigilant with his health and blessed enough to be able to afford treatment (almost 15k in surgery and chemo) or he would have been gone long ago. There is some peace in knowing he's had a good long life but still hard seeing the slow decline and knowing his day will come. I hope that one day you are able to find peace and give another good doggy a chance to be loved 💜
I love Pitties but I’d never adopt one. I’d only get it as a puppy.
Love pitbulls and Bullterrier!
My Pitbulls just had a litter. One of the most challenging processes I’ve ever dealt with in my life.
I’m so glad I saw this . We had a dog when I was kid but got rid of him after a couple months because nobody knew how to take care of him. Fast forward I got married and my husband always wanted a dog, he grew up with several. I said no. I just wasn’t interested. My mom passed last March and in August we came across the most precious pitty I ever layed eyes on. He has become my grief dog and best friend. I’m coming to the realization at his 10 months of age he needs some training and this video helped me be ok with that! Because I do feel like I am the perfect owner for him ❤ thanks for keeping it real. I agree 100% with everything you said in this video!!
I have a mix of pit and cane corso i think, she is with me from age of 3 month's.
Today she is 6 years old.
Live with cat and very good with people.
Her problem is with un none dogs.
By my command she will make new contact.
I love the bread
Very smrt and powerful.
Her name "Freedom"
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.)
Do you have little brothers or kids? Because i have little brothers and im worried about them and i didn't have a dog before so is that okay or what?
@@abdelrhman2154 never have a game driven breed and kids in the same house.
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.
I love dogs. In fact, I love all animals. I am beginning to fear the Pit Bull. Too many people have them now. I have a small dog now, but I once had a Pitt mix. Who was the best dog ever unless you were another dog. Back then, there were no leash laws in our neighborhood. One night, I saw him kill another dog. I tried to stop him, but he was too far gone. I could do nothing to stop it, I was a kid. Yet Sam was so very sweet otherwise. I fear for my little dog when walking because, for some reason, Pitt owners don't want to leash them while out walking! I keep pepper spray and a big stick just in case someone's prey drive kicks into overdrive.
@@1soFortunate no they don’t . They have a dog that they think is a Pit Bull
Have a two year old deaf pit bull and she is the greatest easy to train dog I have ever owned
Four yr old deaf pit here. He was starved when we got him. He fits in great with our pack. Our Husky "claimed" as hers immediately. They are an unbreakable duo.
I just wanted to say, some pitbulls are inclined to bite people. I rescued my pit, Shar-Pei mix from a dog fighting ring in OK. I live in Oregon. My fiances friend wanted to "test him" and he fucked him up by grabbing his upper arm like it was a rope from a tree branch. I was sleeping at the time. But I woke up to him screaming outside my bedroom door. My pit did resist until he got to my door and then attacked. Pitbulls do have aggression towards humans under certain circumstances. I trust my dog to protect me no matter how old he gets or even if he doesn't lunge at somebody they're going to let you know something is going on.
You rescued a mutt not a pitbull. Judge a breed based on the pure bred breed
A 10 year old pitbull attacked a young boy playing and the owners were sent to jail for 3 years in England I believe. Very sad
I’ve been attacked by two different Pitbulls. Anytime I meet a single woman with a pit bull it’s a red flag 🚩
Pitbulls are way too much dog for most people.
Bully breeds have some overlap, but are definitely different from each other. Pitties are such lovely dogs! You just can't be a weakling in order to get a solid companionship. My personal experience is nothing like that of a professional trainer, but I find American Bullies and Pitties to have very similar personalities. I adore Pits and Bullies.
In terms of temperament they’re similar, but Bullies tend to have less drive.
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.
Not a dog for me, but I do admire good lines and well bred ones!
Love Pitts. Sweetheart dogs, but they do chew on anything and everything. I've never met an aggressive Pitt. Who owns the dog matters.
I have a APBT and she is absolutely the best dog.
Bloodline?
I guess ive been extremely lucky. Having 4 pitbulls in total so far, very minimal issues with them. Loyal, loving and kissers
Considering the number of "pitbull" type dogs in the US, the vast majority of them are friendly and loving. The problem is, even a small percentage of dogs that attack people is difficult to get past because of how absolutely powerful and tenacious these dogs are. It isn't so much that they are pit bulls as it is the fact they are GIANT TERRIERS. If you have ever seen a rat terrier clearing rats, you will understand just how dangerous a dog that is 10X that size can be. As someone who has worked with large, strong breeds for decades, my first encounter with an APBT absolutely stunned me with the sheer explosive power these dogs can exhibit.
Man, you are so right on all points. I've had 2 adult Pit bulls (male and female) I loved them both. The female had a super high pray drive but a great recall. The male had a super high pray drive but not a great recall. He was younger and needed more work but they both were my hearts. I kept them with me for the majority of the day. I just couldn't help it. I loved them so much...
💯 right!!!
Far too often Pits and Pit mixes are owned by people who should not be around any dogs.
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.
Pouczająca i wzruszająca historia. Wszystkiego dobrego dla was 😊❤
I blame the bad owners of pitbulls in Australia for the nationwide ban
You don't have real pitbulls in Australia. They banned pitbulls based on the actions of mutts
Socialize, play,lots of energy draining activities and show love and your dominance.You will have a great loyal protective dog 4 life.
Can you do one of these for the Rottweiler
I’m not gonna lie G i’m one of those pretty skeptical of pitbulls after reading of a bunch of unprovoked maulings. I didn’t realize that there are pitbull mixes that get lumped in with pittbulls and they’re more or less the ones that act aggressive unexpectedly. Kind of makes things more confusing because how are sure if you have a mix or a pure pitbull lol.
Thanks for the educational content G
You would not believe how many dogs get mislabeled as pit bulls, either on accident or for the sole purpose of inflating the numbers. I’ve even seen cases of Mastiffs being mislabeled as pit bulls.
Purebred real pitbulls don't attack people. Every so called pitbull attack is a mutt
@@maddogsenglishmen8020 That’s just simply untrue. I’ll be the first to tell you that a well trained and well-bred pit bull makes for a trustworthy and reliable companion, but unfortunately, like all breeds, pit bulls are not immune to backyard breeders exploiting them for money. This means that there are poorly bred individuals out there with awful temperaments. Of course, these dogs shouldn’t be used to represent the standard and they are far from making up the majority, but they do exist.
Make no mistake, even the "sub breeds" are prone to aggression and lashing out.
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.
wow, that was brutal, but fair. I still love my pit tho, best dogs for me :)
I just said this in your other pitbull video and I'll say it here, because I'm so sick of the bad rep pitties get.
The problem is a lot of low class and ghetto ass people get them because of their scary reputation and intentionally train them to be tough and mean.
They really can be the biggest sweethearts if raised in a good and loving home.
Also, you need to be strong enough to handle their strength if they sometimes get too excited on the leash and pull.
My two girls are two of the sweetest dogs I've ever known. Not a mean bone in their bodies. Admittedly, before I adopted them I was nervous of pits too. Not anymore.
A dog, like a child, is what you make it.
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.
Pitbulls are one of the best if not the best loyal, loving dogs you can get.
Yeah I mean they leave the angry and obtuse Golden Retrievers and Border Collies for dead in that regard, right? :)
Sure. They'll also remove the neighbors dog from the land of the living
@@s.b.5259 That's not the dog's fault. That's both of the dogs owners, the one with the pit and the neighbor as well. Neither should have dogs
@@marc78501 lol even in hypothetical situations pit owners are blaming the victims
Can't make this stuff up
@@s.b.5259 sorry man, didn't realize pitbulls triggered you. Never mind 🤦🏻
My dog shade, like a crazy. His anxiety or allergies .... he looks pinks. He has a slective hearing issue. He is stubborn like a mule.
Here where i live is considered cool to own a pit bull, however they are some that are very aggressive on dogs, and many more to cats...
The aggressive to dogs pit bulls are owned from idiots living them alone for more then 14 hours per day on a balcony or backyard not to be seen from anything but the sun, or the friends of the owner...
The cat aggressive pit bulls, are mostly own from people that take them outside, maybe ones or twice a day, to shit or pee, so they consider cat as a game to chase, if that behaviour is not addressed, they simply chase cats, unfortunately for the cats killing is how game ends...
Proper ownership and good taking care of the Pitbulls, (or any dog for that matter) can and will get you a sweet as fuck dog.
Pitbull will ram you when its running on to you, because it has a nearly solid back unlike other dogs, that makes it super clumsy, and you will die from laughter, extremely loyal, friendly with kids, more times then not, it matches the kids energy and they play together...
I have seen more aggressive Rottweilers, Beagles, and the worst by far is Pomeranian, oh that little fucker never seen a good friendly one, ever...
Thanks for this video. Love my pit but he required lots of training. He is acclimated to horses, cows, and chickens , including hatchlings.
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. 😂
Let's be honest, Stafford is just another name for Pitbull
I've only known one putbull because they are unfortunately banned in the UK which is stupid and he was an angle
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.
Ditto on the GPS voice and they surely know when you've arrived ANYWHERE but especially when it's their favorite trail or store
I have been on a pit bull rollarcoaster. I used to blindly love them and see them as angels. Then I saw how many "pit bull kills toddler/baby/etc" news feeds there were. I think many of those were the bullies or mixes that do have that human aggression. But then my new dog made a friend who turned out to be half pit bull half blue heeler. That little dog is probably one of the worst breed combos I have seen. But she is very intelligent, but that prey drive has her chasing bikers, cars, etc. And she has left bite marks on these people's legs. She has had warnings. She has next to zero training. I have been trying to help the owner, but I only see her maybe once a week. Her owners don't excersie or train her. I just spent 8 minutes teaching her fetch, and she got it so fast. A wonderful dog, but man does her energy never stop.
That dog's owners are placing her in a situation where it is likely she will bite the wrong person and end up euthanized. Any owner who genuinely cares for their dog's well-being would keep her under control and not put her in a situation where she will hurt herself or others.
People are always talking about the breed, the breed the breed. And I'm not saying that a pitbull is not a breed. But if it really is a breed, then I don't think there's very many true members of that breed. I think pitbull is a generic term. Go to any town in this country, line up 10 Pitbulls. There's no breed standard in there. Nowhere. So I sympathize for the people that are trying to promote this breed. There are responsible, bully owners, and there are idiots. And most communities the idiots are the ones breeding the dogs. Backyard breeder, bully, type dog to bully type dog. That's why I think the term pitbull is a generic term. that means nothing.
It's been my experience that the most dangerous thing about a Pit is their tail.
The euthanasia list at our local shelters are usually all pit mixes. Its heartbreaking.
Ah the pit bull, the top choice for the first time, urban, careless, non-poop picking up, non-leashing individual. Not saying they are necessarily bad dogs, but they have a bad rep for a reason. It’s the same reason people hate the Dodge Charger, there’s nothing wrong with the car, it’s the clientele that select the vehicle.
American bullies are for the urban communities. Pitbulls are southern dogs and all bloodlines were created by Southern men.
Preferred by those who have only ever had a lapdog before. Never trained a dog in their life. I tested in seeming cool and streetwise. Shows off its dog in the neighbourhood
All pitbull bloodlines were created by Southern white men
I feel so racism in this comment
The appeal of them for me is the fact that so many people are intimidated by them. Scary dog privilege is real, especially when you're a lady living alone
One thing we do that helps with the destructiveness is to give my pit mix puppy cardboard boxes that she can destroy. Messy, yes! But a whole lot cheaper than replacing furniture!!
Dogo argentino next !
GREAT VIDEO!! Very informative and honest in terms of pros vs cons. And of course there are gonna be a ton of people in the comments telling you how wrong you are that aren't professional trainers, but I think it's very telling that not only is a professional dog trainer speaking as to how great the APBT CAN be if you put the work in an an owner, but also I think the fact that you're a former cop who no doubt dealt with at least a few "loose pitbull" calls in your career has a positive opinion of the breed.
Thanks for the support!
@@AmericanStandardK9 any time! Thanks for the great content!
Beau is doing great
Unfortunately some Pits are still raised for back room fighting and violence. Pitties are aggressive by nature. It’s not the same as violence. Recognize the difference
Nice insights on the breed. But I disagree on the stamina, part. I have APBT for years, and they have really long stamina. Especially the ones that have been trained for hog catching and dog fighting.
For dog fighting, they can fight for over an hour. In fact, their advantage over other medium and large breeds in the pit is their ability not only to sustain damage but to inflict one over a long period. There's even one documented fight in which two APBTs fought for about 4 hours.
I am against dog fighting, please don't get me wrong.
But I did spend years of researching before I even considered having the breed as our family pet.
And those are the info that I was able to coalesce in researching the APBTs or as the dogmen would say "bulldogs".
Fight over hour? i watch fights shortest was 2 hours longest was 18 hours if your pit can't fight at summer on 40C 4 hours we call that dzukela trash junk most owners who don't have good dogs try make fights at fall, winter or early spring only best accept fight in summer without shade
This channel is pure gold. Don’t have a dog yet. Just here to learn for the time being.👍🏽 excellent channel all around, love it
Adequate exercise is the KEY! Try to find one Pitbull "attack" on a human that gets the right exercise - I bet you can't.
Love my pit ❤
EXCELLENT WORK!!!! you nailed it! I have had 2 pit bulls. The loves of my life. You gave the good the bad and the Ugly. Some of the stuff I hate to hear, but you were absolutely correct!!! Great Video
Thanks so much!
Best breed of dog EVER. ❤❤❤
When I was a kid,it was the Alsatian/ German shepherd that was the most “vicious” breed,then it was the pit bull,then they said it was the Staffy’s, we have an Aussie bull dog,a Staffy cross and a pit bull,all female, it has to come down to the owners,we made the error of allowing our Aussie bull dog to be the alpha of the three because she is the eldest….. our youngest, the pit bull,started to get narky with her and with advice from not only a good friend but a 35+ year dog breeder, we were advised to allow our Pitty to take over as the Alpha, as our friend said after observing them that if they were in the wild,our baby would have already put our bull dog in her place to let her know who the Alpha is sowe did it and she got everything first eg, her food bowl, letting her inside first, getting her out of her crate first etc, it worked a charm and we haven’t had any issues
German Shepherds, Dobermans, Rottweilers. Even Dalmatians have gotten a bad rap. Now it’s the pit bulls. The worst possible thing that can happen to a breed is for it to become popular. It means more irresponsible people own these dogs and more backyard breeders are breeding them.
Can we get a video about the relationship / history between Pitbulls, Staffordshire, and AmStaff (American staffy? I guess?)?
My pitbull just passed away at 14 years old.She would chase a cat until she mistook a skunk for one and bit it in the butt.Needless to say she would want to cross the street after that incident lol
