What a trainer says about pitbulls

[font=Garamond, Times, Serif]Sam, the dog trainer says,[/font] [font=Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif]"I have trained many pit bull dogs of various breeds... MOST ARE NICE DOGS, a few were nasty (and that would true concerning ANY breed of dog). The nice ones are typical of the pit fighting breeds. The nasty ones were usually made that way because of a ruined puppyhood (neglect, teasing, lack of socialization, abuse, etc.) or because of backyard breeding (poor/ questionable genetics). A properly socialized and trained pit bull dog is a fine companion for children and adults AND IS SAFE TO OWN. I believe that almost EVERY pit bull attack could be prevented by a.) Only purchasing a dog from a good breeder; b.) Proper socialization of the puppies; c.) Proper training of the dogs; d.) Proper supervision by responsible adults; and e.) Proper containment when not supervised. THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE FOLKS!!! This is true for all dogs, not just this one breed. When a breed gets a bad reputation for biting, these same principles apply. It is foolish, and foolhardy, to focus on the breed instead of proper dog breeding and management techniques. "[/font]

All so very true, thanks.

 

Sam the dog trainer has a lot of sane, rational things to say about pits. A good site to distribute to those in need of some education.

 

Great post!
