Pit bulls can be trained to be trusted. Absolutely! The problem is, so many dog owners THINK they know what they are doing and have a "trained" dog. And obviously they don't on both. They think the dog should be their equal. A trained dog is NOT an equal to a human, he is at the bottom of the totem pole. Ok, maybe higher than the cat or the pet bird.
It's obviously well known that pits Bulls are quick to attack. And having a "WELL TRAINED" pit bull usually requires more training the most breeds.
Training starts from the day they are born, until the day they die. Period. To many people think friggin dogs should have equal rights as humans.
I agree 100% with the posters that don't trust any dog. How is someone supposed to know how well trained a dog is?
Though I trust my dog 100% with anybody including my children. Though I didn't always. Trust takes time AND training.
My dog is a family pet, and sometimes he gets to go hunting. He is not trained to be tough, or a watch dog. He also knows his role in the pecking order. He is a happy dog in his role.
Indeed. Pitbulls need a lot of exercise. I mean a lot at least an hour of vigorous exercise a day and all dogs should be put in their place at all times. Dogs are dogs not children.
