Is a Pitbull Right for you and your family?! 

Before I got my first I got my first pitbull, I was weary about the breed. Afterwards owning two wonderful pitbulls, I fell in love with the breed ,they are loving and loyal dogs who want nothing more than to be around their families. The two pitbulls I owned were big cuddle bugs who thought they were lap dogs.

He was in his crate drumming with his tail. Too cute

I got a pit bull from the shelter that was supposedly aggressive towards other animals. Her cage had a warning sign which I’m sure would’ve ruined her chances to get adopted. That dog was the nicest dog I’ve ever had. She made friends with all the strangers at the house. My long haired chihuahua on the other hand bit people’s ankles and barked nonstop. BTW that pit bull ended up living with other dogs.

We had a pitty for over 14 years.....he was the sweetest most loving dog ,he adored 2 of my grandsons and was my youngest son with Downs best friend. In his later years as he got cancer, we tenderly cared for him and were with him when he crossed over into eternity.

We have a pittie at my dog daycare who wasn’t accepted anywhere else for reasons I’m not necessarily sure. She’s funny with new people but all she ever does is bark at me, she’s never once tried to bite a person or start a fight with a dog she’s just a little vocal at times. I love her so much and she’s coming out of her shell and making new human and doggie friends. Socialize your dogs!!! It is very important.

Thank you for this video! I wanted to cry happy tears for you providing such an educational video and positively promoting pit bulls. They are my favorite breed and I will always have one. I currently have a 9 year old APBT/AM STAFF who is my search and rescue cadaver dog. I also trust my boy around kids (worst he’ll do is steal food lol) I also trust him around my cats and small dogs. 20/10 best dog ever.

My childhood dog was a pit and he saved my dads life when 3 boxers went to attack them on a walk and saved my cousins life when he stayed the night at my house at 11 years old and had laid on his back and started throwing up in the middle of his sleep.

Thank you for telling the truth about this amazing breed, and doing your best to educate the public. They make the best family dogs! We've had our 2 Pitts for 5 years now, and added an American Bully 2 years ago ❤

Love the intro, couldn’t stop laughing when he started goofing around. It’s exactly like you mentioned, a lot depends on how you treat and train them. On top of that people tend to do stupid things around animals. If you hit or constantly provoke a pittie (or any dog for that matter) you shouldn’t be suprised to get it coming back at you.

I've had mine for 6 years ,loves my son and my wife,very protective and obedient,good with other animals and super chill at home

My pitbull shows nothing but signs of aggression…… micro aggression that is. Always bumps into me, and never excuses herself. SMH.

I have a Pitbull from a rescue and from day 1 he became best friends with my Cat. This dog that was feared by my whole family became their all time favorite dog we've ever had beating the Labradors we've had before.

When we brought our baby home from the hospital. Our 2 year old pitbull was so fascinated by our little baby. Now that our son is 17 months old. They are absolute best friends in every way. Our son loves going and picking up the pits ball/toys and throwing them. He laughs so hard while the dog is running to get the ball/toy. If I was to go grab the ball/toy, our pit loves to play tug of war! But if our son goes over our pit will softly push the toy over so our son can pick it up. Our son will go over and just lay on our pit when he is tired, and our pit does not move a muscle. To many times, I have seen pits tied up in a yard, with a broken down shelter, nasty food bowls, overgrown lawn and barely any contact with the outside world. Not surprised when they finally get loose, they run off and hurt people. Unless a dog has some type of personality/mental disorder that makes them aggressive. I think the owner is 100% responsible for how the dog acts. We have lost the idea of personal accountability in this world, and it is sad.

I don't think Pitbull is for everyone, but unfortunately, many people with lack of financial means adopt this powerful, high prey drive working dogs and failed to provide them training that cause lots of tragedies (dog fatalities statistics is pretty clear).

Agree entirely. Best way to deal with a dangerous pit is "who a liddle baby?!". I have a staffy and used to have a pitty and they are lovely. I have a scar from a dog bite. It was from a lab, but in defense of the lab, I had been told not to climb into his car and force my affection on him. He was an old dog and I was 3 and snuck out when my parents weren't looking. I was nearly bitten in the face by a Jack Russell terrier too.

I worked at a kennel. I was bitten by a chihuahua, Labrador and a Border Collie never a tough breed dog. My job was to walk the shepherds, Rottweilers, Pits, staffs, bull terriers, ambulls and never ever had issues with them. Great video! Almost got me to!!

Seriously I really love how informative your videos are. You clearly know exactly what you are talking about 100%

That intro - priceless! Your videos just keep getting better and better, Garret! So glad you didn't need the 911 call :-)

You got me bro. I was firing up my keyboard to write a nasty comment about labs biting more people than pitbulls 🤣 well done 👍:)

First time Pitty owner. Best dog I've ever had by far! Very sweet, smart, attentive and willing to learn

Years ago I started watching that pitbull rescue show on animal planet and seriously considered making the trip down to New Orleans Via Lobos rescue once my old girl passes. But just before COVID an abandoned, aged, arthritic and emaciated pitbulls wandered into my life. Vet thought she was likely abandoned to die in the snow. That dog was skin and bones, and could hardly walk, but when she really wanted to she had the raw power needed to drag me. I had her for 6 months. She was a sweet wonderful dog. I decided for the sake of the dog that I couldn't adopt a pot bull because I don't have the physical strength required to restrain a pit in their prime.

My yorkie has just survived an attack from the neighbor's pitbull. My dog was on a leash. We were walking down my driveway to meet the schoolbus. The neighbor's dog with no leash, no collar just jump out of the bush... That was horrendous...

He's similar to how my Baxter was then.. he's over 10 years now, but he's goofy, and can be a great dog.. Loved this episode.

TY for the training at the end. :)

I've always been a large breed lover, could never tolerate tiny, yappy, snappy dogs. We had boxers growing up, and I could never deal with anything smaller than them. I was wary of Pitbull's of all kinds. I did strongly believe owners were more the problem than the actual dogs, but I still didn't have faith, I'd do any better than the next person. A year ago, a ten-week old XL Bully wandered into our lives, and I can't explain how profound a feeling it is for a huge pitbull to choose you. Her face is so soft, but you can feel the power behind every goofball hug. She's got a tail like a Great Dane haha, and tons of energy. We have to muzzle restricted breeds in public where I'm from, but she takes it all in her stride. Never ever had an issue. Amazing dog. I can honestly say, I am converted.... happily!

He has a goofy personality and I can imagine the laughter he provides his family! I have a super hyper one just like this...the part where u laid down...lmao it's a mirror to my Bear in action! He is the funniest dude ever! But he wants all skin to fur when it's time to rest. Half on me and half on dad and he lets the other dogs know that's his spot! And as a type A no in between old school guy, dad's not the type to let a dog in his personal space but he allows it with bear🥰 a very special dog so I see the same in this guy!

Awesome video, thank you for doing our Bully buddies justice! Nice tips on giving meds, I like to put pills in braunschweiger, too, for the more stubborn pups out there.

Love this so much, we have to stop the stigma around pits and other bully breeds. We have a pit lab mix we adopted a year ago and he is the absolute best boy in the world, especially with our kids. Not to mention how goofy he is and thanks for the tips and tricks those will come in handy.

Thanks so much, you always cover something helpful!!!

Chihuahuas might be more aggressive than a pit bull but I'm not afraid that I'm going to the ICU if it bites me, either.

You tried so hard to sound serious when you were calling that pittie aggressive and mean. I could hear the sarcasm, and was just waiting for the dog to be super gentle. I'm so glad I was right! That tail thumping soon as you opened the crate was such a beautiful sound!

When I got my first Pit it was a gift from my son. I said to myself are you crazy well I quickly found out what a fantastic friend they are. I am now on my second one and I have the feeling as I did with the first It all depends on what you want from your friend and how much are you are willing to give of your self

My experience with pits is their people aggression is exaggerated, their animal aggression is not.

Call me nut or crazy but I have a 2 year old and a 14 year old and yes a pit. My dog is the same breed as this dog. And our dog would never hurt my kids. He is the best dog we have ever had. The smartest dog we have ever had. So smart. Best family dog we have ever had. Amazing dog. He sleeps with my 14 year old ever night.

I rescued an American Bully last year. He's a total goof and the most affectionate dog I've ever owned.

I just lost my 8 year old pit bull Bisquit in May. I miss her badly. I am fostering a Border collie mix and she’s crazy! I am getting your e-collar course because nobody wants to adopt her because she’s so excitable and leash reactive. Hoping to find another wonderful pittie soon.

Thank you for the tip on giving meds. I never heard the one of blowing on the nose until they lick. I have a pittie named Milo. He is exactly like Apollo, just a big goofball. He loves everything except the neighbor kid. 6 yr. Old that has never been disciplined loves to hit dogs with whatever is in his hand. I was working on my motor today, and this kid was around. Milo tries to avoid him, which is unusual for Milo. Next thing I hear is that milo gives a warning bark, and this kid is poking him in the mouth with a dust pan. So i had to stop it and bring milo inside. The parents won't hear anything negative about their kid. So i just said that he is no longer aloud to come over or be around milo. And of course, im the bad guy. But im not going to let it get worse. I dont know what else to do. Thanks, though your videos have been a huge help in raising Milo.

Ond i love watching you with all dogs it amazing you are so calm you taught me so much ❤

When I was 1st married to my Wife our 1st dog was a red fawn pit bull that we rescued after her and the other 9 litter mates so a total of 10 7 week old puppies were dumped along one of the most busiest highways we have in out home state of Aladka in s cardboard box lucky for them someone with a actual heart stopped and rescued the entire litter and brought them to our local rescue group...we rescued a little female and her name became Star..hand down she still to this day was was and has been the best most loyal and extremely loving dog I have ever owned......the day we brought our 1st son home from the hospital I couldn't believe my eyes on how amazing our girl Star was with our new born son it was as if those two had already spent their entire lives together she was so sweet and loving and quickly became his baby sister and protector and refused to sleep in her own nice soft doggie bed she had instead her new spot became to be right next to his crib.. hell when our son started crawling he could crawl all over her and it did nothing but put a huge smile on her face and she even taught our son how to walk....they were the best friends ever and were inseparable right up till the day we had to kindly let her go because of cancer..but those 7 years those two had each other were something so incredibly special that doesnt come around often or from every dog..for fluorescent sake this bread were called and referred to the nanny dog for a reason....so those people that continue to give the pit bull breed a bad reputation need to take the time to 1st educate them self's prior to opening there mouths and talking crap...the phrase THERE'S NO BAD DOG ONLY BAD PEOPLE OR OWNERS is around for a reason because its 1000% true every which way you want to slice it or look at it....not to mention one of the smartest most trainable dogs I have ever had the privilege of being able to work with EVER and let's face the truth it is absolutely a privilege 1000% of being able to work with any dog and or breed...

Thanks for your videos bro!

Pitbulls are maybe the most misunderstood dogs. They are one of the most lovable family pets, but as you have said are so full of energy that very few are capable to withstand their stamina to play and run. My first time of meeting a pitbull was in 1986 in my home town when an old friend of mine brought back home his dog Bruno from the States and I was astounded by the dog's playfull and loveble character! Nowdays very good friends of mine have pitbulls and we're having a great time playing...

I got a mix. Half standard pitbull terrier and half bandog. He's a bit bigger than a standard pitty. But he's awesome. Super sweet but also extremely protective

I had 2 of them... Simba and Nala both of them the sweetest dogs I ever had. Made friends with everyone, sadly Nala passed away 2023 and Simba left me last Feb. 😢 Had them for over 11 years.

When I play your videos Beau hears your voice and get quite excited watching your videos . I find it funny. He definitely remembers u .

Love this! I own 2 pitbull/amstaff mix puppies and they are LITERALLY the sweetest dogs I've ever owned, I couldn't ask for better dogs for my family. However i wouldn't recommend them for families with small children because the don't know their own strength and believe they are 60lb lap dogs. Early training and socialization are key

Your free content is priceless. I will buy your DIY videos out of pure respect. Thank you so much.

Omg I love this guy !! Such a character…. I don’t even have a dog but I love his channel …. Funny heartfelt and educational!!!!

Thanks for this. Our apartment neighbors have two, and I think they probably aren't bad dogs, but they are completely untrained and poorly controlled. So much lunging, barking, growling whenever I need to pass them in the breezeway. The kids are usually the ones bringing them out of the house for walks, so I figure if something happens, I'm probably going to need to be the one to try to help the situation. But I'm a disabled lady, so this would be a challenging kind of dog to subdue in any meaningful way. So far, they've each gotten away from their people and rushed me, but thankfully I caught their heads and it's been a mooostly friendly encounter both times, but that seemed to be a choice the dogs made about two thirds of the way over to me. Thanks for the info about their face and head anatomy. I don't have a ton of experience with Pitbulls outside of these two, so that was helpful. I love big dogs, but training is so important!!!

Great video!

On my third rescue pit. She goes away for training and I can't wait to see her return. Best breed

Excellent content !!

I’ve wanted to try and own another dawg, but pit bulls are just too great of a breed. Both my daughters were brought home to different pits and both times were such an amazing experience. First daughter my dawg was twirling around in circles with excitement, told him to calm down and he sat right down wanting to see her, I lowered her down and he kept looking to me to make sure everything was okay, liked at her feet and looked that it was okay, set her in her crib and he licked the side of the crib and laid right down by the crib and didn’t move! 2nd daughter we had a 8 week old puppy and she laid right down around her head, didn’t try to lick and just stayed by the baby! At 8 weeks she already knew that was her baby and she took the best care of her for her whole life. Truly amazing animals and ESPECIALLY with kids

I just adopted my second pit mix. We lost our first pit to a very sudden illness a short time ago. I have fallen in love with how sweet and protective they are. Our new rescue took less than 48 hours to decide it was her job to protect my 6 yr old twins from everything, even from each other.

My pittie is super sweet and does tricks. You can see a YT video of him: "Clark is Victorious." I've even done scent work with him indoors. 😅

Zhahn-Pam from Team Peaches Dog Training and Education. I have been training dogs since 1969. Hi again. I have 7 dogs and 3 are pittie mixes. Male, lab/pittie. two siblings that are pittie and some other terrier breed/s. Loved your intro. I laughed so hard.

I have a pitbull coming today. These type of videos are so helpful. I’ve worked with pits before but every dog is different so I’m excited to get to know my new best friend

From what I have watched of your videos I think you are a good man and a great dog trainer. I recently watched your video on Dobermanns, my favorite breed and you were spot on. I have also lived with pits for 30 years and they are good dogs, not my breed, and I no longer live with them but I think you are spot on with these dogs. I do think they tend to be more prone to scrapping because terriers are more fiesty, and I can tell my dog Dobermann to step away from a potentially aggressive situation with another dog easier than any of the pits in my past. Other than that I think you were fair, funny and spot on. Thanks

Thank you! I love my pitt cross. Love your videos

The best professional information worldwide about the Pitbull Terrier. Thank you very much.

Awww G I love your sarcasm! In the right hands with proper socialization and training Pits and Am Staffs are top notch and among the best of the best ❣️ My Am Staff was the best dog I ever had hands down.

I have a yard of ADBA Standard APBT. They are all on teethering set up. I have Game dogs for 15 years. They are NOT for more than 90% of dog owners. I have 7 weeks old pups kill each other. I have had yard accidents where I lost both dogs. You have to understand that they are NOT a Pack Animal. I'm not talking about the 80 KG, Blue Mastiff looking dogs. I'm talking about a 17kg athelete who do not like other Animals period. That being said, I have never seen a more versatile, clever and more loyal dogs in my life ever. You have to understand, this not a dog you take to dogpark and not expect an accident. There instincts are built for Humans not other animals. To make them get along with other dogs is not in there nature PERIOD. Once you accept that and Deal with them accordingly, you will NEVER find a better breed to own. It's in my blood. I don't eat if my dogs don't eat.

The creator has another video out abut a specific pittbull whose offspring ended up killing people. One of the offspring killed a 4 year old girl. It's genetic, because it was offspring of one particular stud. Saying "just because a pittbull does more damage" is non-sense, because the amount of damage done in a dog attack is exactly the issue. More than half of all lethal dog attacks in the US are by pittbul type breeds. The other hundreds of breeds cause less than half of lethal attacks and there was probably NEVER a lethal dog attack committed by a Chihuahua.

I have a pit and he is just a sweet boy, he is a guard dog but to my kids he is the kindest thing I ever seen.

I am glad you did that video...I grew up around those amazing dogs and I never want any else breed...Right now i've got one now and every single person is afraid of him, cause he looks at them but he just want them to pet him a cudle with them all the time ❤❤ He is amazing around people especially kids.... but as you say cats and small dogs looking like cats are problem...thank you for this video

Just ran across your channel today. Excellent after only watching 3 videos😅. Last dog I had was a bully named Queenie… she was already an adult when we “saved” her but she was EXTREMELY friendly to everyone including my then 2yo daughter. BUT it was obvious previous owner fought her. We couldn’t take her around any dog her size or bigger. I miss ole Queenie

I grew up around pitbulls and I have mine around newborns ,babies, toddlers, you name it and they do fantastic, they love being around adults but the minute they see a any small human they ecstatic and the adults are chopped liver. Not to mention that I'm just gonna start showing people this video just to show them its not just my own dogs that act like this.

I absolutely LOVE PITBULLS. My boy is a Boxer Staffordshire mix, full of energy, does absolutely beautiful with all dogs. But, I'll admit, I do tend to get leery when I see another Pittie, ONLY because I don't know how the owner treats their pup or if they had proper socialization, luckily, I've been proven wrong thus far. It's not the breed of the dog that makes me cautious it's the owner and how the pup was raised.

Great video

The intro 😂 I love pittbulls and their freindly nature!!! ❤

Beautiful and seriously determined dogs. Wich makes them super amazing companions

THANK YOU! I have 2... they are the best dogs ive ever had!!!

I love pitbulls, I had two! They’re very good with children, only problems I had was related to how they behaved with other animals, almost like a frenesi drive to kill sometimes.

I have a pit about a year and a half. I wish I could get her to calm down. Oh boy the energy she has. She’s a good girl. She gets so excited around other people. Any tips for me? 😊 I want to be the best person for her.

Thank you I have owned pitbull since 2008 and I have rescued them since2011, Great dogs. You have to be a responsible owner!

General Patton had a Bull Terrier the heck with the Target dog...lol! Great Video!!

I have 3 pitbulls well technically 1 pitbull, 1 bully and a cross of the two . They're the best dogs I ever got ❤

Thankyou for speaking on behalf of these amazing dogs. I don't have a picture but I've looked after a few over the years while there humans were away. The red nose girl I last looked after was like an acrobat... just an amazing dog. Love the breed personally and I feel bad for pitties who get avoided in general. They love love love good people.

Of all my dogs a french bulldog had the worst prey drive, I had to work hard to keep her from killing our chickens. I did teach her to kill grasshoppers in my garden, grasshoppers are a real nuisance in the garden and very hard to see, she was amazing and finding and destroying them. I used to call her if I found one and she'd bolt out of the house like a K-9 out of the back of a cop car during a chase 😁 she was the best, I miss that girl.

As some1 who has owned pitbulls n cane corso all my life love ur videos.

I recently subscribed to your channel. And wondering if you had videos on Pits? My wife and I adopted a APT and he's Super velcro and smart.

I got a pitbull from a friend his homeboy got a German shepherd and pitbull didn’t get along so he gave it away so I got him I love him best pitbull I ever had

As a child i was attacked by a jack russell (nearly 15 yrs later i still have the scar) and i had a lot of aggressive small dogs. The moment i got my first pit after research and prep, i brought my sweet girl home. She was terrified of my bearded dragon and little kitten, but absolutely adored the children of my appartment. I always educate those willing to approach us and let them give her a treat to learn that pits aren't as what media portrays. 💚 Of a lot of the dogs I've trained(im not a professional its my own personal dogs) from pit to Chihuahua i adore the pit the most!

I have 4 amazing friendly family Pitbulls trained. Raised well. So sweet

Thank you for the honesty about pittbulls!! Only dog's I've ever owned my entire life and their phenomenal dog's!

Can I use a prone collar for my 4mo pittie ? What brand would you recommend? Loooooove this video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Same about the Labs biting! I have a big baby of a bully dog who is amazing with my daughter and loves the attention of children I knew the moment we was Apollo he was a big baby too

I am so impressed with your training

Beautiful dog!!

ROFL that intro was great. I have a pittie and he is the best dog I have ever had. He loves everyone and is always a lot of fun. Wants nothing but love and butt scratches and he is great with my kids and other dogs.

I had a pitbull for 14 years like this pit. He was sweet and loving; he died two months ago, and I miss his tail thumping the floor when I come home. He was always trying to please his humans. Man I miss him.

He's a goof ball!!! Love it!

Love the intro! I love my pitties. Had one for 13 years and now i have anorher thats 6 months old

Im a paramedic, the only dog related injuries and some deaths ive been too have ALL been PITS

Great videos keep up the great educational videos!

The intro to this video always cracks me up 🤣

Pits take to training really well. They will do exactly what they have been trained to do, no matter what that may be.

I have 2. They are right next to me laying next to me on the couch. Best dogs. Loyal. My boys crazy high energy but I love it.

I was laughing from the beginning, although 10 first seconds raised my eyebrows, won’t lie). We have a rescue 7yo pittie mix, adopted. He was an absolute mess in the beginning. He’s still a handful. However, he absolutely adores kids. Any and all of them. Loyal beyond what words can describe. Yet cats and rats are enemies for life, bunnies = snacks, so walks can be challenging. Still won’t trade him for all treasures in the world)

Glad I watched it all‼️🙏

Fostered a brindle APBT from a local rescue. We ended up adopting him. He loves everybody. He shows no dog aggression, He was raised with 3 other dogs without any dominance issues. He was properly socialized and trained as a pup. Have had no aggression or dominance issues at all.
