We were told by 'experts' that it couldn't be done since his mouth was too soft! NOT!We have trained Pitts also. Pit Bulls are awesome completely trainable dogs. The problem lies in the breeding. If you want to get a Pitt Bull, You MUST 100% get one that has proven lines and is NOT inbred. Period.
The breed got so populsr in the 80's and inbreeding caused so many problems. You didn't hear of PitBulls attacking people before then. As a matter of fact, PittBulls attack far less than Dalmations, it's just that you don't hear about the cute little dalmation.
Like I said, Pit Bulls are completly and totally trainable to do ANYTHING, whether it is attack work, narcotics or even as a seeing eye dog.
Lot's of people see a 'Pitt looking' dog and assume it's a Pitt...most of the time they are looking at some mix of dog and not a full line proven Pitt.
OK JMHO.......

Bullshit. Every reputable trainer in the world will tell you that Pits are NOT SUITABLE for attack/guard work. Attack training fucks them up mentally. The only people that think they are is backyard breeders, but they also usually think it's cool to fight them.
I can see bomb dogs and narcotic dogs, but not guard dogs.
