The collar around the pitt bull is called a Pinch Collar. It works by the blunt "barbs" pinching the skin around a dog's kneck between them.
These collars work well to handle and train a problem dog. They are not cruel. 99.99% of dog owners are not qualified to use them with their dog. Dogs can in fact be hurt by these collars. The Barbs, if pulled too hard, have been known to dig in and cause piercing wounds to the dog's neck. There is very rarely a NEED to use this collar. While once a prefered training method, it's no longer a popular one. Dogs that need to be controled can be handeld with a bridle around the nose. This pulls the dog's nose down, like it would a horse. A dog can not fight against it and it will stop even the largest dog in it's tracks. Most Veternarians trained today do NOT reccomend using pinch collars. 3 out of 3 I know personally, including my sister, would not suggest this to be the best training method. At least one diagrees with their use all together. Another problem with Pinch Collars is they are negative re-inforcment collars. The dog behaves because it does not want to be corrected. Once off the collar, often a dog's mindset will change. They know the collar is not there and they can not be corrected. Positive reinforcment is by far the more popular and humane method. A dog that is trained by being rewarded for his actions, will always be anxious to repeat said actions. Regardless if a collar is being worn or not. I started using pinch collars with my Rottweilers before my sister showed me the light. I can handle 230 pounds of Rottweilers, with one hand and no Pinch Collars. |

Some of my friends tell me that pit bulls are, by blood, killers...that is, even if they're not trained to kill, they all have the potential to start attacking a kid or baby randomly...is that true? what about if your dog is trained strict and hardcore, could that still happen from a pit??? |

Read this site and make up your own mind: http://www.fataldogattacks.com/ One concern however, some Airlines will not fly adult Pittbulls at all. They do have a bad repuation. Pittbulls were bread to fight other dogs. They are not considered in the man stopper class of dogs (Rottweiler, Sheppard, Doberman) because they are not well suited as guard dogs. They're usually not big enough. Anybody who thinks a pittbull locked on to their arm is more dangerous that a Rottweiler pinning you to the ground, is simply wrong. You'll notice police and millitary use Sheppards, not Pittbulls. Pittbulls that WERE bread for fighting, needed to be handled by people still. A dog that randomly attacked people, including handlers, would be destroyed. |

Thanx man..I'm glad, pits are awesome.... Only, I can't decide which I dogs I like more, Shepherd's or Pits...that's a tough one... |

Dogs of sufficient size to hurt a child, should not be left alone with children. Children behave differently than adults. Their body language can easily be misinterpreted by a dog. The strength of a Pittbull's jaw means that if something DOES happen, it can turn out very, very bad. Be a responsible partent and dog owner and you'll never have a problem. |

They were first bred to kill mice and rats in a pit? Time passed and they started putting 2 dogs in the pit, they started fighting, and eventually the mice/rats were taken out of the picture. |

A much heavier Rottweiler, without a jaw that "locks", can bite hard enough to stop any human. The additional size makes them that much more effective. Of course pittbulls could stop a man ... It's just a classification of training. |

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....... |
I had a bull terrier living around the corner when I was growing up. She was the friendliest dog you could ever wish for... she recognised me and always wagged her tail furiously (that's in a good way :) ) when she saw me.
The only time she ever hurt me was when she got a bit excited and "bopped" my nose with hers... but that was pure excitement, nothing aggressive... I was just a small kid so it hurt a bit more. I still have some photos of her in my old albums. :) |
Right now we have a male Kuvasz, but our next dog os going to be an Staffie....

And I was and am positive that a Pit Bull Terrier can be trained as any other dog, with the proper training, we have done it......not talking Shutzund here, I'm talking real personal protection, not the kind where you train the dog to fire on people and then expect them to go to the school to show the kids how nice a dog they really are. I'm talking handler and family are the only ones that are around the dog....when company comes over, the dog gets put away. At the job site, only the handler puts the dog away for the day and lets him out at night. Period. Pit Bulls can be trained the proper way and they make great guard dogs. The ones that end up having trouble are from the backyard breeders you refer too, the ones that breed Dad and daughter...etc. In the horse world, inbreeding(line breeding) is somewhat acceptable, in Pit Bulls it is a recipe for disaster. I am not an idiot, I do happen to know what I am talking about. I know that some people on GFY chime up when they don't know what they are talking about, but I'm not one of them. I very rarely post on subjects unless I am comfortable with the subject. All I would like out of this is for whomever was going to purchace a Pit Bull, do the research and get a quality dog, not from a backyard breeder that SAYS his dog is a pitt, which is is more than likely not. As a matter of fact, a few of the dogs shown here are not actually Pit Bulls....Here is a good page to read about a TRUE Pit Bull, http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/americanpitbull.htm . |
Took these two with my camera phone, my cat cinnamon:
