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.

Here's my mini. Dotson, Angel... shes very timid, never bites anyone, always wants to sleep next to you ..too cute

crowkid

question... I LOVE pits so much, I want to get one...and I keep hearing these things that piss me off, because I don't really believe them, maybe you can clear them up.....

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???

ShellyCrash

I used to have one of those, but he pissed on the floor so I had to give him away. Poor little fella.

Absolute Rubbish. Any dog can snap. Breed is not a factor. Anyone that tells you otherwise just doesn't know.

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.

mookienow

If they are not raised around other dogs, or cats there can be some issues.... Fluff is aggro twords other dogs and cats. They can be trained to listen to you, ie.. Dog goes after another dog when you are walking him, you say "NO" he stops. These dogs are so great, and loyal. Any dog has the ability to randomly attack people, kids, or other animals.

here is some more info on the breed...
http://www.canismajor.com/dog/amerpit.html

hope this helps

crowkid

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...

WarChild

The responsibility really lies with you. Any dog can fatally attack a child. Read carefully the site I gave you.

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.

mookienow

That?s not entirely true...
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.

WarChild

You've missed the point. The origin is not important. After two dogs fight, someone must handle them. If a dog is a good fighter, but can not be handled by anyone, it's near useless.

Pits are definitely man stoppers. The reason they're not used for guard work is because they can't reliably be called off of an attack. They're used for visiting patients in hospitals and some other stuff, just not as attack dogs. Also Pits are genetically predisposed to be people-friendly. When you try to train them to attack humans they can start showing serious psychological problems.

WarChild

The Manstopper class of work dogs does not include pittbulls. Partly because some of the reasons you mentioned.

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.

I absolutely agree. It's terribly inhumane. Anyone that does this to dogs should be locked in a room with some wild dogs. They'll get the point quickly.

OK, my husband and I and our partner trained personal protection/guard/narcotics/bomb dogs. The best dog we ever trained was an ENGLISH POINTER! You talk about a MAN STOPPER! 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.......

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....

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.

dig420

and why the HELL would anyone breed pits when there hundreds dying in every animal shelter every single day? Dog breeding as a general rule is a corrupt and inhumane business, Pit breeding, unfortunately, attracts the worst kind of depraved hillbillies in existence. Not saying you're one, just stating a fact. Backyard breeders are the Pit's worst enemy.

WarChild

Unfortunately demand will always drive supply. Every wanna be gangster thug walking around with these animals on chains isn't helping things.

The dogs really suffer in the end.

dirtydesignz

Listen, what I said was if someone wants to get a Pit Bull, it is not wise to get one from the shelter. To make sure you are getting a quality Pit, you HAVE to get one with known quality bloodlines. I am not an hillbilly. I am all for adopting animals from shelters, I just adopted my Kuvasz from one 2 weeks ago. What I am saying is that if a Pit Bull is in a shelter, one would have know whay of knowing where it came from or what it has been taught or how it was bred, therefore puting a person in danger if they adopt one. That is strictly speaking of a Pit Bull, not the crosses that some of you call a Pit Bull.

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 .
