TRAINING AND ENRICHMENT

SUGGESTED RESOURCES
It is impossible to determine how a dog will behave based solely on the dog’s physical appearance. There are no behavior traits exclusive to one breed of dog or type of dog. There is no breed of dog, or mix of breeds of dogs, that will require a particular type of training or behavior modification.
 
If you share your life with a "pit bull" dog, your dog is not an exception! Your dog is an individual and deserves to develop a positive relationship with you free of stereotypes and inaccurate expectations based on physical appearance or fear-based myths.
 
Choose a training professional who recognizes you and your dog as individuals and who will spend the time needed to get to know each of you. A good trainer will see the dog and the owner as two players on a team!

    “I never cease to be amazed by the number of my clients who have been told elsewhere that their dog is exhibiting ‘dominance aggression,’ when it’s clear as the nose at the end of their dog’s face that he’s reacting out of fear.”
