Morning walk done. Now we rest

Took my girl out for a solid morning walk to burn off some of that endless energy. She ran, she sniffed, she tried to herd every squirrel in the neighborhood. Now she's completely knocked out on the floor. Thats the face of a dog who gave it her all and has absolutely zero regrets

pit mix and working on better control

have a 3 year old male pit bull mix. strong, affectionate and great at home, but on walks he still pulls hard and gets overstimulated when he sees other dogs. not aggressive, just intense and hard to redirect once he’s locked in.

been practicing daily with higher value treats and better distance but progress is slow.

how long did it take before your dog started checking in with you more reliably around other dogs?

did you notice the biggest change from daily practice or from the more intensive training sessions?

Our George is so patient

I came home to this the other day. Our daughter thought George needed a wig so she bought one on Amazon. He looks thrilled!😂

Dear Pitbull owners

I recently started staying in a flat in a G+2 building , owner of the building is pettting a pitbull. He ensures that it is leashed in regular times. But the soon it sees me it starts barking and tries so hard to reach me that I fear that chain may break.

How to tame pitbulls, how to get their trust , are there any cheat codes if suppose I had to face this unleashed pitbull . It looks but I don’t think it leaves me without taking off some flesh from me

Absolute joy

Growing up we always had American bulldogs, they were fantastic and great dogs. When it was time to get a dog of our own for my family we wanted something different. Took our time and found Sprinkle. She has been an absolute joy. We adopted her just before she turned 1, so mature, sweet, well behaved, gentle and loving with our kids. It’s been nearly 2 years since we got her and she has completed our family.

Why are many pits so nice? (serious question)

I'm genuinely curious. Given that many pits are at best from BYB seeking to make a quick buck, and at worst from downright evil breeders selecting for aggression, why is it that many of them are so darn nice? In my experience fostering dogs, being involved in dog sports, and now having a pit mix of my own, some of the most sociable, friendly, and temperamentally stable dogs I know are pit mixes.

Honestly it's a bit surprising because other breeds are often train wrecks when poorly bred. I'm thinking of poorly bred GSDs and Doodles, for example -- in my area, when a dog of those breeds doesn't lunge and bark at mine when we're out walking, it's a pleasant surprise.

In the dad that (originally) didn’t want a second, let alone a puppy…here we go again. Love it already.

We have a rescue staffy who is unreal well behaved and awesome. Wife and kids have been pushing for a while for a companion. Due to how busy we are I was unsure. But they also if they would step up to ensure he gets the love, training, and attention he needs. Wish us luck!

Ps our first one is NOT happy lol she’s 4 and has been hiding.

We found an abandoned dog. She was pregnant. We fostered her 8 pittie puppies, kept her and one of her pups.

My house smelled so bad, but watching these puppies grow was such a delight. They were all so different. So many personalities! Last pic is the one we kept - Beans the pittie mix. Lady is his mom!

Dawg

So a few years ago me and my mom moved in with her boyfriend that has a pitbull and his health has gotten really bad. He’s very red and he has a yeast infection so they have been trying multiple things and it’s not getting any better so every morning he used to get breakfast like a normal human, but recently her boyfriend just cut it down to eggs made in the microwave no salt, no pepper no seasoning and recently he’s been very gassy a few minutes ago. I told my mother that giving him eggs make him gassy, but their excuses are “he has been eating eggs since forever ago” I just hate living here because they don’t listen to me I feel so bad for boyfriends dog because he just stinks and it’s awful

Has Anyone Else Had This Happen??

So our bestest boy ever here, also named the princess of the household, has always had almost kind of a doggy fetish about clean laundry. When he was really young and could fit inside he would jump inside the laundry basket and curl up inside it and fall asleep.

He's continued to have this “issue” as he's gotten older. However, what he has been doing lately takes the cake. We in the household always knew he was a very smart and sneaky dog, but lately every room from the master to the kids’ room have seen dirty clothes gone missing. That was until we checked where he usually lays in our littlest daughter's room where if he's not cuddled up with her on the bed and found a pile of clothing that he was laying on. I wish I had gotten a picture of that before our son, in charge of male laundry that day picked it up and started sorting everything out.

My Boy Ryker

He is the sweetest guy in the world. My daughter says he looks like a potato sometimes and when he does the "pitbull leg lay" he reminds me of a spatchcocked chicken...heehee! Love my buddy!
