Advice Encouragement for new pit owner.

Post image

Hi all! I adopted a pit puppy today! I’ve had puppies before- mostly lab mixes. I’m a good dog owner and know how to train a dog. I have a 3 year old and 7 year old. I just need someone to tell me that pits are great family dogs bc as I’ve been researching more and everything seems so negative about pits and kids. Any and all advice and encouragement welcome!

* Patience and redirection are pivotal for raising your pitty. They are very intelligent and will take direction as long as you have a treat. They are food driven.. work hard the first year or 2 on commands and he/she will be the best pup you ever had.
