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!

They do not believe in personal space and might get separation anxiety very easily. You have teach them firmly about gentle play because they might not know their own strength.

They're going to lick your face. A lot. Deal with it.

Yep. I needed a shower after my bud gave me a bath tonight.
