What is a Pitbull?


Read More
Read Less

A pitbull is not just one breed of dog but a collection of breeds created by crossing bulldogs and terriers. The common dog breeds that fall under the “pitbull” umbrella are:

  • American Pitbull Terrier
  • American Staffordshire Terrier
  • American Bulldog
  • English Bull Terrier

At one time, pitbulls were prized family dogs, nicknamed "nanny dogs" for their attention and care around children. Unfortunately, they were also bred for cruel and inhumane "sports" like bear–baiting and dog fighting for many years. Because of that history, their breeds have been considered aggressive and intimidating. However, pitbull owners know their dogs are highly affectionate and loyal, and this stigma is outdated and harmful.

    After the 2 week day camp with Josh and his team I have seen huge change in my very anxious 6 yr old dog. He went from being scared of everything (and barking at everything) to becoming a more confindent dog thru training. We were nervous to take him out due to his dog aggression and now have the tools to do so whether on a walk or to Petco!

    Before my dog went to their doggie daycamp program, he was completely unpredictable, aggressive towards dogs, bikes, etc, and not great on a leash! Now, he's doing amazing! We've been able to walk past other dogs, bikes, scooters and he's been very redirectable! Josh came out to the house for our 1:1 visit and gave me pointers to keep us moving in the right direction! Highly recommend!

    Elijah did a fantastic job working with my bernedoodle on heel walking. He was patient and communicated well, and had a great structure for the lesson. Overall, I’m confident we are on a good path forward!

    The entire staff is delightful. They treated our pup so well and were super patient with him (stubborn breed) and were so informative come pick-up time. They spent however long they needed to explaining the day and we never felt rushed to leave. Answered all of our questions and never made us feel stupid for asking them. We will continue working with them through home visits (the 1st one was fantastic) and group classes. If you're looking for a place to train your dog, this is it.

    Dog TrainingElite has been doing a great job with Panda, who has come farther with his obedience in a week than I thought possible. Josh has worked with him consistently, and his pleasure in the job is clear. He obviously really loves the dogs he works with and wants them to succeed. And he’s super patient with both the dogs AND their humans!

    Annie is such an amazing trainer! I feel super comfortable with her, she is so nice, and she is very knowledgeable. My puppy already knew some of the commands we went through during our sessions but Annie took the time to go over other things my puppy was struggling with since she already knew the command we were working on that day. She did this multiple times. She is always so kind and attentive and just fun to work with!

Common Pit Bull Personality Traits

Because of their tumultuous breeding past, pit bulls get a bad reputation for being mean, loud, and fierce. But if you have ever met a well–trained pit bull, you'll quickly learn that most do not possess those qualities. Below are a few common pit bull personality traits you may not know about.

  • These breeds are often easier to train than other breeds because of their loyalty and desire to please their owners.

  • Pit bulls are highly energetic and love to be active.

  • Because these dogs are usually misunderstood and consequently given up, pit bulls are the most adoptable breed in need of loving homes.

  • Pit bulls have a lifespan of 8–15 years.

  • These breeds usually don't bark a lot. However, if there is a barking problem, it's probably due to boredom or anxiety, which the trainers of Dog Training Elite Carmel / Fishers can address!

  • Pit bulls are highly affectionate, making them great family and service dogs.
