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 However, pitbull owners know their dogs are highly affectionate and loyal, and this stigma is outdated and harmful.

    Highly recommend Dog Training Elite! My rescue, Ziva, and I took the leap with the Platinum Package and have just completed our individual sessions. The training was personalized, well-structured, and thoughtfully paced, with a strong emphasis on building my confidence as an owner and reinforcing the importance of consistency. Ziva struggles with reactivity, which can make navigating unfamiliar situations challenging. After completing the individual sessions, I now feel equipped to support her needs. I also developed a stronger understanding of her personality and how to provide the calm, consistent leadership she needs to succeed. Ramiro was professional, knowledgeable, and realistic throughout the process. I truly appreciate the individualized approach and the focus on developing effective tools for specific situations that used to be stressful. We’re looking forward to the group classes and taking advantage of the lifetime support! Thanks for everything!

    This was an amazing dog training experience for our family. Any questions we had were addressed and Tina provided a lot of helpful information. Tina is very knowledgeable and supportive. We are grateful for her hard work with August! I would highly recommend this program!

    I have loved my training experience so far! Hannah has been my dog trainer and she was amazing. She explained everything so well, she is patient and helpful and never made me feel un supported at any time. She is so sweet and kind and I loved having her as my trainer. My dog Zoya started with the puppy and obedience training and now we are moving into service work and I couldn't be more confident with her because of Hannah! Overall great place and I couldn't be more happy with choosing dog training elite.

    I highly recommend Elite Dog Training!! Our dog was very timid and I was fearful that he was beyond help. We couldn’t even take him for a walk because he would shut down when we put a leash on him. Then we met Jen from Elite Dog Training. After the initial consultation, she arranged Mitchell to be our trainer. With Mitchell’s help, our dog is transformed! We are 100% satisfied with the results from this program and have no hesitation recommending this company to dog owners. Mitch is awesome!

    I will be honest, I was very nervous about how training our six-year-old heeler would go. With a growing family and lots of play dates in our future. Dixie wasn’t great with meeting other dogs or new people. Our family decided it was best to get her some formal training. Tina was absolutely amazing to work with. She was patient, kind, and understanding when it came to teaching us how to train Dixie and how to properly use the e collar. She also shared lots of tips and knowledge on how to handle various situations. After our 8 weeks of training, we feel so much more confident in Dixie’s behaviors and her ability to listen and obey our commands. She greets guest and other dogs more politely and is so much more obedient. I would hands down recommend Tina and Dog Training Elite!

    Highly recommend training with Elite! Our trainer Hannah was wonderful. Very knowledgeable, kind, and you could tell she knows her stuff. In the 8 weeks we trained my 5 month old she has learned so much! I went from being overwhelmed and frustrated to feeling positive about having strategies to now be able to take care of my dog. My dog responds me. She comes to me when I call her. We definitely have a much better relationship than we had from the start.

    Tina was fantastic to work with! Our two huskies have drastically improved and are much more manageable all around, especially on walks. Prior to training, we had almost given up on taking them for walks due to pulling and their reaction to other dogs. Tina worked with us and gave us the tools to be in control so walks aren't so stressful!

    Larissa was the best trainer for not just our Link but for us too. We were worried on how Link reacted to people coming to our property and she quickly has us at ease. Link was such a quick learner and has done so well after the training. Our only issue is his separation anxiety but continue to work on it. We feel much more confident now when we take him out in public and see how great he reacts to others and other dogs. Would recommend her and this team for anyone

    We had the best experience with Ramiro for dog training! Very flexible with our schedule and taught us so much about training our dog. Would highly recommend! The main thing we wanted to work on was healing on walks and our dog improved so much and also improved his behavior at home.

    Larissa is definitely a gifted dog trainer! Very well educated with vast knowledge of dog training. From the very first in-house session, Larissa used clear, concise and positive reinforcement methods that I picked up easily. From treat rewards to the e-collar, then onto group classes, Larissa was by my side. She taught me valuable training methods for my Golden Retriever puppy, Buckley. She is such an asset to Dog Training Elite! I’m so thankful I got teamed up with her… she is EXCEPTIONAL!!! BRAVO LARISSA!!!

    We had such a great experience with Larissa at Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin! Larissa is bubbly, energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly loves what she does. Her enthusiasm is contagious! What we appreciated most is that she isn’t just training your dog—she’s training YOU to become the best dog parent you can be. 🐾 She listens to what your goals are, explains the “why” behind what you’re doing, and gives you the confidence and tools to keep making progress at home. Larissa made training fun, positive, and something we actually looked forward to. If you get the chance to work with her, you and your pup are in very good hands!

    We had such a wonderful experience with Dog Training Elite! Tina did an amazing job working with our dog, Oliver. She was knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire training process enjoyable and easy to understand. We have seen such a positive difference in Oliver, and the tools and techniques Tina taught us have helped us continue reinforcing his training at home. She truly cares about the dogs she works with and wants to see both the dog and their family succeed. We are so thankful for Tina and everything she did for Oliver. I would highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for professional, effective, and personalized dog training!

    I was so hesitant at first if this program would work for my dog, Moose. I wasn't sure if the e-collar training was going to work for a dog with severe reactive anxiety and with a past of trauma. We had tried different training methods with a different trainer and it just didn't work. I was so glad I was very wrong, and Moose did amazing with e-collar training! After 8 weeks, he knows his basic commands, and most importantly, was able to let a strange man into the house with attacking him. I finally feel like we're well on our way to having people over at our house again! Moose's baseline anxiety is even down. I can't thank Larissa enough for being our trainer and being so patient with us and Moose. She's so knowledgeable and able to adapt to any situation. She was exactly who Moose needed. I'm also very thankful for another trainer, Mitch, for helping us with a couple of lessons. He even came to the house to work on Moose's behavior with men entering and being in the house (his biggest issue). We are so grateful for the training we got with Dog Training Elite NE Wisconsin ❤️ it was worth the investment!

    Tina has been wonderful throughout Kevin’s training. She clearly explains each step, answers all of our questions, and has helped Kevin make incredible progress. We’re very grateful for her knowledge, patience, and support. Highly recommend!

    We REALLY enjoyed working with Mitch to train our 4 year old Sheepadoodle with confidence issues. Mitch was great training Arlo’s people as well. Larissa assisted with some specific on site training and at the DTE facility. Her explanations were very helpful. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend both trainers and DTE if you are looking for help training your per.

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 Northeast Wisconsin can address!

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