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 However, pitbull owners know their dogs are highly affectionate and loyal, and this stigma is outdated and harmful.

    We worked with Holly for our girl Lexie. Holly was so patient and calm in her interactions with her. Holly also provided excellent written homework via emails that made it possible for us to confidently continue training before our next class. We enjoyed having the training in-home as it worked well with our schedule. I totally recommend Holly for training. She will do all she can to ensure success with pups!!!

    Wonderful first time experience; professional, timely, considerate, and knowledgeable. There was clear communication throughout the entire process. Debbie and Kandace worked well together with me and my dog. During the evaluation , they explained goals and worked with my schedule. They were sure to explain the whys and other curiosities of training and my dog's behavior. I can see this being a remarkable journey with my pet. .

    If I could give Dog Training Elite Little Rock more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! For the past 10 months, we have had the privilege of working with Debbie and her incredible team as they trained our son’s autism service dog, Koda. Our son has Level 3 Autism and is nonverbal, so finding the right dog—and the right trainers—was one of the most important decisions our family has made. From day one, their dedication and expertise were evident. They even helped screen puppies from our breeder to ensure we were matched with the best possible fit for our son’s unique needs. That level of care and commitment meant the world to our family. Throughout the entire process, Debbie and her staff have been knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and always willing to answer questions. From personalized in-home training sessions to group classes, every step has been professional, thorough, and tailored to help both Koda and our family succeed. The transformation we’ve seen has been incredible. Koda has become so much more than a service dog—he has given our son greater independence, confidence, safety, and opportunities to experience the world in ways we once only dreamed of. If you’re looking for exceptional obedience training or considering a professionally trained service dog, I cannot recommend Dog Training Elite Little Rock highly enough. Their passion, expertise, and genuine care for both dogs and families truly set them apart. We are forever grateful to Debbie and the entire team for changing our lives.

    My experience with Puppy training has been fantastic! Holly has been so patient and sweet to Tilly, it’s been a wonderful experience! Both Tilly and myself are learning a ton of good habits! Holly trained us again today and she was patient and kind with Tilly. She is such a positive influence, it makes the training seem effortless! I highly recommend her as a trainer! Holly trained Tilly today. It was great. She reinforced things we’ve been working on and taught us a few new commands. Things are really going well and I couldn’t be happier! We had our last puppy training session with Holly today. She was wonderful, I think Tilly will miss her! Our training was a great experience and we really appreciate the time and dedication that went into this program! Thanks Holly! I highly recommend you to anyone considering dog obedience!

    Had a great training session with Debbie. Not only did she train our dog, she also gave us instructions on how to be a better pet owner and how to train our dog.

    Bailey worked very well with our older German shepherd we recently obtained with some behavior problems around other dogs. She was able to get him to behave around her dog, Joker. Our German shepherd is a little over 6, so I wasn't sure if he could be trained and she was able to show that he can be worked 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 Little Rock can address!

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