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 However, pitbull owners know their dogs are highly affectionate and loyal, and this stigma is outdated and harmful.

    Bailey has been working with my pup Arrow for just a few months and already has him leagues ahead of his peers. This training has been life changing for both Arrow and myself. Super grateful. Thanks Bailey and Dog Training Elite for the system dn care you bring to the table.

    Debbie provided all the info I didn’t know I needed and answered all questions I had. Debbie confirmed my inquiries as valid, and I wasn’t just a task to check off the list. She made sure I was seen and heard in an uncertain time where I am, it seems, pulling teeth for answers from others. Debbie is a wealth of knowledge and compassion and will, I’m certain, continue to be pillar unto which I lean during this transition in my life.

    Bailey has been working her MAGIC with my sweet dutchess, the progress is so insane just after a few sessions- today we worked with her dogs (joker and delta) and my dutchess (pitbull) felt so calm with them and immediately all the training started to click. Truly working wonders!

    Karsen is fantastic. She knows her dogs & does a great job with my hardheaded Aussie. My puppy loves her & Gypsy.

    Working with Bailey has been such a positive experience. Her understanding of the individual dog's behavior & instincts is amazing. Her perspective & approach helped me connect with my Belgian Malinois on a whole new level. I’ve always had rescue dogs but this breed is oh-so very different. I realized very quickly I was going to need help. He (Bronson) is extremely smart, driven & quick to test all boundaries. Since he was a rescue I needed help w/ socialization & correcting some *very* challenging behavior problems. Bailey helped with confidence and firmness before my pup could outsmart me. Her guidance has made such a difference. She has taught me how to handle & understand him & his unique needs. She’s very caring toward both the owner and the dog and she’s enlightened me on training techniques I didn’t even know existed. I’m beyond grateful for her knowledge, patience and dedication. My sweet baby boy Bronson & I are very appreciative. High recommendations!

    We completed our 2nd session with Bailey and couldn't be happier with the results so far. Our Owen is making excellent progress, and we feel confident we'll get over the reactivity hurdle soon.

    We’ve had the best experience with Dog Training Elite. Bailey is fantastic. She is dependable and knows exactly what to do with our pup. She is intentional with her time and has been a great help to us, the owners, as we continue her good work when she leaves. I know our dog is in the best hands with Bailey, and we totally trust her guidance. Two thumbs up!

    Had a great first visit. Buddy was a a little nervous but warmed up to them quickly. It was great to see how quickly he can learn good behaviors.

    Bailey is absolutely phenomenal. She has worked tirelessly with our Cane Corso Monocco and has transformed her into a well behaved baby. At only 5 months old she has learned so very much and I could not be more proud of all the progress and hard work Bailey has put into our girl!!

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.
