actually i've grown up around a pit, never beat it and i have no problem with getting him to do what i want him to do...

i also picked one up off the street once, never got mean or agressive at it either...



all that beating and showing who's the boss crap went out the window a few years ago... there's no reason to do it, it's infact detremental, not helpful.... just cuz you think you know how to raise them doesn't mean you do... i hope he bites your balls off to be honest.

eitherway, raise him the way you want, but guess what? lawsuits are also a thing of the past, states are starting to pass bills that you'll face prison time (long time too, not just a couple years) if your dog kills someone (possibly even severely injure someone)
