I love the pits and the staffies......just won't have them while I have so many other animals.....but then again I'm not a dog trainer. I had one pit i couldn't do a THING with.....hired a trainer who rolled in and had her doing back flips on command in no time.....never raised a hand to her either. I was NEVER able to train dogs like that so am impressed by those who can. (Ps...within a month she back to normal....needed him around to STAY trained because I just dont KNOW what I'm doing with that stuff.....)
