Pitbulls get a lot of bad reputation because some people raise them as fight dogs. But, are innocent puppies just as aggressive as fully grown ones? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pitbull puppies are not naturally aggressive. They are more stubborn than other dogs, and they are strong, but it all comes down to training. If the owner trains the dog to be violent, they will be violent. If the owner raises them to be nice and cuddly, they will be. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to know more about pitbulls and aggression, why they have such a poor reputation, and how to train your puppy to be the perfect family dog, read on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned, pitbulls have a bad reputation<\/a> when it comes to aggressiveness. However, how much of it is actually true? <\/p>\n\n\n\n For one, a pitbull is not a breed. It\u2019s simply a term we use to cover a broad range of dogs like American Staffordshire terrier, American pitbull terrier, American Staffordshire bull terrier, and many mixed breeds that look like a pitbull. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The term pitbull is not very accurate, but most people can\u2019t tell the difference between these breeds, so it stuck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n All of these breeds were raised to be fighters. They were commonly used for entertainment purposes. Early records show that they were fighting with other animals at first before people developed dog fights as we know them today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, dog fights are now illegal, but they are still a looming danger for any breed that resembles a pitbull. They are used because they have a strong, athletic frame, strong jaw and sharp teeth, and their attacking style. When a pitbull attacks, they bite and shake, injuring their victims’ flesh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But the fact is that pitbulls are the true victims in this story. Just like any other breed, they are born a blank slate, with a bit more stubbornness than some other breeds have. Then when a wrong person gets ahold of them, they suffer abuse and rigorous training to become fighters. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPit Bulls and Aggression<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
