 Great Book August 16, 2007
Great book. This book is perfect for someone thinking about buying a APBT. Even a great book for someone who owns one. Good buy.
 Disapointed June 8, 2007

When I bought this book I was looking for various training techniques that have been sucessful for pit bulls. I figured a book called "How to train your american pit bull terrier" would be a perfect match for what I was looking for. The only thing I did find was a thin reference geared towards pit bulls with a tiny section reserved for training. Most of the training information consited of how to find a good trainer, not specific techniques. This book is very basic and vague and I was quite disapointed.

Unfortunately, this book wasn't what I expected it to be. I have a puppy that's rambunctious, loud, stubborn and playful... I needed help learning training techniques that would help me keep me under a little more control.
What I got from this book was a lot of common sense put down in book form.
Sure, if your first dog EVER is a pitbull, this book might be helpful. However, as a person who's owned and been around dogs all of her life, the techniques and proceedures in this book are so basic as to be absurd when included in this book.
There were perhaps one or two points in the whole of the text that taught me anything, and then they weren't anything to do with obedience training.
Telling the reader to take his/her dog to obedience class was not what I was looking for in a book.
In short, the book is lacking.
It might be useful to a novice, but not to an experienced dog owner.

This book describes only puppies who are "fearful" - afraid of a leash, afraid of your absence, etc. etc. Most of the pit bull puppies I know are rambunctious and self-assured. There are no helpful tips for training those puppies.Also, the author says that if you have a full time job, you shouldn't adopt a pit bull. Most of the dogs in local shelters are put to death, and pit bulls, as well as pit bull mixed, are quite common in this state. If you have a fenced yard and will spend time, effort, and money to lovingly raise a dog, then I say go ahead & adopt one. They have barrels of energy, but are very loving animals and deserve a chance.

Well, i have a bull terrier, but i didn't find a book like this to raise and train my dog, however this book had been a great purchase because these breeds are very similar in their behaviors.
so if you have a pitbull or bully, just buy it.
