Why not on Pitbulls? That's the gift I want to buy for my son's girlfriend's dog. He pulls her around the neighborhood!

Who says "no pitbulls"? I used this training on many breeds and pitbulls are still canines, with canine behavior. These methods work on all dogs. That being said, this training is just that, a consistent practice to be applied till you reach that trust zone with your dog. When you go to choose a puppy look for the one with a calm disposition because a dog with lessof a will will be easier and quicker to train. Also, start the training right away, pups are smart enough to learn from mother and that is the role whoever gets the dog to take over. Good luck!

Don Sullivan's course can work on any dog breed. If you have the course, you will see that. It amazed me that his technique worked on a 8 week old puppy too. I wouldn't hesitate to get this course. What I love is that the training does not include treats....only love and praise. Our 11 month old Labrador Retriever now will sit and down with hand signals alone. No more counter surfing too! I can walk her without a leash. I can put her on stay at the park with 25 kindergartners playing and taunting her and she will not move. I can hear the door bell, tell her to sit and stay and she does and doesn't jump up on company, but sits on stay and wags her tail until I release her. She doesn't jump up on anyone, she retrieves like a champ at the dog park, is good with other dogs and very loving. Do it now! Pitbulls get a bad rap....start the program early as possible and they will have a loving, wonderful pet.

I agree that dogs need comfort too. I have three dogs and my largest is 60 lbs. she has bad joints. I have cut up an old topper into squares and put a blanket over it for her. It was a popular bed with all three of my dogs. Only problem is she's a chewer, even at 8 years old, so she pawed the blanket back and chewed apart the topper. If your dog isn't a chewer I think it would appreciate the topper.

Hi Patsy, My Tiki is a voracious chewer. He is a German Shepard mix and has a really strong bite. Every dog will have a little different experience with this toy but I would wholeheartedly endorse this toy for your dog. Simply order the largest size BLACK BALL that they offer. Eventually your Pit will win but Ours lasts around THREE MONTHS. Failing that a small car tire might work well :o}. ( I had a Great Dane that played with old tires from a 60's era VW BEETLE)

No, but I don't know that I would. The bike tow leash is amazing! I have a huge German Shepard who has tried every kind of scary behavior while attached to the bike two leash, like chasing other dogs...and this two leash has always kept us both very safe. I feel very little of my GSD's pulls and outbursts. I'm not afraid to take her anywhere on the bike tow leash.

my 12 week old cow-dog mix puppy is nuts about it, although he is also pretty hard on it. But he can tilt it and make the ball move, then pounce on the ball etc. However....maybe only little crazy puppies would be interested.

I have a boxer pit mix and it didn't work for him at all. I would have to say no. St Bernards are bigger and need strength and this didn't effect my dog in any way. A butter spray bottle works better for my dog. I would have to say, don't waste your money on this item. Firm voice and maybe some private lessons.

My dog and I were both attached a couple of times. I have a small dog so I picked her up and sprayed the other dog, he retreated and I got away. The sad part about this was that the owner of the dog pretended not to see the attack and ran inside his house leaving his dog in the middle of the street. I wish I had the chance to pepper spray the owner too ;) But yes, it's safe just keep yourself and your dog away.

I have a 75 lb dog that looks a bit like a german shepherd. We live in an urban setting with everything from sidewalks to gravel. We use the booty to cover his bandaged paw and depending on how long he is out and how much he plays and chases the boots last between 1 and 3 outings before there are minor holes. I was looking at a Great Dane in the dog park today and comparing their feet size... I have a hard time picturing one of these fitting on a Great Dane but others have said they do.

I sent mine back as the range was too short and the batteries don't last very long. I bought another Sport Dog model (can't remember which one) that has a longer range and can be recharged. A little more expensive but a much better unit and works really well. It will certainly get her attention and it does not take very long to change behaviour.

You may have to buy a smaller one first. I got my girl started on it when she was a little over 3 months and her pulling skills were developing :)

My dog is heavy (120 lbs) and about 8-9 years old. She loved jumping over the bar, but it made her arthritis worse. I read (later) that overweight dogs shouldn't do that. I didn't try any of the other stuff and I'm not sure how tall Leah is so I can't really answer for the rest of the stuff. I gave the set to a friend with a smaller dog and her dog loved it all and even slept inside the tube.

Not sure what your question is but I would reccomend this dog pack to anyone. I believe it would fit a pitbull also. Jackson see's me getting his pack out and gets all excited knowing he's going on an outing. He'll go sit by the front door & wait patiently. An excellent purchase on my part!

Not me, but my dog is more of a claw-er and less of a chewer. It seems pretty sturdy to me, I would be super impressed if your dog chewed out. My neighbor has the same one for his pitbull (who tore out a giant chunk of drywall) and it's withstood her tendency to destroy things.

Oh please, c'mon...uh, sure! Just douse your two-year-old in chum and stuff 'em in there--your pit bull will get in there, no problem. Just make sure junior's arms aren't sticking out, pittie might chew 'em off and just stop there.

I didn't purchase this, my daughter did. You guys keep mixing our accounts up. I'll review the Rottweiler books I just purchased. Thanks

What breed are your puppies and how old are they? If you can tell me that I can help you out a little better. I bought a large because we have a Cane Corso which is related to the mastiff breed and honesty I could of bought an extra large and it would of been better for her.
