About this product

Product Information

Pit Bulls have an image problem. If you've never been around Pit Bulls, you may think they are bloodthirsty man-eaters on the prowl for their next meal. If you've lived with one you know they are, indeed, on the prowl for their next meal - but they plan to get it by conning you out of your meal by doing something irresistibly cute! A breed of satin and steel, Pit Bulls are a mixture of softness and strength, an uncanny canine combination of fun, foolishness, and serious business. If you think Pit Bulls should be purged from the face of the earth, Pit Bulls For Dummies will enlighten you. Perhaps you're curious about this breed and want to know what Pit Bulls are really like; if so, this book is for you. Who else needs this handy reference? Smart people who realize that all breeds have good and bad points New (and not so new) owners who need help with training Owners looking for just the right veterinarian Potential owners looking to adopt from a breed-rescue group Pit Bull owners who need help identifying Pit Bull health problems Too many dog care books are filled with unrealistic scare tactics that would cause anyone to just give up, while others are filled with hand-me-down dog lore that has no basis in reality. You won't find any of that in Pit Bulls For Dummies. Here's a sampling of the handy information you'll find in this essential guide: Understanding the Pit Bull's origins and characteristics Caring for a puppy or older Pit Bull Keeping your dog healthy with diet and exercise Dealing with bad behavior: Biting, barking, jumping, and more Training your Pit Bull in the basics such as sit, stay, heel, and come Understanding Pit Bull body language Helping your dog become a social animal Owning a Pit Bull isn't easy, but that's not because of the dogs. A special commitment to the breed and a special dog owner are needed. Pit Bulls are pretty special dogs, and they have to prove it every day.

Beyond great price. The media itself (CDs) were in NM (near mint) condition. Packaging was in fair condition, so stating Good in the description was reasonable if not downplaying the media itself. Nothing to complain about. Shipping was free and arrived exactly a week later (5 business days). Would definitely recommend and do business with seller again! A++

SecondSalecom is one of my go to sellers, because they have a large selection and I can usually find the book or movie that I want from them at a low price if not the lowest price on eBay. Also, when I buy three books/movies I get a fourth book/movie free. Shipping is also free. This was a great transaction. The DVD was packaged well, shipped promptly and is just as described. I will be back to buy again. Thank you!!

  • Good book, well written.

    Like all written for Dummies books, this one is an easy read. Well balanced describing the good things and bad things about owning a pitbull. Like the fact that the author makes a genuine attempt to describe the issues involved with owning such a stong minded dog. Pitbulls are very loyal loving animals and ours gets along with everything she encounters but I suspect if her (or any dogs) upbringing had been neglected that might have been a different story. good book!

  • Good Read

    Great humor, if you've ever had a pit some of the phrases are hilarious..only because you have endured it with love..."A pit bull puppy is like a super baby. Imagine a baby who can run faster than and adult, jump his own height, and chew through wires"..so true. and "A pit bull who's running amuck in your home is a mobile set of barracuda teeth set on auto chew, powered by four mud-tracking pistons, and armed with a variety of orifices prone to randomly squirt out assorted yuck when you least expect it". All worth it though, these bullies are simply the sweetest dogs that will give you ten times the love back that you give them.

  • Pit Bulls for Dummies

    This book is very easy to read and very informative. If you need help training your dog this is a very good book. It is very easy reading and has clear step by step instructions on what you need to do to have a well trained dog. I would recommend it to anyone that wants their pet to have manners. It has information on picking the right pit for you to how to care and train your dog. It also has first aid and how to care for your pit as it ages. It is a great book.

  • A must read, great pics and wonderfully detailed info!

    I recently rescued an adult pitbull so I thought the book and any other info/ training was a must! I love the book becasue it does tap into rescuing an adult pit as well as paying tons of money for a pup. A pitbull is a serious responsibility to take on and this book explains that in great detail, very specific on all the issues! A must read, dont care who you are!

  • awesome pitbull guide

    This book was really helpful. I suggest it to any new pitbull owner, or anyone even looking to own a pitbull. It starts out by weeding out anyone who wants a pitbull, but isnt ready for one or just doesnt have the appropriate lifestyle. It gives back story on pitts and why they are viewed in our society the way they are. It prepares you for a life with this kind of dog. Then, once youve decided your ready for one, it helps you find where to buy one or adopt. Once you have your pitt it walks you through tips on how to raise your dog to be a part of society and your family. I know my reveiw sucks, but i was just trying to fill the 100 word minimum. This is a really awesome book, and if you have never owned a dog, especially a pitbull, it's a must own!
