Victoria was joined by Amy Ciontos and her pit bull Lennox to discuss this weekend's Atlanta premiere of Beyond the Myth - a powerful film about the dangers of breed-specific legislation.
Everyone knows I use positive reinforcement in my dog training. You’re probably sick of hearing me go on about it. But an issue that comes up more frequently than you might think is the idea of using positive reinforcement in the human side of dog training – and let’s be honest, the human aspect is the biggest part. The dogs are usually pretty easy – it’s the humans that need the most help!

I have a 2 year old American pit bull her name is Babi and she is just the sweetest dog in the world. I also have 5 children and a 10 month old grandson and she is just the greatest with them. My kids age range from 8 to 18. My Babi loves all of my children. I just thanks god for sending me such an amazing companion. Please help our pit bulls because life wouldn't be the same without my Babi. please email me if I could help in anyway.
sincerely

as already said its man that gives a pitbull a bad rep.I condone the shortsightness of many officials to ban this breed.they should ban the owners not the dog or better put the owner down with the dog.

Absolutely a perfect PERFECT ambassador for this breed. I must say, BSL is like racism for dogs. It would be like saying 'No more people of certain races are allowed in this country anymore.", taking them from their homes, and killing them. It's not right, it's immoral, and just plain rude. My family owns a pit bull themselves, and there isn't a dog I would trust around the kids.
