Tyler....I've never heard that shit about takin food out of a dog's mouth to make it less territorial...I wouldn't suggest it.Food to dogs is like people with money.Just remember that when you're correcting your dog,use a really firm tone of voice...and if you have to hit it,use a rolled up newspaper or something-it's not the pain that they react to,it's the noise.Pitbulls are fucking tanks,beating them doesn't solve shit,you just wanna scare em.
on a side note,about that pitbulls as status symbols thing,it's so true...I live in the south,and it seems like EVERYBODY's fuckin got one.That's cool and all,but what I hate is the fucking pitbull elitists.My dog Sluggo is a mutt-pit/rottweiler/boxer and this fucking bitch called him a MONGREL the other day....I was pissed...Anyway,this is actually a topic I know something about so if you have any more questions fire away.
