How do pitbull owners help change the image of the pitbull?

I’m part of a pitbull club in my area and one of the central themes is “redefining the image.” Some members often disagree about putting spiked collars on the dogs or displaying the dogs using large chains while involved in public events. I believe if the pitbulls image is going to be changed societies opinion and views are very important. I would also like any opinions on what other methods could we use to improve or change this image.

Be on top of the training, constantly. I’m paraphrasing a quote I read, but your dog can’t be as good as all the other dogs, s/he has to be BETTER. I took mine to a professional trainer who gave me some valuable tips. She responds extremely well to me. People do back up at first when they see her but when they realize how sweet and well behaved she is they warm up immediately. I call her my PitBull ambassador.

With regard to getting the word out, it’s not hard if you know where to look. Pits are drug dogs, rescue dogs, volunteer dogs, and aid dogs. Find as many as you can and put their image out. It’s all about propaganda. Pit bulls got a bad rap from it, they can get thier good rap back the same way.

Did you know the Lil Rascals dog is/was a pit? And Teddy Roosevelt’s family dog. I show people those images as often as I can
