Chewing is a habit you have to catch from the beginning, with APBTs (American Pit Bull Terriers) its somethin your gonna have to accept about the breed, Anxiety, boredom,for pure enjoyment/entertainment they love to chew at anything. I suggest, especially with these extreme swelterin temperatures empty water bottles just fill em up w/ water freeze em overnight you got yourself an inexpensive treat that lasts for a good hour. Another cheap chewing tool you can make and pits love it is you go to any produce place and ask if they have any empty potato sacks. Get some electric tape or some kind of resistant tape and tape pieces around forming a rope, heavy duty durable and pennies to a dime dirt cheap. If you wanna buy them a chew toy go with thick rawhide bones, or them figure 8 chew toys my boys love those and it keeps them entertained. Excercise, excercise, and lots of excercise; a tired doggy is a happy doggy prevents expensive mistakes. Ive been raisin APBTS for a good 10 yrs and im still learning soo much about this breed. Just like the the homie BigE stated above socialize your baby, i have with all my dogs they might get overly excited to greet a stranger but thats what any loyal dog would do. Ive putten my dogs upclose to these so called game dogs in my area and it shows how much work i put into my dogs cause they wont go after them, they'll wanna play more than anything, put them in closed quarters tho and its a different story. I have my methods of training my dogs to bring out the best of the breed. Theres a few good books out there on APBTs and a magazine which focus's on bully breeds that comes out annually. Check out the UKC site and ADBA to learn more about your breed. I consider myself a APBT Ambassador and i strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with the breed cause theres gonna be a great amount of people with strong prejudice and its only fair to educate than to fight fire with fire. Check out books from Richard Stratton most of my methods comes from his experience with APBTs.........
