My Pit Bull/ Amercian Bully Atticus doing some of his tricks.

My dog Atticus, an American Bully (one of the breeds encompassed by the term Pit Bull, along with the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and Staffordshire Bull Terrier) showing off his tricks. Atticus is a super smart, loving, friendly dog, and a great example of how these breeds are misunderstood and mislabeled.

Richard Stratton has written the definitive books on the breed. Educate yourself and educating your dog will be incredibly fun and rewarding.

I got him from a breeder in Texas. To teach spin just lure him with a treat doing a little circle above his head. You can raise higher and higher when starts getting it. Its funny, when he was a puppy I took him to an obedience class and the trainer told me he was untrainable, so I decided to prove her wrong on my own. Read as many books as you can. About the breed and obedience in general. Ian Dunbar, Cesar Milan are good for obedience albeit with different approaches. Richard Stratton

Thank you for the compliment. To teach him not to jump was tough lol. He only jumps up on people he meets for the first time. I basically give the person a treat and have them calmlt put him in a sit. No attention or baby voices or anything like that. If he gets up or moves I have them turn their backs to him not give him any attention. Then put him in sit again, if he's good and stays he gets the treat and pets. Eventually they will start sitting for strangers. Usually Lol.

The only dangerous breed is the misinformed human.

@nadav64 Silly person. This dog is well trained and obedient. There is no reason to think he'll attack his owner. Stop feeding off of stereotypes and open your eyes. Look at the video and think. If this was any other breed you wouldn't dare say something like that. Why can't a well behaved dog just be a well behaved dog? Why must you put this pit bull dog into categories with abused aggressive pit bulls that attack people?

@mjfromga89 I grew up with a rottweiler and a german shepherd. When I was 15 I lived 2 years with a wolfhound and now I adopted a rednose pitbull. The only dog i've ever got bitten by are those fucking spoiled little ones that need to get burned alive...
