Good read ^_^ A dog is a dog is a dog. Theres nothing mystical about a pit bull, other than the press release. pit bulls are incredibly tenacious. Once they are fixed on a target, they are all but impossible to distract. The Economist suggests that this is due to the dogs insensitivity to pain. (oliver is the hardest thing to budge when he has his eye on my hamster 0_o) The more driven a dog is to do things like chase -- the better its hunger -- the easier it is to teach. Pain is irrelevant: We dont have to rely on pain to teach a dog something. In fact, that is rarely helpful.
