The Unique Nature of Man's Best Friend: Rehabilitated Pitbulls (VHS Video) by C.W. Meisterfeld and Lisa Scherer

This video helps destroy the myth that American Pitbull terriers are highly dangerous animals and cannot be trusted, particularly with children. Lisa Scherer, a graduate of Meisterfeld's school, demonstrates how Pitbulls (rescued from her local humane society) who were formerly trained to fight, can be reprogrammed to become non-aggressive pets. Lisa shows you the commands and principles that transform the dogs into adoptable family pets that are 100% safe around children. With the Meisterfeld training philosophy, these Pitbulls lost their aggressiveness to the point they will not harm strange animals that accidentally trespass on their territory.

All this was accomplished without any form of negative reinforcement, prong collars, or drugs!

Yeah and right after you buy that video I have some "great" swamp land in Florida and I own a Bridge in San Fran, that i need to get rid of.

I am sorry, I am all for the trianing but a good pit bull is 100% safe around children in the first place. There is no way to train dog aggression away, there is no magic step-by-step. Proper socialization and training make the impulse controllable but by no means will it totally disappear, especially in a dog that actually competed. They dont even do dog-dog tests when they are trying to adopt them out on animal planet. they dont expect an ex-fighter to rehabilitate to that degree. they test for people friendly and food-aggression the main problems, they do children and some private shelters try other dogs but more often than not ex-fighters go to single pet homes.

Good Lord!!! Where are you finding this crap??!!

Hey I'm all for this reprogramming thing! I want in!
I want to reprogram Jesse so that he will run the vacuum and dust the furniture.
I want to reprogram Brittany so she will wash the dishes and mop the floors.
I want to reprogram Candy so she will mow the lawn and pull all the weeds.
Where can I get this video? I'll pay good money for this!

what's sad is people are going to buy this tape, think they're pit is going to be non-aggressive, and possibly get into some unpleasant situations. if people are looking for a dog that is going to be non-aggressive, they shouldn't get a pit in the first place. sure you may end up with one that isn't, but there's nooo garuntee.

This is bullshit!!! NO DOG can be considered in any situation as 100%safe. Dogs are animals!!! You cannot train a dog to be "100% safe", even in the best natured dogs things can, and do, go wrong.
Just wait, in a couple of months we will see this woman in the news with a big lawsuit slapped on her arse.

NEVER trust a bulldog not to fight! Even if it wasn't bred specifically for it.

[Aroura]

Oh and I would also like to point out, people like this are out to make MONEY!!! They will only say what you want to believe and what is going to sell their product. As soon as I see a non profit study on thousands of Pits that shows a way to curb their dog aggression I wont beleive a word I hear :nono: (which is never going to happen anyway because all the training in the world wont stop a naturally aggressive dog from being aggressive, the best it can hope to do is train a dog to IGNORE the types of things it would usually show aggression towards, but common sence and common knowledge tells me that!!!!)

the alpha situation different though. aggression due to pack order is completely alterable, if you let your dog gain power as the alpha that is your own doing. I personally dont understand how it happens, but then again i ave always had dogs. You dont let the dog control things, its just crazy to have a dog that you are scared of. Any human is alpha over a dog, man, woman, or child dogs are not allowed to excersice control.

With the APBT dog aggression is a nautral unavoidable occurance in the breed, if its going to happen it will, no matter what you do. If not great but dont think that it was because of some magic step you took along the way. Your responsibility to the breed is to socialize and train your dog and in the event of dog-aggression you dont turn your back on him/her. SOme people have actually had thier dogs euthanized because of it, or give them to shelters or to less than scrupulous owners. You can keep it controlled and manageable. If a dog doesnt want to play nice with other dogs you cant make it, but that doesnt mean he is any less a great pet or family companion.

Lets not lable dog-aggression as a "bad" thing. Its just one of those things like shedding white fur on the black couch. you know you cant stop it, so you make certain changes (frequent grooming or buy white furniture)to make it not as bad.

This "program" may work with other breeds but I would bet just about anything it wont work on APBTs. AND, wasnt the topic of this thread "How to re-program your Pit from being Dog Aggressive.... "?
$439?!!! Thats crazy. I wonder what you get when you try to bring another animal around your APBT and he kills it?

Lisa shows you the commands and principles that transform the dogs into adoptable family pets that are 100% safe around children.

Agree with what Aroura said about this. ALSO, they are saying "fighting" dogs arent reliable/safe around people. They are more reliable around people than any other breed, including APBTs not bred for gameness. These people are selling a BS video to teach your dog one thing he already knows, which is not to be aggressive towards people, and trying to teach him something that can never be changed which is to not be dog aggressive. What a pile of crap!!!
THE BIG GUEST, this post didnt prove anything but your vulnerablity to BS.

I totally agree R&P!!

To use a different analogy; we have a sports car that will stop on a 10 cent piece, so I admit I sometimes drive a little fast. Though because I know it handles and stops so well I am always in 100% control. However when I drive my boyfriend’s parent's 4WD which is a 2 tonne hunk of metal that takes A LOT longer to stop I drive soooo much slower.

If you have two cars with different capabilities you drive them both differently so I don’t understand why it should be any different with dogs. When you have breeds of dogs that all have different traits you just need to limit yourself to activities that are suited to your particular breed. Just because Johnny does something with his breed A, doesn't necessarily mean you can or should do the same thing with your breed B.

I think one of the biggest problems is people not doing their research BEFORE they decide on the breed of dog they get (they just seem to pick the cutest puppy) and then get surprised when their dog shows a trait that the breed is renowned for.

thank you Rott!!

training a Pit out of people aggression is relatively easy, you just show them that most people are NOT BAD. They are people-orientated dogs anyway. They are known as good family pets, and can be easily swayed from aggression towards people, since they dont want to be aggressive towards people anywy. You CANT sway them from being animal aggressive, it's "in their blood". If you want to keep a Pit, you have to realize that the potential for animal aggression is always there. It doesnt mean they are bad "house pets"' they just shouldnt be allowed free access to other dogs without being on a lead.
