The American pitbull terrier is truly mans best friend

Yes, there has been bad press associated with these dogs, but what you need to remember is that bad attitude and a mean disposition is something that ANY dog is taught. It does not come naturally.
These pitbulls are very intelligent, loyal and eager to please. They can coexist with young children and other animals, with no problem. In fact, they are typically protective of their young housemates.
Pitbull puppies are usually a better option when it comes choosing a dog who will be living with other animals or children. They are more tolerant and not set in their ways, it is that of older dogs.
Taking a new puppy to the park or other public facility is an excellent way to allow him to socialize with strangers and to body with his new family, as well.
Pitbulls are wonderful companions, especially for those who love the outdoors. They are very active and love to take long walks or even go hiking in the mountains. Some pits have been known to love the hunt.
Even though these dogs are very energetic they are suitable for apartment living. As long as they receive adequate exercise, smaller living quarters should not be a problem. A walk around the block, several days each week, is beneficial to both dog and master.
Pitbulls have been used as therapy dogs, for many years. In fact, Helen Keller's most faithful companion was a pitbull. They adapt well to this sort of work because they have a high tolerance to pain and in even temperament, when properly trained.

Pitbull Training
By Kent Pinkerton
The most troublesome and boring aspect of owning a pet pit bull according to most owners is training. Though boring, early obedience training for pit bulls is very essential, otherwise they may become disobedient and even aggressive. A poorly bred pit bull is often a danger to the people around it. Also, it is necessary to teach housebreaking to a pit bull when it is still a puppy.

The first thing that a pit bull needs to be trained in is housebreaking. Pit bull puppies have weak bladders, which they may need to eliminate almost every hour. Have specific meal times for the puppy and then take it out. Over time, puppies will begin to recognize this place by its smell. It's no fun to be woken in the middle of a night by a puppy whining to go potty, but it takes endurance in the first few months. As pit bulls grow older, their bladder control improves, but it will be a while before they can hold their bladders overnight. Another method is paper training, where newspaper can be spread at spots within the house. However, paper training is not good as it gives the pit bull the idea that it is okay to poop inside the house.
Pitbulls are athletic dogs and so they need stamina and strength training. The most common way to teach almost all dogs is by drive and tracking. A ball and string can be used for this. Show the ball to the pit bull until its curiosity is aroused and then roll the ball on the floor, away from the pit bull. The pit bull will begin chasing after it. Using this tactic, several tricks can be taught to the pit bull.
Pit bulls are intelligent dogs. They respond to commands. Pit bulls can be trained to understand commands such as 'go', 'fetch', 'heel' and they also recall to their names. Repeating the commands over and over helps the dog to learn faster. Such obedience training must not be taken lightly as it may sometimes be a lifesaver to the dog.
Training a dog requires patience and affection on the part of the trainer. Pit bulls are sensitive and they should never be hit or yelled at when training. This may have an adverse effect and they may not respond to training at all. They may also fight back and nip or bite people. A slight reprimand, with a strong 'No' is enough to make a pit bull stop any undesirable activity. It is important to be consistent in pit bull training. If you train a pit bull for a couple of days and then decide to take a break, then the whole thing is going to be a worthless affair.
However, there are many ways in which pit bull training can be made exciting to both dog and owner. The training also provides some exercise to the owner and goes a long way in making the dog a trustworthy and able companion.
