Here is what is happening with pit bulls used by law enforcement.
The dogs are cherry picked from shelters by Animal Farm Foundation (extreme pit bull advocacy with unlimited funds). The dogs receive a few weeks of training by a professional paid by AFF, The dogs are then given, free of charge, to cash-strapped police departments.
Cities that can afford better, obtain bred-for-task dogs, frequently bred and trained in Europe. The traditional police dog has already been extensively trained before it even gets on the plane and gets another 14 weeks training with the new handler in the United States.
AFF pit bull is a stray with no known history, back-yard bred, with 4 weeks training in Texas prior to placement. AFF uses the placement of these dogs for publicity. If you read the press releases on these placements you find that AFF dog will have very limited use BUT will serve as a "breed ambassador."
If you look at demographics for cities accepting these dogs, the communities are poor, very low household incomes. They are also small, some have under a thousand residents.

“Thus it is safe to say this pit bull will be “tracking missing persons” just like the average husband will be sewing curtains for the guest room after he mops and waxes the kitchen floor.”
Oh man, you just described me. I’m sad now.
Cool video. Amazing dogs.
But they need training and a job otherwise they go a bit nuts.
Yes, interestingly enough, I have seen this video, and the feats impress me, of course.
The pit bull dog has much the same agility, and even more strength.
What a pity it has been bred to kill instead.
Here is a 40- second video of a pit bull climbing a chain link fence.

two Pit Bulls and drive three others off of an attack on a two year old boy who was staying with his aunt when the dogs - her pets - attacked him and the aunt - the boy died in a hospital shortly after the rescue - there might be a clue there.....

But these weren’t Cop Pit Bulls!
Yes, the working principles are very similar. The mental image is very amusing.
I'm the dog's huckleberry for now. Please feel free to join me in denouncing these trash threads.
Parents would tell Ursula, “My child is (blah blah blah),” or “She won’t (blah blah blah),” and Ursula would say, “It will be fine,” and all the “difficult” children would end up like well-socialized puppies.
I have not checked recently. I do hope so. I doubt it.
I believe that this blogspot has or had something on the subject, but am not looking this evening.

“Oh man, you just described me. I’m sad now.”
Take heart, my friend. I am sure that your wife values you highly, and shows her appreciation frequently in an appropriate manner.
I admire this lady from your description of her.
It is perhaps too bad that more dog trainers do not open schools for parent training as well as owner training, is it not?

Thank you. I have been called worse.
She was a dear. We had daughters the same age, who are now 20 or so, and she had an older daughter from her first marriage who would “mother’s help” for me sometimes. For example, her daughter would go with me to my dance class and rock my infant while I danced.
Animal training techniques can be of use to parents, but one doesn’t want to go overboard. A human child had more individual drive than a puppy ... although puppies go their own way, too, and they’re not all suited for police work.
So do basset hounds and teacup poodles....
Fascinating. A lesson well learned.
I have enjoyed the black GSDs I have met. Very beautiful and smart dogs, and one of them had a similar mannerism regarding strangers. He would however, come and ask for attention under the table, literally.
Pit Bulls are furry sharks with four legs. ALL owners of these killing machines are complete idiots. When these satanic bundles of mayhem do what they do, the owners should be criminally held responsible to a sentence up to second degree murder.
You have no idea what you’re talking about.
