It is more than proven now that Pit Bulls are not at all dangerous if they are taken care of and treated properly. But despite all the proves the people still fear them for some reason. For example did you knew that Pit Bulls are banned from certain cities. Lucky there are many organization that organize program to prove that they deserve our love and compassion like any other dog breed does.
One of these programs is to help training Pit Bulls to be police dogs. Many police departments are not spending thousands of dollars to buy trained German Shepherds or Belgian. They are taking out Pit Bulls from animal shelters to train instead.
Doing so Pit Bulls are given a home and with the proper training they are able to do anything you ask because they tend to be very obedient as a breed. That is why we can totally see them as police dogs.
They are proving more and more that are an excellent choice to have on your side in the military or police K9s. During their training they learn about everything, from arson detection, explosives to narcotics and criminal apprehension.
Specialist at K9s confirm that any dog that has the confidence, is driven and has the desire to work can become a successful police dog.
Up to know Pit Bulls have been introduced in several police departments such as in New York, Georgia, Washougal, Chattahoochee Hills and Poughkeepsie.
The dog trainers in the police departments so far are confident and say that the dogs are perfect for training. The only big issue is getting the dogs show aggression toward people.
