Bully breeds come in all sizes and colors. Bully breeds are very powerful, brave, and loyal. Based on these qualities some people bred them, and will continue to do so, for inhumane purposes like dog fighting or solely for protection.

As with any breed, if treated with neglect or abuse they will start to develop behavioral issues. Every dog is different and has the possibility of developing the same issues, so we don’t blame the breed.

Behavioral issues associated with bully breeds:

• Excessive barking
• Dominance
• Possessiveness
• Chasing – High Prey Drive
• Dog/People Aggression

At Pawsitive Behavior we believe that every dog is train-a-bull, especially bully breeds who often have a bad reputation based on their past. Adopting such breeds can often have the owner constantly defending their dog against stereotypes.

By partnering with shelters and rescues we can define new standards for bully breeds. With training, these breeds can be very loving, loyal, and caring dogs.

Train-A-Bull 

Pawsitive Behavior will assist shelters by offering private training to bully breeds who need the most behavior modification for a low cost. Once they are adopted the owners will receive whatever supplies were included during training. There will be no additional cost added to the adoption fee.

Requirements:

Evaluation and temperament test.
• Pawsitive Behavior will supply treats, toys, and training supplies.
• The shelter/rescue will supply vaccinations and medication if needed.
