First, there are many differences between a pitbull obedience class instructor and a pitbull trainer.

Another important thing that you should keep in mind about pitbull obedience class is that there will be several DOGS and owners there.

If you do decide to take your pitbull to obedience classes, be sure to do some research first. There are a few things to consider. You'll want to find a class that is held on days and times that fit your schedule, first of all. Also, you may want to find a class that is specifically for pitbulls that are the same size or age as yours. A small pitbull might not benefit from a class where the other DOGS are larger, just as a large DOG may not benefit from a class full of small DOGS.



The role of Toto, the male dog in the Wizard of Oz was actually played by a female Cairn Terrier named Terry. Cairn terriers are known for their brightness and cuteness. That, combined with their small size, made the breed perfect for the role.


When you think you've found a class, meet with the instructor. Don't be afraid to ask questions and, if possible, observe a class or two before enrolling. You may also want to ask the instructor if your entire family is welcome in the class. If space permits, most good instructors will not only agree to that, they'll usually recommend it.
