    I love the underlining of this website “Dogs for smart people”. SO TRUE. If you are not aware of the dog….of the regulations….of policies….of general breed behavior…you SHOULD NOT OWN A PIT! Too many ‘bad press’ issues arise b/c the owners get the dog to be a “Pit” by looks…but do not take the time to know the breed and qualities of the dog…then wonder why with no training…and no collars…there are news stories of “DANGEROUS BREED: PIT BULL”….ugh. it makes me fume on the inside :/

    Ha. I laugh when I see the ‘slow down’ doggy dishes. My pit Dayse-Mae scarfs her food down in less than five seconds. Swallows everything without a breath. I tried the dishes….didn’t work at all. I had gotten to the point where I was really worried. She could have gotten a ‘flipped stomach’ (for short terms) and been in a lot of pain….it scared me and everything I got did not work. I was going to home make a special dish….but my husband came up with a WONDERFUL idea. I now put a cup of whole ice cubes in her dish. She HAS to chew the ice…and it slows her consumption of the food. AMAZING….and FREE!

    I did train my pits to ‘watch’ me as I set their food dishes down, and they are not allowed to eat until I saw “go eat” …. this has prevented the food aggression….and they focus on me…not the food….

    I have heard about the deer antlers. I HAVE to try those! My pits LOVE the solid bones I buy @ PetsMart. I don’t get the ones with fillers….too messy. They last FOREVER! I have EXTREME chewers…and these are the only chews/bones/toys that have satisfied their need to chew and they are only about 4$. They are sold individually….but WELL WORTH IT!

    I will say that our Kong toy lasted the longest, but not long enough for me 🙂 I had to return a “DogZilla” toy I got at walmart that was suppose to be ‘equal’ to a Kong, but my girls pulled off a piece of the toy within 2 minutes. I have a fabric Frisbee that is AMAZING! My pups love to run and grab it and then chomp chomp chomp. The plastic Frisbees last one afternoon, and the fabric one has lasted weeks! I haven’t tried the Kong Frisbee…but I would rather spend 3$ on a fabric one at walmart than 10$+ on a Kong one.
