Are pit bulls dangerous to have around kids ?
If they are trained the right way ?
Yup any dog can be dangerous even if it’s trained .. it doesn’t matter trained or not they can bite an attack at any moment they feel like ... I’ve seen trained dogs bite their family in the face or legs.. anything can turn on u at any moment
Any animal is a potential danger to anyone!
Any dog can potentially be dangerous to children! Just depends how the dog was raised!! But I love Pitts❤️❤️
I've had pits all of my life, they have all been the best pets!! So gentle. If u raise it to be a loving animal, it will be.
Pit bulls used to be bred as a "nanny" dog because of their gentleness and loving behavior. People turned them mean because they look aggressive and dangerous but in reality pitties are a great dog.
Well yes and no at the same time lol they can bite just like any other dog only diffence is they can lock their jaws and cause extra harm I do believe if they wanted to
I've only ever met amazing loveable put bulls that are great with kids. Dogs are only what they are taught if they are taught to be gentle and love then they will be gentle and loving! I don't buy into this aggressive breeds bs
My pit bull never bit anyone my grandmas chihuahua had to be put to sleep for biting kids
Anydog could be dangerous around kids if not trained right the best dog I ever owned was a pit
It's not just pits. Any dog or animal could turn at any moment.
I have Pit bull Rottweiler mix dogs and they love my kids my son pulled on them and they still didn’t try and hurt them they love to play with my kids and the girl always has to be right by them like she’s there mom 😂
Should I get a girl or boy ? I think imma just try and teach all three to be gentle
@mamaof2soon, I like girl dogs better think they listen better and are more gentle my boyfriend got a boy and girl they both are good with my kids
I think a chihuahua (which we have, lol) could be just as dangerous.
I’m a firm believer in teaching the kids as much, if not more, than the pups.
Not grabbing, sitting on, pulling, ect.
We had boxers growing up and they were phenomenal doggies for kids. My grandma has two pits and they were just so sweet and cuddly. It all just depends on the owner. I would say wait until your little one is older - only out of full respect to the pup. ☺️

Any animal has potential to be dangerous. Some can come down to genetics. I have a dog with two different bully breeds in her along with two other dog breeds. She's a good dog. She is a bit hyper, as she is still quite young, but she is well behaved. We also took and take time to work with her. Work with your child on what is and isn't okay with an animal and also work with the dog. All of our dogs, regardless of gbeed, have been wonderful with the children and we teach the children what isn't okay with the dogs. I.E sitting on them, getting in their faces, pulling on them, and knowing when to leave them be.
If your son is rough you will need to teach him boundaries. Even the most patient dog has his breaking point. You don't want a kid jumping, rough housing, or being in a dogs face. Both pups and kids need to learn boundaries. How old is your son?
@mamaof2soon 😬 maybe start with a fish lol.
@bodybycheetos, tried and it died lol
I had a cat but she was pissing every where after I gave birth and it was horrible !!!
Yea they can be great family dogs. Training for any breed is necessary. I’d say before getting any breed of dog do your research. Make sure u know how to train the dog before getting to
Everything depends on the upbringing that you give.i 'll tell you the blogger to see- Senya Miro in you tube.they have 2 pit bulls.i have never seen the dogs smarter than these.
I think ANY dog or animal is dangerous or has the potential to be .
Always supervise your children and pets.
Ive only been around very sweet ones. If trained the right way I don't think they are dangerous around kids.
@mamaof2soon I don't think so but it's important to watch your kids around any animals you have. Try to teach your son to be more easy.
@householdceo, like he’s a boy no so much touch but he like to play wild etc , he’s like that with my daughter smh lol
@mamaof2soon If you get a dog you definitely need to train the dog and teach your son right from wrong and supervise them. Boys can be rough.
I think a chihuahua (which we have, lol) could be just as dangerous.
