No problem. I have a lot of thoughts. lol.

Another great command I have learned to teach is "out." Sometimes if they tie up you can call the dog out. I had one female I could do this with. If she tangled up with another critter I could command her to "out" & she would release her hold, but only for a few seconds, so you had to be ready to snatch her up as soon as she released. Of course not all APBTs can be taught to do this, but a handler oriented dog can. It won't stop a fight but it can end one & looks better than having to pry the dog off with a breaking stick - but I would still have a stick handy just in case! lol.

Blessings ...
