Pit bulls often face a negative reputation due to a combination of media sensationalism, misconceptions, and a history of being bred for dog fighting. These factors have contributed to a stereotype that unfairly labels them as inherently aggressive. However, aggression in dogs is more closely related to factors like upbringing, training, and socialization rather than breed. In Bloomington, CA, our clinic works to educate the community about the true nature of pit bulls, emphasizing that they can be loving, loyal, and gentle pets with the proper care and socialization.
