Alpha female Pit Bull

Question
Hi there,
Our Pit Bull Layla loves to play with other dogs but she's too rough at times and bashes into them hard and knocks, flips or trips them. Why does she do this? It's embarrassing and most owners don't like it. She ruines the fun everytime. She could seriously hurt another dog. I've never seen another dog do what she does. Any suggestions??

Answer
Hello Beth: I know what you mean... I bet she doesn't know just how rough she is at play time.  She needs to get some behavior training within a " pack " setting.  She just doesn't know how to be part of the pack.

Look for a trainer that can help you with this issue.  If you don't have the money for a trainer....Then, I have the next best thing.
My friend wrote a book called " The HUMAN Pack"
Here is the link - she is a wonderful Trainer.
