Pit bull owners, dog behaviourist defend breed

CBC News interviewed Stanley Coren, professor emeritus of psychology at UBC, following an incident involving pit bulls that sent several people to the hospital when they broke up a dog fight.

“People are going to turn this into a pit bull issue and it’s not a pit bull issue,” said Coren. “If you yell at them and rush, they are going to no longer think of you as owner — you are just another member of the fight.”
