Our policy is straight forward. At Dog Training Ireland we have no breed restrictions.
The definition of ‘Restricted Breeds’ is a breed as listed in the Irish Control of Dogs Act and are as follows:
American Pit Bull Terrier
Bull Mastiff
Doberman Pinscher
English Bull Terrier
German Shepherd
Japanese Akita
Japanese Tosa
Rhodesian Ridgeback
Rottweiler
Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Bandog
Instead at Dog Training Ireland we work with each dog and their specific needs regardless of breed or breed type.
Our policy is based on the dogs who have attended our classes, research studies on various breeds, behaviour studies, knowledge and experience. In addition we monitor the yearly results published by the American Temperament Testing Society. These results clearly show that the dog breeds listed on the restricted breeds list are no different from other breeds. For more info on the ATTS go here www.atts.org
We strongly believe in the promotion of responsible ownership and helping owners understand their dogs.

I am taking a badly treated pitbull in to my home. She is the sweetest natured girl who was used for breeding and kept in a cage with a concrete floor. She is full of energy and I would like to have her properly trained. She is not used to being in a home environment and jumps up on people to kiss them which is a bit scary. Can you recommend a trainer in the Cork area who has worked with this breed? I really want to make this work.
