About Peace Love & Pitbulls
PLease go to the Facebook page as i don’t get to this site that much. peaceloveandpitbulls.com
PLP is training and rescue.
Training for private (see training tab)
And free for people who need a lil help getting they’re babies good and socialized. meetup.com/bullsonparade
Oh and also PLP is The PLP Kissing Booth for all your kissing needs.
What PLP does is save one dog at a time from Kill shelters here in Vegas. Tino pulls the dog brings’em home for a crash course in the PLP Boot camp.
Hey my name is Tino and I am here to share what i’ve learned of this breed known as The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT). Am-staff, Bull dog, red nose, black nose, Blue, whatever….
I have 5 APBT’s Bandit, Shorty, Boo Boo, Rockie, and Buddy. what i’ve learned in the last 20 yrs. I am more than willing to share with any and everyone who has the privilege of having a “Bully” in their life.
First off I am not certified, licensed, stamped, branded, or FDA approved but I know these dogs and I can help. I have and continue to spend a lot of time with this “breed” and can share much needed help to anyone asking. It took a lot of trial and very much error on my part and after 20 yrs. I can confidently say I know a thing or two, bout a thing or two when it comes to training these amazing dogs. If you’ve seen my pups then you know they are pretty darned well behaved. When PLP rescues a dog my pups are the reason the training goes so smooth and fast.
I am only interested in helping raise awareness of the beauty in this “breed,” help train anyone to have a super sweet well behaved “Bull” and help save another pit from being put down because of plain and simple ignorance. Ok nuff said…check out the site. Feel free to contact me anytime.

I love your sight. I wanted to make fun bumper stickers that say peace love and pitbulls until I realized you had an orgnization named this and didn’t want to steal your name. I am working on starting a website called http://www.brinkleysworld.com
I am a volunteer at the Arizona Humane Society and it is painful going in and looking at the faces on all the dogs there. It is so sad to see how many pitts get turned in and because they were never socialized and cannot be adopted, euthanasia is the only option. I fell in love with a blue pit that was found by a trucker in a truck stop. This dog was obviously homeless and had been abandoned. The dog ended up having mange and the next morning I was going to go back and foster it and sad to say it was already put down. I went home hysterical because the reality of how many pitbulls die because of the reputation and lack of $ to help these dogs is a true reality. I am going to school for pre vet med and I truely want to make a difference. I own a female pitt named Brinkley who makes me smile everyday. I love her to death. Her personality is unreal!! She is honestly a lil comedian and I swear she is an angel in disguise. But all dogs are angels. My website I am creating is focused on my dog and is meant to be fun and funky. I am hoping to design shirts and charm bracelets and give back the profit from these items to shelters and hopefully open my own some day. I want to make a difference. Can you give me any idea or feedback on my site? I really need help with this and need help with ideas for designs. I want to make funny sayings and fun pics to show the true side of this breed and other pets in need. Please look at my website and let me know what you think. As I said this is all just in the beginning stages so nothing is complete yet. I hope you can give me some feedback.
Sincerely,
Juli Raner
Hi,Tino, I believe it was about 7 or 8 years ago when I first met you during a SMS training class and I’m pretty sure it was Buster and Shorty you were training. Anyway, My name is Connie Bowman and we were in a few SMS classes together, my dogs name is Spot, an all white Pit Bull with a brown spot on his left eye. You probably don’t remember us but I do remember you and your Pit Bulls! I remember you cause I was so absolutely amazed with the work you did with your dogs!!! And now, after all these years, I stumble upon, “Peace, Love & Pit Bulls” and I am even more amazed and moved at the same time!!! I am sooo gratefull that you are in this world doing the work that you are doing with and for the Pit Bull Breeds!!! My eyes fill with tears when I watch your videos because it is so beautiful to see you and your pack in perfect harmony! You have truly Blessed my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pit Bulls have been my only passion in life and I am committed to rescueing them as I have for almost 20 years now and will continue to do so til the day I die! Even if it is only one at a time, one of my motto’s is, “One is better than none”!
I currently have 5 dogs that I rescued and recently started back training with SMS.
Thank You Tino, for all that you have done and all that you do for Pit Bulls!!!
I look forward to seeing you and your pack sometime!
May God Bless You and Your Always!!!
Connie
thx for this post ! very informative !
Love what you stand for and how you’re going about doing it. Nothing like following your passion and making the world a better place. LOL
Now that’s what i call a good article! Nice job dude
Hi, please come like our Facebook fan page on “My dog is family”. We really would like you to be a part of this with us. We love our dogs as memeber of the family here! http://www.facebook.com/pages/My-dog-is-family/280645485291180
Hi and Wow! I love this site! i grew up with pitbulls as “guard dogs” and im the first in my family have to have a completely indoors pit bull, his name is Cappuccino. I do wish to have your advice, you see Capp is partially blind and with small children and any fast movements he is very very skiddish and has nipped a few of my 3 year old cousins, never a “bite” but i know its because he cant see whats going on all of the time. other wise Capp is an awesome dog and listens way better than my beagle or chiuauah LOL. any tips?
yes

Hi. first of all this is really great. I too am very dedicated to this breed. I have about 5 years experience with the breed and 10 years experience with dogs in general. I have a 2 year old pit mix named maya. I currently live in fairfield CA. I have experience in training dogs specially bully breeds. I also am a big fan of the dog whisperer. My goal is to do what I can for this breed. Unfortunately I dont have the resources to do this. I am willing to volunteer, advertise or whatever it is necessary to be a part of your team. Do you think this is something that is possible??
Love your site. I have been raising ABPT for a little over 20 years. Lots of trial and error on my part too and several pairs of shoes. I currently have 2 pitts and they are my big babies. Lacy is 11 years old and Ruckus is 4. They are protection and companions. I have had other breeds over the years but I am a firm believer that there is no breed as loyal and loving as the APBT. I wish you the best with your site and work you are doing.
just watched your video about BSL in Denver. Tennessee (Nashville) has been trying, off and on, for years to pass BSL. so far with no success but they have managed to ban them from the parks, including the dog parks. they used an incident where a park employee was bitten trying to break up a dog fight between a pit type dog and lab. funny how they still allow labs in the parks even though witnesses said that the lab was the instigator and they couldn’t say which dog bite the employee.
As a result, I have to drive 40 miles to another city to take my dogs to the park. Typically it is about 30-40% pits at that park and I have yet to see a pit start a fight.
the pit bull problem is 100% due to irresponsible owners. I love and respect all the families that have welcome pits into their homes, but it takes more than just loving them. we have a responsibility to them and to the public to be good owners, raise them to positive examples of what this amazing breed is capable of. get them back to their status as “America’s” breed, Nanny dogs etc… that is the only way we will ever counter-act the Media’s love to display them as monsters.
thank you so much for doing what you are doing for the breed we love. It is my hope that more resposible pitbull owners start speaking out and showing the true side of these dogs and what they truley are! Not what the media portrays.
My son’s girlfriend , when they were in high school, decided to purchase a Pit Bill puppy for my son as a birthday gift. I (we) come from a LONG history of dog loving family’s. I think my mother who is now deceased, is in dog heaven, she would rescue, feed, house ANY animal that walked this earth that was hungry, pregnant, sick you name it. My kids in turn were raised dog, animal lovers as well. I had never had a pit bull breed before, so this was a first. Since he still lived at home ( my son) we added ANOTHER dog to the family. Her name was Camille. She loved us as we loved her. She went to work with us, she took bath’s in my jacuzzi tub, she was the best, loving dog we ever had. Camille lived 13 years, we loved her every minute, she was our first grandbaby we used to say until the “real” one came along and is now 12 years old. God Bless you for what you do, I wish I could rescue every dog and animal on this earth that needed me. You are a special person and Im sure my Mother would kiss your cheek and tell you as I am. May God continually Bless you , all your Dogs, Family and Friends.
Where are you located?

I have owned my pit bull for just over 10 yrs & she is truly my ‘other child’! She has been rasied with my daughter 13 & my son 7 and she has never bit anyone or given anyone anything but kisses! Pit bulls are a wonderful breed & she is the best dog I have ever owned! I believe with all my heart in the motto ‘punish the deed not the breed’! Keep up your wonderful work & god bless!

How do we stop the insurance companies from banning our beloved dogs? It is so hard to get a rental in the State of FL because of my 2 loves.
Your website melts my heart. I rescued a pit from a local shelter 4 years ago. She was my first dog as an adult on my own and i wouldnt trade her for the world. She is a little scared of people at first,but the most kind loving and gentle girl in the world. She loves children and gets along well with other dogs. The thought of her previous owner beating her makes me sick. Im glad we have advocates like you who teach and love the breed. Kudos to you!
Love your site.
peace and much love,
Dana
I just wanted to say Thank You for this. I am absolutely in love with pit bull’s and think they are the sweetest dogs anyone could ask for. I have a 6 mon old brindle/blue pit and she’s is one of the biggest/sweetest babies i have ever seen and i wouldn’t have it any other way. i commend you on all your efforts in trying to get people to realize how precious these dogs are and that they have feelings too, just like us. Matter of fact, my very first dog was a dachsund(weenie dog) and he was more mean than my pitbull is. haha. but anyways, the world and breed needs more people like you…not to preach about the breed but to educate. i oh so wish there was a way i could get involved with this and help people understand they’re dogs just like any other breed. Please feel free to contact me with any information about the organization, like i said, i’d love to help.
KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!.
Tino, I’ve only owned my rescued Am-Staff for 8 or so years, but he’s the best thing in my life. He’s about ten now and getting into retirement age. He’ll always be my first love. I find it amazing that your dog and I share the same name, and the same spelling!
