    An XL Bully trainer has announced he will hold a rally with up to 100 of the dogs present in Hull to show people they are "fantastic family pets", just a day after a similar event was cancelled in the Midlands.<\/p>\n

    Ex-soldier and dog trainer Scott Godman believes the XL Bully dogs have been given a bad press, according to Hull Live. He is now planning to hold a free event on September 30 at local playing fields in east Yorkshire, where he will provide important advice on the breed, and training.<\/p>\n

    He said: \u201cBecause of the ban coming in so many owners are scared of what will happen to their XL bully dogs which are actually fantastic family pets. I\u2019m not sure how many will turn up. We could have just ten XL bully dogs or 100 could turn up.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI would provide free training for those who are struggling with their dogs. We can also help with advice when the new rules when the ban come in, such as how to muzzle your dog. They need to be comfortable with a muzzle and not get stressed out.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \u201cI don\u2019t want people losing their dogs just because they don\u2019t know what to do when the new rules come in. I want everyone to become responsible owners.\u201d<\/p>\n

    XL bully owners will not see their pets culled under the new rules but will likely face new restrictions \u2013 including a requirement to have the dogs neutered. There will be an \u201camnesty\u201d approach, echoing the way the ban on pit bull terriers under the Dangerous Dogs Act was introduced in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

    Scott felt compelled to hold the event due to the number of calls he received from worried dog owners.<\/p>\n
