Pitbull Puppy Training Tips

Congratulations, on picking the perfect dog in my opinion. Pitbulls are hearty, strong, very loyal, energetic, and make a great all-around family pet. And training your Pitbull can be a very fun endeavor. I am a proud Pit-bull owner, and I am gonna show you some simple steps for training your new Pitbull, to be a happy, loving member of the family! If you’re new Pitbull is a puppy, then your training is gonna begin basically as soon as you get him or her home. Expect a lot of whining when you bring your new pit bull puppy home. Especially, at night because they have just been separated from their mother, and they are not yet familiar with there surroundings. This is completely normal for your new puppy, and is to be expected. What I did for training purposes to make my new Pit-bull puppy feel less stressed, was I put a sheet or a big blanket over his or hers cage, I had bought previously. This does work and calms your puppy down, it makes it less stressful for the puppy because it makes it darker in the cage, and more comfortable to sleep. Training tip: make sure you put out fresh papers for your new puppy, because he or she is not potty trained yet and nine times out of 10, will have an accident before you wake up in the morning. House Training Your New Pit Bull Puppy Breaking in your new young puppy to not go to the bathroom in the house is not very difficult at all, all you need is a little patience. Every time your puppy has an accident in the house. Here’s a little tip that I used with my Pitbull Champ when he was a young puppy. You pat them on the nose very gently, and tell them bad – put their nose by where they had their accident, not in it but close to there mess so they know that they have done wrong. Immediately pick them up and put them outside to do their business. Once they have finished doing their business outside, and you let them in then make sure you tell them good boy or girl. Training Tip: If you have a tasty treat on hand that don’t hurt either. Keep repeating this puppy training routine, and he or she will eventually get the hang of it, and will have no more accidents in the house. What TreatsTo Buy Your New Pitbull  PuppyPit-bull puppies are just like any other puppy, and they are very mischievous and energetic. they will get into anything, and they will get into anything that they can get their little teeth around lol. They are just teething, and this is just a process of growing up. But you definitely need to take precautions so that he or she does not chew up things, that he or she is not supposed to. The corners of walls for example, if you have loose tiles, or linoleum on your floor be careful. My Pit – bull Champ had a lot of fun with my floor, this was my mistake because I left him unsupervised for a couple hours, which I should not have done! You should always put your new Pit bull puppy in a puppy proofed room, or his or her cage, if your gonna leave for a while. Make sure he or she has some tasty treats to gnaw on to keep them occupied. My personal favorite bone for my dog when he was a puppy, and even now he’s 5 is called the Nylabone. It is specifically made for strong jawed dogs Pitbull, Rottweiler, German Shephard, etc. . . and is virtually indestructible. I highly recommend you purchase one of these dog bones.

Pitbull Puppy Exercise Tips

This is an easy tip, Pit-bulls in general are very active dogs, and they recommend at the bare minimum at least one hour of physical activity per day preferably more. But the bare minimum at least one hour. this can be a vigorous walk every day, or if you have a fenced in yard just let him or her run loose till they wear themselves out.

Train Your Pitbull Puppy For A Good Temperament

When I wasn’t sure about Pitpulls in the past, I kind of fell into the stereotype that they are aggressive dogs that will attack you for the fun of it. After owning one I can say with the utmost certainty that my Pitbull is the best dog I have ever owned without a doubt! His temperament is second to none! He is actually the friendliest dog I have ever owned by far. Let’s put it this way, Champ is now a healthy, happy, 5 year old adult Pitbull. And in those 5 years, I have never heard him growl even once, at another dog, or a person for that matter. I credit that to my training efforts with him, and being a caring loving owner. Treat and train your Pitbull right, and they will be your best friend for years, and years to come.

I wouldn’t train my Pitbull in for the world, he is like a son to me, and I treat him as one. Congratulations on your new Pit-bull puppy, you made a great choice! I am confident with a little training, and love, they will be by your side to the very end. Dogs do not judge, are always smiling, and glad to see you when you get home from a hard days work to cheer you up. If your having a bad day, your dog or puppy, is always there for you to put that smile right back on your face. You are everything to your dog, your their hero, your all they’ve got in this world. They count on you! They will be your best friend if you let them. Treat, and train your new Pitbull puppy right, and they will bring you countless smiles, and laughter, and make your life that much more enjoyable!

Training Pitbull Puppies- The Secret To Pitbull Puppy Training

Training Pitbull puppies to be great family pets takes more “know how” than most people would expect. Whlie Pits are a loving and loyal breed, they still can get out of control if not properly trained. Laura and I should know, we spent several months trying to get our Pitbull, “Rocco”, to cooperate. We had no success until we received expert advice from a professional Pitbull handler.

The key to training Pitbull puppies is to start the training when they are very young. Even at a very young age, Pitbulls are very responsive to vocal tone and one word commands. In fact, Laura and I learned that you can begin training as early as 8 weeks!

Needless to say, at such a young age, Pitbulls have EXTREMELY short attention spans! Nevertheless, firm commands such as “NO” and “Down” can be applied from the day you bring your Pitbull home. The key is to be consistant and firm. Don’t make the mistake of being firm in some instances, and not firm in other instances when the behavior is the same.

BIG mistake!

We learned that Pitbulls learn best in an environment where the “alpha leader” of the household conducts one on one training in a controlled environment on a regular schedule. Of course, the dog must be old enough to pay strict attention for approx. 10 minutes each session. Generally, this form of training Pitbull puppies can begin at about 5 months.

For training to be effective, a Pitbull must get plenty of exercise. If they are restless and have too much pent up energy, their attention spans suffer. And for Heaven’s sake, if you want your Pitbull puppy training to go smoothly, don’t isolate your dog. Allow your puppy to socialize REGULARLY!

Pitbull Puppy Training- Simple Tips For Creating The Perfect Family Pet

For the longest time I put off Pitbull puppy training. I don’t know, maybe I thought that “Rocco”, our Pitbull puppy, would train himself. At first I was clueless about training Pitbull puppies. However, my wife Laura and I followed the advice of a Pitbull handler, and followed these training tips.

Pitbulls, in general, have TONS of energy! Consequently, it is important that they get plenty of exercise. Make sure that before you bring a Pitbull into your life, that you are able to provide adequate channels for your puppy to release energy. It is sad to see Pitbull owners who keep their puppies tied up or in a confined area. It is very difficult for Pitbull puppy training to be successful with a hyperactive dog.

In fact, whenever it is possible, obtaining a 2nd puppy can accomplish two important objectives. The 2nd puppy can provide a playmate for your Pitbull, which will allow your puppy an outlet for energy. Also, interacting with another dog is a great way for your Pitbull puppy to get used to being around other dogs.

Pitbulls have the reputation for being aggressive toward other dogs. Consequently, your Pitbull puppy training should include introducing your puppy to other dogs at a very early age. Allowing your puppy to be around small children is good training as well. Introducing them to as many new social situations as possible is a great way create a “sociable” pitbull!

Pitbulls are quite intelligent, and training can begin at a very young age. Generally speaking, one word commands such as “down” and “No”, can begin as early as 9-10 weeks. Each family member should be consistant in training Pitbull puppies.

As your dog’s attention span increases, more advanced training can begin. When the more advanced training begins, one family member at a time should initiate the training sessions. They should be no more than 10-12 minutes.
