American Pit Bull Dog Obedience Training
The Pit Bull terrier is an amazing dog and is extremely
energetic and can certainly prove to be a handful if not
properly trained. American Pit Bulls are extremely loyal and
when a relationship is formed, it lasts forever. If you're a new
Pit Bull owner, you really need to understand how demanding
these dogs can be and realize that they need a lot of attention
and training in order to recognize their full potential as pets.
Pits are very intelligent dogs and this will work to your
advantage as you're going through the training process.
Because of their high intelligence, Pit Bulls can have stubborn
streak in them but don't let this scare you when it comes to
obedience training time. You as the owner must remember that
there will be times when you ask him to do something and he's
not going to obey, even though he knows what you are expecting
him to do. Remember to remain patient in these times and don't
get frustrated. The earlier you being training your Pit, the
better. At 8 weeks of age, you can begin basic training and
socializing your Pit Bull puppy. Remember, make sure to keep the
training activities fun and use positive reinforcements to
encourage desired behavior.
Socialization is one of the key areas of focus for Pit Bull
training. Pits can be extremely friendly and affectionate
animals but they can be dog aggressive if not properly
socialized. The best way to socialize your pup is to enroll in
training classes. Training classes allow your Pit to be trained
side by side with other dogs.
When your Pit Bull puppy reaches the age of 13-16 weeks, you can
begin a more serious training routine. During this age, your Pit
will likely test his boundries with you and explore the area of
dominance. He may nip and try to assume the alpha dog role. It
is important to be strong during this time and maintain the
dominant role in the relationship.
Pit Bulls are genuinely lovable family dogs that if properly
trained, make a great pet for anyone. They are excellent dogs
that love being around their "people". Be sure to train your Pit
Bull as early as possible and remember to stay consistent.
