We believe that using proper pitbull puppy training tips is truly the key to raising a pitbull puppy to be a loving and fun dog instead of the dog so many people fear.
As pitbull owners we realize that they can be fierce and powerful dogs, however we know that proper training and plenty of love from their owners can help them to grow into strong and powerful loving animals that won’t hurt anyone.
The idea that a specific breed of dog is more dangerous than another is astounding.
While we do acknowledge that the pitbull breed is physically stronger, that does not make them more dangerous. Danger comes from how a dog is raised, not it’s genetics.
All the Best Pitbull Puppy Training Tips
Most people think of puppy training as something you would find only at an obedience school, but we realize there are many at home methods of training that work great for training your pitbull puppy to be loving, gentle and obedient.
You can easily train your pitbull puppy at home to do simple things like learn how to walk on a leash, or watch videos to show you how to train them simple commands like sit, stay and lay down. Starting slowly to train a puppy is important.
Just like your child took time to roll over, sit up, stand and walk so will your puppy. Patience during the training process is necessary.
Start early with simple training for things like going potty outside, learning to listen to commands and even how to get along with other pets. You can move into other command training as they get the hang of these things.
For some puppies, chewing and biting is a real problem. Not because they are aggressive, but because it is a natural thing for them to desire to chew and strengthen their teeth. You can break their chewing habit easily with the right rewards training.
Offering them something to chew on that is a safe alternative, and redirecting them will help them to understand that isn’t an accepted behavior.
If you aren’t comfortable training your pitbull puppy yourself, you can look at great local pitbull training classes with qualified individuals who will lead your dogs away from aggressive behavior and turn them into gentle and loving pets.
Also, we have found some great books on pitbull puppy training that will fill in the gaps and help you to make your pitbull puppy a gentle and obedient family pet.
