Training a pitbull can be accomplished by following some simple steps:
1. Good management skills
2. Exercise
3. Leadership
4. Positive training methods
In this video and article I will cover each of the four steps.
Instructions
1. The first step in training a pitbull is good management skills. Management of behavior is important and is done by using different management tools. Crates, leashes, baby gates and other restraints are all management tools.
A crate can be used when you are not right there watching your pitbull. A baby gate can be used to keep your pitbull in the room with you. Leashes can be put on your pitbull in the house. With the leash on, you can use it to control your pitbull's behavior. Good management skills help you train your pitbull in the early stages.
As your pitbull gets older and more mature, you won't have to manage as much.
2. Exercise is extremely important for pitbulls. They are high-energy dogs. Aerobic exercise is important.
3. Pitbulls are terriers. Terriers as a breed are very hardy, headstrong dogs. As a pitbull owner you need to establish leadership. The better you are at establishing leadership, the easier it will be to train your pitbull. Leadership should be done through positive methods. Harsh, physical methods are not a good way to establish leadership with pitbulls.
4. Train using positive methods. Use a lot of positive reinforcement. As a breed, pitbulls are extremely durable. If you have a heavy hand when it comes to training, it may backfire if you try it with a pitbull. Harsh, physical training methods contribute to aggressive behavior. Learn reinforce behavior through positive training methods.
