Training Pitbull Puppies- The Mystery To Pitbull Puppy Training .

Training Pitbull puppies to be great family pets takes more "know how" than about 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 get the training when they are very young. Even at a rattling immature age, Pitbulls are very reactive to vocal quality and one word commands. In fact, Laura and I knowing that you can start training as early as 8 weeks!

Needless to say, at such a new age, Pitbulls have EXTREMELY short attention spans! Nevertheless, firm commands such as "NO" and "Dispirited" can be applied from the day you work your Pitbull home. The key is to be consistant and firm. Don`t have the fault of being strong in some instances, and not strong in former instances when the conduct 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 kind of training Pitbull puppies can get at approximately 5 months.

For education to be effective, a Pitbull must get sight of exercise. If they are uneasy and receive 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 pup to socialize REGULARLY!

Quite frankly, laura and I were on the brink of putting "Rocco" up for adoption. We made the fault of trying to take him when we didn`t acknowledge what we were doing. And, to take matters worse, we waited until he was about an adult to begin. We took to pump some tips that we received from a professional Pitbull handler who was an adept in training Pitbull puppies, and the change in Rocco for the best was almost supernatural! He is now a joy to get around, and a terrific family companion!
