The Complete Book of Puppy Training and Care by Maxwell Riddle by Maxwell Riddle by Maxwell Riddle by Maxwell Riddle by Maxwell Riddle

For the longest time I place 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. But, 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 vital 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 hard for Pitbull puppy training to be successful with a hyperactive dog.

In fact, whenever it is possible, obtaining a 2nd puppy can accomplish two vital 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 fantastic 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 excellent training as well. Introducing them to as many new social situations as possible is a fantastic way make a “sociable” pitbull!

Pitbulls are quite intelligent, and training can start at a very young age. Generally speaking, one word commands such as “down” and “No”, can start 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 start. When the more advanced training starts, one family member at a time should initiate the training sessions. They should be no more than 10-12 minutes.
