Training A Pit Bull

When teaching basic commands, you want to make sure that you have your dog's attention. You want to elliminate any and all distractions from the room. Avoid other animals, people, toys, sounds, and smells. You want to have your dog's full and undivided attention. If there are other things around to distract your dog, you are setting him up to fail.

You want to start with one command at a time. When you think that the dog has mastered the command, you want to add one distraction-a simple one, and work through that.

When you think that the dog has mastered one command, add another.

The key is to have short training sessions several times throughout the day. When you train for hours a day, you set your dog up to fail. Dogs are like children; they get bored easily. When they get bored, they don't listen, which will definitely frustrate you and then them.

Remember that Pit Bulls and bully breed dogs are stubborn and hard headed. You want to be stern, repetitive, and consistant when training a bully. They tend to catch on faster with positive reinforcements, love, and treats.
