Helpful Puppy Training Tips

Pitbull Terriers is dog breed that has been around for many decades. The physical makeup of a pitbull is: a big block shaped head, a short thick neck, and very wide chest. I consider a pitbull as my family pet because they are full of love, they listen very well and they are protectors that's willing to put it's own life on the line. Please keep in mind that your puppy needs alot of attention in its puppy stage all the way up to an adult, you must think give proper corections, when you dog does something wrong for example: your peed on the carpet, take him/her back to the spot where they peed and say the word 'no' in a stern tone, now if your pup is caught in the act, try clapping your hands or a make a loud noise to throw the pup off from what its doing, and immediatley take the pup outside to go potty.

Socialization starts early in a dogs life, the benefit is it builds a strong dog with plenty of confidence. The goal is to have a confident dog that can exist properly in the world. Remember the more time you put into training and obeidence the better mentally stable the dog.Your dog also need lots of play time and room to run the yard.

Grooming your pitbull puppy on the regular is a must, pitbull puppies are short hair coated that needs attention, I perfer to use a brush and a high quality shampoo. Start the grooming process at early age. When the dog gets older will be a custom to be groomed. Regular vists to the Vet also makes life easy for the pup and its owner, you dog need all of its shots and regular vists for check ups.

The size of your pitbull can vary typically the heights range from 17-23 inches and the weight about 45-110 pounds. Overall the pitbulls are good healthy dogs, however a few reports show that the breed can suffer from hip dysplasia and heart disease. The average life span for a pitbull is approximately 11-12 years. I recommened a good diet,healthy foods and good exercise for you dog. Always show your dog who's the boss, never let your dog have its way, because that when aggression comes into play, and we never was that towards the owner or any person. When search for a pitbull to purchase I recommend that you take a good look at a variety of pitbull kennels and not just the first one you see, take your time and look at different litters. I highly recommend starting your dog training at a early stage in the pups life.
