Obedience Training

Available For Your

Pit Bull Terrier

More and more Pit Bull owners are realizing the

benefits of training their dogs. There are several

reasons why an owner would like to train their

pet, other than just the obvious housebreaking

which is mandatory. A pet which is well trained, no

matter the breed, is a pet liked and admired by any

and all that come in contact with him. All pets, and

certainly the Pit Bull, can not only benefit

themselves, but their entire breed by making a good

showing around company.

Responsible Pit Bull owners are now seeing the light

that the only way to combat the negative attack

campaign the media has launched against our

misunderstood breed is to make sure our pets make

a good showing no matter where they go.

As a responsible Pit Bull owner, you have several

training options available for your use. Which

method you choose to use for training your Pit Bull is

solely left up to your own discretion. It is highly

recommended that before you train your Pit Bull that

you are up to the task at hand, and fully understand

the training method you choose to use.

After The Fact Discipline: This type of training is not

recommended because it is not effective. It has been

used for correcting behavior after an act has

happened, rather than focusing on the prevention of

the act.

Clicker Training: This type of training is a method of

teaching and reinforcing positive behaviors with a

motivational style. The goal of clicker training is to

teach the dog obedience while avoiding harmful

punishments.

Eclectic Training Method: Combines several

different training methods, while emphasizing the

method which seems to deliver the best

behavioral results. This method uses the different

methods to reinforce each other.

Koehler Method: This method has been deemed a

heavy handed style of dog training which to many is

simply too harsh. This method combines physical

correction with the after-the-fact training style.

Lure Training: Lure training is great for nearly all

dogs. It uses something that the dog likes, such as a

toy or a special treat to teach commands. Over time,

the lure i s slowly removed from the training. Lure

training is great for puppies as well as timid or dogs

which are difficult to train. This method of training

often succeeds where other fail.

Play Training: Play training is a motivational training

method which takes two of the dog’s primary drives,

play and prey, and combines it into a fun filled

training session which the dogs love. You know your

Pit Bull better than anyone, so it is up to you how

you’d like to go about training him. By picking a

method which you think would appeal to you both,

you’ll insure a successful experience in training your

Pit Bull.
