Here are the do’s for your pitbull training :
- Always provide the pitbull puppy with constant, unrestricted access to the established toilet area.
- When you are at home, take the pitbull puppy to the toilet area every 45 minutes.
- When you are not at home or cannot supervise the pitbull puppy, you must be sure the pitbull puppy cannot make a mistake. This means confining the pitbull puppy to a small area that has been thoroughly pitbull puppy proofed. Pitbull puppy proofing a room is very similar to baby proofing a room, since puppies chew on everything.
- Always provide a toilet area that does not resemble anything in your home. Training the pitbull puppy to eliminate on concrete, blacktop, grass or dirt is a good idea. The pitbull puppy should never be encouraged to eliminate on anything that resembles the hardwood flooring, tile or carpet he may encounter in a home.
- Praise and reward your pitbull puppy every time he eliminates in the established toilet area. The pitbull puppy must learn to associate toileting in the established areas with good things, like treats, toys and praise from his owner.
- Always keep a set schedule when feeding your pitbull puppy, and provide constant access to fresh, clean drinking water. A consistent feeding schedule equals a consistent toilet schedule.
- Using a crate can be a big help in helping a pitbull puppy develop self control. The concept behind crate training is that the pitbull puppy will not want to toilet in his bed area.
- And finally, it is important to be patient when house training a pitbull puppy. House training can take as long as several months, but it is much easier to house train right the first time than to retrain a problem dog.
The Don’ts of House Training Your Pitbull puppy
- Never reprimand or punish the pitbull puppy for mistakes. Punishing the pitbull puppy will only cause fear and confusion.
- Do not leave food out for the pitbull puppy all night long. Keep to a set feeding schedule in order to make the dog’s toilet schedule as consistent as possible.
- Do not give the pitbull puppy the run of the house until he has been thoroughly house trained.
House training is not always the easiest thing to do, and some dogs tend to be much easier to house train than others. It is important, however to be patient, consistent and loving as you train your dog. A rushed, frightened or intimidated dog will not be able to learn the important lessons of house training. Once you have gained your pitbull puppy’s love and respect, however, you will find that house training your pitbull puppy is easier than you ever expected. Oh ya ! don’t forget to get a proper pitbull training equipment.
