In a word YES!

And being an intelligent dog has its own advantages and drawbacks.

Here are a few tips for making your Pit Bulls training experience fun and rewarding for both of you…

Pit Bulls are quick to learn.

This also means that Pit Bulls have a mind of their own, which would sometimes show up as stubbornness. Thus, they can be harder to train than most other dogs due to their independence.

As an owner you must understand Pit Bull’s intelligence/stubbornness, handle it well, and you can avoid problems in disciplining and training this unique breed.

As owners, you must maintain respect between you and your Pit Bulls. Respect goes both ways.

Respect their intelligence. Love them. Set the rules for behavior. Trust them. There is no need for extreme measures to show Pit Bulls that you are the top dog.

Handle their hard-headedness with patient and don’t give up on their training.

And because they are stubborn, conventional obedience training may not be the most effective way to get them to listen to you. Utilize their high play drive for more effective obedience training.

Conduct “play training” where by the training tasks are made into fun games and the Pit Bull’s high play drive is used as motivation. There are a lot of really good books available on this type of training.

Basically Pit Bulls are intelligent and could be stubborn. So you have to outwit them! While training your Pit Bull, you have to make him WANT to do what you want him to. You can’t make him do stuff unless it is FUN. Otherwise you are wasting both your time and his.

Your Pit Bull’s favorite activities should become training, so that training becomes his favorite activity.

Pit Bulls LOVE to play! You will have the happiest Pit Bull in the world and most obedient if you will just spend some time, giving them your undivided attention everyday. Otherwise they feel ignored, bored and will tear or chew things up and will not listen to you.

Pit Bulls have very powerful jaws. This makes buying Toys that last, not the easiest thing to do.

PawsUp Pet Supply.com has a program for choosing appropriate Toys for your dog’s size, Energy Level and Chewing temperament means Toys last longer which saves you money. Start by identifying your dog’s breed then click to view our recommendations.

“They [dogs] never talk about themselves but listen to you while you talk about yourself, and keep up an appearance of being interested in the conversation.” - Jerome K. Jerome
