PITBULL TRAINING

HOW I TRAINED THE PITBULL THAT COULDN'T BE BROKEN

THIS IS PART 1 OF A 4 PART ARTICLE ON PITBULL TRAINING

This article examines pitbull training techniques. Over the years I have owned and trained dozens of Pitbulls. During this time I have discovered that there are two ways to go about training a Pit Bull. One involves a tedious process, which takes weeks, even months of effort. The other involves about 10 or 15 minutes in about three sessions. Now you might ask; who in their right mind would choose the first method of pitbull training, which incidentally, most often leads to frustration and a pitbull that is at best only half trained? You would be surprised at how many people choose the first method of pitbull training which consists of Reward and Punishment as to the pitbull training method. They reason; that is the way it has been done since the dawn of time and that if it worked with Lassie, it will work on their Pitbull. Frankly, if you are very persistent, it will work much of the time. But yet, if you are like me and most people today, where time is of the essence, a method of PitBull training that is faster, easier, and, more humane, has to appeal to you as it did me.

A while back I bought a 14 month old Blue Pitbull who I would name Bra'tac ( Bray Tack) you can see him in these series of pictures and another 70 photos on my website here: Master Bra'tac. When making the purchase over the Internet, I inquired as to his disposition, and was told he was OK toward people but; "He is a handful". I soon discovered how true that statement was. Take a look at him if you think I am kidding when I say he is the most powerful Pitbull I had ever seen. Basically, he was almost uncontrollable. All he wanted to do is sniff the ground in front of himself. The fact that I was on the other end of a leash with my feet dug firmly in had little effect in slowing his forward progress. So out came the pronged choke chain (I laugh when I see these on dogs now). The only thing that did was wear me out even more, as it barely slowed his pace.

PROFFESIONAL DOG TRAINING TIPS FROM MR PITBULL

It was then that I dug into my collection of Pitbull Training videos, and found the one I was looking for by Ed Frawley of Leerburg Kennels. The video is entitled Remote Collar Training for Pets. You can find a link to the video for purchase in the left hand column. The video touts the advantages of training a pitbull with an electronic collar / shock collar. Some refer to them as Shock Collars while others like to refer to them as Static Collars. The video in a very straight forward manner shows how to use a pitbull training collar / shock collar, and how very little stimulation is actually needed to get results. I decided to follow the instructions to the letter, and that Bra'tac would be the ultimate test subject. After adjusting the shock collar to the proper fit, I went through a series of tests to determine the right amount of stimulation for the electric collar / shock collar (and yes I tried it on myself). You want just enough that you can see it gets his attention when you press the button. If the dog yelps, it is too much, back off the settings on the shock collar. Once I established the proper setting on the shock collar, the rest was a piece of cake. In three sessions, of no more than 10 or 15 minutes, Bra'tac the Blue Pitbull beast that couldn't be broken, was responding to my commands without hesitation. In fact, he could be in the yard with a female in full heat, and the minute I go to his kennel and call, he is there pronto. Once the dog is trained, the shock collar is no longer needed.

INFORMATION ON HOW TO TRAIN EVEN THE MOST DIFFICULT DOGS

Since then I have put the electronic dog collar / shock collar to work training Pit Bulls to do things that I had given up hope on. In another article I will share further experiences with Dog Training Collars / Shock Collars. In the meanwhile, I would encourage everyone to take a look at the video. Additionally, if you are hesitant as I was to use a Training Collar / shock collar to train your pitbull, go to Cabelas.com and Amazon.com and read all the user reviews. Doing so helped me decide to try it, and I am very glad I did.

You will note in the left column that I have selected the most popular training videos for you. I own a number of Leerburg videos and consider Leerburg (as do many of the top professionals) to be the best training videos on the planet. The videos are very interesting, well presented and easy to follow. The step by step process the videos take, as well as demonstrating the results, help to instill confidence in both you and your dog. Remember, your dog is a lifetime investment. To get the most out of him and likewise him from you, invest a few dollars and a little of your time and see if you are not richly rewarded. I know that they have made an immense difference for me and my dogs. You will not be disappointed.

MRPITBULL SAYS: THESE TWO SHOCK COLLARS RECEIVE MY HIGHEST RATING

I have spent a considerable amount of time using and testing various shock collars. One look on Cabelas.com or Amazon.com and you note that the choices may seem overwhelming. Although there are a number of high quality shock collars, I believe these two shock collars the Tri-Tronics Sport Basic G3 Training Collar and the Dogtra 1900NCP Field Star Training Collar are far and away the best shock collars for the money. You can buy a shock collar for around a hundred dollars; these shock collars are glorified toys, and will not hold up to the rigors of dog training. The Sports Basic G3 and the Field Star are both professional grade units with 1/2 mile range. I own and use the Sports Basic G3 shock collar, because it can control up to three dogs at once (with purchase of extra receivers). This comes in handy for me. If I only had one dog to train, I would consider the Field Star shock collar. Both shock collars hold up to the elements and have the power to train even the most stubborn dog with absolute ease.

Cabelas has at the time of this writing, 185 reviews on the Sports Basic shock collar. The Sports Basic shock collar has a 4.7 out of 5 rating and is the most popular shock collar sold. Here are are the Cabelas links to both shock collars for your convince:

One more word in regard the training collar / shock collar: Many people wrongly assume that the shock collar is cruel or inhumane; nothing could be further from the truth. If you think that a shock collar is barbaric, do yourself a favor and visit Cabelas.com or Amazon.com and read all of the user reviews on shock collars and bark collars. You will find hundreds of reviews. In almost every case, the reviewer says; "I hesitated from getting a shock collar, thinking it was cruel... HOW WRONG I WAS!"

MRPITBULL SAYS: WHILE WE'RE AT IT - LETS TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT BARK COLLARS

When you have a kennel full of dogs, one thing you can't put up with is barking dogs. I have over the years tested numerous bark collars as I outline in this article: BARK COLLAR REVIEWS. Therefore, I am not going to get into detail here, but will supply you with my top picks as I have done on shock collars.

When it comes to bark collars there is no contest from my experience. I own and use the Tri Tronics Bark Limiter G3 Electronic Dog Collar. It is simply the best bark training collar. If you are hesitant to spend over hundred dollars on this training collar, you should consider the SportDOG NoBark 10R Bark Control Collar. Make sure you take the time to read the reviews. You will be very happy with the results.

One more word in regard the bark training collar / shock collar: Bark collars are very easy to use. Set the shock collar at the lowest setting to begin with. When the dog starts to bark, notice if there is any response. If not turn the shock collar up until you notice when the dog starts to bark, it looks around to see what is going on. At this point, the stimulation is not hurting, it is simply annoying to the dog. Generally, such will be sufficient. It isn't long before the dog quits barking. In most cases it is not necessary to turn the shock collar up any further, they will get the point and stop barking.
