Owning a dog means you have to learn how to potty train. You might have already done this with your children. You will find that to potty train a dog can be a lot more difficult.
Obviously you should potty train a puppy as opposed to an adult.
As a loving and caring Pit Bull owner, you will undoubtedly spend a lot of your time in training your dog. You will probably do some crate training, obedience training, maybe even agility training. But, one of the most enjoyable things you can do for your Pit Bull is leash training. He may not think very highly of it at first, but once he has the hang of it, your outside time with him will be much more enjoyable for you both. Leash training is also an important step in training your Pit Bull for shows, if that is your ultimate goal.
Most experts recommend that you begin leash training your Pit Bull when he is around six or seven weeks old. Usually at this age, he will have a better attention span, and will be up for walks with you.
You may be asking, “When can I start agility training with my new puppy?” Puppies are always learning, so every time you are with your pup you can be playing and socializing with agility in mind. Always remember, if you can control your puppies environment, you can teach and train the behaviors you want, left on their own, even in a fenced yard, puppies will learn and develop behaviors that later we may want or need to extinguish.
One of the first behaviors we teach our pups is “Table” or “Box”. This behavior transfers to the agility pause table. But more than that, the table is the center and control point of our puppy training. We introduce pups and older dogs to the table set at a 12 inch height. If you have a very small pup you could use an 8 inch table, but even with bigger dogs we use the 12 inch table and not higher. To begin, lure pup up on a low pause table, treat him for getting on the table. Once the pup is comfortable getting up on the table, then lure the pup up to a sit. You can also lure to a down.

Training Your Silky Dog:
It is essential to have a dog that knows how to follow the right rules and how to live around your house. To achieve this, dog training must be considered.
Most people think that training a dog is hard and expensive. Moreover, dog training requires a lot of patience and creativity for your dog. We have to remember that dogs may be intelligent but they can not be as intelligent as us. The article provides some of the basic things dog owners need to know so they can do the training themselves. However, to maximize the full potential of your dog, a dog trainer should be hired instead.
A common misunderstanding about dogs is that they are dirty animals. But contrary to popular belief dogs are very clean animals. Dogs have a natural tendency to never do their “business” in the area where they eat, sleep, and play unless they absolutely have to. In the past decade or so, many dog trainers have taken these natural tendencies and applied them to their dog training efforts. Please read on to understand how you to can capitalize on your dogs natural instincts and help speed up your dog obedience training.
Dogs are pack animals, so that means they are naturally geared to live in a pack of other dogs, or humans. When you first get your new dog, you want to establish yourself at the pack leader. You are the one in charge in the pack, not him. The quicker your new dog realizes you are the pack leader, you’ll see quicker and easier results from your dog obedience training methods.
Clicker training your dog is a simple, easy and harmless way to get your dog to obey. This is a simple gadget that makes a metallic click sound when pressed. How you use it is to click the device at the precise moment that your dog correctly does what is asked of him.
For example if you want your dog to sit, you give the “SIT” command and click the device at the precise moment that his backside hits the floor.
Many dog owners find that their efforts toward training their pet are greatly aided by the use of a training collar. There are many types of collars available and each employs a different mechanism meant to guide your pet, restrain him or discourage bad or disobedient behavior. Some training collars can harm a dog if they are not used appropriately or are the wrong size; so, you should research training collars thoroughly before choosing one and consult with a training expert if you are unfamiliar with how to use a chosen collar. Some common dog training collars are: the prong collar, the Halti, the Gentle Leader, the choke collar and the electronic collar.

If your dog has not received adequate dog obedience training, you could be experiencing a variety of different problems associated with its ownership. These can include excessive barking, destruction and chewing, jumping up or rushing guests or strangers, aggressive behavior toward people or other animals, food aggression or a variety of other serious issues. More basic issues could be difficulties in getting him or her to walk on a leash, come or stay.
When your dog displays any of these behaviors, the feelings that can be caused include severe embarrassment and frustration. These feelings can be overcome by proper dog training.
For the new dog owner there is nothing quite as frustrating as potty training a dog. Teaching your dog that she needs to go outside when she needs to go to the bathroom is what house training is all about. It will take a little time but if you are patient with your new four legged friend she will soon do her business outside.
The first thing you will need to do is realize that punishing your dog is not the best way to get them to do what you want them to. Most dogs relieve themselves in the house because they don’t know any better. Many times they will actually wait outside patiently until you let them in and then relieve themselves because that is what they are used to. Catching them in the act and giving a firm “No” and then taking them outside works best if this is the case. Rubbing their nose in it and yelling at them can actually make the problem worse because your dog will come to fear you instead of learning from her mistakes.
