Here is my info:
You need to start training at a very early age. Right now, today or tommorow you need to start training. And 24/7 you need to be training in some way. For example, when he barks correct it, and you will be training him not to bark. One of the most important things to correct with a pit bull is biting. DO
NOT ALLOW HIM TO BITE
ANYTHING OTHER THAN HIS
OWN TOYS AND POSSESIONS.
To ensure your dog is a good example towards the human society, you need to start basic
obedience training immedietly. Start on sit, and practice it many times everyday. Anytime Dakota wants attention, make him 'sit' because you give the attention to him. If you do not make him 'sit' or 'lie down' before you give him attention he will get the idea that he is the dominant dog and he will start to "beat up" your family and your other dog. To ensure you are the 'dominant' one, is simple. Just make him 'sit' or 'lie down' before giving him attention. 'Heel' is also a very important command when it comes to
pit bulls. In public, you want your pit bull to make a good image on the breed, so a dog walking by your side on a loose leash is the best example there could be. Start training 'Heel' today or tommorow. Bring him outside on a leash and everytime he walks by your side on a loose leash, give him a good treat that he likes (popular treats for puppies are cheese, hot dog, or even their own food, which might keep them interested for a little bit because they get fed cups of it everyday. Feed them something they only get when they obey you).
Get him used to the leash, too. Don't let him bite it and only let him play with the leash when you say it's okay.
Pit Bulls, in history, were bred to chase down bulls that got out of their pasture and lock their jaws onto the bulls nostrils. Pit Bulls, because of this history, are very powerful breeds. Some people claim that "Pit Bulls are unpredictable" which is clearly not true. But make sure you supervise him very closely when he is around other dogs, and don't let him around unfamiliar people. If the other dog were to attack your pit bull, your pit bull would be blamed just simply because 'he's a pit bull'. So it's very important to avoid letting him around unfamiliar dogs that are displaying dominant or challenging body language.
Socialization is extremely important in pit bulls. Let him around other dogs, only dogs you know and are not displaying any domiant or challenging body language. There is such thing as 'dog play' and 'fighting'. Some people find it hard to tell these two apart, so, just to be careful, do not allow any rough play or biting the other dog
AT ALL. Only allow play that does
NOT involve teeth
AT ALL. Socialization with other dogs is not the only important kind. Socilaztion with people is VERY important. Attacking a person or even biting a person will result in your being sewed and your dog dead. Bring him to friends' houses a lot, bring him to town, and anywhere that allows dogs and has people that you could ask to pet your dog. If you see ANY aggresive behavior, even play biting, correct it IMMEDIETLY. Play biting with a pit bull could result in powerful biting when the pit bull gets only, even if it was, at one point, just play biting.
Be
VERY presistant with socialization and training. Start socialization when the puppy is 8-12 weeks old and keep being presistant, DAILY socialization with different people, even if its just a trip around the neighborhood asking people to pet your dog because you are socializing him. Never stop socialization. Although it is very important in your pit bulls first year of life, keep it going, although you don't need to be really strict about it anymore after your pit bull is over 1 year old, keep having different people pet him. When you allow people to pet him, make him sit first and keep him calm and bite-free until the person is done petting him. Don't let him get up until you tell him 'Okay'.
Keep training very presistant as well, for puppies 8-15 weeks old do three 10 minute sessions a day. Keep them fun and full of treats. Puppies 4-6 months old need three 10-15 minute sessions a day. Puppies 6-12 (1 year) months old need three-four 20 minute sessions a day. Puppies 1 year and older need two 25-30 minute sessions a day. Keep training fun, presistant and only long enough to where your puppy wants more, so the next day he is excited and happy to start the next training sessioin.
