Types Of Dog
Obedience Training
Available For Your
Pit Bull Terrier
More and more Pit Bull owners are realizing the
benefits of training their dogs. There are several
reasons why an owner would like to train their
pet, other than just the obvious housebreaking
which is mandatory. A pet which is well trained, no
matter the breed, is a pet liked and admired by any
and all that come in contact with him. All pets, and
certainly the Pit Bull, can not only benefit
themselves, but their entire breed by making a good
showing around company.
Responsible Pit Bull owners are now seeing the light
that the only way to combat the negative attack
campaign the media has launched against our
misunderstood breed is to make sure our pets make
a good showing no matter where they go.
As a responsible Pit Bull owner, you have several
training options available for your use. Which
method you choose to use for training your Pit Bull is
solely left up to your own discretion. It is highly
recommended that before you train your Pit Bull that
you are up to the task at hand, and fully understand
the training method you choose to use.
After The Fact Discipline: This type of training is not
recommended because it is not effective. It has been
used for correcting behavior after an act has
happened, rather than focusing on the prevention of
the act.
Clicker Training: This type of training is a method of
teaching and reinforcing positive behaviors with a
motivational style. The goal of clicker training is to
teach the dog obedience while avoiding harmful
punishments.
Eclectic Training Method: Combines several
different training methods, while emphasizing the
method which seems to deliver the best
behavioral results. This method uses the different
methods to reinforce each other.
Koehler Method: This method has been deemed a
heavy handed style of dog training which to many is
simply too harsh. This method combines physical
correction with the after-the-fact training style.
Lure Training: Lure training is great for nearly all
dogs. It uses something that the dog likes, such as a
toy or a special treat to teach commands. Over time,
the lure i s slowly removed from the training. Lure
training is great for puppies as well as timid or dogs
which are difficult to train. This method of training
often succeeds where other fail.
Play Training: Play training is a motivational training
method which takes two of the dog’s primary drives,
play and prey, and combines it into a fun filled
training session which the dogs love. You know your
Pit Bull better than anyone, so it is up to you how
you’d like to go about training him. By picking a
method which you think would appeal to you both,
you’ll insure a successful experience in training your
Pit Bull.
