Top 10 Dog Training Mistakes
- I would respectfully suggest you read a couple of books and watch some videos on raising and training dogs. Also, I recommend two TV shows, "The Dog Whisperer" with Cesar Millan on the National Geographic Channel, and "It's Me or the Dog," with Victoria Stillwell, on Animal Planet. Both programs are very instructive and often deal with the issues you raise here. Good luck!
- My dog is a staffordshire bull terrier, people say she looks like she has pitbull in her but i think shes a ' american staffordshire terrier' and i used to have the same problem as you.
1: Buy him a Harness. defiantly, then he wont pull because you have control over his body.
2: Say 'No' and hold his mouth for about 3 seconds make sure he can breath tho, then pass him a chew toy.
3: try and bribe him with something better like his own food, he shouldn't be allowed to reach for human food tho, so don't keep food lieing about in his way.
good luck.

Bob - every time i see a dog question your answer about cesar millan or what ever his name is, all the time its like you just copy and paste it. your not helping your adding to the problem. people dont have time to read books some times this is why they ask questions on here. - 1- When you walk your dog, get him this great thing- its called a gentle leader. It goes around their head and muzzle, not for restrainment- just a harness, and it keeps them from pulling.
2- when your dog bites you, ignore him and walk away. Come back a little later and play with him some more, but if he does it just walk away. He'll get the message after a few tries. And if he starts playing with you without biting hard- reward him with treats.
3-dont leave it where he can find it- and if he does, act commanding. If he growls, repremand him with a loud noise, smiliar to a growl. - 1)I say use a special leash i have seen used before i'm not sure where to find it but here you go it goes around him head and whenever you pull in a different direction he will feel uncomfortable but it WILL NOT
hurt him.If you can't find one of those then use a harness those help too!
2)Make a high pitched squealing noise or make a lot of racket it will distract him and he won't ignore you!
3)Everytime he graps people food take away from all of the people in your house which means you just put him in a room with no people until he stops whining or scratching at the door etc. this will make him put down the food and concentrate on getting near you again!Hope I helped!
I have a pit myself! - 1. prong collar
2. pinch his lip against his teeth and say no bite-every time
3. teach leave it-put him on a leash and put a treat in front of him, when he goes for it jerk the leash and say leave it! Keep doing this until you have it closer and closer until you can put it on his paw and he won't touch it. That way if anything gets in the floor you can tell him to leave it, it could be human medicine or something dangerous to him so would be a good thing to teach. - Here is a list of things u should buy for your dog:
A chew toy
A harness
Small sized treats for training
Whenever your dog growls yell a VERY VERY VERY loud NO!!!
When your playing with your dog and he mouths or bites a little bit SCREAM: OW!!! and turn around wait ten seconds then start playing again
P.S. do not spank ur dog or kennel him as punishment
HOPE I HELPED!! - firstly try a harnes and short lead or a half choke chain (i dont like them but they work) or a halti muzzle which controls the head and clips to collar for added control and is purely for control NOT muzzeling.
unfortunatly theres no play bite with dogs a bite is a bite. i actually bit my dog back till he cried when he was little and he dont bite any more, thats what wild dogs to disipline others.
the food thing, your grabbing for it he thinks its a game. tell him to leave , drop or off and if he does it take it away at same time as saying no. if this dont work you may need a spray collar or rattle bottle. both these reinforce the no comand as they dont like it and stop doing it. you can also try having him on a lead and putting treat down and telling him to leave, if he dont leave yank him sharply back saying 'leave' in a firm tone everytime he goes for tit until he stops. eventually he will sit looking at you basically asking if he can have it. if you drop something at this point say leave and he should ignore it and reward him with his treats.
it may be nesasary to get his bits off to drop the testosterone levels.
it will time and continued training and keeoing up with the same commands each time and not confusing him with different words for same command.
not trying to be funny but it also sounds like he has never seen you as number 1 leader ie pack leader. you need to regain leadership.

you are welcome to mail me at tilliandzeus@yahoo.com - dude. you should watch dog whisperer.Ceaser answers all your problems with ease, hes not like "have a perfect dog in 10 min" he explains behavior and shows you how to work with dogs.really good :)
1. the best thing is a choke chain. im not saying this because he is a pit, but because they usually have lots of energy and strength. and when your walking him , dont just pull pull PULL!!! instead use just a quick gentle pull. like as fast as tapping someone on the shoulder.choke chains represent an alpha dog biting the neck. not hard but just a reminder as if saying "hey im the boss, you better listen to me. which answers your next question.
2. He is biting you playfully because, he just wants to play. but if he nips you hes saying" this is my place , and you better remember that" next time he bites you (playfully) just give a high pitched squeel. I know that sounds wierd but just picture as when there puppys and they play. if one plays to hard they"ll squeel, there way of saying "stop , it hurts". after that , turn your back on him until he calms down.
3. Hes not food aggressive, just showing dominance over the food "this is mine, so dont even think about touching it." You need to start being the "pack leader" as ceaser says. Like the wolf pack, the alpha demands respect and if your not it your dogs just gonna walk all over you. Just start showing more dominance over all your stuff. And when you tell him no say it firm with high energy. Everything must be done with high energy. walking him, feeding him, everything.
I suggest you start watching the dog whisperer, everything will make sense, and fall into place, it did for me :)
hope I helped! - 1. There is a leash that you could but at any pet stores that has a handle for your hand and something to clip on to your dogs collar and whenever your dogs pulls the leash grow longer cause it has a rope connected to where your handle is and where your dogs clip on thingy is and if you think your dog is going to far there is a button that you can push that locks it
2. You can buy a muzzle
3.When you eat if you have a doggy door you can push him out of it and then put its cover over it or you could buy your dog its own bed by where you eat but not in the same room and train it so whenever you say PLACE it will go to its bed which is its own personal place that we should not have any thing do do with
