Training

We adopted a 2 year old female pit who was an owner surrender. She had been spayed just a few days prior. She was somewhat leash trained and reported to be housebroken. She knew sit and shake and was the unicorn of the shelter as she was okay with cats. She was a breeze the first few days. We developed a feeding and walk schedule. She is only crated for 8 hours while we are at work and was sleeping in a dog bed in our room at night. However it seemed once she got confident walks became intense pulling at all times.

My pup Abita is a big brain. But not really. I once was training her to stand next to me while on walks and never wander off. So she followed like I said... but didn't move when a tree was in front of her. It reminds me of World Of Warcraft following mechanics-she kept on moving, and never stopped... even in front of trees. Or she would be chasing my German Shepherd, Nala, and bump her head on a table, then do it again, and again, and so on. big brain abilities.

i have a 10 month old pitbull. at home his loving and acts like a baby and listens well, but as soon i take him out for a walk he goes into another world he just tries with all his might to pull towards dogs in other yards that bark at him i try to stop him but he tries to bite me. i think he thinks im a dog  when i try to pull him away, please help i need him to just ignore the dogs that are barking at him and just walk peacefully

I have a lab mix and we think she is part pit. She is very loveable but also quite skiddish when it comes to repremand but in other ways she acts as if your repremands didn't even exist. She's very strange. So there is not a lot that she responds well to. She has gotten into the habbit of harassing my other dog who is 5. Roxie, can not eat drink, snack or sleep without Faith (the pup) bothering her. I don't want to kennel Faith all day long but I don't know how to get her to settle down. She responds to her name when she feels like it. I'm so frustrated and I don't know what to do.

I own a beautiful 9 month old, 65 pound pit bull. I rescued him when he was 4 month old and he lives with me and my children and grand children. We sociallized him immeduiately with children and other dogs and he does very well with them.

I have a 3 year old pitbull that no matter what we do we cant keep in our backyard during potty and play time. We have a 7ft fence so she was jumping the neighbors fence. We then ran the 7 ft along their fence and she learned to climb the tree by the fence. So my husband cut the trees. Then she chewed through the fencing on the gate and climbed through. We doubled fenced the gate and then most recently she has begun going under the fence! We don't know what else to do.

Hi all!

First post. I became I big fan of Pit Bulls after my daughter rescued a brindle male from a shelter over a year ago.  I was skeptical at first but the more I learned about the breed and the more I saw him and saw how devoted, loyal and loving he is to my daughter I was won over.

He is almost two, smart, knows basic commands, and housebroken.... well that is until recently.
