I know alot of people don’t agree with hitting a dog in a mean way what so ever and neither do I…my pup would growl, bark, and bite anything and everything…bc she dint get enough time with her litter to learn certain things she should have as a 4-9 weeks old pup..if she growled or didn’t anything I didn’t agree with I’d give a light tap on the nose to get her attention(same way her momma would snap at her) and in the lowest voice possible tell her NO or OUCH..like her momma would do if she was still in the litter. You have to be the alpha but not use excessive force..some dogs are just doomed from bad breeding..doesnt mean they need to thrown away though….it take time and alot of training to have a pitbull in general unless theyre a master of great breeding… if you’ve never had one before and you think you’re in over you’re head then it might be better to give it away to someone who is more experienced in the breed and temperament of them..or if you really want to be a pit owner and take pride in that then do alot of research…I would go get the book pitbulls for dummies..sounds cliche but it will help you to appreciate the breed, know the history, and know everything with training so you can help yourself ad help the dog in the meantime. They take time and training bc of their intelligence and just natural instincts….make sure to take them on walks or runs as much as possible, always gives alot of praise when they do something good because they thrive to please people…and give then boundaries(if they have full control of the house when theyre small then theyll have even more when theyre bigger) plus a schedule of feeding time, walking, and playing times etc etc..it’s alot of work but the rewards of the love and bond they give you is much greater
