Pitbull Puppy Training, the basic
Another thing every new pitbull puppy must learn is how to accept the collar. Learning to wear a collar is important to every pitbull, but many puppies are baffled, frightened and bewildered by this new piece of equipment. Many puppies constantly try to remove their new collar by pawing and pulling at it. For sure by getting the right pitbull training equipment will make the task much more easier.
Fit is important when choosing a collar for your new pitbull puppy. A properly fitted collar, chosen for your pitbull puppy’s size, is more likely to be comfortable and accepted. While choke collars, slip collars and training collars can be good training aids, they should never be used as a substitute for a sturdy buckle type collar. And of course that collar should have an identification tag and license attached. This identification will be vital in having your pitbull puppy returned if she becomes separated from you.
The best way to introduce the pitbull puppy to the collar is to simply put the collar on and allow her to squirm, jump, roll and paw at the color to her heart’s content. It is important to not encourage this behavior by trying to soothe the pitbull puppy, but it is just as important not to punish or reprimand the pitbull puppy. The best strategy is to simply ignore the pitbull puppy and them her work through her issues with the collar on her own. Introducing distractions, such as food, toys or playing, is a good way to get the pitbull puppy used to the color. Getting the pitbull puppy to play, eat and drink while wearing the collar is a great way to get her used to it. After a few days, most puppies will not even know they are wearing a collar.
