How do you take care of a pitbull?

Answer 1

keep it up to date with its vaccines, bloodwork, exams and feed real human food. you can get a recipe from the veterinarian. do not chop its skin and sterilization is optional. they are small dogs so make sure their space is always under your control or they will slip away from you. treat him as part of the family and teach it your word for sit after he looks up at you and sits down naturally waiting for a bit of your food. teach him the basic commands especially heel. give him a name and if you are going to leave him alone all day, make sure you have someone take him for a walk at lunch time. dont tell anyone he is a pit bull. tell them he is a short haired terrier. you must buy him winter shoes and a winter sweater and never let him run out of clean cold water. buy or make him his own bed and never give him real bones. be very gentle, kind and sincere with him until he is at least 6 months old. even at 6 months his brain is still growing in size. buy all sorts or neat toys for him but only give him 2 to play with at one time. dont buy a dog if you are having a baby. bath him every week in warm water. it doesnt matter what kind of shampoo you use. make sure you clean his/her private parts well and a soaked wet towel in between baths is a must. dont use a body halter until he is very good at walking on a leash and responds to your voice and hand commands. keep everything off the counters and hide all electrical cords. never leave him alone with any other animal or child. dont use preventative flee or heart worm controls in the winter. brush his teeth at least every second day with doggie toothpaste. buy low fat, low caffeine, low sodium treats. invest in a very good nail clipper. ask the vet to show you how to clip them. take him lots of places with you but dont let anyone bother him and try not to use off leash dog parks. dont use a muzzle unless its at the vet. they love car rides but try to find a comfortable seat belt for him. dont let him swim in natural water. its a mistake to think that picking up a dog is bad. buy a large not completely closed in crate. be carefull not to step on his legs or toes and never walk up or down stairs beside him because they need to walk slightly sideways. he will have pee accidents in the house for quite a while. let him know that he can use the bathroom floor if there is an emergency. put papers there for him and get mad when he doesnt use it. take him outside for pee and poop after every meal. dont worry about walking him much until he is much older. and dont let him mix too much with older dogs because they will suddenly snap at him.

Answer 2

Real training begins at 6 months of age. Beside that, some training could be done before that. When they start eating hard food, is a good time to train them to use the outdoors for a bathroom.

Answer 3

First off a pittbull is a dog and dogs like children are a product of their raising. Dont stereotype your dog into a maneater or aggressor! Remember the smallest dogs also can be mean, or violent, but less face it you'll never read A MAN WAS ATTACKED AND KILLED BY A YORKIE OR POODLE. Poodles attack everyone, just to small to get labled!!!! So with that said my answer is Love and stable enviroment! Most important disciplin with a loving heart NEVER an angry mind!

Answer 4

At the very day of taking pitbulls specify the birthdate and after that the real age of the pitbull puppy.You sure have to understand which has been the last day the puppy had suckled.this information is especially important.Whi is it like that?The minimum age for the first vaccination is 48-50 days.Don't ever do that if you have any doubt that the dog is younger than 48 days.The mother's milk contains antibody which action is about 30 days.Choose the right place for pitbull puppy.The corridor is unsuitable.There's draught in it and the shoes stay there.You have to be equiped with a powerful dasinfecting preparation.If you have any other pets don't let them go to pitbull puppy.In the case that both mother and generation are at home and you have to take her out for a walk,when you're going to get back wipe her body with a towel soaked with some disinfectant.Wipe the mother's chest some times with a wet towel.When 30 days pass take the puppy to a vet to give it the first vaccine.Take your bottles after that.It has to be written D(Destemper) and P ( Parvovirozis). These two diseases are lethal.After the vaccine is gived you have to observe the vet's advices very strictly.Don't ever buy vaccines from accidental offices.

With patience and love you teach the pitbull to walk haltered.Dont drag and pull it. Its neck is delicate and you may breakit.Through the first thee weeks hold the dog all the time haltered while you actively walk it.The helter is the link which transfers your subcon scious and conscious intentions and feelings.They goes in the both directions.The communication is mutual.If you build this connection with the dog it'll be for life.

Step 1: tell people it's a pitbull. Step 2: Excercise! Step 3: Combat boredom. Step 4: Socialize the puppy. Step 5: Don't let them escape. Step 6: Microchip the puppy. Step 7: Treat it like a normal dog.

Like all dogs, they should be brought up with love and obedience training. When they are grown up, they could put them to another training.
