Use lots of positive reinforcement such as praise, treats and attention. Training takes time and requires consistency. Many people believe that negative reinforcement dosen't stick in a dogs head.

I would take them to the training program at Petsmart because pitbulls can be sort of tricky. They can be stubborn, well all dogs can be stubborn, and Petsmart's training program works very well by training the dog how to stay calm and respectful to its owner.

You must be patient and calm. Reward the dog when he does what is expected and do not punish them for mistakes.

Pitbulls get a bad reputation for being aggresive. When in reality it has more to do with how they are raised. Make sure you show your pit lots of love and affection. It is also important to have them around a lot of other people that will show them love and affection.
