How to Select Pit Bull Puppies?

Once you have your pit bull puppy home, you will start to develop its personality the way you want. If you know which sex you want, ask the breeder to put the other sex away to give you time to observe all the males or all the females.

Don’t pick a particular pit bull puppy just because it is the cutest! There are easy tests you can do yourself to help you determine the best choice for you.

Watch them to see which pit bull puppy is watching you, making direct eye contact with you. Take a couple steps backwards away from the puppies and look closely at who moves with you.

Next, take a few more steps from the group and clap your hands, snap your fingers or verbally call to encourage the puppies to follow.

Open your arms in a wide fashion and call to the puppies in a higher pitched voice. Again, observe the followers. These pups would be the ones interested in human beings, thus making good companion dogs.

Narrow your choices down to 2 or 3 from those couple of little tests. Next, take each puppy in your hands. Balance it’s weight by supporting it under the rear and on the chest.

Observe the pup’s reactions at this point. Is the pup struggling to break free, growling or showing it’s teeth. These are negative signs in inexperienced hands and definitely need to be corrected very early in the pup’s life.

If the pup is comfortable and relaxed, maybe even licking your face or hands, then those are positive signs and those of a more submissive pit bull puppy.

An Introduction to Train a Pit Bull Puppy

Your pit bull puppy learns at a very early age to be an acceptable member of the family and reliable companion dog. You must keep an open mind when dealing with your new puppy.

Patience is crucial but you must also think about the method that will best work for your specific puppy’s personality. Just as all people are different in character, so are puppies. What works with one pup may need to be adjusted a bit to suit your own puppy.

The important thing to remember is to discipline the puppy for an inappropriate behavior and love them to pieces the moment the behavior is altered.

Just as the human child goes through various stages of development, so does a puppy as it matures towards adulthood. (ie. infant, toddler, elementary, adolescence, puberty and finally adulthood.)

Good luck, have fun with your new puppy. The first five months will go by very quickly so start as soon as possible down that road of mutual “RESPECT” between you and your puppy.
