Socializing the Pit bulls

Socializing a Pit bull is one of an important step in pit bull training. This will require an assistant to help with one of the animals.

Have the assistant leash the dog and hold him firmly on a very short leash. After instructing the assistant to maintain control of the dog, open the pet carrier and bring the new pet out carefully.

Your dog will likely move towards the animal so be sure the assistant has the dog held tightly and be careful not to let the new pet panic and escape your grasp.

Gradually bring them closer together and let them calmly adapt to each others presence.

Repeat this step several times over the next few days and by the end of the week, these two animals should be like old chums.

Another tip to remember in socializing your pit bulls is that, while the animals most likely won’t make an instant attachment to each other, there are those special pictures perfect moments that you will want to cherish a lifetime. So keep the camera handy and loaded with film. The candid shots of training at its best provide memories that will last forever.

Few things are more fun than looking at a picture of your dog with an iguana riding around the room perched on his back and telling a little white lie that you taught the two of them to do that.
