Training for aggresive dogs?
Anyone know where to take a pit bull bull dog mix for training. Specificlly aggressive behavior. He doesnt need to know sit lay he knows all that he can even use the ice maker. He just gets aggressive.
Pit Bulls are not EVER supposed to be human aggressive. They are not "all like that" and it is UNACCEPTABLE for a dog of ANY breed to be human aggressive.
I highly suggest contacting several well-known animal behaviorists in your area, preferably pit-savvy ones, who can successfully evaluate your dog to see where his triggers lie. Dogs don’t just act aggressive without a trigger unless they have a very poor temperament.
If he is not neutered, do so, for it may help as well.
Contact a good trainer in addition to the behaviorists. Be a responsible owner and ALWAYS supervise your dog. Never allow him to roam.
You need to start training your dog so that you are alpha. Make him work for EVERYTHING. Please look into NILF training with him, command respect, not through violence, but through positive reinforcement training.
Good luck.

They’re all like that. I suggest shock collar with a prong collar, and a muzzle.

people who obviously don’t know anything about the breed and want to lump them all in the same category shouldn’t bother answering this question. that said… you need to make sure your dog knows who is the boss and not let him bully you or get the upper hand, you have to be firm and consistent with a pit (of any breed) and if you are, you will have the best,most well adjusted,loyal friend in the world. if not..you will end up putting him down for aggression issues. its really up to the owner
although i will say, the mixes aren’t as reliable as the purebreds. every mix i have seen has had a bit of an aggression issue so keep your eyes open but keep a firm hand on the dog.
