Speak the Language Your Dog Understands
Every dog instinctively obeys authority. This can be the alfa-leader of a dog band or a human. The instinct makes the dog find out the hierarchy relations in a given community. So when they are aware of their hierarchy status, it brings them piece and makes their world more stable. Entering a new community, a dog automatically defines the leader.
To show the pit bull its place in the family, to give instructions of what is allowed and what is prohibited is not the owner's - the leader's task. During this process, it is very important to foresee the pit bull's actions.
Modern Pit Bull Education Principles
Let's go beyond the popular principle of
encouraging the good and punishing for the bad, lets
study other dog education methods.
As you know, the pit bulls never
use the human punishment elements, they teach the
junior community members by roaring, body language and
touching.
Note:
in a natural environment, you will never see a junior
claim for an upper position, ignored is nothing, it is
controlled instead!
"Biting" with the help of a training collar
The most effective kind of training collars for
pit bull is a choke collar. If you use it correctly, it
will be close to the biting of mother pit bull who is
teaching its pup, or a senior community member warning
against misbehaviour and finally the choke collar will
help you control the ones who claim for an upper
position.
Sprenger Training Collar
Before you use a Pitbull
prong collar, you should study all impact methods
relevant for every case when such a collar is used. They
study how the choke collar is put on right. You better
choose the ultimate link thickness, the spikes end must be
situated so that they don't harm the dog's skin.The
Sprenger collars can be divided into parts, which allows
to put them on like a necklace.
Surely you should put the
collar through the head in order not to harm its eyes.
Note:
if you see that you can easily pit on a choke collar
through your pit bull's head, this means the size of the
collar is wrong!
Usage:
Key
to success is the right usage of the choke collar.
Attach a leash to the collar, so you can combine two
most important training elements: the choke collar and
your hand.
All dogs are very
sensitive to touching, it is a natural part of their
communication. Learn to touch your dog right through
the collar to achieve difference impact. So you pit
bull will surely see you as a community leader!
The chain collar allows
you to say "No!" to misbehavior in the dogs'
language.
Please do not pull the dog
is the wanted direction by the leash, just let it
know which way is wrong, give it the movement tempo.
Using the needed impact intense you can actually
communicate with your dog. It is nit the leash that
teaches the right direction, it is the collar.
Sprenger chain collars are
recommended and licensed by authority dog
instructors and trainers. If they don't work for
you, you should find a trainer that will cope with
it or ask an expert.
Demonstration:
Most
professionals place the dog next to their left leg.
There are many theories for this. If the choke collar
is fixed firmly on the pit bull, this means there is
no certain place where you and your pit bull should
be. After you start using collars with quick release
buckles, there is no right or wrong place for it on
your dog's neck. All that counts is, the collar
shouldn't be too loose or too tight. Do not put on the
choke collar with their spikes out.
It is false that the dog
feels the collar only when the owner pulls the
leash. It picks and can harm your pit bull if you
use it wrong.
