WARNING: THOSE WHO HAVE A PIT BULL BIAS NEED NOT READ ANY FURTHER.
OK, this isn't my first puppy, I've got a bitch dog now, and I've raised a few more, but I always forget the little stuff once they're full grown.
And what with all the dog lovers here, I figured I could get some decent advice.
I recently got another pit bull puppy, and I've got a few stupid questions I could use some advice on.
The problems I'm dealing with aren't new to puppies. I'm going in the right direction as far as housebreaking, but am more concerned with obediance training.
Let me begin by saying that he's 8 weeks old, and that I've had him for a week.
I'm used to leash training dogs, but it's been awhile. My main problem is that when I put the leash on him, he won't move. He just stands there. But only when outside. If he's inside, he'll run around with it and chew on it.
Outside (which is important since I'm housebreaking him), he just sits there and looks at me and whines.
My question is, am I trying to early with the obediance training? And either way, what should I do to get him used to the leash? Drag him till he's used to it? All of the other dogs have gotten used to the leash fairly quick, this is my first dog that hasn't.
Anyway, any helpfull advice would be appreciated. Thanks in adavance!
