You are a proud owner of a pitbull puppy. Congrats. It could not have been an easy choice for you to get a pitbull with all the negative press they seem to get. At this early stage your pitbull puppy training is absolutely critical.

Once all the excitement of having a new pet at home is over, your new best friend will inevitably misbehave. Do you have a plan in place on how to deal with the misbehavior? Many new dog owners never take the time BEFORE they actually bring their new puppy home to inform themselves about various training methods.

My point is you need to have a well coordinated plan in place when training your pitbull puppy. If not he will chew everything he can get his mouth on from your furniture to shoes to plants. Remember your new best friend is getting adjusted to his new environment and it can be stressful on him too. The key to training your new puppy is patience and consistency.

Pitbull puppy training starts with choosing a training method that works best for you and the puppy. There are several aspects to properly train a pitbull or any dog for that matter. Your method will have to touch on crate training, potty training, obedience training, house training and leash training at a minimum. A slip up in one area can set back progress in other areas. They are interconnected and must be used correctly to have the desired positive outcome.

If you are an expert dog trainer this all makes sense to you but if you are not, it can be overwhelming. It is very simple either you train your dog or he will train you. Whatever you do, do not attempt to train your puppy on your own without help. The results will be nothing short of disastrous.

There are two options available for your pitbull puppy training either hire a professional trainer (can get very expensive but worth it if you have the money) or get one of the better online dog training programs.

I highly recommend The Secrets To Dog Training online if you are looking for a cheaper alternative. You get step by step instructions of the various puppy training tips.  A happy puppy makes for a very happy owner.
