Pit Bulls are an intelligent breed that can be taught nearly anything, as long as they have a good trainer. Having a good trainer doesn’t necessarily mean a trainer that you hired. Many Pit Bull owners are finding that their pets not only are eager to learn, but they also gain much when they opt to train their Pit Bull themselves. Owners who opt to be their dog’s trainer will find that they enjoy spending the extra time with their beloved pet.

Many methods of training exist, and just which type you wish to pursue is totally up to you. There are a couple of things you will need to factor in when picking a type of training for your pet and they will depend on what you wish to accomplish and how much time you can devote to the task.

One of the training methods that began to rise in popularity over the years would be whistle training. Rather than use the spoken word, this type of training uses a whistle to give the dog commands. Each task is allotted a certain amount of blows, or pips, on the whistle.

The first thing you should do is pick out a good quality whistle with which to give out the commands if you would like to attempt whistle training for your Pit Bull. Using your own mouth to do the whistling isn’t a good idea. Aside from your pitch varying, your Pit Bull may not hear you if you needed to give him a command from a distance. Going with quality metal whistle is still the best option because of these reasons.

Coming when he is called is one whistle command that you can teach your dog. Using his feeding time as the starting ground would be a good way to do this. At mealtime, give two short bursts on the whistle as you put his food down. For about three weeks, you should continue doing this at every mealtime. Don’t forget to use the exact number of bursts on the whistle.

Even when your Pit Bull is not expecting a meal, try blowing the same command once you have made it for about three weeks with the mealtime whistling. When he does come, you would want to reward him with a nice snack and a reassuring rub so be sure to have a nice treat for him at the ready.

Useful when taking your dog to the park or anywhere in the outdoors is this type of training. By whistle training your Pit Bull, you’ll know that wherever he is, he can hear you and come at your beck and call.
