How to raise docile pitbulls.

Learning how to dominate aggressive dogs.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Pregnant Pit bull
• Pregnant small breed dog
• Closed room
• 2 Dog Pens
• Lots of patience and kindness

1. This domination you must achieve is to both the mother pit bull and to the smaller breed dog which is transmuted to the puppies. I will use a Bostian Terrier, for that is what I use.
   First the two dogs must already be friendly to each other and show no aggressions.

2. Next, you will show each dog where their individual nesting pen is located by taking the pit bull into one pen and place the bostian terrier into the other pen. The pens need to have doors that latch, be in the same room and close to each other but not touching. Provide each female with a blanket or other bedding which you will discard after the birthing process.

3. When the females start their labor, place each inside their pens with the doors open. This step is very important: the doors only stay open if you are inside the room. Do not step out of the room for one second and leave those doors open. All mother animals tend to get restless, easily agitated and can become aggressive to anything they feel is a threat during birthing.

4. Now you will observe the females as they have their babies. Talk soothingly to both mothers but do not let either out to investigate the other mother. If you are having trouble keeping one inside then simply shut the door til she calms down. Remember she is in pain.

5. Once all the puppies of both mothers have been born their mothers will be very tired. If your relationship is very strong and trusting this is the time when the momma will allow you to touch her. Close and lock one pen while you change the bedding of the other. You should refrain from touching the puppies any more than necessary for one week. The mother tends to get nervous and can snip you until you have built her trust that you will not harm her babies. Use caution bringing people into the room until the pups are walking.

6. You will keep the mothers in their separate pens until the puppies start to wander. The mothers will bark and growl at each other threw their pens as the pups grow but stern calming words help ensure they are in no danger of each other. Once this stops the mothers will start to want to be together, usually within a few days to a week. A step to help this process is take one mother out of the room. Close her pen. Take the remaining mother over to visit the absent mothers pups. Hold her to watch her reactions. Let her sniff the outside of the pen and the pups but be wary, some dogs react aggressive to other dogs pups. Swap this step and allow the other mother to come and sniff the other's pups. By doing this scents are transferred and the mothers realize they aren't going to hurt each other's pups.

7. As the pups grow so does the bond between mothers. Use your own judgement to determine when the two mothers can unite in the birthing room together with their doors open and you not in the room.
   In my situation I was able to leave their doors open within the first week. They cleaned each others pups and when the pups started walking, they nursed off both mothers. This was a big help to the pit bull who had 10 pups while the Bostian Terrier only had two pups.

Tips & Warnings

• If you are able to pull this off, you have dominated the mothers and the pups by making them live together in a peaceful environment. Both types of dogs are bully breeds and have to be trained to listen and obey. Both types are hyper and like to be the center of attention. Yet, most dogs like to be in a pack, and by allowing the two mothers to raise their pups together and eliminate any aggressive behavior from the pups, by allowing NO fighting, even play fighting that gets rough, you can ensure the beginings of a docile loving animal. I have 6 pitbulls and 3 bostian terriers who all live together in one pen. They are not allowed to fight and none have bites or scars. The pups I sold from the litters, I raised them until they were 8 weeks old, are the most loving dogs and their new owners love them dearly.
• Some dogs bite when in pain. Take caution.
• You must be a trusted person by both dogs.
• The dogs must already be friendly to each other.
• Always have a vets number handy for emergencies during pregnancy of any animal.
• This will not work if either dog has been fought.

on 12/1/2008 I've had my female pit since she was 6 months old. She's now 2 1/2 and just had her first litter of 8 pups. She's a wonderfull dog and a wonderful mother. We love our dog dearly and it's too bad that Pitbulls have such a bad rap. It's all in the way you raise them.

on 1/10/2008 I titled my article this way in order to draw attention to the pitbull name but as you see from my article I classify the Bostian Terrier in the same category to show that they too are bully breeds who if trained in the wrong way can be as violent as a pitbull. I feel the pitbulls have been treated badly far to long and wanted to show my support by what I have learned by raising them in a non-violent environment. Any dog not raised soilized with humans and other animals can turn into dangerous animals. I just hope my article shows that with the right training and socialization any dog can be allowed to live peacefully with humans.

on 12/31/2007 I totally agree with you. I have a 16 month old male pitbull who is the BIGGEST sook alive. He hasn't been raised around other dogs and behaves wonderfully around other dogs. My bf's sister has a 7 lb yorkie mix that he loves to play with. Also he's had play dates with a friends 2 month old chihuahua, and loves to play with my brothers two 9 week old puppies. I absolutely love my dog and am extremely proud of him because anyone that has come in contact with him says how he is such a beautiful and well behaved dog. The worst thing he does is jump up people when he greets them because he is such an attention seeker. I don't really like how this article singles out how to raise a docile pitbull because it should be how to raise a docile dog period. We have not raised our dog any differently than a lab and I don't think that just because he is a pitbull that he needs to be raised differently

on 12/13/2007 I have pitbull female and a female chow mix and a male 15 y/o lab. I got my pitbull very young. She's the most loving dog I have ever had. Lab had alot to do with that. Never had a dog fight. I'm not afraid to have anyone come in my house or yard. She's loves people and has np with other dogs. Pitbulls got a bad rap, it's to bad because it's the people that make the dog what it is. Sweet and loving or fighter. Glad they are cracking down on jerks like Vic. Hope he enjoys a cage he belongs in one.
