well i guess i start off with a bit of background. i have a 2 year old pit bull she is my best friend. i got out of the military after being shot up and i had a friend that had a female pit pregnate i got of of the puppies. well when the mother went into labor she only liked a few hours after puppies got to feed for there first time after she had died but sence i had nothing but time i bottle fed the runt every two hours all the way till she was 7 weeks and i got her on can dog food. she has grewn to 68 lb. sweet temper and i spend around 15-20 minutes 6 times a day training her she and i both love it.
well about a month ago i got a lab know for recueing animals in the area i get alot dropped off and rehomed around here tend to keep the pits and rotties scared someone will fight them i got 6 of them now all with there own kennels and everyone of them with time with me training and jogging with them.
well i was walking past the lab after feeding her < burban the female pit i love so much follows me everwere even to town to eat and such. well after placeing the food in the labs bowl i walked past her and pet her on the head headed to feed the rest of the dogs well burban rolled under her bite and broke her leg then latched onto her neck. i yelled freeze < first comand i teach they are to stop and lay were they are no matter what> she did as comanded i sent her for time out in her corner. and got the lab up put her in my truck and took her to the vet bringing burban along so vet could tell me if there was a reason for it injury or what not. well lab lived and now i isolate burban from the other days she allways played with the males the lab first female and she attackd her never even showed any agression toward males or at the dog park in orgen never even growled at a dog.
a cop pulled me over the other day for my known lead foot. he approuched the truck and burban growled hackles on end i told her to lay and calm down she layed down hole time growling cop. had me step out and lock her inside i understand and hold no hard feeling for that. and when a freind came over to the house i have to lock her up. or she stays tence watching her mussle bunch in her back laying at my feet she will muffle growl the hole time if its an hour or 5 hours before my friend leaves she stays growling. i scauled her and put her in time out but doesnt seem to be working.
me and my friend went to the park. put a blanket down and was eating and burban layed in her lap never growling as soon as we got back to the house burban began to growl second my friends car pulled up in the drive. i am slightly stumped on why and how to brake it. in the two years of her life no one has come to the house. for the most part she has allways been around people in the city with no problems. a kid hit her with a rock in the park she just layed down < not saying i did 13 yar old kid about cried before i was done talking to him. kid said he hated pit bulls because they was meen i laughed saying who was meen the prick that throws a rock at a dog or the dog that laid down. out side the house someoen could kick her she lay down they approuch me with intent to hurt another story. it would take all her and i training to keep that person attached to there arm. at the house i tell her what to do she does it.
i raised german shepards as a child and allways had the roll of alpha and with burban it is the same. until my friend shows up she still lissens to me but with an edge on every comand is i say sit she will sit but not fully is i say lay she will lay with her back slightly off the ground.
i was told useing force on pit bulls doesnt work for training them. so i used time out seems to work great make her put her nose in the corner < looks funny and sweet hard to stay mad at her when she does it> or make her lay on her bad and ignore her all day.
what am i doing wrong?
