Raised many Bulls myself and almost all are a handful as pups due to there energy levels and tenacious drive .. One must realize that in reality the Bull was a working dog and one used on Saxon and American Farms for many years and it served many purposes beyond just protecting the farm and family . Its said they were the best Nannies and I think a properly raised one still is such from my experiences .
When dealing with a puppy that bites , one has to realize that this practice relates to basic learning and this is part of the hunting instinct all dogs share ... You can scream and shout no but in a sense that should be the last resort , logically your dog will most likely respond to a sharp pitch in voice as mother or siblings will yelp in regards to such action .. Last but least dont forget that in reality many pups have to have dominance displayed over them in order to get the picture .. Its not cruel its just the reality of a pack and this you are a part of and formed when you got your pup ...
Others note the use of chew toys and with a pit one must purchase the best and not be cheap .. Kongs are a great toy for chewing and anxiety , especially when a pup is left alone ... I fill them with Peanut butter or Treats just before leaving a pup alone for an extended time ...
Have fun and enjoy what could be considered teething like a Great White ...........

A K9 officer that i used to know would jerk his dog off occasionally. He said it made him a more obedient dog. i think i'll stick with him not listening occasionally.And a possible unnatural amorous attachment to your canine companion.

But doesn't it have the singular disadvantage of confusing the dog with the command "Come!"?? cn

Plus when he got to a crime scene, explaining why the dog kept rolling over and getting a boner as a response to each order might have been hard to explain

12ga shotgun should teach him, then you will not have to worry about the lawsuit when he bites somebody for real.

Actually, the dog was amazing. i saw him call off a cat one night when we were just fucking around in the alley behind the PD. We were alerted to it's presence by the dog and the officer gave him the attack command. The dog chased it and just as he was about to catch it, the officer called him off mid lunged. The dog (Jacko) turned his head and barrel-rolled over the cat because he had already launched himself.
i was absolutely in awe. When the dog came back to us i asked the officer how he trained him so well. That's when i found out about their special relationship lol.
Sidenote: He called the dog off not because of liability or care for the cat. He had no clue where that cat had been or what diseases it might carry.

I need my dogs to respond like that but I've never had to resort to beastiality to get them to be that obedient! But whatever works for him I guess...........
I guess most men would do whatever the wife wanted if a few daily handjobs were guaranteed for good behavior.

Here's the secret....
Dogs are pack animals and understand the pecking order in their pack. You need to be the "alpha" figure in your pack. When you tell your dog "NO", that dog MUST STOP WHAT IT"S DOING OR YOU MAKE IT STOP. You can't be lazy, this is the problem with dog owners, they tell the dog "NO", but when the dog continues they do nothing about it. The dog must be disciplined at that time of the mistake to understand the command "NO". When you can get that dog to understand the command "NO", you can have a "fine tuned animal"! Train that dog too, they need that attention and it helps with the "alpha" relationship.
The reward system is a joke, in the animal world when a lower ranking pack animal fucks up the Alpha animal bites his ass to let him know he fucked up, not give it a treat. The Alpha disciplines the lower ranking pack animal to teach it, not hurt it. When you can establish this kind of relationship (the Alpha role)with your dog, only then will you have success in training. And when I say discipline I don't mean beat your dog, but a pinch on the ear should do the job when a puppy.
I could go on forever, my father was a professional dog trainer.
Good Luck...

Dominance theory was debunked years ago. Rudolph Schenkel was the original researcher who developed the model based on a pack of wolves. He studies wolves in zoos from 1930 to 1940. He noticed (and was correct) that when you bring a bunch of unrelated wolves and food is scared, they will fight, sometimes to do death. The Alpha roll was based on the dominate wolf killing the weaker one when it would bite the weak wolf in the neck and pin it to the ground. The problem was when he took this research and applied it to wolves in the wild and even domesticated dogs.
In the wild, wolves are in "packs" but nothing like in a zoo. These are family packs, where the mother and farther wolves come together, mate, and together take care of their pups and guide them through life's dangers. During a hunt, wolves often split and rejoin several times, so the "alpha" can change at any moment. They work through trust and cooperation. Fights are far less common and when they do happen, its short little squabbles between siblings. Nothing like the death matches found in zoos.
Modern training, be it with birds, tigers, bears, killer wears, and even domesticated dogs & cats uses Operant Conditioning, where by each choice the animal makes is assigned a probability. Through positive reinforcement you increase the probabilities of behaviors you like and decrease behaviors you dislike. You don't need to yell, hit, or do anything mean as these would be counter productive. They ruin the trust and bond you have with your dog. It's a myth that dogs only want to please you. In reality, dogs live in the moment and only do what is rewarding to them. By you using food and toys as rewards, they will be far more likely to *want* to listen to you.

If you want to teach advanced tricks, look into Marker Training or Clicker Training. I made the switch a few months ago when I was teaching my dog tricks like "close the door." Initially I did it by saying marker words like "Yes" and "Good Girl" but by switching to a clicker she learned the trick in half the time. So now, click = treat every time, no exceptions. Where as Good Girl and Yes mean she gets a treat sometimes, but not every time. I usually only need the clicker for the first couple of minutes while I'm teaching her a new command. After she knows the command I go back to voice commands and phase out the clicker completely. You don't have to use a clicker, you can use a pen, flashlight, snap your fingers, etc.

Youre gonna have to make sure he is getting a lot of excercise and play time . when they get bored they get destructive that's just putbulls. If you come home and noticed he chewed up things don't punish him. Only when you catch him in the act its ok to check the behavior that's how hell learn that its not ok ...
One of my dogs love tennis balls , the other one loves to play tug of war ...you have to find what your dog likes and occupy his down time with it so he won't chew your shit up
It takes patience to train pitbulls but in the end its all worth it they are the best/most loyal breed of dog imo
And they have funny personalities.
