How to Correct a Hard Headed Dog

[@brileygabriel4949]

I've got an American Bull dog. This is the third one that I have owned. They ALL have that stubborn streak! They are very food motivated though, so that helped a little. The thing I worked on the most is recall with my dogs. As hard as it was, I NEVER call them to me to punish them. If I need to discipline them, I go to where they are and get them. The "come" command has only good connotations for them with me...Food or love. That worked well. They eventually came to listen to ME like Marines, but my wife was a different story....

[@onewapani]

Your comment was very valuable to me. Thank you. I just got a 2 mo pitbull puppy 2 weeks ago. The most defiant, headstrong, look at you like, "TF you think? I'm standing right here. What are you going to do about it?" dog I've EVER owned. I'm 55 and have had German shepherds, Great Danes, Labradors, on down to Shih tzus, Basset hounds, beagles, shar-peis, dalmatians, and lhasa apsos. I've been able to train my new pitbull , Nala, to come, stop, sit, go back, etcetera. The only problem I have now is recall. Of course, she has no choice if I have her on the leash. When I say come, she'll come because she knows what I'm saying. If she's not on that leash though, she looks at you like you're stupid and I dare you to come get me.

YESSSSSSS! consistency is the MAIN agenda of the training game. I am terrible with my Bully/Herding canine and keeping the training schedule up. I have spent money on outside trainers. I learned it does not stick, unless I stay consistent. She knows when that collar is off its ACTING out time.🤣Thanks for the reminder.

[@Cat-gy5zf]

Thanks for this honest & practical advice. My bully breed boy (also more terrier) has this same stubborn attitude. I've probably also let him get away with too much. He listens so well...but only when he feels like it. I definitely have more work to do too. Mine is almost 3yrs now. I've worked with him everyday since 3 months. I also need him to listen better. I feel better after seeing you here. Thanks!

@@johnnybrist6699 humans kill way more people every year than pitbulls. But we are still allowed to keep making more.

[@jayvelazquez8765]

Good way to make your dog dislike what your trying to accomplish.. wouldnt do this

[@zonepistolez9944]

Sometimes we do what we know. I tell my dog once, then grab their arms and put em in a down. They don't like it, neither do I if I say something and get ignored. My dogs chugs are very suspicious and they are not good at it. But once they get to know how you work, things get better. Just need obedience.

[@weedhigh2564]

How about off leash? How does it work? I teach my dogs obedience without the leash, they understand the big difference when the leash is off or on and when its on all commands have wiggle room but offleash it all has to be instant or the leash comes back on. They dont really like beeing on the leash because they have loads of freedom right from the get go, now if they abuse it there are consequences but if you do it like me, with a mentor dog and you start early enough, these things are a breeze.

Find out what toy he likes play with him with it and when y'all go for walks take it with you and play with him a bit on your walks this gets the dog a bit comfortable with unfamiliar environments. I've done this with my American bulldog from a pup now everytime we leave the house he wants to walk with the toy in his mouth and I have been doing this for 4 years now and he still walks with a toy in his mouth and he's extra comfortable on walks

[@jermainewalters1620]

I don’t think you ever need a pronged collar. My Presa mix, alpha of his litter, was/is super hardheaded but now does everything I say/signal, walks without leash, everything. Proper treat training(you start with a treat, petting, and excitement every time. You quickly begin to reduce treats given until zero but always have one and be consistent with the petting and excitement) and good timely 2 finger poke to the ribs with your choice of word from when they’re a puppy. After months of consistency no more poke and the word has the same effect. Main thing is to never let them do something as a puppy because it’s cute or innocent that you don’t want them to do as a big ass dog. He doesn’t seem to be using it wrong but it can easily be misused and like he said when it’s removed they think freedom sometimes. I got mind control over mine.

[@ike21983]

This is your opinion. Your dog may not need prong. Your method works for YOUR dog. You can't speak for other dogs, unless you own the dog or at the very least train with them frequently.

[@jermainewalters1620]

@@ike21983 the key words in my initial statement were “I don’t think”. Now I see how you could miss the first three words but that is the indicator that my opinion is coming up…I’ve trained several of my dogs and other peoples dogs as well and never needed one. You made your statement as if what I said is my opinion but the prong opinion is fact, I’m confused. I’m just giving an alternative to potentially harming your dog, which the gentleman in the video did say to be careful

@@jermainewalters1620 As I said, and I quote, it's YOUR opinion. That means what you wrote is most likely not a solution to this person's dog. No matter how many you've trained without it.

[@jermainewalters1620]

@@ike21983 why would you state the obvious? How do you know that this is not a solution for their dog? Did they say in a prior video? Or just a blanket assumption with no merit? If you read what I wrote I did say misuse was a potential problem just like the guy in the video did so I guess I’m confused on why you would state that obvious part too? He said it could be bad, I echoed that it could be bad and gave an alternative, you echoed what we both said while taking issue with the offer if alternative method. If all three of us said it has the potential for misuse then what’s the problem with a solution that doesn’t have that risk????

[@ike21983]

@@jermainewalters1620 Your opinion on whether this dog doesn't need one tool or another is just that. I don't have any assumptions or opinions on HIS dog because I DON'T know HIS dog to make such opinions on what the dog needs or not. You on the other hand, trained so many that you offer an opinion without any prior knowledge of this dog. It doesn't matter if you don't THINK it needs one. I assume the creator can use a prong the right way if needed. If you're going to offer training opinions, post videos of you training a truly hard headed strong dog without a prong. Post video not your opinions.

I got a 5 month old Pit and I decided to not do any physical discipline on her. She is Definitely spoiled bc I let her get away with a lot of stuff. Funny thing is, I know she understands my commands. She is just choosing to ignore me. 😄 (Just like he said). In the past I would foolishly hit my dogs but now, after dealing with so many "dog dumb" @$$ human beings, I know that that is just abuse. If you shower your dog with affection and attention on the regular, then your tone of voice, your vibe and your depriving them of pets and attention is enough discipline. (Pushing the meal or snack time back a little bit can also work on stubborn dogs as long as you communicate what you're dissatisfied with right before you send them on their way without a bite - DON'T starve them) The main reason I don't do physical discipline is bc I don't want to shake her confidence and teach her defeat. I also, don't want to betray her trust. Respect is good but trust is everything and certain moments can make a relationship irreparable. I Love my lil b.
