If your share your life with a Pit Bull, you already know how wonderful they are to have around. Very loyal dogs, they form deep attachments to their people. But this doesn’t mean you can’t help strengthen your relationship, which will enrich the life you share together. The following are 3 great ways to strengthen your bond with your Pit Bull.
#1 – Learn Your Pit Bull’s Language
What better way to improve your relationship and deepen your bond than to understand your Pit Bull better? In order to do that, you need to learn how they communicate through body language. Dr. Sophia Yin’s website has a host of free body language posters that can help you learn to speak “dog,” which your Pittie will greatly appreciate.
#2 – Play
Play is an easy and fun way to bond with your Pit Bull. Any game he enjoys is fine, just as long as you’re doing it together! Agility trainers encourage play with their students because they have found it creates dogs that listen better and work harder for their owners.
#3 – Training
Training gives your Pit Bull the mental stimulation he needs while strengthening your relationship. When you and your Pittie train together, you are learning to communicate with each other, and that goes a long way to create a lasting bond. And Pitties love the work, so you will have a happier dog!
