Question
Hello Melissa, i have a pittbull mix,looks full pitt, he is alittle over three months old now. This dog is very stubborn or puzzled. Not like other breeds i had that responed to commands at this age. Please,Please give tips on how to train this breed of dog.i have used food and treats, still very stubborn or confused. Dog seems dumb, i don,nt want to give up on him. Thank you and God Bless Herman

Answer
He's not dumb, he's a pit! They are stubborn and bull headed. Without seeing him "in action" the best I can suggest is the book: "Pit Bulls For Dummies" or "The American Pit Bull Terrier: An Owner's Guideto aHappy Healthy Pet (Your Happy Healthy Pet)" or "How to Train Your American Pit Bull Terrier"

Good Luck!
