Pitbull Training in Clarksville, TN

At Dog Training Elite, we can tailor our training method to work with any dog breed. We also understand that some dog breeds may require more training in some areas than others. Generally, all dogs share qualities of loyalty, intelligence, and compassion—regardless of what breed they are. Additionally, some breeds may have traits that require more attention and training than others.

For example, dogs within the pit bull family might possess some qualities that need training and correction that aren't an issue with other dog breeds. Whatever the case and dog breed you have, the trainers at Dog Training Elite Clarksville can create a breed–specific training plan to help you and your dog.

What is a Pitbull?


Read More
Read Less

A pitbull is not just one breed of dog but a collection of breeds created by crossing bulldogs and terriers. The common dog breeds that fall under the “pitbull” umbrella are:

  • American Pitbull Terrier
  • American Staffordshire Terrier
  • American Bulldog
  • English Bull Terrier

At one time, pitbulls were prized family dogs, nicknamed "nanny dogs" for their attention and care around children. Unfortunately, they were also bred for cruel and inhumane "sports" like bear–baiting and dog fighting for many years. Because of that history, their breeds have been considered aggressive and intimidating. However, pitbull owners know their dogs are highly affectionate and loyal, and this stigma is outdated and harmful.

    Montana helped me tremendously, get my dog under control and made it to where I can have my dog in my yard without a leash and her not run off.

    This is Kona she was a little fearful of using training tools at first but Montana helped me big time. She got her over her fear of them and made it a good learning experience that was very enjoyable for my girl!

    Got to work with Montana on some basic behavior for my new puppy Freja. I'm happy to say that whenever people meet Freja they always comment on how well she listens and behaves. I would recommend working with Montana to anyone, she is an excellent trainer. Will definitely seek her out for anymore help in the future.

    Montana helped shape my rambunctious heeler mix, Vanna, into a well rounded doggo by teaching her basic obedience. She was wonderful and very compassionate. You can tell she puts 100% into her work.

    Dog Training Elite has made a big impact on my dogs life. Before Dog Training Elite my dog Ranger was out of control. He was super anxious, and destructive. Parker was able to train my dog to be calm and confident. I was hesitant that my dogs personality would change. However, Ranger is still his goofy self, but now listens and is enjoyable to be around. Thank you Dog Training Elite

    This training experience with Reina has been amazing! Reina helped not only me and my husband but our dog Harley as well. Before trining Harley was pulling on the leash hard enough to pull me down. Now he doesn’t pull on the leash at all. His confidence in himself has increased and he has become a happier dog because of it. Without this training we would not have been able to reach the goals that we did. Highly recommend!!

    Our two Great Pyrenees mix pups were getting too difficult to train on our own. When Reina arrived for the assessment she knew what we needed- and we have learned so much! She loves dogs, is easy to work with, and responds quickly when there are any questions, issues, or schedule changes. Highly recommend!

Common Pit Bull Personality Traits

Because of their tumultuous breeding past, pit bulls get a bad reputation for being mean, loud, and fierce. But if you have ever met a well–trained pit bull, you'll quickly learn that most do not possess those qualities. Below are a few common pit bull personality traits you may not know about.

  • These breeds are often easier to train than other breeds because of their loyalty and desire to please their owners.

  • Pit bulls are highly energetic and love to be active.

  • Because these dogs are usually misunderstood and consequently given up, pit bulls are the most adoptable breed in need of loving homes.

  • Pit bulls have a lifespan of 8–15 years.

  • These breeds usually don't bark a lot. However, if there is a barking problem, it's probably due to boredom or anxiety, which the trainers of Dog Training Elite Clarksville can address!

  • Pit bulls are highly affectionate, making them great family and service dogs.
