Pitbull Training in Fitchburg / Leominster, MA

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.

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 However, pitbull owners know their dogs are highly affectionate and loyal, and this stigma is outdated and harmful.

    JOCY IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE GAL!! She has been such an amazing trainer for my child ‘Charlie.’ A few months ago, since Charlie’s first training, she’s been nothing but a supportive and helpful person and I’m proud to call her my friend. 🥹 I was having a hard time at the beginning of becoming a dog mom and I was really struggling. I feel that without her, Charlie and I would not be where we are now. I fully recommend Jocy and DTE to any doggy parent I come across! Thank you for everything Jocy & DTE❤️

    Great company, trainers and results! All the trainers we worked with were very knowledgeable, professional and helped us to make significant improvements in our beloved pup’s behaviors! He went from slightly reactive and very anxious around new people to being able to walk through a crowded area on command. Most importantly, they trained us on best ways to continue to communicate with our pup so that the training never stops. We especially enjoyed working with Jocy, would recommend her to anyone!

    Niko has improved so much since the first training session. Jocy and Alaina have been great. Jocy has taught us how to be more assertive and helped us to hold ourselves accountable. She is not afraid of correct us lol we love her. Alaina was great allowing us to have Niko be trained by her dog and very helpful with the tips as well. My partner and I can’t find words to appreciate their work with us. Niko love them and have so much fun with the training. Thank you soooo much!!

    I got the platinum program for my Chesapeake Bay retriever Marshall is my Trainer, and he has worked wonders with my dog. My dog could not even walk by another dog without jumping on his high heel barking and trying to lunge. Now my dog has learnt to walk by other dogs without reacting and we have only had three private classes. Benji use to try and chase every car that went by. So walking him was difficult. Now we enjoy our walks daily. There is no pulling on the leash.We haven’t even started group yet. I can’t believe how much Benji has changed with putting my trust into Marshall. Also Marshall teaching me that if I am calm in training my dog will follow my lead. I have gone through other trainers and we have never been able to do none of this stuff. I would highly recommend anybody who was looking for dog training to go through Elite dog training and ask for Marshall.You will have a dog that you can live your best life with your buddy because Elite trainers will give you the tools you need. Thank you so much Marshall for all you have done for Benji and I!

    Had a follow up this afternoon because we've had a break from group sessions. I got great pointers on picking up where we left off and found out that we were better off than we thought which was encouraging. DTE does great follow up to ensure success.

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 Fitchburg can address!

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