Pitbull Training in Utah County, UT

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 However, pitbull owners know their dogs are highly affectionate and loyal, and this stigma is outdated and harmful.

    So far so good. We reached out to Dog Training Elite Utah. They were very responsive and came to our home and helped us with tons of info. We are first time dog owners and no nothing. They were so patient and helpful. We are very excited to be working with them and will give updates. -Update: We are not into our training and learning a ton about our little puppy. I am so so very happy that we are working with Dog Training Elite. After just the first lesson we were able to get Chico to obey some of our commands! I am shocked at the info they gave us and how it worked so fast.

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 Utah County can address!

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