1. Exercise your dog at least once a day. Especially if you have a Pit Bull you should give him 10-15 minute walk or you can play a fetch game in the backyard because these dogs are highly energetic and need to burn off the pinned up energy. If you do not do that they may have behavior problems.

2. Do not leave pit bulls with other dogs alone (or what ever any other animal). Pit Bulls have a lot of aggression and something might happen nevertheless the dog has already spent 99.9% of the time with other creatures, so never trust him.

3. Always walk your dog on a leash in public places. Almost everywhere there are leash laws which have to be obeyed.This way your dog won’t be hit by passing cars and other people will see your dog in a positive way.

4. Always be with your dogs and do not allow them to roam free. There is a risk for both sides as often cruel people hurt loose dogs and if you do not want accidents to happen,you should know where your dog all the time.

5. Do not leave your dog with small children. This is a rule because often small children are hurt and injured by dogs not because of aggression, just dogs can step on them or scratch them.

6. Neuter or Spay your dog. This stops roaming males from getting loose and reduces accidental breeding so it is a good advice your dog to be spayed or neutered.

7. Train your dog. Hire a private trainer or take your Pit Bull dog to obedience classes. This is very important because if you are not able to control your dog bad things can happen. Your dog should be trained as soon as possible.

8. Avoid dog parks. When your Pit Bull is a puppy you can take him to a dog park to socialize. But, when the dog gets older stop going there. Pit Bull is not always the main reason for bad accidents. There are other dogs and owners who are not responsible and their dogs run around unsupervised which can cause a battle between your dog and the other.

9. Socialize your dog. Take your dog to a lot of safe places and meet new people and other dogs while he is young .

10. Confine your dog properly. Pit Bulls are great escape artists. Be sure that you have your dog properly confined in your yard. You can install a six foot privacy fence.
