For my twenty time project my friend Bella and I are training her baby pit bull on basic skills like sitting rolling over and laying down and even some more fun cool tricks. We started out by using a clicker and some treats for her to learn the basic skills. Dottie “the puppy” seems to be a pretty quick learner she got used to the treat giving when training which gave her the thought if she sits she will receive a treat.our main goal is for Dottie to get used to the clicker instead of the treats so we are going to slowly move her off of receiving treats.

Bella had these treats called “Charlee Bear” which I highly recommend to training your dog, they are small and are not that bad for your pup. there are many different flavors to get. The clicker we used Bella got for free at her job, there actually super helpful because the dog will most likely get used to the clicking noise.Overall I think our method to training Dottie is working pretty well so far.We also used hand movements and talked to her while doing this whole process.
