We headed outside so I could show the guardians how to get Thor to focus on them, come when called and train him to move away from the fence instead of running along the fence line barking at the other dog. This approach works for every breed and you don’t have to be a professional Pitbull dog trainer to do it. Thor’s guardians should do this exercise multiple times a day for the next few weeks. Dogs need lots of practice to learn new habits, especially when trying to stop them from doing something when they’re excited or aroused. Repetition is key for success. These don’t have to be long practice sessions. In fact, short 2-4 minute practice sessions a few times a day are better than one longer session. With daily practice and exercise, we’re confident Thor can be more focused and kick his fence fighting habit. Once a dog is aroused, they won’t hear anything you say and training is pretty much useless.
