Red-nose pit bulls sometimes enjoy dog beds.
Pit bulls are often considered to be an aggressive breed of dog, notorious for their vicious tendencies and their violent temperament shifts. Red-nose pit bulls, however, can be friendly, easygoing pets when they are cared for properly and receive adequate and appropriate training. Red-nosed pit bulls make energetic guard dogs as well. Raising a red-nosed pit bull might not always be an easy task, but with tips and advice, even pit bulls can be raised properly.
Instructions
1. Take your red-nose pit bull to the vet shortly after you get it. Have your vet check it for any diseases, infections or disabilities. The vet will give you information on care for your pit bull medically, including information on flea and tick prevention, heartworm prevention and spaying or neutering.
2. Feed your pit bull dry food. If it is a young puppy, mix water with the dry food to aid in digestion. Your vet will recommend a food brand and the amount of food your pit bull should eat because of its weight, size and general health. Provide your dog with a constant supply of water.
3. Bathe your red-nosed pit bull once a week if it is an adult or once every two weeks if it is a puppy. Pit bulls often have sensitive skin, so consider purchasing dog shampoo that is not harsh on your dog's skin. Check and clean your dog's ears to prevent lice and buildup when you bathe it. Trim your dog's claws once every two weeks, brush your dog after every bath and brush its teeth daily.
4. Provide numerous opportunities for exercise for your red-nosed pit bull. Red-nosed pit bulls are very energetic and might channel that energy negatively if they are not allowed to exercise and play. Train your pit bull or enroll it in behavioral school; red-nosed pit bulls are intelligent and learning tricks and rules can improve their temperaments. For the best results, take your pet out for exercise daily.
5. Crate train your dog early on. Place your pet in the crate daily and make sure that the crate is in a place where your dog can see you. Feed your pet a treat and use soothing, calming words to communicate with it while it is in its crate so that it does not think of it as punishment. Put toys or cloth that smell like you in the crate so that your pet learns that the crate is its home.
