Pitbull Training in Worcester, MA

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. Whatever the case and dog breed you have, the trainers at Dog Training Elite Worcester can create a breed–specific training plan to help you and your dog.

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 However, pitbull owners know their dogs are highly affectionate and loyal, and this stigma is outdated and harmful.

    Amazing progress with my dog Quill! He is also deaf which adds another layer to his training. We have learned so much in the short time we have been working together and the results speak for themselves!

    3 days in, already he’s off the couch and in his bed where he belongs. Had an excellent E collar intro session with Matt, he’s kind, patient, considerate, and professional, and I can’t believe I’m already seeing results. Thank you!

    I spoke with Marcus for the original quote for the service dog training for my pup. It was reasonably priced and offer payment plans. Marcus seemed like a very knowledgeable trainer I am looking forward to the training program.

    We had a wonderful consultation with Tiffany at our apartment, and she was fantastic! She’s incredibly friendly and approachable, making the entire experience comfortable for both my dog and me. Tiffany provided a wealth of helpful information and clear, tailored guidance to meet our specific needs. We’re excited to start training!

    We had our assessment today and it went great! Marcus was wonderful. I have confidence we will gain lots from training. Had our 1st class today with Matt K. He is very knowledgeable and is way to work with. Looking forward to more! Had our 2nd class today with Tiffany. We are all learning a lot and I believe I will have a better behaved and happier dog. Looking forward to next week. We just finished our last class and feel we have come along way. Matt K has been very patient with both our dog Beau and us. He is walking pretty better, and we know how to work with his reactiveness. We. still have socialization to work on in group classes. Tiffany and Matt K did a few sessions together with us to help with a specific issue. Overall,this has been a great experience.

    We just finished our second day of training and we absolutely love working with our trainer. Every week we are becoming better trained and our puppy is doing a fantastic job. We really do believe that a big portion of a well trained dog is having well trained parents. We are getting better everyday thanks to DTE!

Common Pit Bull Personality Traits

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 Worcester can address!

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