Using pitbulls for fighting is an automatic ticket to hell. You're going to make God mad at you. Hmph.

You're barking up the wrong tree here, kido.
First off Pit Bulls don't take to aggression training very well, they are too head strong and can be deterred by another dog and all their training is thrown out the window. They are not a trustworthy breed.
Second, a dog needs to grow up before any training, except basic obedience, so that they know that it is not a game. An eight week old pup is just a baby.
Third, there are laws being added everyday concerning this breed and personally I feel that every owner of a pit should have it's temperament tested and destroyed if it shows signs of aggression. This breed is the leading cause of unprovoked attacks and deaths.
I have put Pits through police dog training and there wasn't one that made the grade. They are a piss poor breed for this kind of work.
I personally hate the breed and I have had to turn in people that own them and their dogs were taken away. Both as a Master Dog Trainer and a Pet Groomer I have only run across 2 pits that are even worthy of calling it a dog.
Pits will eventually be outlawed and only competent breeders will be the only ones allowed to own or breed them. And with any hope they can correct the typical back yard breeders from producing the mentally sick dogs.
I feel so sorry for you. You are under a lot of misconceptions and don't know a thing about the animal you own. I wish there was a way to have your pup taken away from you. You do not deserve it or any other dog for that matter.

You have got to be kidding. teach a pit bull attack commands? Dont you watch the news. You don't have to teach them to attack. They do it all by themselves. How 'bout teach them to STAY. Or HEAL. Or DOWN. You forget, dogs in general are predators. Some dogs just happen to be more aggressive than others. Pitbulls happen to be one of them. Work on obedience training and getting the dog to respect you as an owner and understanding that you are the leader of the pack. When you are able to control your dog in a calm manner and he obeys your commands out of respect, you won't have to worry about attack commands. He will know when it is time to protect you. And this goes for any breed of dog. Good luck

Your dog will turn out to be the way you treat it. If you show no discipline then yes the dog may turn out vicsious, but so can a Golden Retriever. At 8 weeks old, he is still VERY young and should of never been taken away from the parents, so you need to step in and act as the mom. Take some puppy classes.

You sound like one of those irresponsible owners, that everyone's, rightfully complaining about. Why would anyone want to teach their dog, to be aggressive and attack?There are much safer ways to teach a dog to be protective without seriously hurting or killing someone or even another animal. It's so unfair and cruel to treat a dog, that gives so much unconditional love, this way. God forbid that if you raise it this way, and when it grows up and hurts or kills someone or something{another animal}, you will be held responsible and go to jail. Do the poor puppy a favor, and give him/her to someone, who will treat it with love and care, the way it deserves to be treated. It might not be a bad idea, if you educate yourself on properly caring for an innocent animal, and don't own one until then.

Why in the world would you want to do that with pits all ready having a bad rap, due to BAD owners. Don't do that to that poor baby. I own a pit bull. He is very protective and I didn't have to teach him how. He just knows to protect his family. Let that puppy enjoy being a puppy. They are little for so short of a time. Be a responsible pit bull owner.

Too bad you didn't live by me.
I'd sue the hell out of you. And I'd end up owning the run down single wide you now live in.
Why would you do that, honestly? Are you that "small?"
If you want to teach your pitbull "attack commands," act excited and yell, "sic me, sic me!" Then, when the puppy bites you, reward him with a treat.
dumba**....

You should not train your dog to attack any people or other dogs. Dog fighting is illegal, in most if not all states, and if your dog ever attacked a person you could also be in trouble with the police. Do not train your dog to attack, dog fighting is very cruel and there are too many animal control officers that deal with it every day.

You don't need to be doing that. That's wrong. You're one of the people that gives my 3 month old pit bull a bad name. I don't like you and I hope your pit bull ends up being the sweetest dog in the world and you spend the rest of your pathetic life in jail.

Really not a good idea, I wouldn't recommend it - not only might your dog turn on you once it is older and more aggressive, but you will get the dog taken away from you and put down if it attacks someone

Why don't you socialize and properly train your dog instead?
Pitbulls are already loyal guardians and know how to protect you if your house gets broken into, etc. You are the reason there are so many bad reps for pitbulls.
