Anyone know good ways to train an american pit bull terrier?

I have a German Shepherd and it's just like training any other breed. We got him at 2 months old so he was still a puppy and only wanted to play. I started with potty training. I brought him outside and sat outside until he finally went, and then praised him via dog treat/"Good boy!". If he pee'd inside i would raise a finger at him and say "No! Bad boy!" then force him outside or in his cage. He soon learned why i was yelling at him instead of praising him, and thus he started to go outside to pee/poop. This took 1 year for him to completely stop going in the house (occasionally he will go inside, but only when my family isn't there to let him out. This is something you cannot yell at him for since it's your fault.)

 

Next was basic commands like "Sit!" "Paw!" (handshake) "Down!" (lay down) "In!" (come inside, my Shepherd sometimes won't come inside because he's confused or likes to annoy me) "Stay!" "Come" (Come to me). You can change some of the commands i gave you if you like. All of these (if your dog does it) result in praise and dog treats.

 

*IF YOU HAVE OTHER DOGS, LET THEM OUTSIDE FOR TRAINING BECAUSE THEY WILL GET JEALOUS THAT THE DOG IS GETTING TREATS INSTEAD OF THEM*

 

Since your puppy is only 2 days old, you're going to have to wait for a couple of months. Let her grow, and keep her in a cage with newspaper/rags. Don't put a bed or food in there, if your puppy likes to move around or needs to pee, she will either knock the food over, or pee on the bed. I've learned this from experience. Monitor your puppy for awhile, and since she's only 2 days old, she probably can't do much since her head is probably bigger than her hole body.

 

Get a picture, i want to see it.

Alright I spoke to the breeder. He said to use positive training and at 6-8 weeks start socialising her with other dogs. Kinda hard cos I got two staffs Both female and both well trained. He said at 12 weeks teach basic commands like sit etc for about 5 minutes a day.

 

Here's the pic. Still deciding a name
