My suggestion to you, DO NOT put a heavy lock (or any lock) on your puppy. Let him run and play like any other puppy would and he will soon look nice and lean. Puppies DO NOT need muscle. They have a little chub for a reason, and he will not be ready for conditioning until he is ATLEAST a year old. He is only 7 weeks, so this gives you plenty of time to do some reading and get educated on proper APBT conditioning and nutrition. You will learn what works best for you by experience only. Let your puppy be just that, a puppy. Don't put too much on him at such a young age. It could backfire and possible harm your new friend. Have fun with him and teach him what he needs to know. He will turn out to be the best dog you could ever imagine...

[diggit]

education is the key..... remember that people.

brindlepit- i agree with jadedpitgirl, the pup is way way to young to be worked of any sort if you want to take the pup to the park and watch it play on the grass and take it to meet dog friendly dogs/other young pups for socalizing.

i would never put a chain or lock of anytype on my adult dog even... it doesnt really gain anything.

hope this helps :)

A lock? ah. hmm Ok you don't have to worry about any of that conditioning stuff for some time. let him be a pup and just train him till he gets bigger and start very slow as not to injure his non developed joints and bones. I don't know anything about locks. You can condition him with weight at about a year old lightly then work his way up slowly to maturity of about 2 - 2 1/2 years old. So you don't end up with a cripple when he gets old. Don't rush the little feller he will grow up soon enough. Take care of him and love the dog and he will love you in return and take care of you as well. Daily walkings for now and some good ole play time. tug o war stuff. Not too rough though don't want to mess his teeth or jaws up.

some one explain the lock deal to me. That sounds crazy. I have never heard of such. Who does this and where?

No offense to you, BRINDLEPIT, I think you were just a little misinformed. No biggie. Stay away from that crap though.

First off welcome. :)

If he's 7 weeks you have a long time before you need to worry about building muscle. Do you mean a padlock? If so that will do more damage than it will build muscle. If you want to put a weighted harness or collar on him which, personally I never would, you've got to weight till he's full grown. (18 - 24 months or more) Genetics has a lot to do with how built he will get and the type of muscles he will have. For example, the bully dogs tend to have big bunchy muscles that look more impressive and the game bred dogs tend to have smoother more defined muscles. The bunchy muscles look stronger but in reality it's the other way around. If you ever have any questions feel free to PM me. ;)

[Fedor23]

don't put a lock on the pup, you will hurt its neck, might even come out with permanent damade. Just let it be a pup for now, and a good familiy dog, rememember to socialize your pup with good dogs and good people.

Really. That is silly. Chains and locks. I have a mental picture of it and it just is seems odd. So the locks have nothing to do with securing the dog to something? But if the chain is locked on the neck and something goes wrong the vet can't get to the neck area and the dog dies un warranted. Sounds goofy. Like stappling your ears to your head so that they don't fall off.

People just get shorter chain lengths from the hardware store or whatever, and link the ends together with a lock sometimes. I think it's meant to add extra weight. Otherwise, I guess they could just use a clip of some sort. Maybe people think it makes the dog look tougher somehow. :rolleyes:

Sucks for the dog if you lose they key...or forget the combo!

[irishpit]

hey brindlepit,dats a cute dog you got there, as far as the lock thing goes i can see why you thought this was normal practice what with the media coverage of mean looking,oversized "pitbulls" wearing massive chains and locks around their necks but this is purely an ego booster, the dogs may look impressive but usually arent pure pitbull usually are crossed with a bigger breed for superior muscle growth(not performance though) so if you still want to build your dog up at about 18 months try weighted harnesses which distribute the weight evenly over the body as opposed to the neck which would result in injury, springpole,swimming and carpet mills, sorry for the long post hope this helps we're (we@re) all still learning here, once again cool pup

[Pitbull219]

I had almost forgot about the whole lock and chain around the dog's neck thing. When I got my girl Passion 11 years ago, that's how her previous owner had kept her. When I finally convinced the guy to sell her to me, he's like you can keep that chain......I said no thanks, unlock it and take it with you. He was a total hoodrat wannabe gangsta. Brindlepit, welcome to the forum, listen to all the good advice people will offer you here, and don't become a hoodrat, lol

WOULD STRONGLY HELP.dont do it thats the ghetto way like every one has already told you let a pup be a pup you could cause some damage to the poor dogs hips and joints i know you might see people that do it in the hood or what not i saw it all the time lets just say if you do it the pup and your money will suffer the consequence later on in life.

[PitBull_30]

Here are some pics of dogs tied out with chains as collars. Locks do nothing but harm to a pups bone growth, neurological system and, if left on too long, do obvious physical damage. Besides that it's just plain uncomfortable.

[BRINDLEPIT]

Theyve Told Me About The
Lock. Ive Also Seen Weighted
Locks At The Tack N Feed Store
I Buy My Supplies From. Ive Never
Personally Tried It, But It Never
Hurts To Get Suggestions. Yeah
No Training For Him Yet Hes Way
Too Young For The Meanwhile Only
Socializing. But Thanks For The Advice
Guys/girls If Theres Any. I Think Hes
Going To Be On The Lean Side. Because
I Used To Care For My Sisters Red Nose
And Shes More On The Bulky Short Side.
And When She Was His Age She Was Like A
Butterball. And Hes On The Tall Lean Side
We'll See From There.

Dang that is some nasty wounds to those dogs. Every one should note these photo's. Chains

Dang!! No doubt, that's screwed up!! Not only did they put chains on them, they were probably left without inspection, as no one in their right mind could leave a chain on a dogs neck noticing those wounds!! I have never used a chain around a dogs neck like that, and after seeing that, never will!!

Its Because Of People Like That
Pits Get A Bad Rep.unattended

Theyre Just Not Aware Enough To

Every dog is different, and I would base his potential size in relation to the sire and dam, and not in regards to your sister's dog.
I also advise no locks, and wish to welcome you, as well. I hope you learn MUCH here. It's a GREAT place filled with knowledgeable, caring people. Enjoy the time you spend here!
