She's a puppy. She will fill out when she's full grown, just give her some time.
Answer by The Dream
you dont want to really work a pup. just games like fetch and going on walks every day mixed with a decent dogfood will get great results especially with this breed. if you supplement an apbt and try to bulk it up you will just have a fat dog. hit me up when ur dog is closer to a yeah and i will give u some more exercises. if you work a pup to hard now you will regret it! if u want more info hit me up

Answer by hahachick
you shouldn't be trying to add "muscle tone" to a puppy. Just walk her at least once a day to allow her to get excercise. It can be damaging to their developing bones and muscles if you are trying to push them too much.
Just feed her a healthy dog food geared towards puppies and mother nature will take care of the rest

Just a FYI . My child or in other words my blue terrier. I work with him 30 minutes a day no matter what . As in just me and him without any interruptions. I usually take the 30 minutes into two sessions 15 minutes with leash on then 15 minutes with leash off . Well I don’t know what intended plans anyone has for there best friend but Ill just cut out my steps on my technical skills training and just focus on building muscle slowly and naturally without Amy weight gainer etc. I just simply used a old method in two different sections 15 on 15 off on both exercise for Capone I built a flirt pole that’s stationery and the other flirt by hand to give him more of a focus point to obey my every command while he’s jumping hanging running I’ll used it to also let him know what come or what empty means when he’s wanted to chase his pure natural rubber sole. I won’t go into great details but I assure you that it works with unbelievable results you would even consider showing off to your friends what he or she can do but I would not until you fully have Control of his or her every move but in short look up different flirt poles and different ways to make it to your needs . Let me know what you think or if anyone needs any questions answer about your training methods or need help to train your blue or red or any dog just ask I’m pretty much pressure free and love training a challenge puppy or mid level age dog to do what the owner intended him or her to do. Thanks and just a FYI if you want your dog to pee or do a number 2 on command ask it truly works and in house bathroom is a thing of the pass. Thanks again later…..

how can i make my bit bull dog aggressive?
RussianDog says
We don’t support aggression in dogs. Please view the discussion How to make a pit bull more human aggressive?
furbabies says
To what degree are you wanting to t each human aggression??
VND!85 says
Wow. Are you really that ignorant? Why would you make any dog aggressive let alone one that has a bad reputation because assholes like you who manipulate their need to please their human and take advantage of their will in such a devious and unwanted manner. People like you should not be aloud to own a pet if thats your intention.

Maybe the wording of my question was wrong…im not wanting to juice up and cause any harm to my pit pup…i just want to make sure i as a first time pit pup owner am doing everything i can or should be doing whatever that may be to ensure my pup grows into the beautiful blue i know she will be..i rescued her…no physical abuse i dont think but she def wasnt eating proper…ive had her six days now and we are already bestfriends…Pandora is her name and i just want to mske sure i know what abd how and when to feed and exercise her…i dont want to go overboard but i def want her to be as bangin as she can possibly be…ive had her for six days and ive krpt her food bowl full day and night…the goid things are that it is decent food and i already notice weight gain..but the bad thing is she probably poops 6 times a day or more…so i akready read sumthn sumone postd that said to feed her 3 set times a day and pick tha bowl up when she is done…so i got that diwn…what can i do now…exercise wise… that is harmless to a 4 month old pup to ensure or should i say help with muscle growth results as an adult…i just want her to look as good as she can…but i am not willing to sacrifice her health or wellbeing to accomplish that…so if anyone has any pointers i would love it…be easy yall..Keith outta Tulsa Ok

The best thing is to create a schedule and get her into a routine. Especially when it comes to feeding and taking her out to potty. I personally would take my dogs out first thing when i wake up(5am), then give treats, bring back out 2 hrs later for about 15 20 minutes, then first feeding between 730 to 8, let them rest and digest until 9 then back out to play etc. I get them on a 2 to 3 hour schedule for potty. I also mix up daily activities, one day dog park, another hiking or. Beach etc. Also being consistent with commands, one word, works great. Train daily 15 minute sessions 4x. Do whatever works for you and your pup but a routine and consistency is key. Also a flirt pole( thin flexible pvc pipe with a rope and a toy or piece of burlap)Is great for agility speed and coordination. A springpole(mine was a 4×4 post with a braced top piece eye screw caribeaner to 120lb garage door spring with a rope hanging off) works great. Also getting an elastic leash is useful, works like a bowflex causing resistance. These things are great to work pups as they don’t add weight and create any pressure or stress on the pup.

At 18 to 24 months of age you can start to work your dog.Let the pup mature.
Drop the blue nose description.It's an American Pit Bull Terrier that happens to have a blue nose.It does NOT denote a different type or breed.It's not rare nor special.
Choose a quality food. Depending on how well or poorly the dog was bred is going to be the key factor.Genetics are going to be the key factor in your dogs physical make up and temperament.

you wanna give your DOG steroids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don't. Simple.
Launi *Built Ford To says
You do NOT need to ADD muscle to any American Pit Bull Terrier. Especially a 4 month old puppy!
Feed a GOOD food. Give her the exercise and obedience training she needs.
You do NOT supplement these dogs. They are nothing but skin, bone and muscle without supplements.
Believe me, I own one!!!

Spoke to n proper pit bull breeder in South Africa . puppy’s six week and older must just eat 3 times a day with good dog food . No supplements at all, the only thing you can add every day is Bio -Strath it only contains Honey and Gluten Glucose. It helps to fight bacteria and all other stuff that can harm your dog. 100ml before food a day will do the trick . Only a good diet and exercise and wait for 12 month’s before pushing him or her to pull big stuff and over exercise your dog . make sure the dog get deworm and vaccine injections at 6weeks after that 4 weeks and after that 8 weeks . then one’s a year .
