But having a good understanding of their physical requirements will prompt you to look for advice on how to train a Pitbull. Even with thin hair, they can shed like crazy. In fact, if you don’t know some home hacks, grooming costs for Pitties can be as high as $500 per month. For starters, I suggest that you choose the best shampoo as your first move: That’s equivalent to more than 10 bags of dog food or the monthly mortgage payment on your home.

    1 Choose the right shampoo. It’s best to get a mildhypoallergenic dog shampoo since human shampoos can easily irritate canine skin. It should be free from fragrances and synthetic chemicals.[13]
