How to Train a Rhodesian Ridgeback Pitbull Mix
A Rhodesian Ridgeback is a cross between an American Staffordshire terrier and a Rhodesian ridgeback. The Rhodesian Ridgeback is an intelligent dog, so training them can be frustrating but also rewarding. Because of their high prey drive, you will need to start early and be consistent with training. You will also need to make sure to secure your yard to avoid your Rhodesian ridgeback from chasing small animals or stray cats.
This hybrid dog breed is intelligent and loves to be busy. The Rhodesian Ridgeback contributes its fierce guarding nature and stubbornness, while the Staffordshire terrier provides its sweet, loving temperament. The Redbone Coonhound is a medium-sized dog, with a muscular appearance. It is very loving and playful but also needs the training to live with other dogs.
Both the Rhodesian ridgeback and American Staffordshire terrier are good weather-tolerant breeds, though both require plenty of exercises. Be sure to provide shade and plenty of water for your new puppy, or you might have to give him extra exercise. They are both extremely stubborn, so daily exercise is a must for the pups. If you’re not sure if your Ridgeback is overweight, perform a hands-on test to see if you can feel his ribs. If he can’t feel his ribs, reduce his or her food or provide him with more exercise.
