I recommend watching "The Dog Whisperer." The guy is basically the nuts when it comes to dog training.
thanks SH. Ive read two of his books, Cesar's Way (which I highly recommend, his life story is ****ing awesome) and his puppy book (actually read it twice and have it highlighted). I love Cesar, love watching TDW, and generally think he is the ****.
I have mentally prepared for a high energy dog and planned on him becoming my morning running companion. Im committed to the two walks a day, etc.
The main pit bull concerns are the reception by other people, potential house rentals or house insurance, that type of stuff. How pit-ish does your dog look and have you encountered any drawbacks or prejudice?
Also it will be the GFs first dog so she is concerned about establishing herself as a dominant presence over a more intimidating breed (as opposed to something goofy like a Lab).
Sidenote, the SouthPark when Cesar dog whispers Cartman made laugh probably more than any episode ever.
