I just got in touch with Leslie, and she told me she would be happy to take the puppy! Thank you everyone for your help and input, I am going to be bringing him up to her Wednesday morning :). I am gonna miss him but I am happy he is finally going to go to a rescue that will be able to socialize...

NADAC has a lot of classes he could probably do, and if you did want to jump him, you could end up jumping him pretty low. The highest height is 20", and you can do skilled at 16", when hes a senior you could go down as low at 12". They have tunnelers/hoopers classes which dont have any...

I trained my first border collie, Rush, to stop into 2o2o with the command "feet", and she will stop very consistently in competition with just the command, sometimes even without it. I will say nothing and say Go if I want her to keep running. She stresses at trials so sometimes I do that just...

gonna message you this lol!

I am actually glad you said something, because it would be much easier to take him somewhere within the MD borders (which I could transport). I will PM you my contact information. I was just about to give up on Jasmine's house, so you reached me right in time. Is it for sure that they will take him?

We've been playing tug more and he hasnt been as growly, I dont know if its because hes playing more or because he is tugging with Rush and she doesnt like it when he growls at her. They really like tugging together though. I also started teaching him to fetch, and while he brings it back near...

I am sorry if I was being rude, this entire situation really has been stressing me out. I am not trying to get angry with anyone or act like I know exactly what I am doing. I found hes much less crazy when he tugs with my dogs, and so I have been letting him do that since they will just drag...

I have tried the yelping, it only works sometimes. I can see what you mean with the pushing away, because I do that as well to amp up my dogs. I have started to pick him up and set him else-where, so I will just start doing that instead,

You told me something I was already doing. Engaging in play? What do you think I have been doing. Tugging with him brings out the VERY behavior I am trying to get rid of. What you are telling me is that unless I am training him to do a different behavior I shouldnt do anything to stop the...

I also just wanted to say thank you for those of you who have been so helpful in suggesting things as well as helping me try to find a rescue to take him, I really do appreciate it.

DJEtzel, Hes 8-9 weeks old, I am still shaping his sit and other behaviors but he has the attention span of a leaf and we aren't exactly making leaps and bounds with that. Not to mention, when he plays, he gets REALLY into it. Ask a puppy who knows ZERO commands and is over their threshold to...

When a puppy bites me, I have always just gently rolled their lips under their teeth (if the puppy is biting down hard), and it makes them let up in their bite and have a softer mouth. If I do it, he sometimes bites down harder and gets angry. He has also gotten really mad when I picked him up...

I can try to get a video. Also, I have been doing the toy replacement thing since we got him. He will chew on it for a few seconds and then go back to nomming on body parts. Its a work in progress.

I am located in MD. I have recently contacted a rescue (Jasmine's House) and I am just waiting to hear back - its the only one I found that has a surrender option, and I am in the process of still looking around. Sometimes I know he is playing, but other times I don't think that's it. I have...

I feel I should add.. I have been socializing him, but I just recently started as he just got his first vaccine a week ago.

Hi there! So basically here is this long story. My cousin was given a 6 week old pit puppy (from a BYBer - horrible I know) on valentines day from her friend. She had no idea she was getting a dog, and her apartment, and the surrounding apartment complexes have a breed ban on pits and...
