So after my posting about the first vet visit, I was told that I should contact a more pitbull aware trainer...
I'm currently in the process of doing so.
If anyone would like to help me, please chip in...I'm in Kentucky.
I'm not afraid to travel but would prefer something close.
Currently what I am doing to help socialize Hemi is taking him to Petsmart beginner classes.
Today was the first one and he did very well.
For the first 10 minutes or so when all the dogs were barking and stuff he did as well.
But eventually they all calmed down and laid in the floor.
Of course within in a healthy distance of one another.
He was very well behaved in the store, loved it and all the different people.
And no I do not just let random people walk up and touch him.
I'm very careful with who comes near him.
Not one growl the entire time
I was so pleased with him.
So that's once a week for a little while until the classes run out.
But other days what can I do to get him out and about...
I'm sort of limited as to where I live we do not have a dog park, just a normal park.
I do live in a suburb and take him for walks several times a day.
Any other tips?
