Hello to the pitbull community. I am planning on adopting a pit bull and would like some suggestions on tips and things that will help my life easier and fun. I know that pit bulls have one of the worst reputations in the dog breeds , I honestly feel like pitbulls are a beautiful breed , i use to own a cocker spaniel but saw a beautiful Pit named scooby and i went to see this dog. I am a patient trainer and can teach the basic, Sit, lay, and stay. I know how to crate train. I pretty much just wanna know anything or tips. While i was going to see the dog. He was very calm and relaxed. But he would just go into an energy mode and just run and run which made me like him even more. But the staff told me, that the dog needs some work on the leash. he tends pull a lot because it seems like its previous owner didnt train him much on the leash. While putting the leash on , He jumps on you. When your walking he bites the leash and pulls it. I know how to work on this. Also he would bite my shoe. And basically any tips on this??
some other things
besides walks , and dog parks. I need some tips on how i can make the dog tired and relaxed
How to stop even the smallest agression from this breed (I dont want anyone to report me or the dog)
Some tips on enforcing myself as the pack leader.
some little things i can do that shows the dog that im in controll and what i say is what i mean.
and little things i should prepare that may concern me
I live in a apartment. and have a dog park 10 mins from my apartment.
(I dont believe in hitting dogs for discipline , Choke collars and shock collars are a no as well.)
Link to the dog picture and info is below (P.S I KNOW THAT ITS AN AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE BUT BECAUSE IT RESEMBLES TRAITS OF A PITBULL I THINK I COULD USE THESE HELPS , THANKS TO ANYONE WHO LEAVES TIPS)
