So my pit-bull, Spector, we got him from the Animal Rescue League in May, not long after Watson died. We were told he was a 3 year old, healthy, mid-energy level dog. Turns out we got a 9month old pup with pneumonia. Which means he's actually high energy, he was just sick. Well thanks, shelter, for lying to us. You can argue they can't tell age but he has teeth coming in, and how on earth can you not tell pneumonia? It's fairly simple.
So we brought him home, bonded with him in the meanwhile. So we decided it wasn't right to take him back.
In the meantime we're struggling with a dog who is just, bad, partly because he has so much energy we weren't prepared for, partly because he's a pup - which we didn't want - and because he's just bad.
I suggest multiple times we take him to obedience training, and though my mum agrees, we have no transportation. Mum and I don't drive, dad could only take us on Saturdays, and maybe not EVERY Saturday. The fact the whole three of us can't ALWAYS be there just makes it hard. So there's nothing else we can do except uselessly try to train this dog whose being, pardon my french, an bum.
