The weather here is getting cooler and the girls are loving the extra time outside. Not to mention me and my girlfriend Allissa's excitement as well. Okay, today I have an update and a tip for you. First the update. Three new articles have been added to the training section. Tracking training parts 3 and 4 are up and Pit Bull Puppy training is also up. To read them visit: http://www.PitBullLovers.com/american-pit-bull-terrier-training-articles.html They are the last three articles in the list. Update #2: Many people have emailed asking about Leo the Lion. Well I'm super happy to report that not only is Leo acting like a gentleman (his dog aggression is almost non-exsistent now) he is now in his temporary, possibly forever, home! Leo is such a great dog too and I hope the home works out. Allissa and I dropped him off at his new home last night and while he played with the two small kids there (he was AWESOME with them) his new owner got her first look at him in person. Follow ups and continued APBT education are the order of the day for Leo and his new owner, but I'm happy with her and the situation. God shined his blessing down on this little rascal and hopefully he has found his home and will not be shuffled around any longer. Thanks to well wishes and good thoughts from literally hundreds of people I have no doubt Leo will enjoy a happy new life with his new home. TIP: Are you rewarding calm behavior or not? As I talk about in the Puppy training article at the site rewarding your dog when they are calm and quiet even if they haven't done anything is a sure way to reinforce this behavior. For example, if your pup is in their kennel quiet and relaxing why not stop by and praise and treat them? Every so often toss a "that's good" and a treat to your dog(s) for being calm. Eventually your pup will associate calm behavior with attention. This is not to say you can't rough house or play tug with your dog, the difference is... ...it's on your terms and not theirs. Why not start today? Next time you see your pup being calm and quiet, calmly walk over and give them a pet, treat, or praise for their behavior. Enjoy the updates. Best Regards, Jason, Angel and Honey http://www.PitBullLovers.com
