A tired dog is a good dog. Exercise him with long, fast walks and lots of fetching balls and frisbees. If you’re gone all day at work, hire a dog walker for midday and maybe daycare once or twice a week.

hi Julie. I laid my Redbone coonhound mix Andie, a sweet girl, to rest January 9 2023 to rest. On January 27, 2023 we adopted Lucy, Pit/lab mix. Andie was 12 and raised by us since 3 months. Cremated, she is here with us. I still shed tears for her as we were really soul mates. It gets better, but you will always have flash memories of your loving pet. Just keep her in your memories and talk to her as you did when she was alive; I sure do even though I have adopted my next best best friend.

Thank the Lord i found this site, and this pit/lab pawrent. Enter Lucy adopted from The Humane Society of Baltimore County. Oh How we love her. She was admitted as a stray from an apartment complex by a social worker. A little thing, but strong and determined. She sleeps with us because she has separation anxiety. She really loves our grand kids. she’s very energetic and very fast and unafraid of anything; except windshield wipers. We enrolled Lucy at the Doggy Daycare so she can interact with other dogs. Lucy is 10 months old, very strong and a very sweet girl. She has labeled me the pac leader because I feed her and play with her several times a day. We go for walks and we shop together. I plan on enrolling Lucy in training before our Virginia Beach Vaca. She’s goin with us.

I just laid my 14yr old pit to rest in December, she lived 2 1/2yrs longer than normal for a pit. from the time she arrived we fed her only Blue Buffalo dry. it’s more money, however, the extra time with my girl was worth it! Good luck

She is just a pup and full of energy as is normal. I have a 6 year old Staffie/mix male that has adopted her and is showing her the ropes so to speak. She already in a couple weeks knows commands. She is learning to love our cat, who sleeps with the older one. So far so good…a lot of time is needed to acclimate. We tire her out with play….distract her from negative behaviors with positive ones. She has calmed down alot. If my cat tolerates her it is a good sign lol. The male Staffie is showing her what is acceptable and not as he is the alpha male. I am so happy she is responding to commands so quickly. I learned the key was crate training, and alot of running around and play on our 3 acres of land. (Though have to watch because as a pup she wants to eat everything!) I have learned potty training is simply always watching. Too much play equals accidents. It is a constant chore but not more than you would with a little child. In just two weeks she has learned the ropes and commands. I have the time all day long with my husband too to coordinate efforts. The first time we left for 4 hours though she tore up her whole dog bed. Working on that one. All in all I know she will with training and socializing be a wonderful family member. Don’t give up just yet! The energy they have must be diverted to positive reinforcement. And yes, she is a pink nose lab/mix…I can tell she is pit because the older one is too. She is so loving though and wants to please. When I say NO she runs to her crate lol. Anyway, if you have the time (and yes it takes 24/7) it will be worth it!

Got a lab/pit
from animal shelter two days ago. They said she was skin and bones when they found her. She is still low weight but enjoys her meals and treats. True some think need those choke collars when all they need is a sturdy harness and lots of patience and training and socializing. I have had both a lab and a pit before so this is first have two in one.

Toilet training (puppies can’t hold their pee for long unlike adult. Morning give yourself at least an 1 to 2 hours so you feed water and walk them. Before you leave home always let them outside (crate train) if weather is nice and have a fenced back yard (no holes walk around every day check before leave them in the back) let them stay in the back it’s good for them be outside instead stuck inside. Always leave them toys and (chew on large rawhide). Like the article says they like being with you so they look sad if leave them behind.

I was told he was house broken and let him roam the house… but he had gone in the house. I then moved him with his crate into the bathroom and returned from work to war zone. He ripped part of the door frame and sheet rock of the wall. I was more heart broken than anything…really love this dog because he is very smart… with too much puppiness in him… he has to sleep in my bed right next to me. I need some help on training him so I won’t have ruined house… please help me.
