I did my first puppy training class today and man what and eye opener. Its really good, but basically everything fun you want to do with the dog can’t be done until you have them rigorously trained. My puppy had a complete spaz out like I have never seen because the trainer tried to check his collar.

Luckily he’s 10 pounds and she’s patient but he full on snapped under the stress.

I could only imagine a full grown pit bull doing that. Its scary to watch even my dog go through it.

But its back to the point where you have to have them basically broken to rebuild how they see things and have that level of control over them. I can see its a ton of work. It was also interesting that out of 15 dogs not a single bully breed. The ones that need it the most.
