I have come to the conclusion that my dog is at least mostly pit bull, and his behavior is different from any other dog I have kept, so I have to ask for some advice.
In a month or so (hopefully), he will be riding in a long-haul semi with the hubby and me. He is 13 months old now, according to the Pound, and either really hyper or asleep. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground, except that he loves to play grabass with me. He never bites hard enough to hurt me, nor do I hurt him when I grab his paws and snoot, but if someone accidentally hurts him, he doesn't yelp like other dogs. He growls and bites.
He stays by my side when I take him out of the house, but when Tony tried to take him out, he bolted, and I had to call him back. He seems to be a one-owner dog.
My concerns are that he will bite someone who comes up to the truck and tries to play with him, which may or may not be a good thing, and that he will bolt if I am not supervising him. Does anyone have any advice on what I should be doing to train him, in the coming month or so?
Thanks
