Pit bull adoption

Dang...this thread is going to make me want to get another dog. I already have two.

I have a couple pit mixes and I love them to death. Dogs are a huge part of my life though. I have three at the house and if someone offered up another one, I'd probably take it. Great looking puppy you have there. I'll definitely say that crate training is the way to go.

I think Pit Bulls are some of the most beautiful dogs around. Coloring, build, coat - great dog. I'm at the dog park regularly with my two, and some of the pits there are the friendliest dogs I've ever met (beside my own, of course). Congrats on the new friend!

Layla.
An adopted female from the Humane Society.
She was found on the street stray, as a puppy.
A wonderful, sweet, great dog.
Not an ounce of meaness.
55 lbs of nothing but gratefulness to be part of the family.

Forgot to mention, friendly to all dogs. Never aggressive. Looks at you wondering why other dogs go nuts when they see her and try to attack her. Gets beaten up by my Maltese and Yorkie and has never retaliated.
It is not the dog. It is the people that own the dog that make it what it is. I truly believe that with Layla.

anyone have any tips for crating. he still is randomly pissing and craping in the house but maybe once a day.

What do you want to know?

the easiest way for him to get his leash when he needs to go outside.

I got my pit mix from the Humane society and they said that dogs that come from there take longer to crate train. I guess because they use the restroom in/on the floor at the humane society.

i read that also. it's because they are basically forced to do so. i just hope he passes this phase quickly. it's kinda funny because he walks up right in front of me, doesn't make a sound and poops or pisses. i just take him out as soon as it happens. at night he stays in the crate with it next to the bed. he does get kind of upset that we don't let him up there.
