“ Ive had some issues with my dogs because I havent been able to dedicate time to them or at least not as much as i used to and it really does make a difference. Ive noticed that when i there was a minimum of ten minutes a day with strict discipline they were fun dogs 80% of the time, when i started to give them slack because of school and work, they tried to take over the house. Now that im out of school ill be able to correct the problems before they get out of hand. When i joined the group my pit was about 12lbs and now hes between 60-70lbs hes still a puppy only ten months so discipline is key for my dogs, mixed in with some fun at the park and some treats with a lot of attention they are some of the best dogs i could ave asked for. This group helped me socialize my pit and now he gets along with most dogs, i have to becarefull with small dogs because he might mistake them for cats but once they have been introduced he can be really playful. ”
