Day 3, I have to do what?

The house was very quiet last night, No barking…No wondering around…No poop! Damon waited to do his business outside and that is when I noticed he was still squatting like a pup, and he was favoring his back legs a bit, leaning more on the front when taking a poop, and even spinning a bit. I tied him back up under the peach tree again with his food and water, still afraid he might run off. When I came in the house I did a little more research about Pit temperament and had many, many questions: Is he still a puppy and how old is he Is he sick Does he still have soreness after his surgery Does he have hip problems Was he trained in any way This prompts me to find out as much as I can about Damon and as you can figure we are becoming attached to him. I ask “Nameless” for the paperwork that came with him. I also realize from multiple wonderful web sites; that I have to get off my butt to exercise him, numerous times a day because of intelligence, boredom and high energy. (I could lose a few pounds) Web sites also talk about training him, or in our case re-training him to keep him out of trouble. I decide to first work with proper leash training. “Let’s see what you know Damon, sit! He sits, and I attach his leash to him. He is more than ready, but I am still having some anxiety. With our property having a 3+ acre wooded path for walking in the mountains, I also called Mason to join us (Mason is unleashed) and already knows the drill, so he begins to run the path and dart in and out of the forest. Damon is ready to chase after watching Mason sprint and lunges foreword. “Stop!” I stop and call Mason and he comes back. Wait till Damon calms down the start off again. “Walk!” A little better, not as much pulling…opps what is over here… “Stop!” Mason come, he comes back, Damon relaxes and no pulling. “Walk!” Damon is walking with me now, less pulling, and I’m letting him smell and sniff the new things in the woods. He watches Mason and wants so bad to run and explore but he needs to know the property boundaries first. He becomes better accepting of Mason but as with all Pit dogs on many web sites, never trust them not to fight. We repeat this process a few times and he does wonderful. Damon is actually doing very well.
