Oh now, Buddha does not look like a killler....what a sweetheart! You will find quite a few pit bull lovers here. Here's my opinion...just an opinion....

I wouldn't take EVERYTHING the trainer says to heart. He's only been to one class! I have a siberian husky puppy, Nebo, that just graduated puppy kindergarten a few weeks ago. I had a few "incidents" with him. He supposedly bit another puppy but I didn't see exactly what happened. He had 2 dogs going after him while I was trying to pick him up. He got a bit rough a few times too. Other puppies got too rough too...it happens. He used to be quite aggressive when he was younger, but he's really getting better as he matures. He is friendly to other dogs, but will get not so friendly if they get near his food/toys. What kind of dog is Reily? It sounds like they get along very well, and that is good.

I really think your trainer needs to give you more of a chance. You will see a difference in him as he goes to the classes. There will be good days, and bad days...believe me. But stick with it, and give him all the socialization you can give him. I'd go through the Basic and Advanced classes with him too. I plan on doing that with my dog.

I think it is true that some dogs just do NOT get along with other dogs. Pit bulls really aren't known for their friendliness to other dogs, but that doesn't mean they *can't* be dog-friendly. It doesn't sound like your pup is that bad, and you can help him by socializing him with dogs. Good luck, and Buddha is adorable!!
