    YES!!! Repetition!!! Pitts are soooo super smart! and I have found with repetition and good behavior treats work well. i as well use a choker for walks. it works well. my dog thinks he can lunge at every cat he sees on walks but with the choker on all i do is give a tug when he trys to and i say “Heeeel” and the “Sit!” and when he does and he clams down he does sit and just wimpers for the cat while he sits still. he does jump up on me every once in a while in the house but all i do when he does this is say “EEEEEASY” and i lean back let him lick and hug ONCE and the say “Ok MAX….DOOOOWN” and then he does. so i reward him and say “good boy” in the house you have to keep him occupied, a lot of toys and try to walk him and run with him outside a lot to tire him out or her. 🙂

    I have made the mistake of buying this dog plush squeaky toy at walmart, destroyed by my nine month old pitt in one day. i now give him the rawhide bones mostly which will last maybe a week. he also has this toy, not sure who makes it, but its excellent. it is a thick rope inside a cylindar type hard ribbed chewy thing. it has dfferent textures and seems indistructable. he doesnt play with it much, but will when he gets bored. he loves plush stuffed toys with a squeaker in them but i really cant buy that for him because they do not last. i am going to look into the kong. thanks!
