    The pit and lab play all the time.  They’re both still puppies so its always playtime and often they do get a little rough but not aggressive towards each other.  I live way out in the country so obedience classes are pretty much out of the question unless I travel about 4  hours.  These fights have been very serious.  The pit clamps down on the labs nose or ear and won’t let go until he hears us yelling at him.  Then he snaps out of it and instantly feels ashamed only because he knows we’re upset with him.  I’m worried about leaving them alone.  What happens if a fight breaks out and nobody is here to break it up?    

    Thanks for your advice Abby.

    Thanks for the advise. This is my first pit I’ve ever had. I’ve read about how they were bred to fight but are usually great around people, just bad around other dogs. Since mine has shown aggression at such a young age, this really bothers me. He’s a little aggressive when playing with my other 2 dogs as well (full grown big dog breeds). He seems to get carried away and they cry because of a bite to the ear or something.

    I’ll try a spray water bottle and a firm voice (which I do anyway) and hopefully that will detour any aggression in the future for this puppy.

    Any other advise from experienced pit owners is strongly welcomed!! I love this puppy, but am afraid of what it might turn into when its an adult dog.
