EMMETT Pit Bull Terrier Grand Forks, ND

Hi, I'm Emmett! I am a sweet boy who loves to be with my people! Initially I am a little unsure and shy as I get to know new people and places, but I am making improvements with my confidence. I enjoy taking walks and do really well with my leash skills - I even do well jogging! I LOVE to play tug-of-war and at times may get a little over excited when playing, but what can I say, I am a strong boy. With guidance I have been learning how to play more appropriately. I am also a great chewer - I have not met a 'stuffy' I can not destroy and I love the challenge. But don't worry, as long as I have chew toys, I will leave your non-chew things alone.

I travel well in the car, am potty trained, and sleep well in my kennel, even though I would LOVE to sleep in the human bed, I do require boundaries to keep me from resource guarding. I do whine when initally kenneled, but if given a good bone I often settle down. I don't like to be alone, but do not need constant attention, I just like to be in the same room as you. This has been improving some as my confidence grows.

I am attending obedience class and am a star student! I am VERY food motivated and am handler focused. I know my basic commands and listen well (once we form a bond). I am about to start doggy daycare to help socialize me and grow my confidence - I am very excited!

I live with cats and have been slowly introduced to them. Initially I was VERY interested, but now we just hang out together. If they run or tease me, I do still get a little excited... but they do try to taunt me! I have never shown aggression towards the cats.

I am a GREAT guy who forms a tight bond to my person. If you are willing to be consistent with my training I am SURE TO PLEASE!
