My rescue pit bull puppy is afraid of a bell, but not a leaf blower

Duke loves being on the dock because he knows everyone always comes to the dock when they are at the park and the dock is where he can find his friends and his friends can find him . Duke gets so happy and excited when he finds Sedi his favorite Golden Doodle, Louie his favorite Wheaten Terrier, and Bullet his favorite Bull Terrier. And Duke has many more favorite friends , in fact everyone he meets are his favorites. I just wanted to share some of Duke's friends with everyone hoping that you see how much they mean to him by giving you a small glimpse into their friendships .

Ever since Duke was a little boy he has loved going to watch fireworks . I think because he associates it with parties and people where he gets to interact with lots of people and that means lots and lots of attention for him. He does actually watch some of the fireworks but he really goes for the people and excitement of the night . Once he starts to hear the fireworks going off and its dark outside he knows it's time to walk towards the back of the neighborhood and find the party and the Fireworks ,

Handsome Pit Bull teaches Bull Terrier puppy how to play with balloons. When they first start out you can see they are both excited by balloons being brought out and blown up . We had done this once before but the Bull Terrier puppy couldn't figure out how to keep the balloon up in the air. He had just chased it on the ground until he popped it . He still had fun even though he couldn't get it up in the air . This was the first time that we made the two play together with one balloon and the puppy finally got the hang of it by watching his buddy. You can see the Bull Terrier's little wheels turning in his brain as he imitates Duke by jumping and spinning. I think that it is pretty amazing how dogs can learn from watching other dogs , sometimes pretty quickly and sometimes it takes a while . It just depends how motivated they are but they do learn from each other . Just like that saying , Old dogs can teach new dogs new tricks . Just kidding I know what the saying is . I know this video is longer than most people's attention span is . Why is that ? Hope you enjoy.

After not seeing each other for a few days Duke was delighted to see his friend Bullet . He runs to greet him and the elated puppies start racing back down the dock bumping and engaging each other as they run . By the time i realized what was about to happen it was to late so i figured I would just live in the moment . They were and are funny and entertaining to watch . Being a pit bull owner as most pittie owners know it is sometimes difficult to find people and their dogs to let you in to their social circle and become their friends . I have met and become friends with some really awesome people because they have gotten to know us . So when that happens it is amazing . I initially had to deal with this in my own family, but with time they grew to love him and didn't even care if I showed up at all , they just wanted to see Duke. Of course he loved them too and would get really excited to see them.

Duke has always been fascinated with fish and fishing , he gets excited about anything water related actually . He loves the water and everything that goes with it . This guy comes out on the dock while we were there that morning and started fishing normally I would have control of Duke but he was being particularly calm that morning so I thought i could take a couple of pictures. The man was really nice and the two dogs didn't seem to bother him , I will say he was a good sport because he did give duke a big hug .

Being a first time dog owner there was a lot to learn about owning a well balanced and socialized pit bull. it takes a lot of time and energy but the rewards are enormous .They are incredibly intelligent, funny and affectionate they will warm your heart and brighten your day. My pit bull is fascinated with all different types of animals big and small, from horses, cows and pigs to dogs and cats . He especially loves anything to do with the aquatic animals such as manatee, dolphins, frogs, fish and crabs . He loves to see how they react and move and it's funny to watch him . He is gentle and will play with anything that will play with him . He used to fish frogs out of the pool set them on the pool deck and get them to jump and after a little bit they would quit jumping and roll over and play dead , so he would look for another one in the pool and do the same with it .He is also obsessed with fish and fishing He has boundless energy ! We were out for a walk and had found a crab on the dock which was a little unusual , we have found live fish before but never a crab. It must have been dropped by a bird and just happened to be on our early morning walk on the dock. The reason I wanted to start sharing videos of my pit is to help inform people that they can make wonderful additions to your family if they are treated the right way .I always refer back to Cesar Milan's 3 rules : 1 exercise , 2 discipline ( boundaries and limitations ) 3 affection for a well balanced dog . A dog that you can be proud of . They can and do make wonderful and affectionate pets.
