He is a seven and a half week Blue Nose Pitbull.
I got him through a friend of a friend.
I've had him for just over 24 hours and I already love him to death.
His name is Opy, which is pronounced Oh-Pee, and it is short for Optimus Prime. =D
Geeky, yes. Do I care? Not particularly. ;)
Ive had dogs before, in fact, there were already two living in my house before I brought him home. But Opy is the first dog that I will be raising on my own...well, with the help of some people on Zinternet.=D
I've never trained a dog before, but I know it's gonna be a rewarding experience and I can't wait
I'll try to post weekly updates and any other significant event that occurs.
Much love,

Look into clicker training. It's amazing how well you can train a dog when you're able to properly communicate to it when it's doing something right. Bonus: you never (or almost never I guess) have to hit them. Just remember to be consistent in your training, train all the time (not just in sessions or classes), and train in different places-- dogs don't generalize behaviours across location, at least not right away.

Opy's a beaut, for sure.
