I wanted to give you an update on "King", the pit/boxer cross whom we adopted last month. We have changed his name to Kaizen, or Kai for short (Kaizen = the Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement).
Kai is an amazing dog who learns quickly and with a great attitude. He is very focused but not reactive. Friendly and adventurous. He has fit into our family really well. He and our other dogs and cat are getting along nicely, and we are maintaining stringent management protocol to keep it that way.
Some of Kai's new skills are:
Eye contact on cue, name response, "leave it" for objects and animals, crating, ex-penning, loose leash walking, sit, down (including at a distance), recalls at 50 yards, recalls away from animals, wait, back-it-up, riding well in the car, friendly vet exams, retrieving to hand, and calm response to fireworks. He is learning to get his nails trimmed and teeth brushed, etc. He is doing great!

We love him very much and feel very lucky to have found him at Homeward Pet!
