Welcome Ed. I think you've Chosen the right course. I have two Pits, a Lab-Mix from the street and an ??? mix-mix-mix.. also from the street. Because I was a complete beginner when starting with the Pits I took many LB Courses and also bought a library of DVDs in my enthusisasm. I can use some of them continuously, from others I had to limit myself to the easier part. All is so much fun as long as we don't overwhelm our dogs. I wish you and your dogs also great fun!
