Briggs sounds like a lot of fun! Of course we know pit bulls love to play the clown.
I'm too lazy to teach tricks, and the only one I taught Chloe is "High Five" which people find very charming.
She went to obedience school too and knows all her commands, plus "Go Home" and "Go to bed". She also knows "Wait", "leave it" "Stay close" and "nice!"(for taking treats) When I first got her and gave her a treat, I swear my arm would be down her throat up to my elbow! LOL!
She also knows "in a minute" which means "Dont' bother me and I'll take you out later"....."Coming right back" means she is not going with me and she sulks off to her bed in great sorrow. If I say, "Going in the car" she runs to the garage door.
She knows "Enough!" which means stop acting like an idiot and calm down.
