Pit bulls are the best dogs ever. My pit bull did rather well in obedience training but you have to make sure to work with them a lot outside of the classes. As for free classes, I would look on craigslist, that is probably your best bet.

• I don't know of any free ones. At the San Mateo SPCA they offer low cost training.

• You really can train your dog yourself.
  
  Have you establish that you are the pack leader? The best way is to flip him onto his back pin him down and growl in his face. It scares the crap out of them, which is good because he needs to know you are in charge.

• First of all do not worry, dogs at that age are perfectly normal to be wild. First of all it's only age thing, then you have to be firm and just firm with your dog. That means loads of conversation between you and your pet dog. If you do not communicate with a dog than the dog can't learn. Just be a leader and raise the dog properly and be firm.
  No need for training classes you can do it trust me just talk with your dog, and be firm NO means NO loud and rude NO. Ignore when you not in a mood to tolerate the bad behaviour from a dog and be firm.
  Some people say don't punish a dog don't be 2 firm, be as firm as you have to till he learn, also what works well is to built a small crate in your flat and limit him general area and he will find out quite soon that he is bad boy, and you will see how firm hand and crate can make an excellent pet, but you have to work with him. He is not human and he don't understand many things that humans do.


• I just got done taking a class with my puppies and it's easy. Buy a clicker ($2.00 max) and bag of treats. Self teach yourself..First do the sit command..everytime he/she sits on command, use the clicker and reward with a small treats. Keep doing constantly, once he/she mastered it, move to another commands....like stay. Hope this help!
