My husband and I have been in rescue for several years now and he's a certified dog trainer. BUT boy did Big Al put us to the test.. lol He required A LOT of work, and you really have to be very consistant with your training or else you'll never get anywhere. Also, I would suggest to neuter your dog, for many reason really, but they have an "Alpha" personality, and will continue to try to take that role from you. Big Al is now 4 years old and is a totally different dog then when my MIL moved in with us. If you ever have any questions, feel free to PM me.
