BigZeus.... I also commend you for coming here and admitting you're wrong. There are a lot of EXTREMELY PASSIONATE people here. Though what you did wasn't right, you were TRYING to do the right thing, and now that you're correcting it... that's FANTASTIC! As some have said, you can correct the mistakes you've made and get Zeus to trust you again, but its going to take a lot more time and work than had you done it right the first time.... just like anything in life :)

But I'm so excited that you've come here for advice! Read through the puppy and training stickies and you'll get a lot of the basics. NILIF is an awesome tool that builds training into your lifestyle to the point where you're training and don't even know it! I'm also young, 22, and this site has given me SOOOO much information and help. Without it, I fear our Vegas would have zero manners and some serious issues lol.

Anyway, I just wanted to give you a positive response and wish you good luck with your pup. He's lucky to have someone who cares so much about him.... not to mention, you're one of the few men I've ever seen that can actually admit to a mistake! I wish my man would do that lol :D
