My 2 and a half year old female Pit Bull keeps nipping at everyone no matter what I say to her. She wags her tail and pretends to be nice and then breaks bad. She was 5 months old when I rescued her from a place that fights Pit Bulls.
If you got her from a place that fights pits, then you need professional help to train her. The classes at PetSmart or PetCo might be enough but I doubt it. Call a professional trainer and ask their advice. She'll probably turn out to be a great dog for you, but she needs the specialized training to "un-train" what the breeder had trained into her, both with his training and her watching what was happening around her. It's going to take a lot of time and patience, and a lot of training and consistency, but I'd lay odds you've got yourself a very good dog.

Please get her to petco or petsmart for obedience class. They are said not to be to expensive at all. She actually thinks it's playful and I'm sure it is in her way but playfulness needs to be controlled because when she gets bigger she will still think she is playing and not realize her strength. and those people who raise fighting pit bulls need to be shot.
