I just saw your post haven't been going to the fourms a lot (Overtime at work). I don't have any real soulutions some things to try. How is the dog around kids? If she is differant it may be a child that can bring him out of his shell, just don't leave the child alone with the dog always and I mean always keep your eyes on the dog. Wally lights up like a sunbeam everytime the grandchildren show up. How is the dog around other dogs (bear in mind there can always be some natural animal aggresion in a PittBull). Wally is good with female dogs, but a little on the aggresive side with male dogs. If the dog responds really well with children try intorducing him to all the kids you can (make it part of your walk, Tico will associte kids with you and be a little more accepting). If Tico isn't to dog aggresive then introduce him to as many dogs as you can, the same as before make it a treat or part of your interaction. Of course lots of love and attetion Tico may have been locked in cage all of his puppyhood or even yelled at a lot!
