To be honest, I don't follow training Books. I train my dogs the way I feel they should be trained. I don't beat them or anything, but training books are complecated sometimes and I think that you should train them yourself.
It's not to late, but if you want the 11 month old to behave began training ASAP. When he is eating, stick a stick and move the bowel around to make sure he is not aggresive towards food. If he is, he is dangures and you need to help him get out of it. Basic commands like, Sit, Stay, come, heel and get him used to other dogs and anamails. I think you should just train him what you think or how you think he needs to be trained.
Same goes for both.
Good luck,
Jessica
P.S.
I love pit bulls, I used to have one mixed with great dane she was so sweeeeeeeettttttttttttttt

If you mean housebreaking, look up KENNEL TRAINING on the net. Not just one site, but several. Take the advice to heart and follow to the letter. Especially about keeping the same EXACT spot outside, where you want the dog to go.
If you mean tricks, look that up too. Totally easy, just takes time.
If you mean that you have an aggressive pit bull and want to make it nicer..not going to happen. If it shows aggression, that is part of its physical breeding. Contact a pit bull rescue group, tell them what your pit is doing. It's important. I know lots of folks say pits are not mean, just trained to be, but that is pit owners who have a CURRENTLY nice pit. If yours shows aggression now, it will always show agression. You may suffocate it with you, for now, but you never know when a pit is going to get crazed and attack you, a child or anyone.

It is not to late, You can still train your dogs. A training book will help , although an experienced trainer would be better.

If you treat them like they're smart, they will respond and be smart. Believe me, it does work.
And yes, there are a number of very good dog-training books on the market.
Good luck with your puppies!

keep them away from the neighbors and try to train them now because when they get older without any training,they can attack anyone,even you.

If they bite someone, the police will put them down.
And that person will sue you.
Sorry but its the truth.
