We just adopted a 7 month old pocket Pit Bull. He is not neutered. He seems extremely good, but the only thing is he constantly is chasing the cats and and barking at them. I'm not sure if he is being aggressive or not. He was with another cat before and constantly trying to mount the 5 year old Lab. Any help or tips? He is so good other than that.

You should actually get him fixed right away. As for the cat if he was friends with another cat he might want to try and be friends with your cat. You need to be consistent with his training and when he is bad to stop him and talk with him to let him know his behavior is not correct. it will take time to work with the dog nd teach the dog. If you are having some otherissues you can check into hiring a trainer to help you out.
Your dog is developing habits you need to stay on, 7 months old and mounting ,also the aggressiveness and barking. Talk to your Vet for options before he gets out of control with the other pets!
aside from neutering him right away, the best tip is to exercise him a lot. I mean, a lot. I mean, an hour a day of strenuous walking, if possible.
with this sort of dog sometimes they behave better when you put a little bag on them, because then they are 'working' and have an outlet for nervous energy.
I would get this puppy neutered immediately. Before hormonal urges become bad habits. I agree with another poster that exercise daily will help a lot. You could also consider a puppy training class.
