Can anyone help me with some tips or training ideas for a Staffordshire Bull Terrier2007-11-25 2:59:25

I have a 13 month old Staffie, its a rescue dog, had it for 6 weeks, and i need help with chewing problems, pulling on lead, jumping up on people, continual sniffing outside. Also how can i teach it to protect its owner but without making it an aggresive dog (i walk it alone you see)

Answers:

okay your best bet is to go to a local dog trainer, that would be best because they can properly asses and evaluate your dog, and put your dog onto a right training program that works for your dog.

Advise over the internet is not a good route to go!

good luck

It should learn loyalty to you naturally, as you're the one who feeds and loves it.

as for the problems - I'd seek advice from a dog trainer/training school. My uncle's problem Staffie responded really well to what she learned there.

hi had same problem myself unfortunately couldnt afford a dog trainer, i just spent as much time as possible with the dog, constantly showing how i wanther to walk, keep the lead short pull on it every time he moves beyond a point you want, this takes time but eventually works, praise every time they do it right, im no expert but this worked for me. hope it helps

First is the word "NO" delivered in stern tones that brook no argument.

Chewing: get him some real bones from the meat counter, cook them and hand them over. Somedogs love raw carrots. Remove temptation by picking up the things he chews. 13 months is a late adolescent and he may still be finishing his adult teeth. If he goes for something that is not allowed, pounce on him, yell NO, and take it away while scolding "NO, NO, BAD". The phrase "No- leave it" is a good to one to add in as a command.
