Hi K9,
Great stuff.
I have just (2 days ago) bought home a 3 yo staffie male not desexed. Oscar is replacing our previous staffie Dunstall who we had since a pup for 8.5 years and had to be put down because of Cushings disease.
Oscar was a show / breeder star and he doesn't seem too trained. He appears dumb when we try to teach him obediance but we know that he's an intelligent one. He can sit but not for long and thats about it. He constantly tries to stand up putting his paws on your body for attention. We think this standing up is not desirable and have discouraged it by saying NO and turning away.
Given his age and previous duties what tips could you suggest. In the meantime i will try the TOT method.
Thanks in advance.
