twinkle

thanks, yep ive been using food, sometimes she will chase the ball/stick but sometimes just looks at it go and thinks nah! :rolleyes: when she does get it she'll either lay down and chew it into tiny pieces or will want to play tugg with it. as for lying down i will continue to lure her down with food but whenevr she smells a treat she sits and gives me her paw, it will to take time for that change i suppose.?

hi, im wanting to connect with my dog a little more, and thought that i would try and teach her some tricks or maybe even just one she 8 years old and maybe a little set in her ways, she can sit , stay (not all the time) walk off lead and lie around on the sofa alot!! id like her to play fetch as it would be a great way for me exercising her in the yard while playing with the kids and id like for her to lie down, lying down she just doesnt get i have to physicaly move her legs. any advice? or is it too late?

hi, i have and 8year old bitch staffy (english) over the years life has got much busier for me now i have children, and i dont have as much time for her, i walk her evryday but its not always a off lead run on the beach, sometimes just to the shops on her lead. so my DH and i have started taking her for little runs occasionaly, one of us on the bike and her running, its a lot quicker than walking and good exercise (she is a little over weight) she gets pretty out of breath but will slow if she needs to. but then i wondered whether constant running as appose to walking could be bad for her? anyone know? thanks
