Rambo my bambino

Our 4month old staffy pup barks at us whilst we are sitting on the couch after dinner when her energy levels are up again, so we have a bit of a wrestle and that useally sorts her out but sometimes she just barks and barks for no reason ( well i guess the reason is that she wants our attention). We have a bark busters toy which is a mesh bag filled with marbles (i think). if she is barking like mad we will throw this on the ground behind her to give her a fright and distract her, then we can ask for a sit command and then praise her and continue on from there. good luck, have you got a food/treat ball, we give her her dry food in this and it takes her a while to get her whole meal and by the time she has done she has worn off some energy, good luck

she is a trainer from a local club... thanks for your reassurance, now that ive looked it up im happy that i was going with my gut instinct, if Rambo didnt like it or it was hurting her i would be able to tell then i wouldnt give it to her!!

Hi all, im new here so sorry if i stuff my posting up at first. About frozen bones.. i was at training the other night (community based) and admitted to giving my 4month staffy frozen bones and the trainer glared at me and told me that puppies shouldnt be given bones and surely not frozen bones untill 18months old as the bones can deform the new teeth coming out and lead to gum and teeth problems later in life!! i had never heard this and am now unsure what to do (hence why im here looking for advice!) my pup, Rambo, loves it, the frozen bones help her desire to chew everything and keep her occupied while im at work??? anyone know anything about this? thanks
