Thanks, I will look into them.

Thanks! I have booked him in and we will just wait until then. I just thought I would see if there was anyone else highly recommended that we could maybe see earlier.

Yes this is why we are seeking help! Steve is booked for the next 4 months. I was just seeing if there was anyone else we could see sooner to help.

We are upper North Shore. We are happy to travel to get the right help.

Hi, I am after any recommendations for a dog trainer to help us with our 6 year old English staffy. He has recently shown aggression towards other dogs. We have two young children and would like to get some help with training as it was a side of him we haven't seen before. We are located in Sydney but happy to travel. Thanks.

It is on my list now of things to try to help him!! He does run around lots and plays constantly at home without any issues...but you never know. I just wish they could talk and tell you exactly what the problem is!

Thanks for the advice Staffyluv. I didn't realise there are chiropractors that work with dogs!! It maybe something to look into. I will also try just using his flat collar with the lead to see if that makes any difference. The harness he currently has is a front leading one to help stop the pulling.

Thanks Erny! I will definitely give this a go. He loves other dogs so this may help.

Yes I have tried that and he does the same thing! Will initially appear happy to walk and then pulls up and plants his paws in after walking about 100 metres.

Thanks! The vet has checked him out and doesn't think there is anything wrong. He has had some training and was good with walking but I'm thinking we may need to do some more. He has just begun showing a very stubborn side!!!

Hi, he seems fine that nothing else is wrong. I have tried a couple of different harnesses as well. As far as I know nothing has spooked him when out walking. I have also tried different times of the day to see if that works but he still pulls up!

I am just wondering if anyone has had the same experience or can offer any advice. I have a 1 year old Staffordshire bull terrier who suddenly doesn’t want to go for walks. He was previously an ok walker but recently he will just refuse. He appears keen at first and will eagerly head out of the house but once we get past the end of our street he just plants himself and refuses to move. I have tried using food and treats to encourage him to walk, which initially seemed to work but now he isn’t interested in them. I have tried to take him on walks in different areas but he still pulls up and becomes stubborn after 100 metres or so. He does enjoy having a play at home and a run round in the back yard so I know he is getting some exercise. Thanks
