my stafford doesnt really like a bath either, but hey if i need to bath him then he will have a bath.. make sure ther is a non slip mat in the bath ( if they slip all over the place they tend to freak out a bit) use treats nice calm voice and i use a hose with shower head on it nice arm water, and he has no choice but to stay there till ive finished.

what i was going to say... MrsD said it all.. shes a baby i wouldnt expect any more than that at our side especially, id have her in front of you, graduall incresing the time and space.. whats the rush shes a baby... shes done so much so far and is doing great

thanks for all your help guys. he had a better night last night. ignoring and left a radio on in the kitchen..

thanks tony i have no idea what has brought on the winging thing but i will certainly keep at it.. thanks also for your comments on the fear side , none of my dogs have reacted this way so its kinda new to me,, he is tho as a lot of staffords are super sensative to a lot of things.. big sooky mummys boy !!..lol

lol i have hd those exact same e mails, but about my lab boy who crossed the bridge last march,, i keep getting them just delete.... money making rubbish. better off going to local obed club..

ok remy is 10 months old,,( just) hes going though that im scared of anything that moves stage.(2nd fear imprint). plastic bags,, kids yelling hes scared of my 2 yo nefew anything, the other thing that concerns me is him winging all night long in his crate...lol hes been crate traied from the day he got here 8 weeks old, has never had an issue or a bad experience in it now all of a sudden he hates it,, he winges and crys all night,, very distressing for us,, i hate to see him.or any dog that upset the kids cant sleep they keep asking can they let him out and take him to bed.. tried sitting with him giving him treats feeding him in there etc,, hes ok while im there,, then crys when im gone, gave him bones to ocuypy him he wouldnt touch them,, the other night i let him out, crate is in laundry, but i closed the laundry door so he was still confined, he has water in there blankets toys ,, u name it. well he was happier and no crying till 3 am,, so he did well (3 hours). last night i did same and gave him a chew thing to go to bed with this morning when i got up he was in crate with door open,, cheeky little sod.. so what do i do,, do i keep it that way or do i close the door and put up with his winging that drives everyone maddddddd and it doesnt just go for an hour or so , he is persistant and will cry all night maybe 10min breaks in between very frustrating when hs been so good untill now i know its probably just this fear imprint stafe and h will get over it,, but what can i do to make him more comfortable and happy in the mean time.. oops just realised i put this in puppy, should of maybe put in training...

oh dear i saw the heading and pannicked... glad she is doing well shoey

ohh dear ive only just seen this what a shock, i had no idea.. how horible for you all,, hugs and condolances to you all, run free little ishka taken far soon, my boy dodge will meet you at the bridge and look after you.. thanking of you all

simetimes if i get bones from safeway,, in meat section i get the soup bones,, as there is a lot of meat on them.. there is pork bones,, have fed them no affects and dogs love them... last week i had pork snitzel in fridge to cook for kids for dinner. for some reason it didnt get cooked,, i dont like it sitting in fridge more than 2 days so.. dogs had it. mind you i got some great attention heeling and work one,, i used it to do a short training sesion, in backyard dangling a pork snitzel does wonders..

tomorrow is daughters birthday,, theyhav australia day festival on at the forshore park,, there is a pet parade,, going to tae dogs down to parade in their anti bsl tshirts...

aw noo,,, hope all goes well. and they're both ok...

Charlie 10 weeks. She taught us that not only could dogs fart, but they are also mighty burpers! lol burping and farting,, yep sounds like a typical staffordshire bull terrier to me. .. i bet she snores too (not english) sorry had to edit that, my one pet hate

my staffy boy now 9 months. has not chewed a thing,, other than his own toys and nylabone.. my other boy toby lhasa apso x,, is a devil in disguise and is 2 this year and still chews things,, yesterday he stole a straw broom from the garage and chewed it up

omg no....... a very special boy.. RIP darling boy... warley so very sorry for your loss, how truely devastating

thinking of you both at this very hard time.. your angel will look down on you and help you through this hard time. so very sorry for your loss.

without knowing her full history to hard to say.... my first thought is was she socialised as a young pup wthout makayabe?.. was she introduced to lots of other dogs in a nice calm manner?..did.she have any bad experiences as a young pup? if i were you i wouldnt be puting her at risk in situations like that,, meet with a few dogs that are nice calm sociable,,one at a time that you know wont have any problems,, build the sessions up longer and slowly introduce different dogs... you may also need to see a professional trainer who deals witht his type of thing.. do you attend obedience club?. this could also help.. you are in a more controlled area.

hows miss molly today shoey??/
