You also said they would be like this with you but can still ignore visitors. I wondered is this something the dogs did on there own or did you have to train them to be like that? . If you did train them,How did you go about making sure they ignored visiters but still jump up to you for abig kiss/lick ?.

			<description>I'm trying to do the Cesar Millan thing, but am really struggling. First thing in the morning Brando is so excited to see me and she jumps up and runs about carrying her little kong bone, really excited and really, really cute. I can't help but give her cuddles.



I do see though, that this is rewarding over-excitable behaviour and she can get a bit aggressive (?) later in the day and grabs onto trouser legs and won't let go and just growls and shakes them. She has also done the grab and shake  ...</description>

But  3 or 4 times a day he will come nudge your feet and then lay down on his back,As thou he wants a belly rub. Then when i bend down to rub him he bites my hands really hard.He  ...</description>

			<description>My Ruby is about 10 weeks old now. Now over the 2 weeks we have had her, I've been trying my hardest to get her toilet trained, and aside from some mishaps, she is a very clean girl now.



Or so we thought....She has started to &quot;pretend&quot; to go outside now. She crouches down and has a real small leak. We praise her for doing it, normally wanders around and does a number 2 and is ready to come inside. As soon as my girlfriend is upstairs while I am still in bed, she toilets in the kitchen.  ...</description>

Oreo Is 20 weeks (nearly 5 months) now and recently has started to show some new and undesirable behaviours; He has decided that when you call him and he doesnt wnna cum he will bark at you - the lady at puppy class said its because it has become a game but he hasnt been doing it long enough for it to have slowly 'become' a game.  Another thing is if you call him sometimes he will  stand just out of reach or if he is in reach and you try to hold his collar he jumps back and  ...</description>

			<description>Do any of your pups have a hair obsession? Brando will get to my hair whenever she can and grab and pull and bite at it. It's not good as both of us in the house have long hair, so she totally grabs at both of us.



Apart from being annoying, it also is coming out her other end and I have to keep pulling the poo out of her bum as it's kind of attached and bungee jumping out of her!



Of course we try not to let her anywhere near our hair, but she tends to stalk up and grab it when you are not  ...</description>

Brando will be able to properly go outside tomorrow, but I wondered how long I could walk her for? 



I have heard of the 5 minutes per month rule, but have also heard that it kinda refers to 5 minutes of intense excercise rather than just regular walking (as presumabley they could walk around for a lot longer than that if they were just in the house?).



She is 11 weeks old, so would I be able to walk her to the park and back? It is a 5-10 minute walk  ...</description>

Miley is nearly 6 months but still hasnt got stocky, she is slimline, not skinny or unhealthy. She has good muscle tone around her legs and chest but thats it. We met a nother 6 month old staffy that was much stockier.

 

We feed her on a basic pedigree dry food puppy food. Should we give her meat etc to up her protein. We feed her 2-3 medium meals a day. Im thinking maybe this isnt enough? </description>

Just deciding on which winter coat to get Cool Breeze.. thought I had decided on one (it's £45), but Ian thinks it's a bit pricey considering she'll only be in it for a short amount of time.  I just think Cool Breeze is a wussy and I'll do anything to make her first trip out (this Saturday!!) as enjoyable as possible - snug, waterproof, wind proof etc etc   



What do you think - should I just order it and get the next size up (5 cm longer), or ??  Any advice appreciated - the sooner  ...</description>

The worst time is when she is playing with other dogs and wants to get away she always runs to the nearest human and leaps at them, she nealry knocked 2 people over in the park last night. It's not just like she stands on her  ...</description>

Oh and the chewing...!

			<description>I asked the vet this morning, only puppies are offered a parvo booster jab as they are much more susceptible even after vaccinations, if there has been a recent outbreak in the area (there has here) they will offer the jab routinely. It is done at 14 weeks (you can take them out as normal a week after first jabs this is just a back up) and here it costs £10, they only ever have it once as after that they are OK.

Havent posted for a while as you can see in the new pic we cracked the fussy eating problem thanks to the great advice from members on this site and Izzy is now eating well and putting on weight 10kgs at 6mths still a bit on the small side just less of her to pull me round the park  



However all is not well Izzy is our first pup and we still have a problem with that she likes to treat out 8 year old son as a bit of a playmate jumping up at him snapping the air and pushing him around  ...</description>

			<description>Just a quick question, Jasper is just over 8 weeks old and I was wondering what the general opinion is of when I should get him chipped? Spoke with the nurse at the vets and she said when he is a bit bigger as the needle is quite big and it might hurt him but what age do ou guys think?

 

Just as an update he is settling in really well. His first night at home was Saturday and he cried in his crate for a short time when he was put to bed but soon stopped and last night there was no crying  ...</description>

Then he will start to pull us back to the house, it can take a while and a bit of pulling/pushing to get him to move on a bit then he will walk for a minute or so and dig his heels in again. I give him a bit of fuss to show him its ok and he is safe etc just incase he feels scared. Then he'll  ...</description>

			<description>I think we have let Brando sleep up on the couch too often as she now doesn't want to sleep in her crate. Even when shattered at night if we take her off the couch sleeping and put her into her crate she will gather the energy to jump out the crate and come back over and sit at our feet to pe picked back up and let onto the couch where she immediately falls back into a deep sleep.



We can keep taking her back into her crate forever and she will keep coming back. If we don't let her on the couch  ...</description>

			<description>This is totally my fault, but I don't know how to fix it.



When I first got Brando she remained on the Breeders diet of premium tinned puppy food mixed with Iams. I only wanted her to have dry food, so when the Iams ran out I changed her onto Purina Pro Plan. The transition was smooth with no real issues. I did a lot of research on dry foods and found that Purina wasn't that great, so again I changed her diet, this time onto Orijen. She was so excited by the smell of it that I gave her it straight  ...</description>

			<description>Sorry everybody that I only seem to ask questions on this forum, but I don't have much helpful info to give out yet. 

My question this time is that I'm wondering if 6 months old is getting a little late to still be biting?  He seems like he's just playing and its not vicious, but it's kind of embarrassing when he'll nip and bite at everyone he meets.  Even people he knows well (my wife) and other children.  It seems like it only happens when he's excited, and most of the time when he meets people  ...</description>

			<description>Hiya

 

I've had Barney for almost 3 weeks now.  He's been sleeping in a bed in the living room as it was too cold in the kitchen for him.  He's started to chew some things.  So we decided to get a crate.

He is quite good at coming in and out of his crate, but the minute i shut the door he starts crying.  I don't want to just shut the door and leave him crying all night as he will keep the kids up not to mension the neighbours.  Any advice would be appreciated.

			<dc:creator>Cool_Breeze</dc:creator>
			<description>Hi 



Just wondering if anyone has any idea why Cool Breeze keeps getting hiccups?  She's had them every day since we got her (just over a week ago), at first it was really cute, well it still is but I'm thinking it can't be very nice for her.  



If we knew what the trigger might be we could help her, or is it just one of those things she'll grow out of?



Any ideas/advice appreciated

But my Joker got white &quot;dust&quot; in his coat.
<br />
Is there something I can do?
<br />
What does it come from?
<br />
Could it be his puppy shampoo? or is it just cold outside.
<br />

Any advice would be nice  <img src="http://staffy-bull-terrier.niceboard.comhttp://staffy-bull-terrier.niceboard.com//users/2014/41/67/06/smiles/955795.gif" alt="" />]]></description>

			<description>Hi again everyone



We're struggling a bit with Cool Breeze's potty training.. she was doing really well (only a few accidents in the first 2 weeks) but all of a sudden she's decided she will go anywhere but not outside when it's raining.  



This seems to have happened since her introduction to rain on Sunday morning which she hates - she spends all her time trying to hide under my legs/under garden table etc to get shelter.  Living in the North West, we kind of really need her to get over  ...</description>

			<description><![CDATA[I really really want Jasper to be good on a lead, my previous staff was a rescue and was 2 yrs old when I got her. She had never been lead trained and would not walk with the lead attached to her collar as she pulled too much. i had to walk her on a harness but she pulled really bad as she did not know any better, tried all the techniques but nothing worked!!!!
<br />

<br />
What is everyones opinion about whether a collar or a harness is better?]]></description>

			<title>Feeding on Beta Puppy food</title>

			<description>OK you probably all think I am a bit neurotic by now but never mind!!!!



Jasper is having Purina Beta Puppy dry food which he loves but the feeding guidelines are really vague!!!! He is 8 weeks old at the moment and I just wondered if anyone else used this food and how much did they feed their pup? Also how much did you increase it by every week?



Am totally paranoid about him being fat or hungry!!!



Thanks guys!!!!  </description>

			<description>my moms dog Tilly was spayed at the same time as Toby was netured and has started weeing and pooing everywhere in the house! she was completely dry before this. do you think its because of the op? 

 

i know she found it painful 'to go' at first and have thought mayb shes holding herself to the point she cnt atually make it now as she thinks it will hurt   

 

any1 else experience this with their females? </description>

			<description>Oreo Has been doing great - No more snarling or lunging or biting.  But today he seems to be going back to his old ways.  He was eating a filled bone and i took it away to readjust him blanket and then after i took it away he grumbled and went to try and bite my other hand.  Then he was running around trying to bite me kind of growling - When I tried to grab him he grumbled and tried to bite me.  I went upstairs and when i came down he was pestering the degus and when i tried to stop him he tried  ...</description>
