Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

It may be an idea to get a training lead of about 5 meters to start off with and take things from the begining. Just begin with some basic commands like sit and stay and see how it goes. Then gradually build up the distance between you and her with the stay command.




The training lead is a tape of about 2cm wide. They are available from Pets at Home for about £15.00.

buy a long lead (30-50ft) and train her on recall when you call her she comes to you for her favourite food or toy start off a couple of meters away and build up over time so she's the length of the lead away she learns when i return i get a treat

Hiya and welcome from me and Moo! Agree with advice above, you need to practice her recall with her more.

She's very cute in your profile.

Agree. If she has a long line on, then you can just let it trail & if you need to call her & she doesn't respond, just pick it up & reel her in!

Hi and welcome!

hi all thank u for all ur posts im got to start the training today many thanks to u all

welcome

Let us know how you get on!

I found both mine come better to a whistle but you have to work with it in your home first make it so whenever you blow it she gets a special treat
Staffs are cleaver dogs mine learnt it within a few days

I started with the whistle because my girl got to the stage where she wouldnt recal (she did have brill recall to start) so i went back to the basics

hi all thanks for all the tips im of to get her a need lead and we are goin to start today will keep you all posted on how we get on

one more thing when i take her for walks she never gose for a wee we've just got back from a long walk and she just say in front room and went for a wee i told her no how do i get her to go outside

many thanks for all ur tips

Perseverance!

As soon as you get up in the morning, take her straight out. Don't let her in the garden etc. Just straight out, and stay out until she's so bursting that she has to go! Then give a trigger word (wee wee, or toilet, or whatever you want to use) as she's peeing & then loads of praise & maybe a treat! It sounds like she doesn't think it's right to go anywhere except the house/garden!

hello from me and Herman
