Excitement

Does anybody have any tips on how i can nip skyes excitement in the bud?? .. Basically she jumps up and she will push vinnie out the way and even chase him off so she gets all the fuss
Ive so far been trying these:
Turn around untill shes stopped and then ignore her n fuss her when I say so
Gets told NO firmly if she dont listen she goes in her crate to chill out

Anybody have any other tips? I want this nipped in the bud because vinnie is an angel compared too skye since her season shes over excitable i know i will have to go back to basics! And now i can walk on my ankle again she will be going out every day for walks for long walks!! Im thinking that becaise i have only been able to short walk em as i did my ankle in that the bordem has bottled up and she just gets ott excited

I think just more of what you're already doing! Her season has got her hormones all over the place & she just needs the bounderies re-setting.

I think you are on the right track and that's exactly what I would do as well. She should settle down a bit once she starts getting the longer walks. If you can let her off leash somewhere where she can run around that should also help.

Thankyou both .. Nice to know im doing it right lol, shes a stubborn lil madam lol .. I WILL keep at it and them walks are getting longer
Thanks

They can be a bit stubborn and frustrating. You are on the right track and patience and consistency will pay off. If we don't exercise Suki for 2-3 hours a day she is very hard to deal with. If she is exercised she is a sweetie. They just have lots of energy that has to get released in a positive way.

Tell me about it lol vins the same .. Good job we love em lol

Having raised my boys and survived their teenage years I can honestly say that Staffies are perhaps more trying but well worth it

I agree with both Caryll and jstaff.

Haha im used to the stubborn ness bcuz ive always had stffies but only one at a time lol .. She was doing it this morn so i put her outside for 5mins its slowly slowly working but i will deffo!! Be sticking with it!!

You have got to burn the energy of them or they go hyper...

I know and i always do but when i did my ankle in it was kind hard to hlf n hr let alone the 2 sets of 1 n hlf they usually do

Fingers crossed that now you are on the mend and can walk them again she will calm down. Just keep doing what your doing, surely it will pay off sooner or later! Hopefully it will be sooner!

Thankyou =) .. we was FIRM! with her earlier and she did exactly what she was told and no jumping up or snapping at vin! so im hoping! its working .. yep after a get my foot warmed up the pain starts to go and i can take them on there long walks starting again 2moz =)

Sounds like she is getting the jist of it then slowly. Hopefully her hormones will calm down and your persistence will pay off!

Lets hope so =) .. i want her sorted before her op, in feb is when she is 3months clear from season
