Hi all, We have had our staff x GS puppy for 4 weeks now, now 12 weeks old and god is she hard work!
She's energetic, fun, very affectionate and so far have no real problems.
I personally am not a huge dog fan (still gets loved liked my son) but my Fiancée has grew up with staffs so hence the choice.
We do live we're there a lot of staffs which tbh is a bit of a put off (status dog types) but we will not be bringing her up anything like that, we have a 16 month old son who's gets licked to death most mornings!
Here's some pics of Tilly

So, here are a couple of questions as I will do some searching for some answers to.
She tends to only listen to me, for e.g. If she jumps on the settee I can say down no more than twice and she's off, if The OH has trouble and then Tilly starts to bark, I think to initiate play, bum in the air, bum shuffle run if you know what I mean! She doesn't really want to know with training either, either run about barking or cuddling up!
And she tends to nip the OH more often, when ever I play with her and she nips me I'm there straight away with a stern NO, then back to playing she goes, I very really get nipped now. Jo does this but still gets nipped, could it be my deeper voice?

Long first post isn't it!

Thanks all

hi from me and the boys

Re: Another new member (with pics) · by Guest Mon Nov 05 2012, 17:18

Hi & welcome.

She's a beauty, but I must admit although she's a big girl, I can't see any GS in her! Big Grin

Who trains her more, you or your oh, and who feeds her?

Re: Another new member (with pics) · by possle Mon Nov 05 2012, 18:03

Thanks for the replies guys.
We both do the feeding and I do 80% of the training, im guessing its because of that. I am more strict, jo would have her sleep in bed with is if it was up to her!

They smell weakness Smile

Seriously, Callie nipped and disobeyed my daughter for months after she'd stopped with the rest of us. And still listens to me best. They know. Can your OH do more of the training?

Welcome

she's adorable.

Loki used to listen to my dad and not the rest of us, but we soon caught up. I think it's just that she sees your OH as more of a playmate, so have her do some more of the training so she'll understand more "Oh, I have to obey her to get rewards too."
