Hello all - from Bruno in Tyne and Wear!!

Hey all,

Glad i've found this place, hopefully pick up a few new hints and tips on my journey!

I'm Mark, im from Tyne and Wear in UK. I've a male staffy called Bruno, who I was told was around 2 (only had him a few months) but not sure as alot of people say he looks younger...

Anyway, thought i'd look in here, see whats happening and hopefully make some friends!

Couple of things - hope i'm allowed to post these here..

1. If anyone is able to tell (or make a rough estimate) how old do you think my Bru is?

2. Can NOT stop Bruno from pulling on his lead When I rescued him he was majorly underweight, had very long nails and vet advised he may not have been walked much so that may be why he pulls - any idea how to stop it?

3. (Embarrasing) but he will NOT sleep in his own bed, likes to me in with me for cuddles - occasionally wets himself (just a little) whilst he's asleep... any idea's why or how to stop it.. is he just too comfy?

4. Constantly 'gets jiggy' with his bed once he's been for his walks!


5... If you've made it this far, thanks for reading, and look forward to seeing ur dogs!!

Mark.

PS. can I upload a pic of him on here or does it need to be hosted elsewhere?

PPS. Sorry for being a pain in the ar*e!

For the pulling a no pull harness should help. You can also stop and change directions when he starts to pull. The method takes awhile to work and it makes getting where you are going take longer but it does work in time

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

The bed wetting could just be down to the change of home. I'm sure he will be fine once settled in with you just give him time to adjust to his new surroundings. Rocky has always slept on our bed too.

Welcome to the forum.

You will get a greater response to any issues you might be having in other sections of the forum, don't be afraid to ask any questions you might have. Alot of your issues are to do with settling in and will improve over time. As for the pulling it's a matter of stopping and correcting him with a firm "NO" then once he has calmed, walk on. It will take a while for this to make sense to him though. Don't try correcting a dog while you are still walking as it won't mean a thing to him.

welcome
