An update, puppy food and a thank you!
About a week or so ago I posted a topic freaking out about our puppy going for my son!
Just want to thank you guys for giving me some advice and support and reassure me that it's all normal puppy behaviour! I was worried!
Anyway, an update... Riley still has his mad moments where he charges around th room and tries to jump up or play a bit rough with the kids, but I am being strong and so are the kids and he's listening to commands and we haven't had anymore problems. He sleeps through the night in his crate, can hold his bladder til morning and then wees and poos for britain when we let him outside first thing! He's doing well with his toilet training, only having an accident maybe once every few days and now we've started WALKIES he's a bit calmer too afterwards! In fact, sometimes he's a reluctant walker and sits every few steps, but he's getting there and comes back tired and chilled out!
Puppy party on tuesday night which I'm looking forward to, as a dog growled at him the other day and Riley wet himself so hopefully that'll help.
We've also changed his food to James Wellbeloved ocean fish and rice and he loves it! Getting nice poos from him now(!), he's happy and we're really pleased overall. So thanks for your support guys

Re: An update, puppy food and a thank you!
Brilliant news , and really positive . It's very easy to let everything get on top of you with a new pup and behaviour you aren't sure about . It's amazing how many people just see this and give up , another staffy in keenels or worse.

Great news. I too nearly gave up in the first couple of weeks. I was stressed and exhausted but so glad I persevered.

Wet himself, bless him suppose it's all a bit scary for them at first, but before you know it he'll be dying to play with the dogs. It's great that things are going so well for you, glad to hear you sounding so much happier keep up with what you're doing and it'll continue. Oh, and Riley is adorable

Great positive story. Excellent progress with Riley and you are obviously a lot happier yourself. Glad you found help here, I've found help here myself and it's been very beneficial for me and Logan.
You are doing great!
