please help

i have a staffy and she is only 7 months but i think she is rlly skinny as you can see her ribs when she turns, also having trouble house training her she pees in the house all the time and quit alot and advice would be greatful and so would your opinions.

She looks an okay weight to me for her age. Is she a purebred?

As for house training, what is your daily routine for her?

definitely not to skinny in the photo, i keep my boys lean enough to see their ribs

More info would be great, exersize, garden, training, how long have you had her? XX

Here's a link that will help

She looks lovely in the photo But yeah more info needed really?

She looks fine in your pic

She isn't too skinny, she is stunning. That's the way they should all look in a perfect world IMO

i dont have the papers to say she is purebred but her mom and dad were both there when i went to pick her up and they were both staffies i can upload pic if you would like to see as having all your opinions would be great.

daily routine she is let out every morning and 2-3 hours through out the day, she also has 2 walks a day one in the morning and one in the evening where i take her up to the local park where she is let off the lead with my border terrier to chase a ball for about an hour each time.

i have had her since she was 13 weeks old its just this week she has started peeing on the bed, this has happened 4 times this week just dont know what to do.

Pushing boundaries! Stick to you training, clean all mess up with no fuss and keep her in the garden until all business is done!!

Has she had a season yet as this can throw them off track a little also. Nothing to worry about just growing up in spurts Xx

Your bed or her bed? Daisy has had a wee on my spare bed so I always keep the bedroom doors shut just to be on the safe side!

Do you have something that you say to her when you want her to go and do her business? I say that to Daisy 'go and do your business' and she know what that means now.

Keep at it, I'm sure it's just a phase.

no she has not had her season when do they have there fist season and want to get her spay as have 2 other male dogs in the house they have both been done but still dont want the harassing her

she has done it on my my bed 3 times when i have been sleeping lol i tell here to go wee wees in the garden and she does go but then goes in the house shortly after

It varies but at 7 months I think it could be any time now.

Oh dear!! Maybe try letting her out more often until she gets to grips with only doing her business outside.

ok i will try letting her out more i am proud of her today as only had one wee in her cage and one on the kitchen floor. i also have a boarder terrier, pug and her best friend a English bulldog cross staffy.

Wow, a full house!! We'd love to see some pics....

i can upload a pic of the staffy bulldog if you would like.

I'm not sure about spaying, whenh I got Daisy I didn't know if she's been done so had to wait until she's had a season to find out. Someone else will be abke to advise I'm sure.

There is a huge debate on when you should neuter, do some research and never get pressured into anything. Both mine have been done early, Moo after her first season and she has developed amazingly and is a very calm placid girl.

Do whats right for you as there isn't a wrong or right answer but lots of arguments against and for Xx

ok i will probably let her have her first season and then get her done as i dont make any difference as all my male does have been done.

also can i ask what is the best food for a staffy as i am looking at this food called pero stb food but only for adults do you think she will be ok on it.

Have a look at this

thank you this is my first forum so dont know my way around everything

You'll figure it all out, any problems just ask

Definitely do an introduction though, we'd love to see some pics of your family

Your in the right place to ask any questions you have, we all have dogs (not all staffs) but can help with our own experiences Xx

this is my 15 month daughter and mollie

Ahh they're both gorgeous Molly actually looks similar to my Daisy in that shot!

i am glad i found this forum as staffies are so different to other breeds of dogs i have had. so its nice to have people to talk to the have experience with the breed.

Cute pic! Xx

and last pic this is my staffy cross English bulldog

Both lovely pics

Gorgeous too, glad you like the forum

I don't neuter, but if you're going to, then I'd advise you to wait at least until she's had her first season (as long as you can keep her away from entire dogs), and preferably until she's had her 2nd season. She could have her fisrt season at any time now!

She's gorgeous, and the Staff x Bulldog is too

LOVE the bulldog x. Look more like an olde bulldoge to me than the bags of wrinkles that are about now days

As for the peeing in house, take her out every 30 mins during the day, don't let her back in until she pees and then lots of praise and a play about then in the house again.

Lily was a 2 year old rescue so I had to get her spayed inbetween seasons. I just wanted to say when you do get her spayed please consider keyhole spaying. When they brought her out to me I thought they were going to say they couldn't do it, she looked so well and no lampshade collar either. She had 3 nicks, 2 stitches in one and one stitch in the other 2. It is more expensive so it depends on people's circumstances, I only mention it as some people may not know that it can be done this way - and they did actually take everything including the ovaries.

Lovely pics. Dogs are like people some skinnier than others, my Lola is really skinny whereas Lily is a curvy girl!

She is lovely and does not look skinny to me at all. Great advice all round. Perhaps she may have a cold in her bladder?
