Hi from Shirley and Daisy

Hello everyone. Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. We've had Daisy for 8 days now ( a late xmas present for our 15 and 17 year old kids). She is a sweet little pup that LOVES to chew:). She's a big change for me as I was brought up with Maltese dogs and my mom currently has 2 yorkies, so I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can about raising our Staffy.

Thanks so much! Looking forward to it and will be posting photos for sure! One thing I do hope to find is advice on how to curb her from biting us. It hurts!!! badly! So when I get a chance I will try to see if anyone has posted anything. I have gotten some advice from a trainer so I'm hoping that will help.
Thanks again!
Shirley

Jed is 12 weeks old and slowly learning how hard to bite, eventually dwindling it down to no biting, i do 3 differant things, very sternly say no, cry or whimper like a dog, after saying no i stand still and ignore him or move away and ignore him. Unfortunately they have very sharp needle teeth and yes i have a few war wounds on my hands and arms. Biting is a natural process for dogs to learn how to play and learn how hard they can bite, another puppy or dog would teach them this by letting them know when they have been bitten to hard. Jed is getting softer with his biting and learning how hard he can go with me. When Daisy does bite and hurt try not to pull your hand etc away as she will still think you are playing. Persistence and ensuring everyone in the household does the same thing, hopefully will help. It does get better. Big Grin
